Develop Bugs

Why was my thread deleted

I posted a new thread earlier asking advice on how to get my money back from some criminally acting devs of the game app "Bakery Story " and my thread was removed,why are mods encouraging criminal behavior or are they in league with these app devs and doesn't want people to know the truth about these loopholes. Also this is general section and I see a lot of questions being asked here, on a last note isn't xda about enlightenment and education to the users? .

Perhaps you presented your inquiries in a slanderous manner, based on your approach this time around Id bet that that was the case. Xda is a developers community and without proof or first addressing the developer, attacking them is really no way to initially present yourself.

Well, what exactly occurred? I know you explained it once but some of the mods have a rather cavalier attitude and it sounds as though it's be suitable for this section.

Closed
Please contact via PM to the Moderator who apparently deleted your thread, sure there will be a reason.

nerogold, you currently have 2 threads, one in off-topic and one in the thunderbold section.
I can't see that either of these were ever deleted.

Forum clean up?

Seems like the general section is filled with too many questions which should be in the Q & A and topics about accessories which also has its own section. Most the other sections on XDA I have been a part of had been stricter on this and moved a lot of threads to the appropriate sections which helped clean up the clutter.
The forum clean up helps users who want to avoid these topics and also users who want to do a search within the appropriate area. Its better for everyone.

If you want to avoid certain discussions...then don't click on them just to complain as you have. While you may feel this forum is cluttered some as opposed to the developer forums...others like myself don't. This isn't a place where people have to be a hard ass...it's the general section...not the developers section...and calling out the mods to move or merge topics just because you don't happen to like them is what gives this forum a bad reputation...

Hows it give the forum a bad reputation? Things like this drive others away and make it harder to navigate and do searches. I dont click on stuff I dont want to read. Every other XDA forum I have been a part of has been really good on putting things in the right sections or mods helped clean them up by moving them to the appropiate section. Why should this phones forum be so different? If your arguement was valid there wouldnt be sub sections for these topics.

Use the report option. If a thread is in the wrong section or a duplicate thread report that a mod close it or move it.

Looks like it's been deleted.
Forum search engine points to the same error message when looking for No7102 missing thread.
And I posted a few messages in that thread... my post count has been decreased since it disappeared ...

WTF, my question also? Why would it get deleted? Mods - explain!
I thought maybe a new N7102 group got started, but don't see it.

It was deleted in error. In future can you report things like this via PM to moderators please as we (Samsung International Phone's Moderation Team) have only 4 active members to cover the hole of none US Samsung phones so we don't tend to browse specific forums for questions aimed at moderators.
Also I do not particularly like the tone of some of the posts here, it comes across very demanding like "Mods, you explain this NAOOO!!!". I think you'll find one of the forum rules is never post in a demanding self-entitled manner.
Lastly, questions go in the Q&A forum.
Thread closed.

Change "Min.10 posts policy"

Hi
I am a junior member of XDA but I have a good experience of flashing ROMs. But the problem is that I cannot post any review/reply about that ROM due to this policy by which you should have minimum 10 posts. I understand that development-purpose threads are for developers but this policy restricts us to do any sort of development-related discussion even if we are capable of doing so. So I would request XDA to please remove the policy. Thanks.

Oh great. Another one of these threads...
It's only 10 posts. It's NOT 50, 100 or anything. It's ONLY 10. You're already half way there so go and help some people in your devices Q&A section to get your other 5 posts.
If your excuse is going to be that you haven't got the knowledge to help people out, then you have no need to post in development.
In fact, I pretty much guarantee you'll have nothing relevant to post in a development thread anyway.

No full-form.
XDA was a HTC device back in the PDA days, and that device was responsible for the birth of this site. More Info.

If you can contact an administrator or senior mod, they may be able to help lift your restrictions. But you have to be able to convince them that you are knowledgeable. This is not guaranteed. Easiest thing to do is to hang out in the General Forums and help other new members so as to attain your 10 posts.
I'm personally tired of threads like these. Funny, I don't see anyone anywhere complaining about lifes rules. What's the difference here? Everyone here had to adhere to this rule, why should you or anyone else be any different? I just don't get it...

Ohh!!

Well, removing isn't really an option, that would allow idiots to spam noob questions after 1 day.
But I've been here since mid 2011, been reading a lot, just not posting anything.
And I still have to meet the 10 posts rule. Maybe it's an idea to have either 10 posts, or being on the forum for a certain amount of time and have an x amount of pageviews or something.
Nonetheless, rules are rules, and rules are not to be broken :good:

For all you 10 post whiners in this thread, have a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166989
A thread created by a new member. 4 of his 5 posts are uuseless threads ffor which answers can be easily found by a bit of searching, what would happen now if this Guy was let loose in the development forum? I am not saying that all of you are like this. I have also seen some members whose first post was an extremely informative thread, but that's at a minority. Rules are rules and they are there for a reason, i realized this after staying on xda for more than 1.5yrs

I appreciate your optimism and generally good attitude. However, juniors who don't read the rules and have a general disregard for the organization and structure of this community are a detriment. They create extra work for moderators who volunteer their time and make finding information substantially more difficult for users of the site.
If memory serves me well, one of the rules is not to ask for development or etas, though it's been a while since I've peeked at them. Another is certainly posting in the correct forum - which this is not.
I'm going to be blunt, I don't think junior members should be allowed to post in the development sections. Moderators should have the ability to upgrade to a regular member at any time if they see a junior acting accordingly. Likewise, if you post in wrong sections and then abandon the section without reporting your post to a moderator to be closed along with an apology, you should be demoted to a junior for some time. This would prevent a cluttered mess to have to sift through.
It's bad enough we have a severe lack of development due to exclusivity and bootloader issues without the added stress of clutter. I'm not hating on the Op but it sure is disrespectful and I'm sure most will agree with me that it isn't appreciated or beneficial by anyone.

Whoa let's not turn this into a mod hating thread man. I completely agree with the both of you though. It can definitely get frustrating though. I was just saying to the other guy that said the op needs yo learn how to read. I just that part was uncalled for.

2nd.... noobs, juniors, seniors or moderators we are all on a learning curve and should respect all with patience. Everyone has asked a dumb question, a question that might have already been answered etc. I have and I can only assume all the moderators and or senior members have done the same. gentle reminder rather than coming down on members should be at hand. chill...... this should be an enjoyable situation for all....

this forum is a disaster and not because of misplaced posts, in fact, just the opposite. we have 12 ****ing mods for this forum, 12.
that's prolly more than peeps posting in here. and they are the ones that **** up the forum moving threads around almost willy nilly.
i ask what peeps are using their qbutton for in the gen forum, that thread got moved to help. umm wtf.
get rid of 11 of the 12 mods and teach the one remaining about which threads go where.

Also, many topics are directed to the big "discuss" thread. (the one that was started before this forum even existed, with a ton of useless junk) Why make people go through that? It's convenient to only read threads of interest...
And why mess with threads that have been dead for days?

No, they are directed to be posted in general or Q&A. That's not difficult at all. This post has no place in the development section, period. It's not hard to read the rules and post in proper sections.
This isn't a debate, this is in the wrong section. Development goes in development. Questions in Q&A. Accessories in accessories. Everything else falls in general.

I'm referring to the five recently locked topics in the general section... So, if not many, certainly more than a few.

Didn't see those until you mentioned it. That seems ridiculous to me too. In fact I've never seen something like that done in other phone forums. I can imagine it being done for duplicate threads but forcing us to use s single thread seems ridiculous.

First OP Thread Closed & Moved out of the Development Section I will ask you to read the Forum Rules on Posting.
The Moderation Team is made of volunteers and they are Members just like you, if you see threads and or posts out of place...report them, vice posting in this manner.
The Moderation Team can not be in all threads,...again if you find threads that need addressing report it, we rely on Members to point out issues/violations.
Thank You.
