why was warning thread about codenameandroid.com deleted - About xda-developers.com

It was not my thread. But I posted in it.
I went to follow up on the thread to see if anything had been found out about their site. And the thread has been deleted. II have searched for it and even gone back through all of my old posts. It is disappeared.
It was a thread about a guy posting that Firefox had given him a warning about the site due to malware.
I checked it with Chrome and received the same warning. Google said that they had tracked several trojans coming from the site and warned not to go there.
I can see if it was a malicious/unfounded post, but it wasn't. And Chrome is still giving the same warnings this morning.
Whoever deleted the thread should have checked it out before deleting. It is EXTREMELY irresponsible to delete a thread like this on a whim when so many people from this site probably go there too.
Why was it deleted???

It reappeared. Lol

it was pulled to due legal pressure coming from Sony... The thread is deleted but here is a copy of the last message posted...
a lot of good reading. for the record this is why you never post anything on a public site that could be against you for some reason (ie all you people that are always talking about insurance fraud they can easily pull up the pages and if they get your ip address can normally get plenty of information on ya.
I never understood the hype to this anyway.

@OP
Thread moved to Q&A. And the answer provided was right. Most devs who had put out the hacks asked us to delete the threads since Sony was indeed launching legal attacks against devs.
@mattrb
No discussions about warez or warez sites are allowed in XDA devs. Take this as your first and only warning.
@egz
it just sucks though because all I am is a victim of bad timing. If I had just downloaded it days ago then I would have been in the clear. I have been busy for the past two weeks and now I am screwed. Could you offer this file to me. Do you have it?

You just requested warez from a mod after getting a warning. Nice.
I have the file but don't know how to install it. Can anyone help with that or is that also against the rules?

Ha - good catch, so long as there is a Q&A section to post the question in....
I assume the OP may want to "post a question" in a development thread maybe about a rom he's using or a kernel or any other valid development-related question. so why flame him for not reading. I assume we are all here to learn, or am I wrong?
Pls help the guy out, if he needs help.

You are wrong. Read the rules. There is a Q&A Section for a reason. Development is for the active discussion of development related activities.

Questions are not supposed to be in development threads as weird as that sounds. Only feedback and bug reports are meant to go on those threads. If he has questions, he needs to ask in the Q&A section.
The Galaxy Ace forum has no Q&A section.

Post in general
Perhaps the device has less than 10k posts or 1k threads in general last time anyone checked?
Perhaps the device is too crap to get a Q & A, or perhaps I'm trolling? (hint - it's the first option)
Access?
I can access XDA from my computer, but I can't access it from my Phone. I've got a Samsung Captivate and I have tried clearing caches and actually uninstalling and then reinstalling the XDA app, both regular and premium and still it won't hook up. I can access the internet and google market and such, the only problem I have is connecting up with XDA. Is it me or is there an issue with the site?

Development Threads. Please keep comments in general.

A mod has had to delete a thread for maintainance and explicitly tell people not to post off topic only to have the same thing just continue one thread over in the racing build thread unless that is really 13 pages of useful information. Instead of telling to people to stay on topic and continue the trend I made this post.
Could everyone keep the dev threads to dev posts. If you have a bug make a logcat. If you want to say thanks start a single thanks thread in general, I am not sure if thats kosher but at least if the mods have a problem with such thanks thread they can just delete it without having to go through and look for actually useful posts.
Mods on this

There is a Thanks button, use it.
Do not post Woop! Or nice job! or anything else that has nothing else to do with Development or this thread will be closed. I am sick of clearing out blathering.

Bro, I have no idea what you said but I think I agree
we had to clean up a lot of useless comments in that topic which were nothing related to development at all
please keep all chatters in General
feel free to open a new topic for the specific ROM in question
but do not CLUTTER the Development topic with comments that provides no value in the development.
I feel for you guys, You post that people not to go off topic then people posting like you didnt just tell them not to go off topic.
The people even reading this post are the people who probably don't need to be told. It Sucks because the annoying posters are ruining it for those following the rules. The most I type in a dev thread is f5 sigh.

I think they should probably close the thread for a day or two which would force people to make a thread in general. The mod warnings seem to be immediately ignored

It would just be easier for us to report the people who don't follow. People forget about the report button.
The same moderator has to clean one of the threads twice already. I wish all the Dev threads were cleaned up. There's a lot of garbage in a lot of them. People posting first, second, third.....downloading now, will report later. Or thanks! Your awesome.....there's a thank button for a reason.

Its kinda hopeless right now because if you look at the threads. A mod will clean it up and put up a notice to stay on topic and literally minutes later it will go back to offtopic posts.

They keep doing it cuz no one reports the individuals. If they are never penalized for their behavior, then they will never correct it.

People are reporting them and the mods are aware. Allgamer posted on this thread that they are aware of it. It just keeps coming from different posters.

Wait, what? How does that logic work?
It is easier for us to to go through and report each post so that a moderator is forced to look over each one and decide if it should be deleted or not than it would for people to act responsible for their own crap and just not post worthless stuff in a dev thread?
Sure it might be easier for me to just report each post instead of trying to educate anyone, but now because one person is doing whatever they please I have to report them AND a moderator has to take the time to go and delete it.

Aside from the fact that people are reporting people, it just doesnt stop and keeps going faster than the 60 second between reports rule sometimes
Well, now the thread is closed. Those who made it happen by posting useless crap will probably not learn anything from it either. Sigh.
I have a quick question in regards to that RaverX thread that just closed:
For those of us that DO want to follow the rules and prefer to follow the progress of the ROM, where do we go from here? I know the ROM is on sourceforge, so I can at least see if there are updates.
Should this have just been a PM, or are there others that share this curiosity?
ICS is awesome, but a lot of n00bs I have never seen post a single comment around here started posting out of nowhere lol.
I'm going to do something productive rather than be annoyed by these n00bs. I suggest you guys do the same.
I came from the G2 forum and own a sensation also. There seem to be more inconsiderate people here than either of those forums. I for one am glad those threads got shut down.

it would be opened shortly, but should be closed for now until it is cleaned up or until raver updates the ROM. So don't think it's the end of the world.

It often helps to only post a link so that members will become more accustomed to searching the linked thread for their answer, rather than simply being given the answer which won't help you as much

I get where your coming from, but when you can see I am posting from the app, and everyone knows that the app has issues, like you can't search, or when you can search its screwy. If the mods dont know that there is an known issue with the app, and dont want to help fellow members, then they shouldn't be mods.
And yes, I am posting through my phone atm, but still cat upload. I just tried.
