That was on my 65th birthday. Shouldn't be an excuse but I'd probably other things in my mind. Great that you captured it; thanks very much.
@woodman Merci beaucoup for resolving the issue.

I'd like to change my username from this to Hawk (account exists but guy hasn't logged in since 2005). If you don't want to remove that inactive account, then a change to Alexness.

XDA Rule 13 - Pling

Hello,
I have a question regarding the Pling.com if is allowed in XDA or not. According to rule XDA Rule 13 Pay-Per-Click links does not allowed, and that's true till Monday which I reported a thread for link there.
The moderator removed the thread from public view but few hours later it was back and today I got a notification that XDA is now allow Pling.com as File Host. I have nothing against the moderator but I want to be sure if it's allowed or not since I cannot find anywhere this change which XDA announces that pling.com is allowed.
Thanks.

Edit: Yes, Pling is permitted, I'm not sure we have a public thread available, but an announcement was made to the staff.

Yeap I can't see the thread but I see the title of the link which is saying enabling-pling-on-xda.

My mistake, that thread was presented to the RD's as a source of opinion.
To answer your question: Yes, Pling is an approved file host. At some point I imagine we will have a public announcement.

Hello and good morning.
From your screenshots I see that @Funk Wizard was the acting moderator. What occured was that during the handling of the first report, the decision about pling.com was still under discussion in the responsible moderators body and as such pending, although all moderators were already aware that such a discussion was ongoing.
Then the discussion was finally made yesterday and announced to all moderators; the reason why the next, new report was now handled as done by Funk.

Hello Oswald,
Yes, this is what I imagined after the clarification of V0latyle.
Nothing against the moderator Funk. I just wanted to be sure because I maintain a collection & guides thread (like this) and some ROMs / Kernels are hosted there, so I can include them.
Thanks for your time looking at this and for the detailed explanation.

I'm fully aware that you didn't complain about @Funk Wizard and I'm convinced nobody read it that way. Actually, anything different had wondered me because Funk was perfectly correct with all his action.
And affirmative, at your own discretion you can certainly now add links to pling.com to your repo's, collections or guides. We highly appreciate that you keep them up to speed.

Pling now accepted on XDA. Does that mean it's no longer considered as a Pay-Per-Click link.

Affirmative, we now accept it as a filehost on XDA. If you go to opendesktop.org payout terms & conditions it's a paid-per-download site, and we're well aware. We discussed it lengthly, under consideration of multiple aspects and feedback from our recognised developers.
