I've closed the thread and removed the link to your Youtube video as a random self-promotion link that's not complying with the last bullet of rule no. 5 of the XDA Forum Rules, to which you agreed to adhere when you registered six years ago.
Generally, we don't mind video clips as long as they support the content of a thread or post and provide additional information. Therefor, please advise the moderators team (best via the report function) to re-open the thread when ready to add a thorough description or synopsis of the video. Members should already be able to retrieve the essential information from the post without a requirement to visit Youtube. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hi, I'm looking for a modding community for op5t, do you know some big telegram or discord group?
@rmroot THREAD CLOSED!
Please refer to rule no. 5 of the XDA Forum Rules. We only grant developers the privilege to post links to their social media in the OP of their own development threads. These conditions don't apply to you or your thread.
Stay safe and stay healthy!

I AM BULIDING A DISCORD MOD EXTENDED PIXEL EXPEREINCED 12.I AND I NEED TESTERS ON DISCORD Mod Edit: Link Removed
FOR TESTING
THREAD LOCKED
@zuhaibsarwar Just a few weeks ago, my esteemed colleague @Oswald Boelcke closed this thread of yours for the reasons stated by him in his closure announcement in your thread. Despite that, you created this very similar thread, ignoring the message he left.
This thread is also being closed for the same reasons your earlier thread I linked above was closed. I suggest you read the closure notice in that thread very carefully and keep the Forum Rules in mind before posting going forward, as further violations may lead to harsher consequences.
We're more than happy if you look for testers on XDA, but please don't direct traffic away from XDA to other platforms, such as Telegram, Discord, etc.
Thanks for your time!

Just saw a post that was closed for violating Rule 6 on XDA:
6. Do not post or request warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit members to request, post, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained or used. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community.
In order to better understand and comply with rules of this forum, I would like to know in the larger interest of the community, how is the app referenced in the post linked above different from Vanced and all of its variations, which are probably one of the most downloaded apps in this forum?
1. Can mods/ staff make exceptions at their discretion?
2. Can subjectivity override written rules?
Thank you.
Please note that I'm personally against any form of tampering with original software that deprives the creator of their rightful income.
1. I always buy the Pro version (or in-app purchase) of apps that I like and use regularly.
2. I have two YouTube subscriptions, and yet I used Vanced/ Revanced because of the features they bring in (such as swipe gestures).
@TheMystic The XDA forum staff follows the internal policies of the private website - if required after an internal discussion. I'd be grateful for your understanding that the XDA staff doesn't make internal policies publicly available. The knowledge about the publicly posted XDA Forum Rules is sufficient to be able to comply with them as 99% of the XDA members daily prove.
If you're interested to learn more about internal policies and procedure, I suggest to apply as a forum moderator. The knowledge would be shared with you once accepted.
Generally, every member who was affected by a moderator action (like the closure of a thread) has the possibility to privately contact the respective moderator for further information like you personally did in the past.

I'm sure they are not/ shouldn't be in conflict with rules laid down for the forum posts.

I may consider it in future when I'm ready for it. Thank you.

Sure. This post isn't about the referenced post in particular (or its closure), but more so for general understanding of why one app is considered Warez, while another isn't if it has many of the same properties.

Be assured they aren't in conflict.
