Hi All! I have the honor of being assigned here as one of your new Forum moderators. I am new to your forum and hope to get to know everyone here. If there are any issues that need addressing please feel free to PM me and I will do what I can to resolve the situation. And everything Weudel said in the post above..LOL.
Quick blurb, I have moderated private websites such as BonsaiGeek. I have put out several themes and ROMs for the Samsung Epic so understand the hard work devs do to put their work out for nothing but the joy of people enjoying their work.
I look forward to serving as your moderator.
Since it is only myself and _Arjen_ assigned here I am opening up this thread for discussion, greetings and concerns.
Hi Everybody!
Welcome aboard!
New Mod Here
Hello All
My name is Woodrube and I have been assigned to be your new moderator. If you have anything that you need, please feel free to reach out to me and I will do my best to help you out with any issues that you may have.
If I may suggest a few threads as refreshers:
Forum & Marketplace Rules
[GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - Getting started on XDA
They both are a bounty of information from top to bottom.
Glad to be here and again, if you need anything please let us know.
Hi all,
I'm your other new mod and will be here to help out with Woodrube so can only echo the above. If you need anything please feel free to get in contact as we're here to help you out with your forum.
Thanks
Be kind to the new mods everyone. Remember to be respectful to each other and post questions only in Q&A not development or general.
It has been a pleasure serving as your Friendly Neighborhood Moderator.

Hi guys,
ok, so, recently i have been browsing round the whole of the X8 forum and i think that we all need a little help.
Ok, so i am going to use bullet point everything that i think needs helping/discussing if you know what i mean .
This is NOT a guide. so here goes:
Thread redirection
So, recently, I have seen alot, and i mean ALOT of threads in the wrong sections.
So i am going to try and help you post in the correct sections
If you have a question, then obviously post it on the Q & A section,
but if you have a general question like this then it should be posted in the general section preferably.
BUT, any question related to ROM's, bugs and that kinda stuff, then post it in the Q&A section.
heres some examples: This thread belongs to the General section because it is not a question about the X8's hardware, or a question about ROM's etc its a question about your opinion (i mean, its a question about someones thoughts, who they think is the best developer, and the thread may be for fun ) and another thread that belongs in the general section is this thread.
However, threads that dont belong in the right sections usally get closed by the moderator.
So if you dont want your thread closed, try and follow the rules, by posting in correct sections.
More examples: this thread is a question about a bug (?) and he asked how to fix it. This is a question, but it was in the general section when it should be in the Q&A, and because of that, it got closed.
Well that about concludes that bullet point any questions? reply to this thread
Making threads that already exist
Yeah, most senior members kinda dread this. Now this problem usally comes from n00bs, but sometimes seniors do it.
Please guys! Use the search button! We cant stress how important this is to you. Plus, if you do keep making threads that already exist, then you have broken the XDA rules!
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Yeah, sometimes the search button doesn't work and wont come up with what your looking for, but then you have to Google it! Lets not make the same mistake over and over again eh? lets keep the X8 community SPAM free eh No more 'which ROM is best' threads. cheers guys
Are you new? or are you about to leave the community
So, are you a new member to our community? Or are you about to leave our community?
Well, before you go ahead and post a 'good bye thread', take a look at deedii's threads (thanks deedii )
Here are the links:
Deedii's 'Leaving? Post your farewell message here ' thread
Deedii's 'New Member? Introduce Yourself ' thread
thanks guys, thats kept our community alot cleaner
Trolling and/or Spamming
Ok, we all hate being trolled and our boards Spammed don't we?
Now, recently, i have had someone trolling one of my threads (mentioning no names). I didn't like it much. Now, I had a thought about this recently, and after a long time of thinking, i finally though, instead of saying bad things back, try to encourage them not to troll (good idea or not???). We all want trolls to leave, but instead of telling them to leave, try to encourage them to stay, but be a part of the good community.And spamming, try not to spam, dont post unhelpful things etc. thanks guys, hope we have no more spamming or trolling
So thats about it for now, but once i have more idea's of how to maybe improve things ( ) then i will edit this post. Thanks for your co-operation guys, i hope we become a more spam and troll free place
PLEASE NO trolling or spamming, if your gonna post, please post something constructive or/and nice. Maybe more ideas on how to improve

ok, i get your point, but it seems n00bs used to read my guides that went on forever....
And it wasn't really an idea, its just to help clear out future SPAM
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625939
That is what I'm talking about. That's one of the problems!!

Just wanted to pop in and say g'day, and thanks!
The forums are really helpful (as I found out while lurking) so I decided to sign up and see if I could contribute.
If I'm replying rather copiously, it's because I want to get to 10 posts so I can ask a question in the Dev area
Thanks! :laugh:

You are not supposed to start a new thread in development unless you are sharing your work. If you have questions, ask in the q&a section. You can still reply to an existing thread in development.

If you wanted to contribute to the forum, you should have thought about making a new thread for this kind of stupidity. Spamming the forum does not contribute in any way.

Hello. Some people on XDA have a rod shoved up somewhere where the sun don't shine. If you have questions about any thread in the dev forum, try a search of that forum, and ask if you don't find the answer. Posting frequently is alright as long as you're contributing on some level, even for the sake of discussion about a relevant topic in that specific thread. Spam is usually a bad idea
Have fun and welcome to xda!
welcome to the party! please do not create a new thread in the dev section if you're not a dev. and your questions can be asked in the Q&A section. before you ask, make sure you use the search tool thoroughly. double posting is not acceptable here, if you want to, and i highly recommend, read this article: http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263 Have a nice time here in xda!
Hi guys,
Just thought I'd post up and let you you know don't dare say anything remotely not in favor of OP or they will ban you.
I posted this thread
**** Can not link yet but the title of the thread over on on plus forum is " calling OPO out for bashing Cyanogenmod"
To open a discussion on why that forum is letting cyanogenmod get slandered, anyways they didn't like it.
That forum is a circus so no loose at all
Cheers
Sorry to hear that but I don't really see any point to this thread being on XDA

@Concept48 The thread has been moved out of the development forum since that section is only reserved for sharing one's own development work. It's clear that you're neither the developer or the maintainer of the ROM you shared, and that's why your thread didn't qualify to be in the device's development forum. Additionally, I've also added the word [SHARED] in the thread title to clarify that the ROM is not your own.

Hi Thanks for your warning , it was just a announcement not even a thread cause developer did not want to make a thread because of the difficult communication on this Network. I,m not even on Telegram and I don't give a dang about Telegram.
Developer knows I made the thread ,just because I want this development to be on XDA and not only on telegram ,. so if Developer can announce Telegram support room I can to /.
i have better things to do then make threads to get attention on your Network.
I did not have to announce this at all , then XDA would not have this development on the site..
My Channel sends thousands of people over the years to XDA so I can be seen as a XDA promotor rather a spammer that needs people from XDA to go to bloody telegram.
I will not anounce anything anymore if you start threaten me with account removal etc ..think again . I,m not here to gain members of XDA I Bring them ..and BTW I will make a video and explain in simple words what kinda sucks about XDA . We keep in touch. Best regards Puck Darlington Channel48 Yourtube.
