My fellow xda patrons,
If you are reading this and your first instinct is to flame, rolleyes, or quote the forum bylaws this post is directed at you.
Stfu already and go get yourself a job as a rent-a-cop. You are clogging the threads and moving them to the top of the list with your banal responses. Your failure to be relevant in real life combined with your online anonymity and ceaseless neediness is far more distracting and annoying than the noob posts that you are chomping at the bit to slam.
I recently read in the announcements section that xda has over 100 admins. They have the ability to delete threads and comments or even ban when it is necessary. Your comments do nothing but increase their workload and distract them from more important
Issues. I will completely understand if this thread itself gets deleted.
You will see that my post count is low yet I have been a very active reader for several years. The reason is that I follow the rules, read an entire thread, use the search function, and push the thanks button as my method of interaction in most cases.
Now you may say that I am guilty of what I'm accusing. You would be partially right in that assesment. However, my goal is to attract all of this type of discussion to one thread and raise awareness so the Dev forum can stay on topic.
I'm ready, let me have it. My flame suit is on as they say.

Before your flame suit starts to look like a flame-grilled burger, I'm closing this!
If anyone has any forum related issues then feel free to PM me, or any other forum mod. My sig has a link to find out who you need to contact. It's worth noting that you can also see who is assigned to what forum by looking at the bottom of the main forum page.
In the case of the Evo, we have toast, myself and josefcrist, and egzthunder1 (one of the site's admins).
Awhile back I was banned from the Motorola Forum. I had the audacity to repost a post that Fletch333 had moved to an area where I thought it wouldn't be seen by as many people. I had posted that the only way the SD card would ever work in the Xoom would be if they came here and learned how to root their Xoom and install a different kernal.
Fletch333 didn't like that.
So he sent me a note that he had moved it so I replied and wished him a hearty FU and reposted it and immediately got banned.
I post this because this morning I stopped by the Motorola Forum to see if anything new was happening and saw a post by Matt where he said people get warned several times before being banned and THAT ISN'T TRUE.
It was my first " offense " if reposting is an " offense " under the TOS.
Fletch333 hadn't even been identified as a moderator at the time to my knowlege and I was surprised to find he had been given the power to move posts and ban people.
Someone who has post priviledges at the Motorola Xoom forum might want to remind Matt that Arizona Willie was banned for a first offense without warnings.
Of course, that would probably get you banned.
Never speak truth to power.
So you broke the rules by posting something about rooting outside the unlocking part of the forum, you then re posted it and broke the rules again, and then insulted a fellow member (regardless of moderator status or not), breaking the rules for a third time and you are surprised they took action?
I don't agree with a lot of the stuff I see from mods of the Motorola forums but I have to say that's a bit more than a "first offence".

Hey, I would just say, I would reccomend that you be careful what you say as you don't want to get banned again. We need forum users, so before your banned be careful what you say. This is a device forum, not a gossip forum.

This calls out specific members on the Motorola forum, and is not allowed here. I understand everyone's fear in conspiracies, but this is not the avenue to pursue that line of thought...
Thread closed. Sorry.
Please clarify why Indirect was banned but Evil_devnull has not been banned yet?
i would like to know the same. he did nothing wrong, it was Evil_devnull that was scamming people for money and not giving the right credit
Indirect was banned!?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
Yes, inquiring minds want to know! How does one member post multiple threads requesting people's MSL for no stated reason and he's still here causing trouble but Indirect is banned?? I was asleep but isn't it true that Evil_DevNull was also using the f-word and even worse the N-Word??
MODS: Please explain.
Mods did say they were tired of our bull**** but then got called out by us saying that we all get along. i think its bull**** what the mods did in banning him cause he didn't do ****
We do not comment on the reasons why action is taken against any member either publicly or privately. All we can say is that there was a breach of our rules and the matter was dealt with.
This thread will now be closed.

Considering there is no support to anyone using CheckROM on XDA as the thread was closed. I have created this thread for people to list issues with the ROM or any themes, fixes or general ROM related problems.
I tried this once before a moment ago but it was closed by conantroutman because he is a really cool guy and obviously incredibly intelligent and knows exactly what has happened.

General discussion means anything general. I believe you have no grounds to stand on closing that thread. Prove me wrong
First of all, this "general discussion" thread is nothing more than a thinly veiled excuse for you to rant about the fact that this particular ROM is not being updated as quickly as you would like and/or because the developers have decided to focus on a newer device over the SGSII. That is their decision, deal with it.
As for the problem with checkrom.com, that's a checkrom.com issue not an XDA-Developers issue. Take it up via the proper channels. (Hint, XDA is not the proper channel)
As I said before, if you have an issue with somebody, resolve it via PM. Due to the way you have chosen to word the OP this thread would only lead to you being flamed and we wouldn't want that now would we?.
This is a development forum, not a place for gossip and idle chit chat.
These are the grounds upon which I stand, consider yourself proven wrong.
I appreciate that you're a little miffed so here's a particularly adorable kitten to cheer you up. Have a nice day.

You forgot to post this PM I also sent to you
Uppon2 = I don't need to contact anybody by PM by the way? Why would I need to do that. I am just laying out the truth in a general fashion. I think every man and his dog have sent them many PMs and requests for an explanation about their lies. Don't come along all high and mighty without reason dude.

He never responded to either of my PMs even considering that is what to do first. Instead he posted it in the thread like a hero and gave me no chance to defend myself.
I was never trying to say anything else other than GadgetCheck and Leomar hyped up an unreleased ROM encouraged people to donate and took donations only to not actually do anything they said they were going to do. They have a donate button for a reason. To encourage further development (Which was already told was happening months ago) and to also give them a pat on their backs for what they have done already. I know for a fact many users donated solely on the fact there was going to be an ICS release as soon as jkay was ready and then again in June (Both times it never happened)
Now you can close this thread again, you can ban me, mute me and do anthing your powers provide. It is just solidifying my argument about CheckROM and proving that you're a macho moderator.
I am putting money on it that this thread will be closed. THERE IS NO REASON TO CLOSE IT. I'm not taking peoples money and running. Let the public speak.
I am not trying to get unbanned from checkrom.com I don't even care, my point was to strengthen my original argument of being mislead. And proved it I did
If you had actually read everything in my original thread you would have still closed it but you wouldn't have replied the way you did mate.
Sigh.....
I'll just let the relevant forum moderator deal with this as I'm clearly wasting my time here. A legitimate general discussion thread would have been fine. Your personal grievances however, are not something we care about.

Guy. This is nothing to do with me. I didn't donate to them because I thought I was getting a new release. But a lot of other users did. If you read all of my evidence you will see me explaining this very point. I will keep the flames down this time around. I have said all I need to say. Thread is open for business (NOT FLAMING) just business. People need somewhere to ask questions. I would have asked on Checkrom.com but I am apparently banned for my kind words on XDA so I can't do that now can I
Just for your information there have already been 2 ICS ROMs made for SGS 3 http://checkrom.com/threads/gt-i9300-xxlf6-4-0-4-checkrom-evohd™-v2.822/
He's a senior mod. He did the right thing by closing the previous thread. You're out of line with the way you've 'spoken' to him. Expect the forum mods to close this one soon & consider yourself lucky if you don't get an infraction.
XDA isn't a democracy. You don't have 'rights'.

One of the worst things you can do anywhere on the internet is post PMs. They're called Private for a reason. As you were told, XDA isn't the place for this discussion. Do not reopen the issue in open forum again. Doing so will be not cooperating with a moderator, and will result in an infraction against your account.

To be fair, that wasn't a PM, just a direct copy of the previous thread...
Not that it really makes any difference.
Watchout for their telegram group admins don't accept other opinions. They discriminate don't tolerate people and will ban you for your opinions. They have no mental capacity to have reasonable discussion about broblems they have.
There's definitely some unnecessary power tripping and putting people down of those who are trying to ask questions.
However, there are also a lot of people who don't do their own research through these forums looking for simple answers that they can find on their own. And then, when people do help them, they don't even say thanks.
I think Telegram may be preferred because XDA forces people to be respectful. And yet, on XDA, we still see waste and noise brought on by people who post irrelevant replies or ask questions that could have been answered with a simple search, or reading a few pages of the thread. This is frustrating. On Telegram, people can vent a little about this, but it does make the environment toxic. Can definitely be a WTF for those with questions that are being respectful.
I just wanted to follow progress in telegram group so I was rightfully mad since I couldn't get to the group for 2days - that's ridiculous. When I did they banned me for daring to question that. And another user who supported me too. No apology not even sympathy. And after they ban users they get even lower. Admins start to spam the group with big ridiculing gifs mocking and insulting them about how they banned someone, and some of their weaker minded sheeps join them. That's disgusting. This is BTW against their own rules. They are lowest of the low I have ever seen.
Thanks for saying it out loud, their telegram community is the most useless Rom community I've seen, they won't help you with anything yet they make fun of you.
