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.
Title kind of says it all.
Steve should be working on it. I hope!

Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to Q&A
I don't really understand how the mods can tolerate a thread being started just to ask a novelty question....
Come on mods, get on top of your responsibilities
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

And it wasn't really an idea, its just to help clear out future SPAM

Hi guys. As you know, there are always some members bringing up posts, repeating it, discussing useless and pointless threads. However , what you can do is to kindly tell them to post what kind of threads and not just discourage them and insult them for the posts they made. Everyone surely have done that when they are new as they are very enthusiastic am I right??? So, if you see members posting useless or pointless threads again , it would be advisable to tell them off nicely or answer their question and clear their doubts . I am saying this as I felt this this was a common sight in the Forum and I experienced this before when I was a newbie. I mean, obviously you would hope that people would respond to your question right? Please kindly spread this post to gain awareness and never be rude to newbies! Teach them, guide them so that they could know more about the i9000

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
