Sorry I was just saying. I got destroyed for starting a thread in the wrong forum to boost my post count so I could ask a question in devs forum. I guess TECHNICALLY I was in wrong forum. Like this thread some senior poster will say belongs in the off topic lounge. I think.

I'm serious but not in the way you think. I whole heartedly believe censorship is wrong. However we are kind of at the mercy of whomever owns the board we are posting on. I'm all for free speech as well as tolerance. But you can only have that between individuals on a personal neutral level. You can say anything you feel and it wont offend me. The moderators on the forum in charge of censoring are a different matter. If that makes sense.

Agreed but you and I both know the name of the game and that's moolah, cash, dollar dollar bill y'all. Facebook wants to sell ads. They can't sell ads to you if your on Google+, so they don't want anyone advertising it on their site. Its kind of incredible on Facebooks part. As if banning Google+ posts will make us all forget about it. Horrible PR decision on FBs part. But I'm also a fan of chaos and mutiny. So my view may or may not be reliable.

Post counts isn't the point here also the way I see is that the more posting you have the higher the chances of you making an ass of yourself. In this case which is found to be true. I guess for the members like myself that has been here longer the June 2010 know that there is an EVO General sub forum. I believe in the saying, "It's better for people to think that you are stupid then to open your mouth and confirming it.

Surely the google+ threads are more important than this useless thread. Report the threads and mods will take care of them if they consider them inappropriate. Starting up a new useless thread ain't much help
We make an effort to condense them down to one main thread in off topic.
That said, we can't be everywhere at once, send the relevant forum moderator a PM and they will deal with the situation accordingly.
Theres also the case that people may be wishing to create a specific circle for owners of a certain device, this would be difficult if every thread was merged.

The only "tricks" I know of are by trying to get invited by someone posting something to you, and there's a script in the off-topic forum that retries your invitation URL every 5 seconds. I left that going for over 24hrs and it didn't get in.
I've pretty much given up now. I'll definitely be all over it when I do get in, but I'm not putting my life on hold and waiting for it.

I think some of the issues are that G+ comes up while talking on the forum. Then other are desperate to get an invite. I am guilty of posting in a few of them. But your right. Unless the thread is to create a circle it should be in off topic.

Welcome to the internet, where we don't care about your wealth, status, colour, or what you have done for your country.
What we do care about is respect, and you clearly have none. If I were you I would take the advice of a previous post; log off for a bit, realize that respect is given where respect is earned, and it's certainly not earned by being a **** to someone who was only trying to help you out.

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER

Help to XDA Dev " task650 " whose FIVE YEARS OLD DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED with CANCER
Here's is his (task650's) announcement :
task650 said:
I've made announcements as to why there hasn't been any updates lately in all of my threads bro. I haven't had the time due to my 5 year old daughter being diagnosed with cancer. We've recently started her treatments. There will be updates coming sometime soon. Every time I think I get a chance I end up having to deal with more important issues lately.

The reason of this post is to raise the awareness among the XDA users about the "task650" situation . I am asking YOU an XDA user or visitor to donate as much money as you can to the "task650. "
His baby girl is diagnosed with cancer and I want YOU to help her to fight this uneasy battle! The medical treatments for her sickness are very expensive and by donating even ONE dollar, YOU will help this five years old girl to win over the cancer! I am not writing this on behalf of "task650, " it is my personal initiative! Being as a member of XDA forums and Android community in general, I feel that it is my responsibility to help the people who are in need as never before.
Here is the link for donations:
Paypal donation email: [email protected]
To "task650": brother, your daughter will get better, especially when there are so many people who are praying for her! Please forgive me for my personal initiative if I offended you by any means!

I begged The_Scotsman for an Off-Topic subforum for the Epic but was told no other device has that and they were not going to start a precedent here. There is one general off-topic thread for Android and that's it. So we are stuck with off-topic posts in General. Shouldn't prevent people from helping out though.

It takes requests to head moderators to have a new forum made. There is a main off-topic forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
But I don't think you will get the exposure this needs. It is more troublesome when 10 people make new threads on "How to stop OTA notifications" rather than threads like this but that doesn't seem to irritate the same people as a single thread like this does.
Thanks for informing us of this terrible situation. Hopefully XDA as a whole can have a bigger impact on this little girl and her family, than we will ever know!

Don't post them in the first place is the easy answer. Call me crazy but when I come to the Epic General section I expect to read about general epic topics not some vote for me threads, help me with my family issues I created, or donate to me, etc. All the nonsense just drives folks away.
I am sorry, but all I see in this thread is a lot of heartless, selfish assholes.
The subject of the thread CLEARLY indicated that it is not related to your device, so guess what... DON'T OPEN IT. Real simple. Instead you come in here to *****.
I wish the best to task650 and his family.

No kidding! I understand getting frustrated by an off topic post from time to time, but when it is something like this, deal with it. XDA is supposed to be a community. I don't know about you, but in my "communities" we help others when we can. Like the Milkman said, the title was very clear. If the topic is of no interest to you, keep it moving.
Oh don't mind Digiblur, he punches homeless people in the face for asking him for food. The nerve of them interrupting him while he is walking. That is not what he started out walking for.
What the heck is wrong with you people! I bet if it was your son/daughter you'd have NO PROBLEM with this thread being here! Give the dude a break alright he is trying to help this guy, who can clearly use if nothing else some support.... people like y'all is why this country is going down the toilet and it makes me sick... but keep posting its cool... alls your doing is keeping it near the top of the first page, and for that, thanks!

it's not really the Apple bashing that gets them locked....it is when someone states a pro Apple comment, instead of replying with intellect and decency and wit, people start throwing comments like "retard" and "moron" etc thereby reducing it to personal insults, which is clearly against the rules.
If and only if, these comments stop and people grow up and air some social skills, then I think you will find that the moderators will allow a fun and enjoyable debate.
Until then it's a no-hoper. Simples.
apple jelly samsung become the top manufacturer
they should know that they only sell 1 phone which is iphone
while samsung sell a lot phone, android, WP, bada, normal phone, etc ...
Closed, these sort of threads never go anywhere good, and we are a tech site dedicated to development, with a bit of general chat thrown in, this doesn't mean that we welcome pointless and endless debate about this sort of thing.
I know apple is the hot topic at the moment, but there's the OT section etc for this sort of thing, this section is for the SGS3, not for generic samsung tosh.
