Seems like lately the policing of the forums has gotten out of hand. I appreciate keeping reposts and wrong thread placement down to a minimum, but I feel like some of these over aggressive moderators are stifling the community. Information seems more difficult to obtain and group discussion seems to have slowed way down. I understand its difficult to keep so much info streamlined and well organized so my hats off to em, but damn, relax yo!
They love awareness threads.

Yeah it's always a good idea to take roms from the NS and NS4G section and mix them back into the same one again. Great move.

Agreed we need to overthrow the current establishment and get mods who are actually part of the community and conversations and don't just come out the woodwork to ***** and close threads and be on an all around power trip.
If we had decent leadership this would not even be an issue.

Yes Mr. AllGamer, we're talking about you. Specifically about your senseless actions with some of the development threads enforcing imaginary rules which oddly were not broken nevertheless.

If you feel that any mods have stepped out of line or done something wrong, feel free to send me (or any other Moderator Committee member) a PM with the details.

I sent email earlier today for this exact request. As you can see I am not the only one that wants this!
Edit: I will hit thanks tomorrow ran out of thanks today.
I personally like this idea but I can see how it may get out of hand. Flagging thread for mod/admin review.

I agree, I do personally think you're correct.
I do also think its a fine idea for all phone forums going forward though.

Thank you. Anything to stop our users from complaining about everything.
Posted by Mr. Z's Epic 4G.
we dont need an off topic within the epic section. we need a cage.
How many moderators do we have for the epic section? Is it just a had full of moderators for all areas of xda? Just seems like moderators are popping out of nowhere? Funny thing is haven't even heard of such people and posts are being closed left and right.

How about a Epic chit chat forum so they can throw all the threads in there....like this one.. I do not like seeing them. I want to see Epic threads.
All the vote for me...go click this..charity messages need to go. Everyone has issues whether it be physical, financial or whatever, nobodys life is perfect. If everyone decided to start a thread about their relatives sickness or some bill they got hit with this place would be 10 times the mess that it is now.
I am fine with the charity stuff in your signatures as they can be shut off.
I vote for immediate deletion of any threads that don't fall under the category named in the title of the forum - so if it isn't Epic related, it should be in another section. If it isn't smart phone related, it belongs on a completely different website.
As far as social topics, XDA has no need to compete with facebook/google+/etc...

I think some people need to learn respect it has become apparent that if anyone maybe new to xda and posts in the wrong section they are ridiculed and bashed give those people some common respect.
And refer then to the right section
And for people who post ideas about root there trying to help so see above so some respect and don't bash them for trying to help
And if you wanna bash me go ahead I don't care
I just hope people can have some humanity and respect

OP, it's "they're" not "there. Respect, this should be in the general section.
*sigh* Hypocrite
Although I understand what your are trying to say and yes some respect is do those new to XDA should take 20 seconds maybe less to read the categories when you come in to the supersonic forums and they will be able to tell where they go. Anyways we will never run out of sarcastic aholes so this will never end thats just they way it is.
This is an "ancient" phone anyway -- all the disrespectful people have moved on to the bleeding edge of newer phones. Just us appreciative late-comers here now!

I bet DC13 made a rom for that already. Pretty icons and all.
This is what happens when source isn't released and root isn't gained.
Nice.

Yeah I just switched to the Charge and I feel the same exact way. Even though the "phone" part of the fascinate sucked, the community and the development was unmatched. I always found myself flashing ROMS daily, etc on the fascinate. The Charge is just boring right now! Nothing interesting to do with it on a daily basis.
How's the thunderbolt treating you from a functionality point of view? I heard the the battery life is like 4 hrs, yikes!
Yeah battery life if horrible. 4 hours at work with low signal and 6 to 8 anywhere else. There is a few roms and kernels that get me to about 10 to 12 hours though. I started with the incredible so I missed and love sense but this Phone is bulky and heavy. The fascinate was thin and light with an awesome screen.
Almost all the great thunderbolt devs left xda including adrynaline. So sad.

Just an idea for the community. Access to post in certain forums based on thanks could really help to clean some things up. Like post only in general until 50 thanks. If you are really a helpful part of the community then 50 could be done in a few short days.

At least it was an idea. I think that if something like that was implemented people would find the thanks button real quick.

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Making a public post about it where probably 99% of the people reading it have no idea what thread you started, or what was deleted. Send a PM to a moderator, or check your PM inbox, unless of course you want to start an arbitrary thread just for the sake of *****ing.
if your thread was deleted then it probably didnt contribute anything useful or you posted it in the wrong section. threatening to not use the forums anymore is just as useless and isnt going to hurt anyone but yourself since this forum is free for everyone. like others suggested pm one of the mods responsible for the atrix forums and im sure there is a good reason why your thread was deleted, they dont just go around deleting random threads.

I don't fall into the dev worship crap. It is here or it isn't and the amount of time a dev puts into something is actually all on them. That's the nature of voluntering.

Yep. "It is here or it isn't"..... but then if Dev's just said screw it and left us high and dry with stock ROM's, he'd be *****ing about Blur, too.

No this is the Supersonic: Evo4g forums. The Evo Design 4g AKA Kingdom phone does not have its own forums on XDA. No roms here will work on design because of hardware difference

It wouldn't have turned up much. There is a guide to rooting it (and similar HTC devices) under the general Android hacking area, and in fact that thread is mostly populated by Design 4G users, but there is no dedicated forum on XDA for that device as noted above.
I seriously considered getting that phone for awhile and the lack of a big development community was the main reason I decided to stay with my trusty old EVO 4G...
