What did Mr. Clown do over at Moto forums?

Just posted on the Moto forums..............Head over there and moderate Mr. Clown, you don't need fight club..........you bring a different kind of pain!

Re: When is the next firmware update to gingerbread 2.3. We love clowns!
@bandityo
I think Mark was referring to quoting "actions and rumors" from "other" sources. Most everyone knows where those sources are...
We were just talking about the "circus".... Which has been happening "somewhere" else....
Edit: My reply quote ain't working..."

Not sure Mr. Clown really understands the rules of Fight Club.

funny.
i was wondering why they were suddenly referring to clowns over there. Also interesting to see the mod over there actually referring to him.

It was a joke.

When is the next firmware update to gingerbread 2.3. Let's try to stay on topic, and have fun. Agree with Eagle328,
I however can only imagine the tolerance of Mark and the other moderators is immense....
Mr. Clown would have closed this one down a l-o-n-g time ago.....

And I agree with it.
Mark on the Moto forum let that thread go for a long time... even with all the BS that was posted in it.
Mr. Clown would have most likely shut it down sooner as it really did get ugly for a while there.

if it makes you feel any worse i didn't get your post in the first place, humorously or seriously

I don't get your humour either, I would ban you in the first post for calling a forum moderator or member as clown. You should be glad that he let you talk. Mark is trying help moto owners globally and officialy. That is not easy, is it ?

Considering the first post was a quote from the Moto forums, I don't see where your ban comment is relevant! I never referred to anyone as a clown. I referred to Mr. Clown!
I should be glad who exactly let me talk?
Considering I spend a lot of time in the Moto forums, I think I know exactly what Mark does. We do in fact go back and forth with emails on more topics than the Atrix and Motorola forums.
Post away. I'm not going to feed the trolls anymore!

That was funny cause trolls are from your generation, not mine. You were an official troll of xda atrix forums the last time. That didn't change.

In my mind, all kinds of props were sent in Mr. Clowns direction. This thread is a boast to that, as I see it, particularly with the latter info shared.
Thanks for that. I'll go see what they are talking about and throw my props, too.

Don't let anyone fool you. Internet trolls didn't start with a specific generation. Internet trolls were born along side wide spread access to the internet and the anonymity that inherently comes with it. People of all ages, whether 10 or 50 years old, are trolls.

I like this thread too.
rjohnstone, could you do us a favor and think before you post? If that's too much to ask, lurking might solve the problem as well.

Everyone grow up...this thread needs to be closed NOW....im tired of all the politics being carried over here by noobs. These type of threads are immature at best... after this..i don't think there is any need to continue posting in this thread...
cheers

This new kind of motorola fan wannabies surprisingly started to own motos eventhough they hated moto. (is that cause of raw power of new motos ? maybe ) Now that i see some of these people as trying to refer themselves as real motofans. We are no new in this town, kid. I really wish they would start using their nokias, samsungs or other sh*ts and quit lurking around in moto forums forever.
There was no hate amongst us until this new generation of moto owners arrived and trying to lecture people without knowing a sh*t about motos. Funny and sad.
CaelanT, ask urself why your posts always fail. When you find the answer deep in your mind, come back and don't repeat your epic fail threads like this one.

I also started a donation thread with the intention of getting enough money for the devs to get a few extra laptop docks to help spur their development (and interest) on that.... not much action. :-/

A nice post to pat yourselves on the back, I'm sure it would mean more if the devs actually put this thread out.

Actually not trying to blow my own wanker just boost dev morale and give us something fun to do....your one of the reasons xda sucks..you just killed the integrity of my thread with that bs...really guy? .your nothing more than a hater...freaking thread isn't for me its for the devs to look and see that people have their backs and hopefully encourage them to stay on board... its just a place for us non-devs to contribute...I respect the work and I wanna give back...so if you donated cool, post something....if you don't wanna post but you donated even cooler....and finally if your just here to throw salt thanks but no thanks this thread is seasoned enough!

The haters are clearly missing the point of this thread. My guess is that none of them have donated, so they don't want to feel insecure about others donating.
I've seen threads like this serving the cause and living successfully on boards of many other devices.
Only on the Atrix forums, it turns into a smartass contest, just like all the other threads.

The neverending story....

Some of you know me, some don't. I'm more active trough PM then trough posting. But this is something that is bother me for a while and I think a lot of us.
And it can't be done trough PM, believe me, i have tried....
We all (if we are fair) know that the x10 is old mobile. And the most of us don't use a mobile longer than 2 years. So why o why read I so many post of people that are complaining about a update from a dev. Let them move on and give new dev's a chance
My personal top 3 irritations!!!!!
1) if you can't do it yourself, be grateful for everything they do for us and don't complain!!!
2) if we (the users) get a new mobile, how many people still stick to the x10 treads? So why expect a lot of people that the dev's must stick to the X10 forum and development further!!!
3) if a dev don't post for a while, don't post non related post in a DEVELOPMENT TREAD and complain about a update!!!
I have talk with a lot of members trough a personal message and told them about the post they have placed. But I think its a neverending story.
I think when the Mods are more harsher and give quicker a warning and ban people, then maybe people think twice what they post. I know that the mods help xda in their spare time and do all they can. But when you make a couple statements, the word get spread and maybe maybe this will work!
thanks for listening to my complaint

Even though i bought a Galaxy Note, i still read the first page of the General/Dev/Q&A section of the X10 forum daily.
You are right about people complaining to developers for updates, but that's just the way it is. It doesn't have to disturb you, or anyone. Most people ignore these types of begging posts anyway.
My experience in forums showed that having strict moderation won't do a thing. It will only lead to more drama. I know you feel you have to do something about this, but believe me its better if you relax and don't do anything at all. The mods know their job and doing the best they can. Talking to individuals via PM's and trying to explain why they shouldn't do this and that is not only time consuming, but as you can see, it lead you being frustrated enough to start this thread.
This thread will be read by (lets say) 1000, will be replied by 10-20, some may agree, some may not. It then will crawl it's way on the bottom of the page until a similar thread pops up. (There, just saved you some time )
Bottom line is, it's the interwebz. Don't get too attached.

But he is right though

RANT AHEAD!
Unfortunately, you are right. People feel its a right they possess to get the developer to work non stop for them. Things in the x10 forums are still relatively mild though... In the atrix forum, the CM7 thread had to be closed for a period of time due to people complaining and demanding for fixes. And the "thx" posts. Here's a classic example

Hi,
This is my defense, take this thread in the X10 forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356580
I have just counted 93 posts deleted by moderators and with the warnings posted, about a dozen took vacations for ignoring the developer and moderators warning of being a Dev only thread. Just because you do not see warnings posted everywhere does not mean nothing is being done, most problems can be sorted out using the new infraction system, we use that all the time now, it is easy to use and straight to the point.
This type of thread cleaning and response is happening all the time, reported posts are dealt with much faster and if anybody needs banning, senior mods are available on gtalk to sort it out immediately.

You harsh, Nah. (I do however get the feeling it was you that closed my first thread posted here.) But having an Avatar that is a Happy Face , with a "Heidelberg Scar" doesn't really convoy a feeling of warm, fuzzy comfort to people. More like good mod / bad mod and Colossus= good mod; he even warns people in a very nice polite way. But temporarily freezing threads seems to be doing a great job of allowing the tensions to diffuse. Kudos for that.

I can assure you my knowledge of HTC's and Android is alot better than you'd think.
Just because you may know alot about 1 device does not mean you'd be a good moderator. I quote MikeChannon here.
Moderating is not about having an expert knowledge of the device, it is about encouraging members to follow (and in some cases enforcing) the rules, whilst maintaining a pleasant, supportive atmosphere within the forum.

He was just joking man, you really should hang out on IRC more.
And yes that is OTAking71 in that picture.
LOL

So, I pondered even posting but I feel that this needs to be addressed.
Since when has xda started taking nominations for moderator?
Also, I agree with Crump, and FDXRider. It's nothing personal against vicodan but, if you polled all the shift users you wouldn't be voted in, also, what has our new mod Andy even done?
He introduced himself...
That's it...
Why are people so up in arms about a moderator we haven't seen in action yet?
Lastly... The fact that a mod does or doesn't have the device is so irrelevant... Even if he had the device, would he be able to offer some new found advice on the shift??? Probably not, this isn't a shot at the mod either, as the shift community is rather intelligent.
In my experience mods are here to keep the rules in check and make sure our section is orderly. If he isn't/wasn't doing this I could see where you are coming from with switching mods, but, again, he hasn't done anything other than listen to vicodan complain that he isn't the mod...
Welcome to the shift section again Andy! Good to have you as a mod!
Edit: I also want to ask this... If the device that andy uses has/had a fully functional ROM, mod, etc. that could be ported to the shift and he offered to help port, would you still be opposed to him not owning a shift? I certainly wouldn't...

I've seen a lot of bashing on xda about the mods. We are all human and all have ways of dealing with things. But I agree that a moderator should have a good understanding of the rules and enforce if need be. One rule I've seen go out the door on xda is enforcing the GPL on kernels. Most of the mods don't enforce this and after speaking to the GNU/GPL webmaster about this he is quite disappointed in how online websites don't value GPL anymore as much as they use to. If you distrubite a rom, of course it has a kernel in it. Even if it's not your kernel you are required to post a kernel source link to the kernel source because you are distrubing that kernel binary. Look at how many threads there are that don't have kernel source links.

Why forumer become rude nowdays>>

I just wondering why our nexus community becoming such rude to each other..
I just read 2 thread which is Matr1x kernel and AdamG AOSP..
It is so annoying reading post that asking MK when will release JB kernel and asking thalamus to add vodoo smartass bla bla to his kernel..
Dont they realize that our dev just do the kernel, ROM , mod just as hobby??
Why have to ask repetitively for ETA for this and this??ironically the question already answered few previous post..
Eventhough you have donate 100000USD to dev..It is a donate..Not a paid, salary so whatever..So..

Users should be able to mark posts as spam like on youtube and if it gets two or three times marked as spam it should be deleted. Keeping the dev forum clean would not only make things easier for devs, but also for us, if there were no ETA questions and feature requests or other spam (don't post NICE ROM DOOD, AWSUM!!! but instead use the thanks button) it'd be much easier for us to find out the ROMs bugs etc.
A note to the devs: I know I can't request anything, but keeping Post #1 up to date and include as much relevant information as possible might help keeping your thread clean but that's just a suggestion and many of you do it anyways

Here! Here! Hope people read and take into consideration the implications of this post. We (non-devs) are very fortunate to have these very talented people donate their time and hard work for our enjoyment.

It just seems, at least to me, people just expect things to be handed to them and they feel that they are somehow owed something. I don't know the average age of the members here, but it may also have to do with that. I'm not giving them a free pass, but I've become kinda bitter when I see stuff like this because I've been using forums since middle school. I was that way once, but come on. How hard is it to read the OP?

Apparently this is the average member in the NS forums.

Not everyone..

1.okay..asking noob question nevermind..because everyone noob at first..as long asking at correct section..
2.asking ETA or adding mod even already been answeres by dev seem impolite for me..
Just my opinion..

Just like real life people are jackasses. No explanation they are assholes. Maybe its genetic. I never encountered the mass of genetic assholes until I got on the nexus s forums. People are assholes and d*cks f*ck assholes.

To be honest. More and more users of xda is joining xda. (I've been flamed by NetChip, so i responded) Once they join, they didn't look into forum rules, didn't look into the Terms, and didn't look for Developers respects. So, you tell me. Do you know why devs went to their own forums or Rootzwiki? Remember what andyharney said before in Legolas's Thread?

So...adamG leaves us...what now?

Forums for Nexus S get closed, the phones are useless, just paperweights and we all have to get a new one. Probably an iPhone, because we're unworthy of Android. Seriously, what's the point of all the whining?! Life goes on, and so does developement. Is this the first time you've seen such things happen on xda?!

He said he will release another JB rom once he is satisfied with it, which I'm cool with. The knuckleheads that kept asking the same thing over and over again didn't help either. You see it all over the place here. The answer half the time is in the op or a few pages back. But a site this popular will have many more people like that, so sadly it seems unavoidable.

I just wondering why our nexus community becoming such rude to each other..
I just read 2 thread which is Matr1x kernel and AdamG AOSP..
It is so annoying reading post that asking MK when will release JB kernel and asking thalamus to add vodoo smartass bla bla to his kernel..
Dont they realize that our dev just do the kernel, ROM , mod just as hobby??
Why have to ask repetitively for ETA for this and this??ironically the question already answered few previous post..

Its the cycle... as a device gets older, it becomes cheaper. When it's cheaper, younger ppl can afford it. Younger ppl aren't as mature as older ppl (usually), and when they become part of the community, they bring a lot of young ppl problems.

Im okay if developers move on because of changing handphone..thats okay..such as netarchy, miui german team, steve garon ezekeel and other..thats alright..
But how about developers goes away from.xda because of forumers attitude?
Report bug without description and log in development section?
Asking ETA with trolling style?
Bump his/her own post?
How about that..?
Xda already give general sectio and Q&A section..why bother disturb development section with non development post?

All those examples suck, yes. Why do you think the 10-post-minimum was added? But to prevent it completely, you'd need a mod cleaning the threads continuously, that would be a boring fulltime-job. As for the attitudes: It takes two to tango... ^^

I agree with this post. Its like all of the members that left us for a Galaxy Nexus recently passed down or sold their Nexus S to a breed of idiots. It has never been this bad.

Guys, you can do your bit to rid the site of these idiots. The "Report Post" button has been around xda for ages, yet 99.99% of you don't use it.
Yet your the first to complain when a moderator doesn't see it.
I have a life out of xda, as do you guys. So I'm gonna miss some posts. So if you see something ****, hit report. Users Warned/Infracted/Banned job done.
