I support the mods and I do agree that this forum has been a mess since the 24th. However, I do not support what stericson has been doing. Dude has been abusing his power and I'm not down with people who try to flex their e-muscles out of frustration. XDA staff should be a little more professional and not let their emotions take over their position. I haven't been posting much in this forum because I'm afraid to get banned over something dumb. XDA members shouldn't have to walk on eggshells because there's a loose cannon in the XDA staff.

That is all...have a nice day. :D

I think he just wants to be the center of attention..

Stericson's dream:

"I believe In a perfect xda world, I want users and developers alike, ask me before they post. I want to be in the loop before anyone else,I want to ban anyone for giving thanks (as that's off topic) I want anyone using a different phone (sensation) to stay the **** off my turf. I want to be able to walk on water... And you shall bow to me...."

Has anyone successfully ran the temp root? I am not an expert on adb and seemed to push the file successfully but I am not sure that the change permission went through. Should I get a message saying it worked?

Sir this is off topic... We are sladering a mod and you come in here with a question involving root?

Please stop swinging off stericsons sac Tarzan.

Ill be waiting to see one of your not so funny "o you mad" pics. I have stayed out of this for the most part, whatever I need to say has already been said. Peeps aren't mad about the cleaning up, they're mad because he was going over the top with his bragging and "TEST ME" posts. So until you have something useful to say, please stop with your mall cop Paul Blart comments.

[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
So its ok to bash the mod and not ok for me to stick up for him and what I believe is not over the top.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
the bashing does need to stop. i think everything has pretty much been said.
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
Well who f@#ckin asked him to be mod? Don't accept a job then cry later about how hard it is. He asked or volunteered for the job so don't give us that BS. Nobody said the job was easy & granted some people don't make it any easier by posting BS where it doesn't belong but being a mod also means making good decisions. Decisions that are good for the site & the people who use it. Not what makes your job easier! Which is why we are looking in the Sensation forum instead of our own forum.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Please go check my posts and show me where I bashed him. I told you I have talked to him. He personally told me he did get a little crazy and he knows that and apologized to me. I apologized also, as a grown man should. I hold no hard feelings at him whatsoever. But you don't see that, you're not sticking up for him, seems like you are trying to get your own mod position to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
I agree Fernando. That's why I have stayed out of this. Everyone knows what's going on, and frankly its becoming the daily fodder for xda users in general.

The amount of panty-wringing in this thread leads me to believe that some of you guys (and gals) are taking this way too seriously. It's a little drama on a message board. Move on and enjoy your 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
With a community the size of xda, moderating can only get you so far...rather than banning people there should have been a post mandatory for people who were posting in the dev forum to read before posting, because sadly his warnings got pushed down due to the sheer amount of posts and not very many people actually read them. Innocent lives were lost :(
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
I understand that. Don't make it sound like permanent ban though, one day.

Btw, may I get that invite you offered? :)

He got sick of deleting the same bs spam over and over and I don't blame him, frankly I was sick of them too. When you have to look through, literally, +100 posts just to find two with any good information its beyond ridiculous. Some of us have don't have the time to be wasting like that.

Funny how many of the people complaining about a mod cleaning house are the same ones who were complaining about the trolling being out of control.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Thank you for your input!
[HTC EVO 3D] diestarbucks:
I just came over from the Epic, a phone I loved and still have, I thought often times the Epic forums were filled with younger people and childish comments, but after being around here for a couple of days I think I found that here is where a lot of the younger ones have been lurking. I am very much enjoying the Evo3D and I appreciate all the work the developers here are doing to try to make our phones a better experience. It's not life or death, relax and enjoy your piece of electronics and be thankful.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
i support him. he was a trailblazer on xda
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Haus, with all due respect, I don't think people are pissed because he cleaned house, they're pissed because of how he went about it. Anyway, thank you for all your work and what you have dine for the community.
[HTC EVO 3D] joemm:
Everyone in the sensation forums thank you..........:D
[HTC EVO 3D] selders59:
I agree with you 12MaNy, things like this have started people and devs leaving other sites like you and I use to both be part of. There has been a number of sitea that have lost members because of someone abusing their power. There is the right way to do something and the wrong way, and by bragging about what you had done is definitely the wrong way. After all part of this community is to have the right to ask questions no matter how stupid anyone else thinks they are. With out questions and general comradery we would all probably still be using flip phones.

"Hell I don't know anymore"
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Keep your questions to when a product is released. Till then dev related talk should consist if Devs. If you have good info or are questioning the root process , then I don't see anything wrong with that.
[HTC EVO 3D] cemzie:
Just wish i could tke the whole EVO community and move it over to the 3d. Never bs drama over there, just dev and good times! lol
[HTC EVO 3D] JoshuaAlba:
When you go on XDA, you definitly have time.

Anyways, I think he might've been a little harsh closing some threads, but it got out of control with people started posting random **** in sections it didn't belong in, or 10 pages of the same questions when there is a search feature, or another 10 pages of "I sent you a PM"

Anyways, Stericson does a good job being a mod. So get off his case, blame the rookies.
[HTC EVO 3D] beyond882001:
Thank you for the tip Op
[HTC EVO 3D] DowntownRDB:
+1, couldn't agree more with your statement about a right way and a wrong way of doing things. Bragging about what he did shows he is on a "Power Trip" and is simply wrong. Sometimes people abuse their powers and need to be held accountable. This is equivocably one of those times. /end rant
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
He was not bragging, he was making an example of people and letting everyone know he is not joking.
[HTC EVO 3D] jayharper08:
Its not making an example when you go on twitter to brag nova. What does twitter have to do with xda forums?
[HTC EVO 3D] user7618:
Just so you guys who are complaining know, you're still within your 30 days. No one is making you stay here.

You have a choice in front of you now. Either suck it up and deal with what happened or ragequit and go talk to Sprint. Right or wrong is not for me to decide, that's the admins job, but multiple threads on how much Stericson sucks isn't going to solve anything. What's done is done, and the ball is in our court now.

[HTC EVO 3D] djdisturbed:
IMHO I feel that the mod is only half to blame, I also blame the people who would bash, bash, bash, then bash some more the people who posted things in the wrong area. Its ok to let the person know they posted in the wrong area, but how people were doing it on here was just out of hand. and those people were also the people who were prob reporting EVERY OTEHR POST that others made as not it right area or a violation or some sort. If people would have acted civilized in the first place, one person answer the person's question then let them know it was posted in the wrong place and let the thread die instead of 369 more people coming in and saying "YOU IDIOT YOU POSTED IN THE WRONG AREA YOU F-ING NOOB PLZ DIE" things would not have gotten as bad as it did and this mod would prob have not gone on his power trip. Yes there were some things going on (like whole threads that turned into 2 or 3 people bashing and talking **** to eachother) that should have been delt with, but there were other things got got handled WAY TO HARSHLY

I agree with keeping stuff on topic, but when it comes to dev support, I'd allow for coming soon threads to be opened (as long as they had it posted within 24 hours of creating the thread). I'll leave the moderation to xda though, it's their boards and we agreed to the ToS when signing up.

as soon as the evo 3 d is fully rooted this stuff will end. people are bored
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
Honestly I really don't agree of the way he handled the who saga bout banning for simple ****, talking **** about #teamwin and bragging **** on twitter.

the writing is on the wall for this mod.fron what happened, with him being around, the dev section will never be the same . I'm sure the admins at xda will handle this situation as they see fit. End of story.

Yeah his tweets are pretty ignorant about it all . And I guess he got a "complaint" about someone. Who quoted the bible and has a "christian" signature .. banned!

Guy seems like a tool now that I read more into it...

I watched that thread when he first starting "making a example" out of the "spammers" and kept refreshing the page just to see what kind of rude "im god bow down or be banned" comments...

After a few more I sent a email to a admin..

He even had the audacity to say "i have tons of thank you emails from members of xda"

Well I have a ton of thank you letter from real life **** I did.. including a lot of "certificate of achievements"

Does that mean I walk around hitting people on the head with a hammer that has encrusted jewels that say "BANHAMMER"

No I don't

Guy needs to be knocked down a peg or 5.

I personally hope teamwin doesn't come back till he formally apologizes to them and the people he commented on

I understand why he banned people for a day.. but then to comment and belittle them after the fact...

I know I know i just keep fueling the fire.. but I don't think anything will be done about it. So ranting is the best way to release built up anger..

So is this the reason I can't find any info on fre3vo and have no idea on how to get temp root or anything? There all in the Sensatiin area? Ever since I left my evo4g i felt that xda was becoming less and less friendly.

If you don't have an Evo 3D, well you don't have an Evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] madsquabbles:
yeah, like locking dev threads, GOING OUT OF TOWN and unavailable for unlocking???

there's a right way and wrong way to mod. a shotgun to kill a fly is not the correct way. if this is the typical way a mod reacts to clutter in a thread then the entire xda would be shut down and have only a couple hundred posts.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ophois:
For all we know the mod is a sensation owner and knew that they'd go over there-hence why he did what he did. /tinfoilhat

Not all blame belongs to him though, He DID repeatedly say "Dev related discussion only" Yet people kept posting off-topic stuff. /shrug
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
You all need to just shut up already.

Your opinions do not matter. It's the admin and the Devs.

Ignorance

Except that he is not always available. Locking the thread at its inception was certainly not the right solution. The correct solution would be to deal with the ignorant posters on an as needed basis. I do realize that would have been upwards of 500 1 day bans in the WIP thread.

The veterans are whining too, and I don't blame them, but going after the mod who made a decision to put a stop to it in a rather extreme way doesn't do anything to solve the problem either. Now my count may be slightly off, but we had a thread with 1500+ responses and of those 1500+, maybe 50 () of them were useful. I quit trying to keep up when it shot from nearly 100 pages to 150 or so in a day. I don't care who you are, you had better recognize that reaching an estimated 0.033% of a stated goal is a failure. It is exceptionally difficult to extract any useful info from that thread unless you've followed it religiously, not to mention the extra load on the mod to try and keep it manageable when clearly it is now useless to most.

With that said, while not making any attempt to solve the ignorance problem, I would like to propose a couple of workarounds and see if there is any interest.

1st, require "Senior Member" status to post in a development thread (this excludes me as well but I can certainly PM somebody if I have something useful to add) and maybe even bump the post requirements to like 250 or maybe fudge the status with a "Thanks" requirement.

2nd, if step one doesn't at very least reduce the problem, then maybe add a filtered view and a development check-box in the compose window (off by default), again with an even higher post/thanks requirement.

3rd, no warnings, instant 1-day ban in development threads, or maybe thread can be locked only to the offending user or something. I know that option one can take effect immediately.

Now, with either of those first two suggestions and the second option for 3, I don't know the software to know if those are possible, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Hope it helps, maybe it doesn't, but there is my opinion (probably still not in the correct forum but at this point what is one more display of ignorance?).

So, obviously this thread is closed :) With that being said, I'm not going to delete it, but it will die with this post.

I did what I did to take control of the EVO 3D forum that was, imo, out of control. The sheer amount of posts that were completely unrelated to dev work was insane. I spent the entire week working to keep the threads clean quietly in the background. Each day I did so it got worse and worse and I eventually had to take more drastic steps to get things under control.

As a senior mod, I am responsible for maintaining and working with the entire XDA forums, this includes the sensation forums btw :)

What you were calling "bragging" was not bragging. I think I even apologized on Twitter for what many have seen as a harsh reaction to an ugly situation. The only time I mentioned banning people is when I was asked about what happened.

As for the comments I left about banning people, that was done to set an example to others that I was serious about what I had already warned about, not to "brag".

I am sure that there will be continued debate even after this post about whether or not my actions were too extreme. The fact of the matter is that I made a decision to try and solve the problems that were in the Dev forums. In my opinion, the dev forum is a lot better off now...I have people who are thankful, people that are on the ropes about my actions, and those that are against my actions....but that's all over.

I will recognize that my actions were very sudden and harsh, in my opinion they were needed and got the job done. There may have been a better way to handle the situation...heck there's probably a million different ways I could have handled it, I chose one way and I have learned things from this experience, things to do differently next time if the situation reoccurs.

I also want to point out that the issue with the signature that was mentioned earlier in this thread is a totally different issue that happened, separate from this sub forum and I did not have anything to do with that "event".

I honestly hope that yall are done with this now...really there are better things to do in life than to cry over a mod's actions in a forum on the internet :)

well i was trying to load yoshi ginger on my mytouch 3g 1.2 and i flashed the kernel it said i needed . but when the rom loaded up for the first time, it wouldn't detect my wifi so i could go thru google setup. and I don't have a data plan. so i tried to take yoshi off and try cyanogen 6.1 rc 1, and now my phone gets stuck on the cyanogen screen. tried wiping and reflashing and re wiping and i dunno. and the worst part is it completely wiped everything off my SIM card. my sim wont even work in any other phone now i dunno wtf happened. any ideas? can anyone please help me out. stuck in a real ****ty spot right now and any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bob461357:
can anyone point me in the direction of how to get my kernel back to the original?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Wipe boot and your kernel will be gone... you said you wiped and flashed a new rom so your kernel was replaced wit the cm one. Maybe you should try cm6.1 stable
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bob461357:
i'm using the clockwork recovery and I've tried data wipe, dashkiv wipe, and then install cm 6.1 stable and it kept getting stuck at the cyanogen boot screen. now the phone is getting stuck at a black screen after the green mytouch screen, or its powering off, not sure which. any ideas about why my sim was destroyed? all numbers on it have been erased and i put it in another fone and it wont even let me make a call. and it's a gophone sim card, i don't have a contract, so i dont think i can take it to at&t to get them to replace it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tvall:
Never heard of anyone killing a sim... nothing related to rom flashing touches it. You'll probably need to get it replaced somehow.

Also can you get any other roms to boot?
