UPDATE: IF YOU HAVE AN EVO 3D, AND YOU ARE AN XDA MEMBER WONDERING WHERE ALL THE INFORMATION FOR THE FR3EVO ROOTING PROCESS IS,.....

well,

.

.

.its all over in the HTC Sensation forum,

because one of the moderators here developed a God complex.

(F#Ck THAT...)

TO ALL THE MODERATORS, BUT REALLY TO THE ONE(S) IT PERTAINS TO:

I don't care how big your Android/Linux/C++/Java/thanksmeter/Postcount di*k is, or that you have been knighted a moderator.

The most important part of Xda are the FORUMS. That where we are now, in a FORUM...(Look it up, Copypasta the definition, or build a theme around it if that's your specialty), but please don't tell an entire thread to silence itself again. It's frustrating, it's a bit humiliating, and now it's publicly embarrassing. Please don't allow this kind of abuse of power to happen again. See what can happen? Now the party has started, and the limo made the first trip without us.... So now we have to stand in line behind the folks in the Sensation Forum, and of course behind therootofallEvo site as well.

I'm a bit frustrated, and ranting, so I'll quit now.

I don't know a whole lot about Everything.

And to be sure, I definitely have lot to learn

But I know one thing:

@agraben was completely justified in taking the teamwin ball and going elsewhere first after his treatment on the forum at XDA.

I'll bet he laughed himself to sleep tonight.

Ban me, Shman me....It's whatevs now.

This needed to be said.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Let's all vote stericson the mod off the xda island!

I've messaged a admin yesterday that said he will "talk with him"

Every time I think about the way he "moderated" the dev section a small puppy dies!

Dang I didnt even know and I'm on here every night
[HTC EVO 3D] tyler.durden:
Just saw that he closed the thread because 'there was no development' going on...what a complete douche. Thanks a lot for screwing the rest of us over like that "stericson" :rolleyes:

Please take away his mod rights and give them to someone that actually has a functioning brain.
[HTC EVO 3D] bwcorvus:
So am I the only one that thinks his is doing a good job? He locked if because it isn't development. He ask the op to msg him as soon as it was ready to became a development thread. Every day 10 people starts new threads in development section, that don't belong there. He has finally started to do something about it, and all the n00bs whine...

[HTC EVO 3D] tomh1979:
that is fing pathetic that we'd have to do that thanks to a mod, i used to be a longtime highly respected supermod on the largest honda civic site (strictly civic) before moving away from that scene, never once had i treated any of my peers which such child like behavior, especially in a manor to actually have pushed a person we greatly need in our section away to somewhere else to share the knowledge we need here, for god sake we need teamwin in this section, and we need the mod's to be able to recognize when he's over stepping his boundries, maybe he's new at this, but that is no excuse to push member's away that we need.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Not a noob or a whiner but that mod is on a power trip and acting like a d*ick. I was reading the root post.....not posting and made a simple suggestion to make the thread read only except to the developers.....guess what? I got banned. LOL so screw him.
[HTC EVO 3D] NewZJ:
I support Stericson
[HTC EVO 3D] madsquabbles:
i think he does a good job ridding the stupid posts and questions, but he's gotten overzealous as of late. i hate reading reading 20 pages of "downloading now!!!" or "woohooo!!!'s" but that's just the nature of people wanting to express their excitement.

but to lock a dev thread and keep the dev out until the mod is available to unlock it is going too far. where was stericson at 1:25 AM today when agrabren made an update in the sensation thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
While I don't agree on everything that was done, the dev forum was a mess. Everyone was crying for mods to intervene and when it happens everyone complains. You never start a coming soon thread on xda. You only start one when you material is ready.

Sent from 3D land
[HTC EVO 3D] erikivy:
I think stericson was more than fair. Every other post was a question that had been asked AT LEAST 5 time in the last couple dozen pages. Most of the remaining posts were back-slapping, high-fiving, HTC-hating, BS-ing miscellaneous ramblings. Finding real information from real DEVELOPERS was frustrating and time consuming.

Stericson warned people nicely to calm down and stop posting non-development stuff, but it only helped briefly. Sub-forums exist for a reason and those kinds of posts don't belong in development. The dude was doing what he was supposed to.

And popping back and forth between a couple of forums is no big deal. Hell, I usually have 3 or 4 open at any given time anyway. :) Don't we all? I think folks are over reacting to this and we should just get back to playing with our new toys.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
He was out of line period. To lock a thread until they pm him is quite frankly bull ****.

It's a wonder why devs are creating teams and some moving on.

One thing, where is he now? He can ban and rant to all the dev threads but don't say anything the past day+. I hope he did get booted. Now the 3D owners need to go to the sensation threads. It's a crock and makes me think a lot of xda right now.

Where are the admins explaining the actions? Don't know man, its getting way way too out of hand. If the op asked to close its one thing but to close it with no other authority but your own is just plain bs.

Come back teamwin. We got your back and will assist all the way.

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
I think he had great intentions and started off moderating the mess very well, but when it came to locking the threads I think he went a bit too far.

I dunno if thats what caused the stuff to get posted elsewhere instead but if it is, its very sad it came to that.

Also dont think it was right to kick the Sensation guys out b/c they were actually helping us when they came and were describing what worked and didn't for them.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
Ya, a lot of the devs in the Samsung Vibrant forums had moved on at one point. I believe 2 or 3 of them, for a multitude of reasons. Seems like we're gonna have the same situation here :\
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
I can agree with that sgt. I also was raised believing intentions are only as good as Ur actions. That's why it was king of the hill game to me all the way. Except he hid behind the whole mod thing.

Sent from my 3VO..
[HTC EVO 3D] Chevyboxer:
I support what he was trying to do but xda is here to encourage development and ideas.Banning and locking the thread because sensation owners were helping and asking for help goes against what xda is here for. He should of allowed for some gray area.
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why wouldn't team win just start a new thread in the 3d dev section? It is not like us the users did anything wrong by them.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Because that rogue mod would have just closed it like he had been doing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leoisright:
If you recall they did then the mod locked it and said to pm him basically when they prove they did it. And he would then unlock it.

Sent from my 3VO..
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
The problem was a lot of the dev thread section was garbage posts and threads. There has to be order. I understand people's frustration but stericson has done a lot for xda
[HTC EVO 3D] kkwus74:
So asking questions and giving suggestions is now garbage? It's development for the love of God. Questions and suggestions are part of it.

PS. And as a mod, you don't go and say 'oh there's no proof yet, oh he didn't do it alone. It was a team effort...... Wtf?

[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
I agree with the moderator, why do people think they needed to post their auto response letter from htc or some other off topic nonsense in the rooting process thread in development, also trolling in development. The devs are trying to accomplish something and all I kept reading was copy and pasted emails on every other page. The mod has warned the users several times this is against the rules of xda and will be enforced, yet people still post off topic and non related dev stuff in development cluttering up the thread.

Now you guys are all butt hurt because you had to take a one day ban because you can't follow directions. Ni**a please. Even after making examples of what not to post people continued to do it, I probably would have been a tougher mod, but I think he's been more than fair.

As far as closing thread, I guess that's what it takes to get people to understand not to post in a development thread unless its development related.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Lazy team win forgot they can make a new thread?
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Oh look, I don't see anything wrong with this?
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Did you PM him or did you post your suggestion on his Modding in the root thread where it doesn't belong?
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
Yea full of post of people asking "how do I flash this" "downloading now" "what do i do with it" and yea "woooohoooo!"
[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
That thread had spiraled out of control, and despite repeated warnings to keep it on topic, people just kept posting the same crap. Despite warnings that posting off-topic crap like "Yeah, way to go!" would result in a ban, people did it anyway. I was watching that thread for information and progress, instead it was 90% non-informative, mostly people asking the same dumb questions over and over.

There is a General section for that kind of stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Okay well when you bring up the HTC letters being posted, where the heck was he when that was going on? It wasn't till actual work was trying to get done that he stepped in and shut stuff down.

Hell there are a ton of threads in the Dev sections on XDA that have a ton of general nonsense talk in them. Yet they are not treated the same?? I get you dont want to clutter development but if your going to do it, just create another thread with updates in the first post and let the ppl cheer, say thanks, do whatever in there and direct them to do so to clean the dev thread in the mean time till it gets root.

Heck everytime Virus or Myn or one of the other great Evo4G devs releases a rom there are a solid 5-15 pages 100% full of nothing but ppl saying thanks and stuff like that. I know different thing there b/c you already have root and all but its still development.

Also, I thought Toast was the 3D forum mod anyway.......
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
y waste space?
[HTC EVO 3D] sfld:
Its a forum.. People need to chill out.

I have frequented phone forums for quite a while... since howard forum days

some mods do this and some dont. If a mod was worried about posts and what not, delete them or merge them in silence... that way you dont have people pointing fingers. Even if he does them in silence now people will know its him lol so thats really outa the question

Chill and relax stericson, and when a dev wants a thread cleaned up, then clean it up for him if not then let it be.
[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
The root thread was different because it existed for one reason -- to find a way to gain root. When you have ROMs or other threads that actually require questions or elicit thank-yous from happy users, then I think a little general nonsense is acceptable.

Imagine you're in a brainstorming session at your work. You're trying to solve a tough problem, but half the people in the meeting just yell out things, "I like apples!" or "How do I open this window again?" or "Baby made a boom boom!" It's counter-productive.
[HTC EVO 3D] VoXHTC:
Regardless, that mod is a tool.

There were about 300 other more constructive ways of handling this without impeding the flow of information. Hindering progress. It's laughable we have to go to the Sensation forums to get information because this kid thought (1st mistake) he was making a good decision.

Feels like Apple and Nazi Germany up in here with him around. NOT as nice as the EVO 4G forums were. Those were the days. Where is Toast?

I'll get banned/reprimanded for this post, which won't surprise me one bit. Loyalty and length of time means nothing around here to this guy. Just his feelings I'm sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
I think he did a great job. A bunch of members seem spoiled here. Did he treat them like children? Sure did! Love this mod!
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah and if you read my whole post you would of seen that I even said it was different. BUT also said there was deff another way of going about it than straight closing them both. It eliminates people from the ability to help each other and does nothing but force people to take other avenues to get together and solve the problem. Hence the stuff being posted on a different site, most work being done in IRC, and even more so the thing being discussed in detail at the sensation forums some.

When you force people to use other avenues to get things done it takes away from xda imho. xda is about developing and seeing how stuff is done and helping everyone out to solve a problem.

I dont get how he came in here outa nowhere and closed the threads yet we heard nothing from the evo3d forum mods toastcfh, josefcrist, rolfd.

I agree with the temp bans but just do not agree with the full on closing of the threads along with booting the sensation guys out who were there to help anyway. You end up putting fear into people to post and in turn you might have that one person not post up their off the wall idea that could turn out to be a huge help to the brains behind hacking in.
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
Feels like deja vu up in here LOL 0_o
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
my point exactly.... future people with ideas and maybe welcome comments into their thread will be sidetracked by wayward moderators kicking/banning/closing/locking/deleting....
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
let me clarify

. the actual evo 3d development section. not just the root thread had filled up with junk. actually a lot of us were complaining.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
come on man. seriously? nazi germany? you need to retract that. stericson has been on here for years. comparing stericson with a regime that killed millions is ignorant and childish
[HTC EVO 3D] rockky:
Next few months are NOT going to be fun in the Dev forum unless this dude exits. Regardless of his intentions, too much bad blood at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Thanks, and here I was thinking I'm the only one who thought he was a refreshing welcome.
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
ya u were prob the retard hypeman in his ear dickeating... "yeah he said thanks, BAN HIM!" you should prob return ur phone and go back to the samsung moment or some ****...
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
lol thanks.

my thread is closed so im going to lash out like a child. do you even comprehend the horror people went through during ww11?? seriously grow up. thats insane
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
He was enjoying what he was doing and being disrespectful. Yes clean the threads but not

"did you get lost? banned, I told you not to do this, banned *poof banned*"

Not only that but he then went on to brag on twitter he banned about 10 people(link in his sig). I agree with cleaning up the threads but not like that. One warning was all that was needed and if you didn't read his warning, fine ban. Every post that was off topic did not need a "banned tag on it" Just ban/remove no comment needed form mod. People will get the picture when they are banned or their posts are being removed.
[HTC EVO 3D] fernando sor:
you may be right. regardless people need to act like adults
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Haha, that would be fun.

Lets not forget these bans were 1 day only temp.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Actually people got the picture since we see the up roar! He did a fine job don't you think?
[HTC EVO 3D] buck1623:
must be cool to want to turn the 3d section into the "if it aint worth 2 ****s dont say it" section... i can see this area getting all of the "redirects" of developments, starting with the temp root hahaha....
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
+1

Xda is a forum, a forum isn't **** without its users, just take a look at android central LOL. Mods or not a forum can't exist if users leave. If I EVER get a ban for interacting, asking questions or saying thanks I would be one less user this place has. It's already gone to **** these past couple of years anyways with power hungry mods, crazy trolls that create accounts every day to ask about root, and just bad blood every where. This isn't fcuking elementary, there's people that actually need to be punished on this site and no ones paying them any mind.

But if laying the hammer over the internet to harmless people gets you off then that's ur biz....
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
And you just won't take this dudes balls off your chin I see........tisk tisk
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Why the disrespect though? I have NEVER seen another mod go about it like that then brag about it.

He did a fine job of moving the 3d work to the Sensation thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] Pinepig:
It's weird isn't it.

I have the Sensation and spent more time in the dev forum for the 3d keeping up to date. The reality is you guys have more dev support as all the sprint devs moved to the 3d since it's the first great phone sprint has got since the OG EVO.

As habit I'm still looking for the info here and most of it is over in Sensation now, I feel for ya, there will be a little more noise to signal ratio over on our side as our mod is almost not there, but we welcome all you guys because if it wasn't for the 3d folks we wouldn't have ****.

PS I hope you micro penored napoleon e-thug mod takes the ride back to normal user status. The folks that own XDA can't have that kinda crap happen.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Why are we fighting about this? He did not ban either of us and for good reason.

Let's move on to other topics.
[HTC EVO 3D] klbjr:
Maybe Nazi Germany is a little harsh but I think he did overstep his boundries and apparently so did TeamWin because you see the result. Granted there were some comments posted in the sections that didn't belong but its a forum! That is the nature of it. People come to post there thoughts & ideas and bounce them off over people. The fact of the matter is, whether or not its a "dev" forum, the real dev work doesn't get done on this site. It gets done in the homes & workplaces of the devs. They post here to share ideas, or results. So the whole idea that it was slowing down development or interfering is total BS. TeamWin got us temp root & the so called useless posts didn't stop or slow them down. Granted some posts needed to be removed and maybe even some of the 1 day bans for repeat offenders but locking the thread was a total abuse of power and a big F U to us all. Apparently the devs thought so also because now we're all in the Sensation forum looking for updates for our Evo 3D. Kind of ironic because the Sensation folks got banned and crapped on for looking here for a possible root now we have to go to their section. I guess next we'll get told to go to our own forum & start getting banned for asking questions in their forum. Thanks stericson! Great job!!! Smdh!
[HTC EVO 3D] dirkyd3rk:
Been here since 2006 and I've never witnessed that kind of behavior....over a coming soon thread, like really haha effin joke.

That incident won't be forgotten, users will talk about that as long as EVO 3D is out smh

fair enough. hey it bothered me also. i wanted to follow the thread. its just i used a lot of his information when i was learning to theme. he has helped a lot of people.

Well let him stick to helping people theme and leave the moderating to somebody else who isn't prone to getting a god-complex and then bragging about it. "[In his Gator voice] Are you a big mod? Huh? I'm talkin' to you!

[HTC EVO 3D] Harfainx:
Well I'm sure the flames will be tossed my way by the angry mob for this one...

Has anyone stopped to think that he was trying to keep the forum somewhat clean? I mean look at Haus's thread. What is there, like 1700 posts in it, and about... maybe 40 actually pertaining to the topic.

Since the phone came out, and we don't have full root yet, people are spamming like crazy, flaming each other like that's all they know how to do, and generally cluttering up the forum with nothing but hatred and ignorance.

Maybe if people could actually keep their questions in the questions section, the general garbage in the general section, and only post actual info in the dev section, none of this would have happened.

You know what brings over-moderation? Hundreds upon hundreds of people spamming a forum that is supposed to be organized.
[HTC EVO 3D] vinterchaos:
Reminds me of this one time a buddy of mine and I got banned from a BC2 server because the clan didn't like getting owned by us.

Anyways, I was watching some vids shot in 3d with the evo3d and I wasn't impressed by most of them, I've only played with photos so far.. anyone snag any good 3d vids yet?
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Everyone keeps talking about the mod trying to clean up the forums. Yes clean up but the comments were not needed, except to make him feel like a man or mod or whatever else he wanted to feel like. One post with warnings is enough, his following actions did not need a narrative. I am in total agreement about cleaning but he went the extra step to "flex" for everyone in the forums.
[HTC EVO 3D] phatmanxxl:
You want to see some real arrogant forum nazi mods go to powerdbydanger.com, you can't even have a normal on topic conversation without them deleting and editing your posts for redicoulous reasons, also sdx-developers (samsung dev forums) would never tolerate what goes on here at xda, you'll get banned with a quickness.

All you people have to do is follow the forum rules, then you don't have anything to worry about, its that simple.
[HTC EVO 3D] novanosis85:
Verbal warning are sometimes not enough, and action had to be taken.

He even closed the thread to clean it, and upon reopening the useless post repeated.

My job give out verbal warnings, but that next step is a write up and then permanent ban aka fired.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Again you seem to be missing the point. Ban everyone fine, do it without the commentary. I guarantee banning without any comment and people will stay on topic real fast. Unfortunately this is a job you are not boss of, so your analogy means nothing.
