Requesting a forum does not guarantee one. Everyone wants a forum here for their device. XDA cannot possibly provide a forum for every single Android device that pops up. The only ones that normally get homes here are the ones with high development potential, high popularity, and flagship devices. Beyond that, don't expect a forum to be given out just because fifty people ask for it.

It actually takes a short time for the system to catch up with the post count, looking at your posts I'd class you as a spammer though seeing as nearly all your posts have just been to say thanks. All this done within what looks like the minimum time period, i would be surprised if a mod sees your post here and resets your post count.

I've just deleted most of your posts. Please don't try to boost your post count by saying "thanks" all the time. I'll just delete them again. Instead, go help people by answering tbeir queries in the Q&A forums

Oh, and read the rules, only members with 10 or more posts can post in dev threads. This is to prevent spammers and those asking questions which have been answered loads of times before it only people searched

"The easiest method to defeat Xrumer is to simply require the first post of any new forum member or blog poster to be approved before it can appear."

Having to get approval for their first post would lump most of the spamers together. Easy pickens for the mods.

Having to wait 1-3 hours isn't going to dissuade desirable new members.

It was worth a try but they probably could worm around it anyway.

Personally I rather flame the spam posters for sport for a bit.

Rather than delete and PB the spamers on the spot, ghost them instead. Then after a day, week, month etc toss them. You could maybe automate the thread/post/account delete time so it be a one shot deal.

To beat a spammer, ya gotta think like a spammer;) If I was a spammer👀, I would simply make what looks like a valid post, and once approved, edit the post with my spam.
[About XDA developers] ZG_DEV:
Great thinking out of the box ! 😁
[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
And imagine if your dummy post gets some "likes" before you change to the spam. It will look like an endorsement from the "like" users.

Not really out of the box; as I am a scammer in disguise:cool:. I personally often edit my post to correct typos. And every time I do, I think of the "likes" on the post, and how I could totally change the content and assimilate all the previous likes / endorsements on a different answer; or more important, to my likes!. Which made me think that maybe every post edited after a like, should be "approved" by the "likers", but that would hinder all quick corrections. ie not practical.
[About XDA developers] blackhawk:
Unfortunately for the spammer people read the posts so they still would get tagged.

Make them work... as long as it doesn't cause the mods more work.
[About XDA developers] DiamondJohn:
The point was that they would make it through initially barrier and get "some" air time. Where as if their first post is spam, it would be blocked before any air time. The whole basis of spam is that "people read the posts" so the second barrier of people reading it is what the spammer wants and would thereby drive them for future spamming.
[About XDA developers] blackhawk:
That's crossed my dyslexic mind before so at the most I add rather than delete so the original content isn't completely changed. Unless I have a Harvey Korman "My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives." moment.

Even long time FMs sometimes abuse it; one reason to use the quote option. That is an abuse of the privilege. My block list has some that did this🤣

I've made some lame posts here but rather than delete them I leave them, my SOP. I however will correct typos if I spot them regardless of the time span. If an edit significantly changes the information I generally note it as an edit.

As for spamers they are irelavant in this context.

Dear Moderators,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request approval for a post we would like to share on your Razer Phone 2 forum.

Our team is working on an exciting community-driven project aimed at recreating and improving the charging port daughter board for the Razer Phone 2. The current daughter board has a known issue where it can tear, rendering the charging port useless. Unfortunately, replacements are not available from the manufacturer, leaving many Razer Phone 2 users in a bind.

We have a solid background in creating repair devices for consoles, and you can check out our previous work on our website rippedtraces.com or on Reddit. We've had numerous requests from the community to tackle this specific issue, and we are eager to help.

To bring this project to life, we need to raise $250-300 as well as seek testers and engineers from the community. This amount will cover the costs of building the PCB, acquiring all necessary components, and shipping units to testers for feedback and improvement. We will release the designs as an open-source project, allowing anyone in the community to benefit.

You can view our GoFundMe campaign:

Good morning, gentlemen. Above for your attention please.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Unfortunately we are not geared up to monitor, check on, or approve of such a post. We have in the past allowed a select few posts from Developers who were attempting to create software, ROMs etc. for a device and who might need some base funding. We refer to the thread they create as a bounty thread. HOWEVER we have only permitted such a thread for software development and from a long standing developer here at XDA (with a proven track record on this site). There are other criteria too which I won't go into here but from what I've said already we could not approve such a thread.

You can imagine that if we allowed this from new members and for hardware rather than software, we would be flooded with threads requesting funding with no guarantees of good outcomes and as I say we are not geared up to check on thread requests especially from new members. Although we are a huge website we do not have the staffing necessary to verify and "police" such threads.

I must add that I have absolutely no reason to doubt your sincerity or track record and I truly hope you find a way to fund it and develop the board.

Find your device not working for Xperia S

Hello Moderators,

I believe recently Xperia S threads have been relocated from P, U and Sola group to Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion. I'm not sure if I am the only experiencing this but clicking Sony Xperia S in the Find your device search box in the top navigates to the old forum page.

I have to discuss a -ve feedback given to me.

User - Jaydizz

I clearly asked him "if its possible to list the item on ebay?" and in the very same PM I clearly mentioned "don't list the item on ebay yet".

So, I think I don't really deserve the -ve feedback here.

Whatever we dealt on ebay, should be taken care on ebay itself. If I bought the item (from auction) and didn't pay, I will be getting an unpaid item recorded on my ebay account and perhaps suspension too and the seller can send a -ve feedback on ebay itself, if he wants to.

I don't know why the dealings on ebay should affect here.

PS: I never posted in the sale thread that I am buying.

Although, I did agreed to buy through PM but I clearly asked the seller to NOT list the item on ebay yet because I was not sure if I will be able to pay at that time.

You agreed to buy through PM... End of dispute, accept the feedback like an adult..

This is a good examples of why the MP is getting suspended...

You appear to have ignored the advice on buying here on multiple counts, and now want us to remove your negative feedback for backing out of a deal after you agreed to it?

No.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
The buyer stated he wanted to buy the item. He acknowledges that he didn't pay, and will get an unpaid item record on ebay, and possibly suspension.

As such you were within your right to give negative feedback on ebay and/or here.

He should not have left retaliatory feedback because of that, as he has admitted he was in the wrong.

He's also not acting in a particularly mature manner... Anyway I'll take a look, but his feedback sounds unjustified and due to him acting like a child. If that's the case I'll get I removed.

I know we really don't need another sticky in the general area, but how long should we expect to see some action taken on sig sizes? Do we need a place to report them? Another thread? I click the report button, other - non urgent, put sig size. Even when they are posted here, it doesn't seem to work. And we are getting more and more of them.

http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=3862405

Not sure if this post should go in the feedback thread or not. Really looking for some clarrification on what to do when I see huge sigs. I report them, and FSMs, I don't think quite get the idea of it being a problem. I've had to report a guy's posts a few times before it was changed, over the course of a week. And most people get offended when you mention to them about it. So I quit and started trying to get the mods to handle it. Maybe they would be a lil more active about changing it when they get a pm from a mod about it.

Can we make a rule for it? No more than 300 pixels high? How's that? The current sigpic size limit is 100X500. So add in some text and I think that 300 pixels is quite liberal. And if it's bigger, just use the HIDE tags.

I guess this post does belong here. I request a rule, an actual rule, on the size of sigs. Can't remember who posted it earlier, but the forum had a filter to notify users that their sig was too big. That would be an awesome idea for something like height I said earlier. And to anyone who says just ignore it or disable sigs, you can't ignore those giant ass things and people post good info in their sig and I want to see the info. Just don't want the info taking up my entire screen. And my screen is 1600x900. Not a small 480.

[About XDA developers] a.cid:
Hmm, not sure how feasible this would be, but if you guys designate a tolerable max signature height, those sigs which go above max should by default get a scrollview.

So if someone still tries to put in a large signature, he'll not be adding unnecessary length to the forum page.

To me, anything over 400px (total sig size, text + images) is too big.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Yup it was you. :)

I take it you mean 400px in width is your threshold?

Oh, i think you meant the height...that explains why that sig was within your limit. For me a sigpic of over 200/250px in height is no good i guess.

Ok, so 300px in height looks to be a fair deal like bobo said.
