I was digging this story up from the portal

And found all of MagicAsh's posts had been deleted. Thought maybe he took his work to another site. Searched for MagicAsh dslr on Google and found this story from another site.

http://greenromproject.net/2012/09/21/control-your-nikon-or-canon-dslr-with-your-android-device/

Apparently they are ripping off many of the portal stories and giving no credit to the original writers. Figured the admins might like to know.

I actually found quite a few stories that copied the portal story word for word, but they linked to the story so credit was given as source. Just that one stood out quite big as anyone going to xda from that story will see the portal if they browse around. Yeah, complete douche.

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I don't know whether the admins would go ahead with this suggestion, but it's definitely not hard to implement.

Recently, in the JT Inverted Gapps thread, there was a password system in place to ensure people read what was written in the OP.

A random password would be split into a couple of different parts and hidden randomly within the OP and people needed to find the password to be able to get access to the inverted gapps.

Couldn't that same idea be used within the forum rules?

If, when someone comes to this site to sign up, they could be presented with the forum rules before they actually complete the sign up process. If the get the password correct, they would be allowed to continue to sign up.

It was proven to make people read the OP thoroughly and carefully because even though there were a lot of people moaning about the password system, there were quite a few saying that it's a great idea and because it made them read the OP numerous times it helped the words sink into their mind.

The only downside I can see to this idea is that it may well put some people off the idea of signing up. But on the plus side, because it will force people to read to be able to sign up, we should see a definite improvement in a new members mentality regarding reading the OP of threads.
[About XDA developers] Sib64:
Indeed, it would be a good idea to be sure that the new member has read well the rules ;) :good:
[About XDA developers] :
The biggest problem I see is that given the size of xda it wouldn't take long for the password to be leaked on the web. I would bet within a week a quick Google search would produce the password.

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
It could quite easily be changed say once a week though.

It's not as if it would take a lot of work from an admin to do that because it's literally a case of thinking of a password and breaking it down throughout the rules. Just a fee mins work at most.
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
That doesn't sound bad to me. They would learn to do a search that way.
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
I was about to post the same thing as CFB...And even if a password is required, I don't think a common man would go and do a search.

If it was me,I would just go back and read the rules again

So will that count in big sig or small.
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
Yours is ok.. as its under hide tags.. its big only if its large when we open a thread.. that is without extra effort being put on to make it small.. you could put show content button on right side of the quote using floatright tags.. and i think you are not supposed to have that blog link in sig... as its against the xda rule to advertise of personal sites or similar sites to xda.. since your blog is kinda of similar.. not 100% sure though.. some mod may clear that..

[About XDA developers] jRi0T68:
Honestly, shouldn't the swear list be updated?

Many websites allow any words not explicitly blocked by the swear filter, such as da*n or cr*p. By not having an updated, accurate and complete swear list, it's almost entrapment if a mod were to choose to infract for profanity.

I'd also say enforcement of rules isn't consistent site wide. There have been a couple of nsfw threads allowed to run for months, yet any reference to marital relations gets moderator attention.

I also thought I read a long diatribe from you somewhere on how this site caters to developers, not users or children. If that's true, why limit adult conversation? If children's parents or those sensitive to borderline colorful language, cfb, don't like it, shouldn't they just leave? Or is the mission statement of the site officially moved away from developer focused?
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Adult conversations have no need for swearing. We are a developers site and that holds true. No where in development do people need to swear. We also have to understand that many people visit this site and we should respect everyone. No matter what.

We can not be everywhere at once.
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
We certainly don't classify "crap" or "darn" as profanity. Profanity is "f**k" or "s**t". We also certainly won't infract for profanity for something like crap. I'm not sure why you would think this to be the case? There aren't any words we would infract for that aren't covered by the filter.

If you come across a thread you think isn't suitable, then please report it using the report post button, and the mod team will look into it.

As for your last point, I don't follow? Are you saying all developers are adults? That's a strange (and entirely untrue) classification. This site caters for developers. Children can be (and are) developers too.
[About XDA developers] jRi0T68:
There are inconsistencies/hypocrisy which is frustrating. Specifically, the word "a-hole" was, as a joke about myself, in my sig, and not filtered. Thus, I assumed it was allowed. I found out that wasn't the case, but I at least wasn't infracted. It just raised the question. I mean, if it's not allowed, it should be added to the filter. Honestly, though, you'd think near-nudity and this :flipoff2: smiley would be more offensive. It's just inconsistent.

My last point was that a lot of effort is focused on kid-friendliness if the purpose is elsewhere. It doesn't seem rational when the same attention could be used elsewhere and moderator's time is limited. Do a search on "fap", for example. Regardless, I don't expect or request any action to be taken other than updating the swear filter would be nice. I merely saw myself spotlighted here and had related viewpoints to express.

Staff normally encourages the use of online translators to those who don't natively speak English. Even though it is broken English, he isn't breaking any rules, just because he doesn't get the grammar correct. The rule only says that the language has to be English.

It's kind of a pain in the butt, but yea, he's within the rules to post like in that example. It would be helpful if you or someone using that ROM could help him out and rewrite it in proper English for him. I've done that on a number of occasions for users in his situation. That will also help him build his language skills by learning those mistakes, and continuing to use English here.

Not all new users that post in ot are considered spammers, although the 10 post rule is bandied around a lot by people (me included) and posts are reported here, moderators look at each case individually and decide on a case by case basis. I think time between posts and registration dates are considered in this. I think we can be asured that all reports are looked at and action taken if considered necessary.

[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
OK everyone, this thread is being severely diverted from the original topic on a seemingly regular basis. Let's take a moment to remind everyone of what this thread is not for:

Asking for a thread to be stuck (use the Thread Maintenance option in the RP system)

Reporting 10 post spammers (use the RP system)

Reporting massive signatures (use the RP system and a forum moderator or Senior Moderator will take care of it)

Finally, and please do not be offended by this, but if you are not a moderator on here, do not answer questions asked that are directed to us. We appreciate the willingness to help, but no matter how innocent the answer is, you cannot trust it to be correct unless if comes from one of us.

Going forward, all posts not 100% on topic will be removed, including if we (the Mods) make them. Warnings/infractions will follow for OT discussion in here. *This post is everyone's official 1st friendly warning*
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
For clarity here, the new direction on the large signatures is going back to using the report post feature?

I'm only asking because I remember it bouncing back and forth once before, I think. It went from reporting the post directly to reporting here for others to decide, since it had to be handled by senior mods or above. I could be wrong on the details, but I do recall it switching from reporting the post directly to reporting here.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
For a while it seemed like the best method would be posting here about it. But given the number of reports coming in for them, it will be best served by the RP system. The FSM that picks up the reported post will raise it to our attention.
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
Got it. Which report category do we use? Post maintenance or Other - non-urgent? I figure those are the only two that fit the bill for the big sigs.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
Let's go with Other Non-Urgent. I'll update the first post of the thread to cover this as well.
[About XDA developers] cajunflavoredbob:
Understood.

Last question about it. Do you guys have a general guideline of what an (unofficial) acceptable sig size should be? Since we aren't posting here in this thread about it, but instead making reports, I don't want to waste the staff's time in reporting something that I feel is large, when it may not be large enough for someone else.
[About XDA developers] NotATreoFan:
As of this moment, we do not have anything defined. But your judgement has been spot on in the past, so let's just say large images and double/triple spaced text is pushing it.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
This has been a topic of discussion for sometime now, has a decision not been made on this by the mods/admins yet? Not sure what's holding you back here, a rule restricting the banner size to a specific reasonable dimension combined with large font size and double/triple spaced text like you said would suffice or are you working on a scrollbox?
