Which thread should I post a Nomination for "Moderator of the Month/Year"?

I would like to, personally, Nominate "[MENTION=1205214]SacredDeviL666[/MENTION]"!!!

That Moderator has excellent skills with member relations.

Maybe this is something that [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION], [MENTION=2235607]svetius[/MENTION], or another Administrator can consider.

Just an idea... :)

[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
It's an interesting idea but very difficult to judge. Most Moderators operate in teams so it's not primarily about individuals. Some may be highly active in one way and perhaps obviously so to Members but others may do less obvious things behind the scenes but still contributing to team operations. Some may be technically knowledgeable and able not only to keep good organisation in the forums but able to help in a technical sense. Others may be better at al those routine chores like moving posts, closing redundant threads etc. Yet others may be very active dealing with Member reported posts and not seen so much in the forums.

Some Moderators may have more time available to them than others and some may only be available in time zones not so obvious to many Users.

All these things makes comparing and contrasting not only difficult but possibly unjust to some Moderators. We monitor Moderators at all levels, so what we can say is that in general over time all our Moderators are active in some way or other and deserve our support and thanks.

[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
I understand that and also had realized a few of those points while other points you had mentioned didn't occur to me.

I now understand that even based upon the activity level (not the results), as a whole, would really make it really difficult whereas many Moderators aren't publicly seen as much as others.

Thank you very much for the clarification and the eye opener on this.

Most all Moderators I've seen and messaged with are very helpful in many ways and I'm happy that I've even received clarification in many areas when I ask.

I understand that it wouldn't actually be fair to do this based upon the excellent results of one, more active, Moderator when others are excellent too but, may not be as active.

I'll just tip my hat and thank ALL of the Moderators for their hard work as well as their strive to be as fair and open minded as possible.

I've got a, type of, forum feature request that, i believe, is a very good idea (though it may be a stretch)...

It would be great if a member would be able to view and track reports made to Moderators.

In no way, or intended, as a way to track a Moderator but, as a "read only" for reports made so a member will know where in the process a report is from submission to closed.

I hope u had explained it okay via text... :)

Maybe something that could be discussed or has been discussed already in an Administrators Meeting [MENTION=335322]MikeChannon[/MENTION]?

Do you mean apart from the current notification you get via PM from a moderator? When reporting a post, I experienced that the follow-up is properly communicated from beginning to end ("Your report is being reviewed/has been closed").
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Yes, there is a semi automated system. Notifications go out at various stages, though there are some parts that rely on the Mod choosing an option to send parts to the reporter.

[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
I was just thinking of a way of tracking besides the PM notifications.

I'm not stating that the PM's are not valuable at all but, just a separate feature that would be somewhere within the Members Control Panel.

I know that the Moderators have some type of way on how they treat/handle the reports. I used a similar type of system elsewhere but, looking at the process as a read/view only for the reports would be a nice little feature to have.

This was just a thought/idea that would be good to have.

[About XDA developers] woodman:
Hey, thanks for the suggestion but could you explain us what would be the point of such a separate feature in control panel for non moderators? If it's not for tracking moderators, what else?

The automated PMs already inform members of the actions taken. If you have no news after a report has been taken by a mod, it often means there's no action required. And sometimes the reporters don't necessarily need to know how exactly mods "treat/handle the reports". Some actions need to stay private.

I guess you want a kind of history of YOUR reported posts, don't you? If it's the case, what's the point?
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Hi

Could you PM me the content of what you are trying to post there?

I'm not sure if the spam filter is the same one used for the forums but if so the filter might be stopping it for some not so obvious reasons, or for some reason your account is blocked. Does it block you making comments on other articles?

Mike
[About XDA developers] Ibuprophen:
Please disregard my suggestion... :(

It was made with good intentions but, I feel that it might be getting received as if there were "Ulterior Motives" involved.

I know that a feature like this would involve a bit of work on the part of the XDA "Geek Squad" Guys and it's extremely understandable that they do have more pressing/important items in their agenda (which i can say that they are honestly doing an excellent job too!!!).

Thank you all for your time, consideration and understanding.

The Administrators and Moderators here on the xda-developers are a great bunch of Guys/Ladies and are doing a fantastic job too.

Keep up the GREAT work!!! :thumbup:

Some time ago I've written a little review on a ROM. You know, it's one of those "hidden in plain sight" features, I bet some users never even noticed it before. A shame, because it's a good way of keeping these type of things separate from the development chatter in the thread. Since XDA relies heavily on the 'Thanks!' system, why isn't it available for reviews? And would it be possible to have some more interaction with them such as a comment section below it? Perhaps the author of a thread can even highlight some of them in the OP in a fancy way like all the cool kids are doing over at Hollywood. Just putting it out there ^_^

Maybe it's supposed to be this way, and I just don't know why, but wanted to report that, when visiting the 'Android Development and Hacking' main page, (https://xdaforums.com/android), and scrolling down to the section called 'Xposed Framework Modules', you see the same 2 or 3 thread previews all the time, even though there are continually new posts being made. Every other forum I've seen, (I think), shows previews of the threads, (usually 4 or 5), that have been most recently posted in.

I decided today that I should subscribe to ad free. Head over to this page <https://xdaforums.com/ad-free/> and get the "turn off your ad blocker" intercept. I block that with umatrix and actually get the ad free page and click on the "ok I want it link". That just sends me to https://xdaforums.com/#.

Pffft...

Being persistent (maybe a little bored today) I highlight the black on gray text a the bottom of the page and manage to find https://xdaforums.com/ad-free/manage/. Ooooh! That has an "extend ad-free" button on it. Could it be?

Nope.

[About XDA developers] Spannaa:
The last page of the Nexus 6P Pure Nexus thread is showing as a 404 - I assume this is because a load of posts have been deleted.

You can see what I mean by going to the last 'real' page and clicking 'next'.

It happens quite a lot in dev threads that need moderating frequently and is a PITA when trying to navigate to the last post.

Is it possible for the page and post count to be adjusted automatically when posts are removed so that the navigation doesn't break?
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
Clicking the last page link in that thread works fine for me. Not sure what you're doing different.

I do have my forum settings set to show 50 posts per page, which changes things.

The "last page" link for me shows as:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-pure-nexus-layers-fi-wifi-calling-t3244563/page797

But for you:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-pure-nexus-layers-fi-wifi-calling-t3244563/page3985

Obviously less pages for me with more posts per page. But no idea why the link is broken. Even with deleted posts, it should still work s far as I know. I thought it did account for those.
[About XDA developers] woodman:
Clicking on his link ends up with a 404 error for me too.

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/development/rom-pure-nexus-layers-fi-wifi-calling-t3244563/page3986

When you clik on it, the link changes itself to "page3985" at the end.

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/deve...g-t3244563/showthread.php?t=3244563&page=3985

It's just a broken link, I don't know why he has "page 3986" in it :confused:
[About XDA developers] Spannaa:

Anyone else having issues using tapatalk with the forums as of late? It's constantly telling my I don't have permission to reply to threads unless I refresh a couple dozen times.
[About XDA developers] SacredDeviL666:
This happens when you move a post from that DEVDB thread to other thread.

What i do as a work around is post something, then delete that post.(i know not feasible for users) then you can go to last page without getting the 404 error.

Happens on DevDB threads mostly and been there for a while.

i avoid moving posts because of that from devdb and if i have to then post a random post and while deleting the page's cache gets refreshed within server and doesn't give us the 404 error.

Thanks all for addressing the first couple of items! Any news on increasing those attachment size limits?

I just noticed in the attachment sizes list that a .face file can be 96mb and a .watch file can be 4gb (yes, gb!), so it seems kinda silly that the maximums for zip, tar, gz, and img are 20mb, especially when a .img dump from a current device is 64mb.

[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
Just bringing these up again... Any movement on this at all up the chain of command?

Boot image dumps from any new device are 64mb now, so xda needs to modernize the attachment size limits to support the root community.

I really don't want to have to rename my next AIK-mobile release .zip to .face just to get around the ridiculously low 20mb limit and avoid the horribly broken DevDB...
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
There is a point where people will have to use 3rd party sources. XDA has protected itself over the years because things were not hosted on the site. And some things still shouldnt be.
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
And yet .watch can be 4gb and .face can be 100mb? With all due respect, that's kind of a straw-man argument (or at least a slippery slope fallacy) for why the .zip and .img size limit "has" to be 20mb... I don't think raising it to 64mb will let any warez kiddies run wild. :p
[About XDA developers] sd_shadow:
File extensions are just a label, someone with basic windows or android knowledge can edit the file extension, without modifying the format of the file.

Anyone could upload a 4gb .watch file loaded with copyrighted or illegal material, once downloaded you wouldn't even have to change the extension back to use it, in many cases.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
To be honest. If xda was smart nothing would be honest on xda at, all and all links would be from 3rd party storage but I guess someone forgot just why it was made that way. Maybe it's time they were reminded.
[About XDA developers] osm0sis:
I agree .watch at 4gb is likely too loose, but raising .zip, .tar, .gz and .img to 64mb would not be, it would be sensible. ;):)

I don't believe warez are a matter of discussion here, those are quickly and fiercely reported and removed. Bandwidth could be another deal. Let's assume there are about 50,000 visitors per day and they all check 10 pages, resulting in half a million pageviews: "With 500000 pageviews a day, http://xdaforums.com is using 2.49 GB monthly bandwidth on average." - Webhostingmedia Bandwidtgh Calculator Tool

If that calculator is reliable in any way then that's not too bad, is it? I have a 10 Gig cap on my puny little website at a very reasonable cost.

Okay okay, they probably don't include the file hosting but I'm just trying to show that there's some room to spare. I'm with [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] that it definitely needs some rework. How much is up to the people with access to the data.

In any case, I believe there would only be a real problem if ROMs could be hosted here. 500MB zips being leeched tens of thousands of times... Then again, AFH and the likes seem to handle it well. I'll just be quiet now :)
