This is a bit like banning commonly available substances, when half of society are already substance abusers. :D
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
but, now that i have made a sticky saying that i dont want new threads then there should be less opened
[XPERIA X10 General] NiJunge:
After having read the post today where now get a more acurate date on Eclair I see that to mention this on this forum is not aloved anymore and the auther was banned as this relates to 2.1

Does that mean when someone in here gets there first download of 2.1 and wants to let everyone know then this will be deleted ?

Also from my point of view I find it very easy to look at the headlines of any post to se if it is relevant or not for me if 2.1 is not relevant and to hear anything get me going into red . then I tend to simply not read it

I find mederation a great thing as without things seems to go ...... but to simply say 2.1 we dont want to hear about it or even the constant talk about the volume but realy i find it soooo easy to read arround this

Foul language or other unpleasentness should be banned right away

N
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
the issue with that model is thats you

a lot of people cant just ignore posts and they decide to flame giving more things to do

so rather than let them flame i take the oprtunity away from them
[XPERIA X10 General] lornova:
I

strongly disagree

with the closure of the thread "2.1 Eclair Date Confirmed". It was an useful thread, it added precious information, it is not the standard "when will 2.1 released???" forbidden in this thread.

I would hereby request to the moderator has closed it to reopen it.
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
and I take issue with your incredibly heavy handed moderating.

My post earlier was obviously a joke, which flew way over your head.

Now, everyone hates multiple threads on the same topic, but, the guy who actually posted proof and a real date should not of had his topic closed.

I'll write it here in simple English... I've said this before, btw:

No one wants to read a million rumor threads about the same topic, but, when someone has information with proof, they should never be silenced. Otherwise, you completely destroy the purpose of this message board, and it will lose members quickly.
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
+1. At this rate we will need a moderator for the moderator. LOL
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
PiLoTs on a rampage :D
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
by no means is my moderating heavy handed

the thread 2.1 Eclair Date Confirmed was closed becuase that piece of information was provided previously in the thread Android 2.1 week 38 which you would have realised if you had searched and read the forum before blindly accusing me of heavy handed moderating

also when you take into consideration

2.1 over 1.6 benefits

2.1 upgrade news from seinsider

[video] 2.1 for X10 relased ??

Played with 2.1 on x10 today!!

Waiting For Update><

Xperia x10 Multi-touch and updates after 2.1

all within the first five pages of general, not counting deleted threads

thats a lot of thereads to be looking after especially since they are all roughly the same topic and most of the replies turn into flaming.

no i apologise if you think im being heavy handed but when there's at atleast 3 topics a day of the exact same thing and they each get20 replies of nastiness i can either read 60 posts and delete the bad ones or i can stop a war early by closing the thread
[XPERIA X10 General] JohnXIII:
Ahhh moderation is a ***** folks...

Hey gang.

Totally in agreement with you guys.

The moderators need moderators to ensure us of a "real moderation service" for this board.:(

It is not the first time I see good threads closed by our current jokers.

(I agree irrelevant post should be removed, but who and how is decided what is relevant?:confused:).

Plus to be quite honest, this is far from being the most organized blog on the subject.

On the plus note, if you dig far enough, you'll find anything on this site concerning your phone, you just sadly have to go over the entire section to find some infos, wich oftenly is embeded in a maze of post, wich is time consumming and somewhat pointless.(Keep in mind, I work 45 hours a week, I'm an lyricist and write a lot, then comes the gf, the kids and a rather extensive social life. So I have about 25 to 35 minutes a week to go over my gadgets and toys. XD )

It sadly seems the people over here somewhat forgot we are not all hardcore techno wiz with illimited time to play with our toys.

And to be quite honest, the attitude problem of a lot of them is somewhat starting to be a turn off.

I've exchanged words with one of them before and the smugness of that dude was, well, ginormous.

So I leave you on this, I have already made my mind:

1- this site is only good for root/roms/mods.

2- For real service concerning news on our phones, I will go elsewhere.

3- lastly, I believe the current moderator failed their mandate, wich should only be making sure the post are relevant or non-aggressive and mainly get their heads of their asses and realize that this is a service site and all questions are good(keep in mind most people around the globe can't understand **** about the software/hardware of their phones).

Peace to you all,

No hard felling XDA, I just call it how I see it.

Love you guys,

XIII
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Well apart from all of them dealing with eclair they are all different subjects. Just looking at a topic, seeing the characters 2.1 and then locking or deleting it is either lazy moderation or indicating a total lack of reading comprehension. Well, to be fair, the fifth topic title is a tad ambiguous so I'll give you that.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
i see your point

but they all have the issue of 2.1 at their core which means theyre all essentially the same issue

and under the same pressure from people asking me to close threads and new threads opened. i called it the way i see it

also there was mention of "if i want real service ill go to another site site and this site is only good for roms root and development well this site is called xda-DEVELOPERS we do mainly appeal to developers and its only recently its catered more to end users

IF you all think there should be one topic on the release of 2.1 then i will create and sticky a thread for the talk of 2.1 only
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Agreed, it's your call. You're the moderator and all I can do is voice my opinion on it. :)

However, currently the biggest, non-dev, topic is the upcoming update. So talking about it is just natural. The problem isn't really that the 2.1 update is being talked about but rather the format. Out of all the traffic about 2.1 there's very little substance, most of it is really just badly hidden flames and people whining about 1.6. The duplicate posts are relatively easy to avoid so it's really a non-issue.

If I'd been moderating I'd employ a zero tolerance policy on flames and criticism that isn't constructive. For example:

Topics whining about low in-call volume? Bad.

Topics about low in-call volume with discussions on possible ways to improve it? Good.

Topics saying that the X10 doesn't support MT? Bad.

Topics talking about MT, the hardware related to it and reasonable discussions about the possibility of it on the X10? Good.

I could go on but I hope you see my point. The problem isn't really with the topics but rather how they are approached. Like the numerous topics about people getting rid of the X10 are completely useless, this is a forum for people who use the X10.

A forum about this phone that disallows talking about possible hardware capabilities or updates isn't a good forum. A better (imo) approach would be to simply follow the forum rules. They're pretty clear on the subject of flaming. Although it might mean more work for moderators I think it would improve the tone of the forums.
[XPERIA X10 General] phoneguy 4567:
The problem is very simple there are multiple threads about the same thing. To solve the problem there could be one sticky created for each recurring topic like:

2.1 Update News/Discussion

MT Discussion/News

If done this way any thread outside the sticky could be deleted or posts moved into the appropriate sticky. Posts within the right topic telling people to stop whining/flaming can be deleted.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Well if I was Mod for a day...

I'd give one warning for creating a duplicate thread... and then for a second instance of rule breaking booooomm.. your barred.

So I reckon you've all got it easy with PiLoT and CVChetan.

I'm really sick of ploughing through all the duplicate/ useless/ no information/ no value threads that some people seem to think is okay to post on here.

It's time to crack that whip!

!!!! ;-) !!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:
@pilot

This is not a personal attack. I am only trying to provide constructive criticism.

I'm with iead1. I think there is way too much moderation going on here. You have deleted many posts (i would love to see a definitive number) and not just mine.

Edit: that's wrong two or three sorry deleted

When i joined this forum it was the same as today, lots of stupid posts and threads. But no one closed them. This is the nature of the internet and society.

When people become faceless (like on a forum or a mob on a street) they do things they wouldn't normally do. Just because you warn them in a sticky doesn't mean they will magically start listening.

My suggestion to you is sit back and relax like the other mods and when things get out of hand (personal attacks,etc) step in. Otherwise just laugh, that's what i do when i see the taboo topics or flames.

Did you stop to think maybe you missed something in your moderation? It was made obvious earlier in this thread.

In conclusion, i really appreciate you trying to make xda a better place but i think you're going the wrong way about it. Why not warn people with pm's or edits to posts? And flaming can be a good thing sometimes. I remember the first time i got flamed. I was slightly upset but in retrospect i deserved it. And i learned from it. And to take care of the flamers (no pun intended) (but i guess with that little quip I'm breaking some rules :p) pm them, if that doesn't work ban them.

I will now step off my soapbox

Edit: no offense Josh if you read this, you know I'm not prejudice.
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
So you closed this thread, that users were talking in, because 1 person was in there with a bad attitude. Some sort of Twitter fanboy that thought this was the main reason 2.1 was better.

Maybe an idea would have been to PM him and tell him if he wasn't interested in the thread then don't view it?
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
“Useless, no information, no value” is a fairly redundant statement which in turn would make it useless, no?

I can understand that duplicates are a pain; some searching should be done first. Deleting threads simply because it isn’t meeting yours or some mods “standards”? Really?

Not everyone here is on the same technological level so threads that may seem useless to some people may be of great interest to others.

I didn’t realize until now that XDA is for elitist only.

BTW I’ve conquered all of my battery issues, car charger issues, SIP issues so if a mod could delete all of the related posts it would be great because now they just annoy me and waste my time.

Forums are powered by users, right?
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
This forum is mostly for developers and light discussion. I for one applaud -PiLoT- because we're all adults and have been on the interwebz long enough to know how to flip through a couple pages to see if our question has already been posted and/or addressed. I'm tired of seeing n00b threads with questions that are already answered in pinned topics. There are already a lot of inane threads going in the x10 sub-forum already and repetitive ones. XDA is Not howardforums.
[XPERIA X10 General] will.m:
You kinda refuted your own complaint there.

Which is fine because there are many helpful and patient members that answer elementary questions.

It isn't elitist, but there's also nothing wrong with keeping the signal to noise ratio low.

False equivalency. Those issues are easily solved and also aren't spammed on a daily basis with similar topics on the front page. Even when the phone was initially released, we weren't inundated with several battery issue topics that flooded the front page.

Yes, but with low signal to noise ratios, otherwise, the forum will sink.
[XPERIA X10 General] NiJunge:
Thats a very good idea and good moderation, instead of banding keep it at one place great :)
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Now you're making some big assumptions about what I consider to be useless...

@will.m... cheers buddy!
[XPERIA X10 General] Gentimp:
Sigh, now that you got rid of the useless 2.1 topics, they went starting with 2.2...:(
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Unfortunately the cure could be worse than the disease in this case. Keeping the legitimate threads sorted from the junk is a pretty time-consuming job.

We'll have to learn to live with it I guess. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
simmer down ones a joke thread and the other is closed
[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:

[XPERIA X10 General] gavriel18:

Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to rag on u.

I really enjoy this forum and I want everyone to enjoy it as much as I do. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] mmsbludhound:
Instead of just relying on the mods' policing, how about we (myself included), the users, learn not to feed the trolls and just ignore any flamebait/annoying topics we come across? Just saying.
[XPERIA X10 General] charliechocolate:
I personally would appreciate it if "joke threads" could also be added to the list. They may amuse some people, but my instinct is that most are annoyed by the false headlines and ultimately disappointing results when viewing the topics.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
@charlie... Seriously? Those threads make many people smile.. they brighten up an otherwise, bizarrely aggressive forum. Think it must be to do with the wide range of consumers that go for the X10... tech geeks... keen amateurs... older people.. kids... lazy people... stupid people... bright people.. etc etc...
[XPERIA X10 General] charliechocolate:
Joice voicing my opinion. The site mods can ultimately decide. Would be much better is if humour intending threads could be tagged accordingly. Whats most frustrating for me is the false headlines.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
thats the point though isnt it

Being mislead into a joke and the occasional light trolling
[XPERIA X10 General] tigger69:
It would be nice if obvious trolls/idiots ie- iHim could be removed before they upset everyone. Some people find it harder not to comment on what these idiots say, though not nessicarily deliberatley feeding the trolls.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
the problem with that is most members would rather engage in futile arguements than reports member
[XPERIA X10 General] mmsbludhound:
I prefer to ignore them altogether.
[XPERIA X10 General] angelahp:
Having previously owned a symbian phone and read and participated in the "all about symbian" forum i have to say that double/multiple postings on the same topic were dealt with very well and very respectfully by both moderators and forum regulars.

They seem to have the right attitude there, gently pointing out that there was already a topic on it and providing the link, you know, in an adult way.

Then i got an x10 and came here to do some research and look for help and frankly i couldn't be more scared to ask for anything, the attitude especially from the moderator was astounding and i often wondered if the site owners was reading his postings. It seemed that when the moderator "had a go" at someone for repeat postings then a whole group of the usual suspects would jump on the bandwagon.

Nasty

Since moving on to an htc desire hd this week i can only hope that when that particular forum on xda starts to get busy the moderator won't feel inclined to beat people up just because they omitted to use the search function, there's ways of doing it and ways of not doing it !!!!

I can honestly say that i won't miss pilot one bit and i hope that he develops a better attitude once he's reached puberty

[XPERIA X10 General] The-Lord:
I really dont care on what he locks, what he deletes..I am least bothered.. till I get the information which I am looking for. Rather than locking posts, he should delete the threads altogether or rather move those to an archive forum section. ALso I *think* vbulletin has a feature called merge.

Due to same issues/info posted in multiple threads, important threads get lost. People should be responsible enough not to multiple post same info in different threads.

PS: People love to hate people with authority. Human mentality. But he has a job to do here to keep the forum tidy. Co-operate.
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
thanks for the recognition

also uve brought up an interesting point

Merge

i rarely use merge as it merges in chronological order, meaning a lot of comments get put in a bad context and can lead to trouble
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Maybe you should stick this at the top of each board and rename the thread "Stop!!!before you post - read this now!!!"
