Thanks Red5. I think you are doing a great job. For a long time it felt like there weren't any mods in this section. I feel like not only is Red5 present, but he contributes to threads too, he's not just a mod, he's one of us. I also enjoy his great sense of humor, bringing a human appearance to the moderating of this forum.
Again, Thanks Red5!

My answer is yes, but like K Rich put it, the last option is too funny.
I haven't been a member for very long, but I have been in many different forums and I can attest of what a good mod is and Red5 is one of them.

I approve of Red5. Most mods just close a thread, but he throws in a usually hilarious and sarcastic comment while he does it.

I would like to introduce myself to the Devs as your new Forum Moderator. My goal here will be to keep the threads clean, and on topic. All Devs are welcome to contact me on this thread, through PM or gtalk ([email protected]).
XDA wouldn't exist with the Devs. As your moderator, I will do my best to meet any needs or concerns you may have. It's my way if giving back to all the work you freely give.
This thread is strictly for Dev's ONLY. Non Devs can contact me through PM or through the Sticky In the General section.

noob posts question in development section, asking which ROM is best, when he has obviously used none of them.
also asks if there are 4.0 ROMs available... there is a thread titled:
[Rom] Newts One S *RC 3* (Sense 4.0 ICS 4.0.3) 5/9/2012(Daily Driver)
sitting right at the top of the forum he posted his question in...
hence, my edited remarks.
Get off your fu*king lazy ass and look through the forums!
We are not here just sitting around to serve you!
I have a suggestion......maybe post in the right forum.
Why don't we help instead of flaming him? He made an honest mistake and it happens to the best of us. I personally love mean rom for sense 3.0 and if you want ice cream sandwich sense then go with viper rom beta 3. Enjoy

I'm not judging each and every person. Just a handful of them. And with each mistake I make, it seems like more and more come out of the woodwork.
I would like to make a request to the community.
We, as a community really need to shape-up. This place is absolutely crazy. There are harmless threads that turn into spam and people complaining about aosp. The fact is we need to stop this. All of you know you hate this too but stooping down to the level of these trolls only makes things worse.
What we really need is for the mod team to really come down hard on this place. Not just the trolls but everyone. Everyone has a role in this.
People need to be infracted or banned or whatever and these threads need to be sent to the damn trash.
This isn't just a job for the mods either. Users need to stop feeding the fire that trolls start.
We need to take the initiative to shape up before this community goes down as the one that scared everyone off and died. Seriously think about it...
I've been wondering why people aren't banned.

Mikion and Chef Holmes have both been temporarily disabled I think. They both flamed the hell out of all Joelz's threads.
I don't get what the dispute is between XDA and The MikMik. They're both resources for Android development so it makes no sense? If it were Android vs iOS, maybe I'd understand more but this is lunacy.
Developers such as Newt and Scott both frequent both sites and share their work on both so what's the big deal?

The mods are still around. I posted a farewell thread the other day and decided to change the title of the OP and tell everyone about it (sorry about that by the ways guys).
Now that thread has been completely removed, so they're definitely still active...

Yep, and every time someone tries to bring up the xda drama the mods/admins tell everyone to stop. They are definitely taking the high road for the most part.
My opinion, we need to just stop already. These threads are just giving validity to our reputation. We all just need to relax, be respectful to each other, and show some appreciation for the work that the devs do for us for free.
As for the dev on dev public fighting - this just needs to not be tolerated. Period. Either take it to PM, or just shrug your shoulders and say "meh" and keep on keeping on. The only thing the public fighting does is get the rest of the community fired up and then the bashing amongst the devs fans starts. I think the public dev fighting is what really tarnishes this community. Their are always *****y, ungrateful, douchebags within the normal every day users. Everyone just needs to ignore them and let the mod team handle it.
My .02 cents of course.
I have been using this forum for about 3 months now and I would have to say that the Droid X2 forum is one of the best on xda. Developers on this forum have more patience with everybody than I ever could. Whenever a question is asked you can guarantee it will be answered quickly with an explanation that doesn't try to make you look stupid. I have been messing with my friends phone and the forum for his phone, not going to name, is nowhere near as helpful or friendly as this one. In my opinion the attitude of this forum is what draws individuals to learn and progress.

I just noticed that another dev has left over a bunch of bull. I don't understand this forum for this device. I have had this phone for just under a month and seems like devs drop it right and left. I may get dropped from this site for speaking my opinion, but I find this place gets more childish as time goes on. I think it is great we have moderation, but there's a point when it goes over board. I'm seeing more and more devs not even posting there work here. Shame a great site is going down so quikly.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Not sure of what happened exactly, but on any forum, the mods are the ones responsible for keeping everyone in check. With that being said, I think that we have too few mods here, because it looks like things got out of hand way before the mods closed the thread or really did anything.
More mods means that someone might have been able to calm everyone down, or at least punish the offending party satisfactorily. There should never be a thread closed for something as great as the Devs make here because of some jackoff who ruins it for everyone.
I know that the mods can't be everywhere all the time....but maybe a few more wouldn't hurt.
Just something to think about.
Edit: fee to few*

+1. I feel worse, because I was flashing stuff and I didn't get the updated PAC before it disappeared. I hope the next phone I get is something he'll be working on. Also blows because I was looking forward to the FirefoxOS that he had in the works.
I know he's not the only good dev, but he -was- a good one.
Listen he left to go dev for the note 2 which is the device he just picked up.
Everyone needs to stop with the drama.
By that I mean each dev is free to do as they please and go where they want. This garbage last night was just that and it will be dropped as of this post
Mazda's threads are set up correctly and credited correctly. He is GPL compliant and there are no issues
Jamie's comments last night...while having a little merit should have been dealt with in private and not brought into a public forum.
Unless you have the whole story between these two devs (which 99.999% of u do not) then I'd recommend minding ur business and not starting more issues or taking sides as its not ur place nor do u have any idea what your talking about.
Feel free to contact me via pm if u wish to ask me questions...if I don't answer then that means its none of ur business.
