XDA brass has decided to terminate Mr. Mars as a moderator. I truly believe he added professionalism and great knowledge to our threads. Thank you Mr. Mars for you numerous hours of volunteered time to our community! You will be missed!

This is a sad day, just ridiculous, and sad. Great xda, clap clap clap
Truly a great mod. Always helpful and full of resources.

I agree with all of you.. He made my life easier.. maybe the xda brass will reconsider if we all continue to let them know how valuable he was to us!

Very sad day in the history of XDA... Gibbs me dats...I'm gonna C out.. Although he didn't get paid for being a Mod, he worked here like he did... He was always, a delight to read and talk to... He made all of our threads better by keeping it light but informative, with his own unique and colorful play on words.. He made XDA a better place for all, with his good natured but extensive knowledge.
I really thought he would be around to help the next gen of Devs and members.. I know he will be back better than ever... Jay C

Agree with everything above, dude is on point and is always here to help and guide people... Curious as to the who, what, when, where and why though... I have to say the forums that I am part of, this phone forum definitely has more drama then I have ever seen... It's too bad to, what these devs and other people bring to not just our devices is amazing, yet petty bickering gets blown up and leads to craziness...

Why was he demoted? There must've been a logical reason for such a decision. I'm an Admin at a car forum and such a decision is only made for a compelling and reasonable reason.

Is XDA a transparent outfit? Do they explain their decisions to the community? Does freedom of speech, transparency, democracy... are these things XDA champion? I would imagine all of what I mentioned helps the dev community flourish no? Is XDA a strong dictatorship where we can't question them? Can we as members have a clear explanation why he is gone? Strong regimes discourages creativity.
Freedom of speech or nothing. Liberty or death. Born free, hope to die free.
*edit* Once again, I'm taking a screen shot of this comment in case for whatever reason it somehow disappears... Suppressing speech is something dictatorships do.
I see that Micmars is still posting so I am glad about that. He has helped me and countless others, so hopefully by not having administrator tasks, he will be more free to provide his valuable assistance to all of us.

Let's talk about some of these comments for a second...first off XDA is not a public company with stock holders to answer to and disclosure regarding staff. If Micmars wants to let you know what happened that is up to him. XDA is NOT transparent with regards to staff actions...we respect each members privacy and do not discuss any actions regarding a member whether a moderator, RC, RD, or members. This is a private site with membership and a set of rules. There should be no illusion of free speech here....there are rules to follow and some of those do indeed restrict what you might consider "free speech." Again...private site, forum rules, not a democracy. You do have a right to respectfully question actions...we would really prefer it to be in private rather than disrupt threads...but no one censors respectful questions. Staff interactions and disciplinary actions have little affect on the development community and are always done to better development as this is a development site created by developers for developers. Everything we do are in the best interests of developers and development as best we can.

There is no doubt Micmars is an awesome contributor...otherwise he would not have made Recognized Contributor on the exact day he was eligible, nor make it into the moderator staff in record time. We all hope the best for him and REALLY hope he continues to do what he loves and help members. This is his true calling as he is one of the most helpful members any of us have seen. As stated we will not discuss the demotion, that is to protect Micmars privacy the same as we do not say "XXX123 got an infraction for warez." I will say that all moderators have people to answer to. We have very strict guidelines we follow and a very high level of trust. There is no "blue wall"...moderators do not have "free reign" to do as they like. We are all in teams of 8-12 members and like a Japanese mind set, we do not allow any member to bring dishonor to the rest...not to say that happened, Micmars knows and accepts responsibility like a true stand-up member for what happened. We wish him well and look forward to see him plugging away helping members any way he can!

Hi Moderator,
Don't take me otherwise. While I am surfing this forum, I can see hell lots of stupid things floating around. Some Rom threads are filing with stupid personal arguments. Lots of threads need to be close as thread's purpose has resolved. If you want I can point it out for you. we know you are doing your job and believe me you are good at it. What I request you is do some initiative to avoid these silly stuffs.
Senior Members,
it's kinda hard to maintain a forum for anyone. As our device a budget phone yet powerful, so we are having hell lots of user and their queries. So
Urge you please give some suggestions so that we can avoid spaming, can also be beneficial for new and senior members.
Aside to new users,
Guys keep your queries thread specific.
Thank you

If the devs could moderate at least their own threads, it would be a different story altogether. Those ROM/kernel threads could be shrinked 80% in size and only useful stuff left.
(Still would not solve the useless junk elsewhere but one could ignore it.)
Dear moderator, could you kindly go through the major development threads (current ROMs, franco kernel) and wipe all the bloody noise outta there.
I will not use a report post function because about every second post is off-topic n00b crap that plain does not belong there, so your PM inbox would get full soon. Not to mention that apparently noone cares about the crippled "report post" function that was discussed in xda-general.
This forum is becoming seriously harmed by useless noise. Some action, please!!!

Just wanted to say thank you for the support in my threads. It seems my thread stalker has serious issues. Unfortunately my thread was deleted before I got to read what you said, but I appreciate the backup. I hate to say it but the childish ones have turned this forum into flame heaven. A few developers have already left as well as several members. I swear the average owner of this phone must be 12 years old or just have no friends.
This being the general section people can pretty much post what they want as there are posts about tablets and other things that have nothing to do with the 3d. That is the point of having a general section.
Anyway, I hate the fact my thread was closed as I wanted you guys to see the new note. It is truly an awesome device and although not everyone is interested in it, there were several people who were and sent me pm's.
Although I spend most of my time in the Note forums now I do check in here to see what is happening as I have gotten to know several of you guys and many of you have helped me out over the months.
I wish everyone could get along and the internet wrestling would stop. There are friends to be made here and people out to help.

Not thread stalking you, just trying to keep the EVO 3D section to relevant posts that help the community. Coming in and starting a thread pretty much bragging that you got a new phone does nothing for the community. And then starting a new thread complaining about it when it gets deleted, what else is there to say? I can't even count how many threads of yours got deleted or moved because of my statement above. I am sorry that you think that I thread stalk you, but man, you make it soooooooooo easy.

Well look who it is, the loser thread stalker asshat . And for the smart ones who talk about clogging up the forum I guess the threads about what tablets to get, what ROM is the best or the ones about other phones comparing to the 3d are ok, right? You morons make no sense nor do your arguments. like I told panda, the average age of owners of the 3d is like 12 especially since your points have no logic nor do they make sense. The best thing is you continue to prove my point with your ignorant posts

Or, look at my posts and see that helpful, productive members of the community also do not condone these types of threads. There is a standard that should be upheld here by all of XDA
members.
General section is for general threads ABOUT the evo 3D. That is why it is the Evo 3D general section.
This position that you have that "everyone should like what I have to say", or "what I say is better then <insert anything>" is childish.
You are why this place is going downhill, not because of the people who have gown impatient with your frivolous threads, posts, etc...

Lmao, ask around, I bet people loved that thread. It was quite great. Unfortunately, I didn't take the time to see if there was already a similar thread, hence it was closed.
So, good job, you cite a thread that was to help the members of the community....
Also, that just goes to show, that in fact, you Sir, are the 12 year old girl. Maybe 13, but meh, the exactness is moot.
What satisfaction do you get from the constant barrage of XDA? Does it make you feel special to 'win' arguments,
over the internet, with people you have never met, and likely never will?
Did you not get enough love as a child? Are you picking obnoxious fights with strangers to somehow fill that gap?
Or possibly, did you get too much love? Did someone make you feel too special, to the point where you thought you mattered?
Either way, it is old, it is annoying, and everyone would appreciate if you handed daddy back his computer
Oh for goodness sake. Can we stop with the childish petty arguing.
Is it really a surprise to you that these threads keep getting closed?
Take it to PM and sort out the issue. Don't start yet another crappy thread.
Yeah, I'm about to get flamed, sorry about it. After the treatment shown recently to developers and other established and respected XDA members, as well as the closing of GOOD threads, anybody else on board for a 100 post requirement for privileges to post or reply in all development forums?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
NO. I've already had reason to post in the Dev forum, and have not been able to due to not enough posts. IMO, it's pretty dumb.
I have no idea what you're talking about re: the treatment stated, however.
It'll just cause more bs in the general and less feedback to devs for their work too. Most of threads that get locked in there are not because of ppl that have low post counts. It's typically the ones with the higher counts that will do it...

That would lead to 10x more useless posts in the other sections (general, themes, etc.)

People... Think....
For one second get in the shoes of a moderator. In a site like xda which has far drifted from its original intents, everyone needs to understand that with the level of access people have today to technology and the lack of respect and good maners, it makes it very complicated to manage a site like this.
The job the moderators has is a tough one because they have to be the un-friendly people most of the time.
I don't personally agree with the 100 post for dev forum, but I do understand where they are coming from with this. Think for a second the amount of low level educated people and trolls that traffic this place? People that just like to follow their impulse and not the rules?
It's easy for us whom follow the rules to see it as a pain, but consider what had to happen in order for it to get to this place?
Let's give credits to the mods, their trying to maintain order in a city of chaos.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
The 10 post thing is good for the noobs. So they don't put a question in the wrong section like a question about cases in the Dev section.
Nothing is wrong with it takes some time and reading but folks get the hang of it soon.
I wouldn't mind the 100 post thing, but not for ANY post, just specifically for creating new threads in that section.

Do the roms that are built for the N7000 work for the SAMSUNG-SGH-I717?? I only ask because...
1.) The I7I7 has only one ROM available and its not ICS where as the N7000 has several ROMs available.
2.) I know its possible because I run Desire HD roms on my HTC Inspire.

Apples and oranges. The Desire HD and Inspire 4G are basically the same phone. The hardware is the same except for some minor differences with the sound hardware. The international Note and ATT Note are completely different phones. The only thing they have in common is the size, screen, pen and they have similar cases. That's it. Everything else is different.

Absolutely questionable response and uncalled for...even suggesting that isnt humorous and maybe you should be concerned as to what people will perceive about you. Im just about sick and tired of all the rudeness and blatant self rightgeousness on these forums, members need to show some self-respect by not being rude. This forum has some NEW RULES as the base subscriber is no longer DEVELOPMENT ONLY the majority of us are not developers...they have their own section for each device to which noobs are restricted and should be, so giving people and noobs a hard time for something posted in the GENERAL and Q&A sections is ridiculous, so maybe show a little restraint if you choose not to help and just move on without posting anything!
Listen, I know a lot of noobs and others make mistakes and dont follow the rules but why jump on them outside of the DEV's threads? If you do as a senior or junior member then you also are breaking the rules!
NEW Forum & Marketplace Rules;
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

Best advice is found in post #3
Absolutely questionable response and uncalled for...even suggesting that isnt humorous and maybe you should be concerned as to what people will perceive about you. Im just about sick and tired of all the rudeness and blatant self rightgeousness on these forums, members need to show some self-respect by not being rude. This forum has some NEW RULES as the base subscriber is no longer DEVELOPMENT ONLY the majority of us are not developers...they have their own section for each device to which noobs are restricted and should be, so giving people and noobs a hard time for something posted in the GENERAL and Q&A sections is ridiculous, so maybe show a little restraint if you choose not to help and just move on without posting anything!
Listen, I know a lot of noobs and others make mistakes and dont follow the rules but why jump on them outside of the DEV's threads? If you do as a senior or junior member then you also are breaking the rules!
NEW Forum & Marketplace Rules;
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.

It also says USE THE SEARCH BUTTON because what you are asking might have been mentioned 100 times + the fact that there are two different forums for these 2 phones should tell one that these phones ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT!

I did search but was unlucky upon finding something. There are 2 forums for the Desire HD and for the HTC Inspire but the Inspire can ROM Desire HD ROMS so I wasn't sure. Better to ask than ruin a brand new 300 dollar phone....

Being a bit of a newb myself. I wondered if anyone agrees that there should be at separate Q&A for noob (novice) questions only.
Therefore more experienced users can filter out stupid questions that even I think is ridiculous. Leaving the Q&A for real problems, rather than simple and stupid questions like "how do I flash a new modem" etc. I propose this idea in all platforms and models.
I felt as a true noob, some time ago that people are very quick to snap at noobs. Leaving them feeling like quitting and giving up. As a community member I feel this is an issue. Having a Q&A for noobs I hope would not leave noob questions unanswered.. just only given advice from willing and helpful members. Leaving experienced or dare I say selfish user the freedom they desire, and the noobs that extra bit of support.
After all, this is a community and we are "supposed" to be helpful. And we all started without any knowledge atall. I am eager to hear your responses.. both noobs and pro devs.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank me if you agree or better still, post your thoughts. Thanks for your patience in reading my rant

I don't think it's in the intrests of XDA to segregate people, and brand them as "noobs" just because they are new. I've seen alot of new users learn very quickly and become very respected developers

To be honest most ppl brand themselves as noobs. I feel I am learning very quickly, currently learning java. Some people just don't have the patience. Can't be bothered to search. As I have learnt in my experiences that you have to be very patient and start all over again often. As for people who don't search.. that's just pure laziness. Ah well the strong will prevail..

There's a difference between being "noob friendly" and catering to the minority of what is already a minority. Let's not forget XDA's origins as a DEVELOPER site. The directions provided by devs are almost always complete enough that anyone willing to put in 5 minutes worth of effort to use the search button is able to figure it out.

I agree that we shouldnt be spoon feeding people. I have gathered knowledge in android and developing massivly over the past few weeks. And i have xda to thanks. Already a senior member and learnt so much more than what i could have ever imagined.
Android is the future! And xda is playing a big part in molding its future. So a massive thumbs up!
I did however encounter some very rude members how could have easily directed me to the rules sticky. We do not need noob Q&A. We jus need to give polite gentle nudges in the right direction, if they are just plain lazy...
Throw em in with the pack of bitter xda "originals" for all i care. as they are branding xda as a "fix my fone" forum. Not as what i hear it was back in the day..
