Official Off-Topic Thread

Hi to all from the moderation team. With a fast growing community there is a massive amount of general off topic chit chat going around in this forum. So we thought it best to give all a place to have a chat. This should hopefully take some pressure off the forums, so making it a better place for us all as there should be less junk to wade through trying to find what we need.

Now with that said, this does not mean there are no rules to this thread. All of XDA rules still apply. Flaming and the belittling of other users (of any title) will not be tolerated and dealt with harshly by the moderation team. This should be a fun place for us all to have a chat and a general vent of frustrations. Any moderation issues should still be handled by PM.

Let the fun begin!

Yes we are having our indian thread in every forum. I think mods are trying to avoid the spam and troll before the devices release.

its not right to close that thread as almost every devices on xda have Indian or other countries thread separately...so please open it

O_G · Oct 2, 2012

OK Guys, i hear you. The intention was not to only shut the Indian thread. It was shut because it was not titled as a Indian availability thread more a review/specs thread that i wanted to pull all together into one place. The OP is even written as such, so its very misleading. If its misleading to me then it most certainly is to a new user. So we have two options here, either open a new properly titled thread or the original one gets edited by the OP to make it a availability thread, which is fine.

Personally at this point i think a new one would be better, with the OP written with a current availability and a proper title. This would be much more helpful for all, as wading through all the previous old posts would be tiresome.

As i said, i am working to make this forum a nice place for all users, hence the pooling of information in the sticky threads. What i dont need is PMs that some of which can come across as very pushy. I do not respond to these sort of PMs. I am not saying i dont want to hear users suggestions, they are appreciated. Just try to do it in a polite informative manner, i am more than willing to negotiate. Not saying all the PMs were pushy, just a couple, so dont be offended.

So what are your thoughts, anybody up for starting a nice informative OP for a Indian availability thread?

chaitanya87 · Oct 2, 2012

Its been settled, drop it! I have explained the reasons why it was closed. You just stirring more trouble up is not going to help your cause. My advice has not been taken and the OP of the new thread is still not up to the standard. Now i suggest you read before posting again!

I just read your valuable comments....u said their i should rename that thread title to get that in business again...But can u tell me how can i rename the title of that thread i asked u because u locked that thread...

Sir, please understand the Moderator put in place threads for the entire Community, not just for your needs or requests. Reread O_G post, and move on...be understanding that the allowing of an OT and a few others threads is welcomed.
If this doesn't stop of "my thread...my thread"...The Moderator Team could just result in shutting down ALL non development threads down, and use what others deem as an iron fist type solution. This is not a threat, just an ask of compliance by understanding the "big" picture.
Additionally, I will ask all do not PM me requesting or wanting me to reevaluate another Moderator actions. As the actions taken here I fully support.

Enough said, thank you all for your time in this matter. Move on...
