Meh this Matriak guy might have been doing some good, but he was bossing people around and telling people off like he was a mod/dev, and that's pretty much undoes any good he was doing. This kind of drama doesn't really belong on a forum, especially a mobile phone forum....
No he wasn't, he was simply trying to keep his own topic on point and without spam.
He never came off like he thought highly of himself - he came off like a guy who just wanted to do a good thing for this community, and cared about keeping crap out of his thread.
Do I think he went about it in the most effective way possible? No. Do I think everyone here all of a sudden bad mouthing him is representative of what happened to XDA? Yes.
You lot are an ungrateful bunch.
