Alright, here's how it is. As predicted, the Sensation 4G forums have exploded with both development and new users. While a good majority of us here are from other devices/have been around XDA for awhile as this is an advanced device, there are also many, MANY new users here aswell. As such, the following apply not only to new users but to EVERYONE:

1-READ AND ABIDE BY THE XDA RULES.

2-READ THE STICKIES BEFORE POSTING *ANYTHING*.

3-*ALWAYS* USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION BEFORE POSTING A NEW THREAD.

4-POST QUESTIONS STRICTLY WITHIN THE Q&A SECTION.

5-IF YOU SEE SOMETHING AMISS, REPORT IT, *DO NOT FLAME OTHER USERS*.

Now onto the meat of this announcement. Moderation within the S4G forums are about to be kicked up a notch. Flaming has become a real problem around here, and will no longer be tolerated in any way. Simply put, you flame, your post gets deleted and you get infracted. No chances, no taking it back.

Now you may be saying, "o derp, i dont care about infarctions. tey dont meen anything". Keep this in mind, get enough infractions...and you get permabanned.

tl;dr-ANY user seen flaming, for ANY reason WHATSOEVER, WILL be infracted, no questions asked. If you see a user either flaming or being flamed, please use the report post function and send any of your moderators(myself, badwolve1 or benko) a PM and let us know what is going on. Likewise if you are being flamed, please speak up and let us know whats going on but DO NOT flame the flamer back.

Likewise, now that we have S-OFF and ROOT there is NO REASON that threads relating to either of these things that isn't about their development or enhancement, or a SPECIFIC problem you are encountering should be posted. If you have a general QUESTION about either, please post it within the Q&A forum. If you have development for either, post within the DEVELOPMENT section, of course be sure to adhere to the naming guidelines within the dev forum if you do so. New thread relating to ANYTHING about S-OFF that isn't development/issue related WILL be closed, and repeat offenders will be infracted.

tl;dr for the entire post-read and follow the rules and everything will be peachy.


This thread is closed and this subject is not open for public discussion. If you have any beef, please PM me directly here at XDA.
