[Help / Complaint] Threatened on Xda-Developers.com - What should I do? - About xda-developers.com

Hi guys,
I am a bit cheesed off by this Private Message I received from this individual "eleron" - please see the attached screenshot of my message folder.
This is the first time after so many years of using Xda-Developers that I have received such threats.
Moderators, can you please advice? Senior members?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

This type of issue should always be handled by PM. I suggest forwarding the PM in question to your local forum moderator where it was posted and letting them handle it. Please do not post problems like this publicly as it doesn't help to get it resolved generally. I would suggest removing the screen shot from your post above.

Thanks, I have already contacted the moderator.

Pls report the PM. No moderator will action a forwarded PM.
Use the triangle button on the top right corner of the PM and click send.
Cheers!

I was posting a solution to fix annoying wi-fi issues with Samsung Galaxy I 9000 with images but the forum is not allowing me to post ? I plan to contribute a full series of problem fixes with this particular device. Can any mod allow images only (no links to other sites) for my account ?

New Device Rom Request - LG G Vista

I've seen the root request, which has been Solved, but have not seen a formal request for a Custom Rom.
It's a great phone but sure would be nice to be Google & other garbage-free.
Thanks!

Hello,
I have a question regarding the Pling.com if is allowed in XDA or not. According to rule XDA Rule 13 Pay-Per-Click links does not allowed, and that's true till Monday which I reported a thread for link there.
The moderator removed the thread from public view but few hours later it was back and today I got a notification that XDA is now allow Pling.com as File Host. I have nothing against the moderator but I want to be sure if it's allowed or not since I cannot find anywhere this change which XDA announces that pling.com is allowed.
Thanks.

Edit: Yes, Pling is permitted, I'm not sure we have a public thread available, but an announcement was made to the staff.

Yeap I can't see the thread but I see the title of the link which is saying enabling-pling-on-xda.
Thanks for the clarification.

My mistake, that thread was presented to the RD's as a source of opinion.
To answer your question: Yes, Pling is an approved file host. At some point I imagine we will have a public announcement.

Hello and good morning.
From your screenshots I see that @Funk Wizard was the acting moderator. What occured was that during the handling of the first report, the decision about pling.com was still under discussion in the responsible moderators body and as such pending, although all moderators were already aware that such a discussion was ongoing.
Then the discussion was finally made yesterday and announced to all moderators; the reason why the next, new report was now handled as done by Funk.

Just for your information: I've removed the link from the quotation in your post because it referred to a forum with limited access.

Hello Oswald,
Yes, this is what I imagined after the clarification of V0latyle.
Nothing against the moderator Funk. I just wanted to be sure because I maintain a collection & guides thread (like this) and some ROMs / Kernels are hosted there, so I can include them.
Thanks for your time looking at this and for the detailed explanation.

I'm fully aware that you didn't complain about @Funk Wizard and I'm convinced nobody read it that way. Actually, anything different had wondered me because Funk was perfectly correct with all his action.
And affirmative, at your own discretion you can certainly now add links to pling.com to your repo's, collections or guides. We highly appreciate that you keep them up to speed.

Pling now accepted on XDA. Does that mean it's no longer considered as a Pay-Per-Click link.

Affirmative, we now accept it as a filehost on XDA. If you go to opendesktop.org payout terms & conditions it's a paid-per-download site, and we're well aware. We discussed it lengthly, under consideration of multiple aspects and feedback from our recognised developers.

Blacklist for Auto Banning Spammer / Flooder

Really there is no one black list for auto banning spammers and flooders?
Why not implement it NOW ?
That's so simple and so easy.
C'mon mods and devs, just make it happen.
Thank you

@VD171 With the ammount of spam daily coming in I fully understand your impressions; however, please allow me to assure you that we have and use "tools" to defeat spammers you just don't recognise them - and for obvious reasons we don't promote them or share information publicly. But I'm convinced without these tools your experience would be worse.
May we suggest some strings to be added to the filter?
