Lately we've had a rash of problems within the M8/S5 forums as expected with any new flagship(s) release. We always prepare to handle obvious baiting & trolling, personal insults and poor forum etiquette that takes place during these times.
First and most important is following the
Community Rules & Guidelines.
Keep in mind we follow a common approach to addressing situations.
- Posts are reported by a member ( Entire Mod team & Admin is notified by email )
- Initial situation is addressed either via PM, in thread warning or non point warning infraction issued.
- If above fails, ignored or met with resistance then based per situation an infraction is issued.
- As outlined ? in thread complaints/rants ? about Mod team and/or received infractions is frowned upon and often derails a thread that otherwise could have been productive.
To sum things up we don?t ban a member based on one single post as some would like you to believe. Again, refer to the rules linked above and it explains how things are done.
As moderators we are volunteers that enjoy this as you do. We are not paid, were not directed to push any particular device or OEM and despite as some would think were not ? biased ? , ? forum police/officers ? or heavy handed in general. We discuss everything as a team, make our decisions as a team and assure you no secrets or personal vendetta?s take place.
Always keep in mind you can contact the Moderator Team Leader (Paul627g) via PM or directly reach out to our Community Manager, James Falconer at

On a better note... we have just recently revived our old ? Phone Wars ? section of the forums. This is a place where we encourage those who like to discuss or debate will visit and take part in. Our attempt is to allow the carrier/device specific areas of the forums to continue with the normal general discussions and questions and have the more heated and interesting conversations move over to the Phone Wars areas where its more appropriately catered to heated and passionate discussions & debates.
If interested the link below gives a little introduction to the Phone Wars section. Looking forward to seeing you there.
