Read This Before Posting: Last Warning
I asked you guys to drop this. If one more person violates the forum rules, they will be banned, without notice.
And it's time to review a post that I made a while back in this thread:
1.) When it comes to software, this is the only rule we enforce:
Illegal Activities - Do not post, link, discuss, or request warez, serials, ROM's, or illegal copies of intellectual property of others in the Android Central forums.
2.) One of the fundamental advantages of Android is the premise of it being an open platform. If you're a developer this can also be a disadvantage, in that someone could de-compile your application, see all the source code, and then do what they want with it. Unless you secure a copyright on your application; this is a risk you are going to have to take. I have absolutely no clue as to whether or not this is what happened in this case; nor do many of you.
3.) We are not going to get in the middle of he said/she said accusations, nor will we allow posts that are not conducive in nature. These posts will be deleted, and if necessary, infractions will be issued if they violate rules related to personal attacks, trolling, thread crapping, or not making relevant posts.
4.) This is an unfortunate situation. On both sides, of this debate, there appears to be a history of development, support, and credibility. Ideally, I would like everyone to participate. In fact, one of my top priorities has been to attract and support developers in the forums, and it's very discouraging when I come across something like this.
So, what I'd like to ask is that nobody makes another post related to who did or didn't give/take credit. This is something we cannot police. We monitor our forums, not others.
There was another thread opened specifically dedicated toward attacking another individual in this forum. I don't care how angry you are with someone - this is absolutely unacceptable - and I would take offense if anyone feels we are somehow being unfair by pointing this out. Get this argument out of the forums, and get back on topic. Check out IRC - as I believe there are no rules in the chat rooms.
