Good evening,@mrrocketdog Thanks for your interesting question.just curious , since every post has a "report" button and there is a "spam reporting" thread , which would mods rather see used?
I'd view it from this position. The "spam thread" is more meant to report spam accounts but not posts. For this reason the spam thread is subscribed by many Senior Moderators (SM) to immediately address such accounts. I don't know if any of our Forum Specific Moderators (FSM) have subscribed to that thread because FSM don't have powers to ban an account.
On the other hand, the report button of a post guarantees that the next available FSM (or SM) is alerted if the post violates any of the forum rules be it non-English, bad conduct etc.
Please feel free to contact me privately if my explanation is unclear.
Regards
Oswald Boelcke

All the approved media sites are these:I KNOW what I am doing. I want that for everything cuz making yt music compatiblity better. Your link was from Joyful, not Joyful - Topic
YouTube Music is included as YouTube I guess... All links I tried working fine as@NOSS8 already mentioned.
However, even if it wasn't included, this wasn't going to happen like anything else in XDA which requires even the minimum code change. Last year I asked to add GIF Tenor on the approved sites butthis is the answer I got, and this is the answer for every change on XDA these days.
Nothing gonna be changed...try to contact Valnet. I doubt they will reply.
I'd like to request for thetopic I created regarding the newly announced Android Canary channel to be cross-posted/redirect links added created to all of the Pixel phone categories that are currently supported, due to the discussion being relevant to all of them. I wasn't able to decide which category to initially post it in so I went with general. Even then it still feels like it doesn't really fit as this is specific to a subset Pixel devices, it was the best I could think of. Unless there does happen to be a better one that I missed it could be moved to?
I know that would make for quite a lot of redirects, perhaps the most that has ever been created for a single topic on XDA being that it would encompass 15 phone models (though some share a single category which reduces the number a bit), I hope that shouldn't be an issue? It is kind of big news after all that I would say justifies/warrants it to give it a reason aside from just relevance.

Oh for sure you are not the only one with a lot of redirects to a single topicI'd like to request for thetopic I created regarding the newly announced Android Canary channel to be cross-posted/redirect links added created to all of the Pixel phone categories that are currently supported, due to the discussion being relevant to all of them.

The friendly@Badger50 had helped me in the past, to cross-post myGalaxy S4 Collection & Guides to all the variants of it....and they were a lot! But any mod could help with this.
You could also save some time from mods and do it alone, by creating threads to each of the Pixel devices and redirect them to your main thread.
Then ask mods to close these threads, so any conversation which will happen, to be on your main thread-topic and not being split..

Haha, good to know as I was a little worried what I was asking for might have been kinda unreasonable.Oh for sure you are not the only one with a lot of redirects to a single topic

For some reason I had it in my head that a redirect link existed as a separate object from a thread, but I only just remembered how one moderation tool that forums typically have is to close and merge a thread with another, with an option of creating a redirect link to the merged thread. (Like many I rarely visit forums compared to the past). Unless there happened to be a "Create link to" posting option which I don't think I've ever seen a forum have, I guess the only way is to create and then close and redirect the threads? Just one of the cumbersome reasons why the internet outgrew forums I guess (though as a side note, I personally view Discourse to be what would happen if you created a forum software but combine it with the things that made other discussion platforms popular. It's just too bad that it still won't ever be able to reach the heights it once used to).
Anyway, I went ahead and created the topics, self-reporting as I went. Thanks@Badger50 for diligently seeing to them. The only downside was how many times I broke the matrix by continually hitting the limit for creating new topics in quick succession.
You know actually, perhaps having separate topics would have been better as people might have preferred to want to talk abut how it was on their device specifically. Ah well. They can still do it in the one shared topic, and create separate threads when new builds come out.

- Username Change - Send a PM to eitherMikeChannon orthe_scotsman in the first instance. Be sure to include what you would like your name changed to, and also why you want it changed. Providing that information in the initial PM will save us a reply asking for it.There is no official limit on name changes, but keep it reasonable or you'll be stuck.

Report it, and move along.38Last 3-4 of my 6 post reports have been dismissed without even getting "review"ed (I checked back the post by clicking on "report post" button and it doesnt even show "this post has been reported" notice). What could be reason to this? I want to think that it is not personal...
They were reviewed. Sometimes moderators take no action, as they think that none is required. It's not personal, don't worry about it30I am unable to private message anyone on xda website, only the option to send by email.
What do you mean?
What way are you trying to send a Private message?
You can go to yourPM Inbox and New Private Message, and send a PM to anyone.
But if you click on someone's username in the forums, and you don't see the Private Message option, that person has disabled allowing other members to send them a PM.
