Hello people, I am ashasaur or Christian, whichever you prefer, and I am your new moderator. I've been at XDA for many years, and I hope to be of some help to you all. Over the next few days I am going to be cleaning and consolidating these forums a little bit to get rid of some of the clutter. If there are some of you around here that have been in the Fascinate forums for some time and would like to offer me some assistance, please feel free to do so. Likewise, if any of you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to inform me!

I don't mean to be rude or anything... im very glad to finally have a mod here.

But i was wondering, why do they give moderator-ship to you in a forum for a phone you don't even have?

(Please don't read this wrong i don't mean disrespect in any way.)

Great to have you.

Yeah, it would be nice if the devs would put dates on there updates. Some of the devs have started doing this already but not all.

Also it would be nice if the telus fascinate got its own forum. I've seen more than one person try to put their roms and kernels on a verizon fascinate without knowing there was a difference.

Moderating isn't so much about having the device in the forum you are moderating, as it is...well...moderating. I don't own an HTC Rose either, and I have been mod there for around 8 months. I am well versed in the Galaxy S family as 3 of my family members own various ones, including a Fascinate, and I personally run Android on my HD2. No offense taken as it is a valid question.

I am noticing that the releases here don't have dates in their titles, and that is something that needs to be fixed. I am on it like white on rice I tell you! It's going to be the new rule that ALL releases must follow the standard XDA naming scheme that we have adopted, or the threads will be renamed by your's truly.

As far as the Telus Fascinate is concerned, I will look into the matter.

Thanks folks.

+1,000,000 on a Q&A subforum. We need that more than anything else. It'd not only cut back on clutter but keep people from being "rude" or "jerks" (as someone else had said) when responding because there'd be much less chance of questions ending up in the wrong area--which, as we all know,is a hot-button issue.

In addition to this, people who want to help others by answering questions would have to actually seek out that subforum as opposed to just browsing and coming across one of the vast number of question threads in the general section (and since these people are in the Q&A section willingly they should be in a helping mood already).

Just my two-cents.

Although this was already touched on, allow me to elaborate. While we sometimes appoint Forum Mods in their device.home, that is not always possible. In fact, moderators tend to be most effective when outside their comfort zone, as this allows them to be objective.

All right people. In order for a Q&A forum to be added, there has to be more than 10,000 posts in the General forum...so we have a ways to go yet. Rest assured though, I am going to crack down on the questions in the Dev section.
