It's been maybe a year or so since I brought this up. Zelendel put a thread for most of the captivate roms in the the forum's q&a. Nowadays you see lots of discussion threads in general. Both those keep dev talk in dev.
I'm just requesting that the SMs pass word down to the FSMs under them to maybe suggest to devs and teams they have under them to make either a dedicated [email protected]/discussion thread for their rom. It's a trend I see that ought to be encouraged further.
Even the RCs can make one for a rom they use that doesn't already have one. It just keeps the place clean and points noobs to the correct place to post.
Also, a link to it in the OP of the rom, too. Then it doesn't get lost when it's a couple pages down in the forum.

Yea, if the dev wants that, but it's common practice the developer doesn't want that for various reasons.
1* monitoring 2 threads
2* he wants his main thread on top of the first page for lots of (rea$ons) etc
So it's not that easy

Dev doesn't have to keep up with it. Most aren't done by the dev so far. It's users helping users. A Q&A thread would be best if the dev wants to keep discussion in the dev thread.
Then the only problem would be getting people to stop posting in the dev thread and post in the Q&A thread.
Take the ParandoidAndroid ROM for example. For the bigger device forums it has a specific thread to ask any questions instead of asking them in the dev threads.
The PA Q&A threads I'll mention specifically are in the S2 & S3 forums respectively. Even though both of those threads have had quite a few people posting in them, it's nowhere near effective enough at stopping the questions in the development threads.
It could be argued that if some people have used the Q&A threads then it hasn't been a total waste of time. I don't agree with that, however. If someone asks their question in the Q&A thread and it hasn't been answered over a period of a few hours, yet someone else asks a similar question in the development thread and gets an answer instantly, what's the first person automatically going to think? "If I ask my question in the dev thread it'll get answered quicker"
The solution can't simply be putting a link to the Q&A thread in the OP because as we know, a ton of users apparently don't know that the OP exists.
I've been approved by Snowflake. Jealous?

^^^This...And, no matter what measures are taken, it still requires people to actually read, read, read. The answers to most questions already exist, it just takes a little time to find them.

Discussions threads have been successful and effective as far as i've seen, it's almost always fellow users who create such threads.
Some still post questions and etas in the dev thread but they learn after a couple of posts.
Not sure about S3 kinda forums.
There's actually no reason for a dev to monitor the discussion thread at all.
But i don't want to see redundant discussion threads filling up the General.

Don't I know it...
Boy y'all some Debbie Downers. I was just trying to lighten the mood of this thread of sorrow as of late and say I liked what I was seeing. It worked awesomely in the captivate forums when zelendel did it. Wanted to spread some good cheer. Peace up fellas and get out what you put in. If something works, roll with it instead of complaining.

The bottom line is, people do not read, they expect to be spoonfed. We can have fancy flashing signs, read receipt rules etc etc etc, but it will not work. We need to change their mindset, i.e. that XDA is not a service/help forum, but a forum where you come to research, read, dev etc
You guys could give me free reign to flame the noobs. In my opinion, it's just as insulting to pop into a thread and ask a question without reading as it is to call someone a retard for not searching. I know not everyone agrees, but I've proven that it does actually work. Being nice seems to reinforce the bad behavior, while calling them names shows them a consequence for their actions. I know this won't catch on, but I figured I'd pop in and be grumpy this morning.

What, just this morning??
Tbh, I'm all for non mods helping users, disciplining users in a nice, respectful manner, but I do not agree with the harsh, no nonsence slagging off attitude. IMHO you're just fuelling the fire. I'd much prefer posts where reported so Mods can action as necessary

Not a good idea. It will just start a flame war.
Zel being an exception as he's a mod and noobs have some respect for that. Also,his posts are quite balanced. You come across quite rude to the people that don't don't you. No offence, just stating as it looks.

Bottom line is people just cant talk to anyone any damn way they feel. This is not a site to make people popular. Hell I dont give a **** how many people use the kernel, rom, mod, or hack. Act like a fool and you deserve to be banned for good. The rules are here for a reason. Either follow them or leave, your chose.
Now I have had to hold my tounge on this for a while but no longer.
XDA is a developers site
XDA is a free forum you are ALLOWED to use. We could make it invite only
XDA is and always will be about the developers. And before you say without the users there would be no XDA, Bull****, who do you think used the stuff before normal people even knew what a smartphone was......wait for it.........other developers. People that could give good feedback with relavent info. Like Logcats and crash messages. Not just "dahhh this is broken, please fix". And even Maybe help fix what is broken.
XDA is not a place to come and make your phone cool.
XDA is not the cool place for idiots to hang out.
XDA is not your friends house
XDA is not a democracy
XDA is not a place to make Money.
XDA IS a place to come to learn and share your knowledge. If you are not here for those reasons then you are here for the wrong ones.
I have watched XDA become a place where every dumbass in the world has a smartphone and comes here thinking they have the right to anything. Well guess what? You dont have the right to ****. We share it because we want to and we dont if we dont feel like it. Are the Developers or the Mods required to make you happy? Nope not in the least. Wanna leave. Go ahead. I beg you, please do. The less people that are asking dumb question cause they dont know what they are doing (this is understood when your new, but at least look) or are too lazy to look for it the better.
Dont like what I have to say? I am sorry you must have mistaken me for someone that gives a damn.24Hi all
A few of us Moderators have been getting PM's that in my case have not been dealt with due to the fact I am not always on the board.
All of us do this for free and in our spare time, and over time we move on, get new toys, or even go back to a real life without a keyboard under our fingers.
Please try to understand that some of us are Bias (I admit to it I have a BA and am not intrested in many of the other sections).
Thus I for one do not read all posts and all sections, I feel this is true for others, like I said I feel this.
We all however try to check the trash and keep the news clean.
For this reason we need a form of communication that is not based on a person but directed to a group and in this case its the Moderators and Admins.
It is with that motivation in mind that I have opened this thread and made it sticky in the hope that you are able to post issues that you think that at least one of us should deal with.
Please note that this board does not tolerate cracks, serials, pirated versions or the posting of software that should have been aquired by legal means and we will remove (delete) them when found. Please help us keep this site clean by posting links of that sort in this tread as well as telling us if you have found anything on the ftp site.
Please use this thread, use and edit the wiki and remember this board would not be as great as it is without YOU.
Thanks for your support.
MDAIIIUser1914Just a question I'd like to ask the forum admins....
When some lame junior member makes six battery widgets, it features on your headlines, but when a seasoned recognised developer in the HTC Incredible S section manages to port TWO JELLYBEAN ROMS AS A FIRST-EVER effort for the inc s, no one takes notice ... "Ho hum, what else is new"...
Why the stepchild treatment to this section? Please feature this in your headlines please.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1854796
Sent from my HTC Incredible S &/or Xperia Mini ST15i13I want to thank all the Mods...I did referral trading for a few years and spent about a year of that being a moderator on two of the forums I worked on. It is HARD work being a mod especially if you have a wife and or children. Your family deserves to have you in their lives and being a mod requires time spent in the forum away from the family. I ended up in some arguements with my wife over how much time I was spending on my computer....She was right; I was on it too much!
For all you mods out their I want to suggest that you remember your family does come first and the forum second. Many users do not understand this and sometimes expect you mods to be there all the time. The forum will still be there after you spend time with the family. The users here may get frazzled having to wait but it is better than having your spouse getting frazzled!!!
Forum users please remember these mods have lives that come first and they try very hard to balance life with being here helping you FOR FREE!
God bless this forum God bless our mods!!!
Peace out....
P.S....Lets all try and help each other around here, you will get those ten posts before you know it...Read, learn, post.......suddenly you will have over 100 posts!!
