Rules regarding Sex

I am posting this because of what this user said and got flamed because it,
so about posting and searching on XDA...
As it turns out when I do a search for a topic the little search bar gives me EVERYTHING I dont need.. and NOTHING about what I do.. I understand that a lot of people just post new threads about the same crud but still, instead of just jumping down their throats take time to listen and tell them and, if you know, where to find the topic they are looking for .. perhaps with a link and a polite comment.

Guy's in case you are not aware of it....here are new rules are regarding Flaming etc etc....And with the recent flaming of a member here...here is a quote from the new rules ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=263
by Flar Administrator
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.

Now this user post a thread and even stated he had trouble with the search not finding what he was looking for, and yet several member just had to flame him , mostly newbies that have been here a short time themselves.
And I ask the mods to help re-enforce these rules and send the message to we need to be respectful of each other....and yes I know this is in the Development forum, but since it is happening in here , many of the users need to be reminded of it..
As to the Search engine here on XDA well it does lack the ability to weed out Il-Revelate info so till it can , keep in mind that many users do attempt to search for the info but the search results do not give them what they seek, so let just help out the user and answer there question and move on...
or just do not reply period if you can not be helpful..

There's a rule before that one that says to "Search Before Posting"
the only time I am hard on newbies is if they don't search or do work themselves. And if you're referring to the thread I think you're referring to, you should know that I've actually received a PM from that individual, and we have both explained our views very plainly and I am awaiting his reply.
I'm actually working on a project to avoid these problems in the future. You'll like it. But note that this is also kind of an attack against everyone here, though you have a valid point, perhaps this would be better personally and politely sent to those whom you think are at fault in a PM?
Edit: yeah, you're right, it does often turn up irrelevant info, but if you see threads getting pulled up, click the thread and search within the thread to find relevant posts in the thread. Also, the thread title for this thread, though I see you're trying to get everyone's attention for it, is misleading and inappropriate for the topic at hand.

I respect both of you and see that you both have valid points, there is a fine line to be walked when it comes to this, I think it comes down to treating others as you would want to be treated. I am amazed at how much I learn when I am just trying to help someone else out! So that being said, I think it can do a person some good to devote some of their time on XDA everyday to helping someone out, even five min can make a difference to somebody, might even save them a $300 phone! And thats all I have to say about that! (Forest Gump)

Trav ,
first off this is not meant as a attack but it did need to be strongly word...granted you are correct that it does comes off that way...and i know that there are a great many here do go out of there way to help others..To those this thread is not directed at you.
As to the title ...well it seems that the banner displaying the new rules info is not getting the attention of small group that still continue the flaming...hence the title...
More users and mods need to get the message across to those that do the flaming and are disrespectful to others needs to stop...

can you post link to this flamed thread so that others can look at it?

I see this thread has been moved...
I have a suggestion then...if the mods are going to remove threads like this that bring attention to issues that are going on in the forum then more attention needs to be paid to those users who flame and disrespect others in those forums........
Here is my suggestion on how to handle them.. when mods read a thread that has flaming going on in it...before locking it...they need to make a post addressing the flaming issue and point it out what will happen if it continues..
Maybe consider bringing on more mods to help with the work load that the current ones are dealing with, I am not knocking the current ones, .they do a great job , but this is a huge site and it is growing fast .
BTw this thread was originally in the Kaiser Rom forum where the problem originally occurred and still continues..

Here is a link so that people can read the WHOLE thread, instead of the tiny bit you took out of context. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494625
The guy got flamed ( and I did not consider that flaming) because he posted a belligerent and antagonizing thread in the ( wrong ) rom development forum, not because he was a noob politely asking for help.
If you are going to take the members of this forum to task, do it with all the information please.

If you really want to get to the real reason behind this thread ...what caused him to make that post in the first place huh? do you know ? could it be that he asked a simple question and got the usual responses ? nawww
I was not going to drag that user into this thread like you have....I felt he has caught enough flak as it is...so what do you think will be gained by you dragging his name into this...?
Cause and effect...and his thread is not the only time someone got flamed for asking a simple question is it now ? EVEN AFTER they stated they had tried to use the search .
I wonder if you will answer these questions / or was your intent to attempt to turn the tables away from the real issue at hand ?
Btw that thread was closed with only one response from a mod..
As to the part i used....that is the main point of this thread incase you missed it..

Well, I agree with you and believe me that most mods are actually enforcing the flaming when they see it. I have seen full threads stopped in their tracks prior to becoming flame wars.
Now, the search engine thing is kinda like a vicious cycle. All the new threads and posts started with commonly asked questions will only add more to the results coming out in the search engine. So, each time someone else uses the engine, he/she will get one million plus one posts. After being annoyed due to not finding the answer they were looking for after the first few posts they go through, they feel they need to make their voices heard and hence a new thread is born.... adding more stuff that the search engine will pull up each time someone looks for that particular subject.
Is there a way around this? Maybe...
Do we know it? Sure as hell not yet, but we have to keep on fighting...

Unlike you, when I see a post like this I go straight to the persons profile page to see where they are coming from.
This was his sixth over all post, out of the five previous posts, he received immediate answers to 2 of his questions, one of his questions went unanswered in a 150 page thread and his other two questions were answered by Noonski ( mod ). Noonski answered his final question with a polite, " the question has already been answered in thread."
Noonski said:
Aah that Menu.
Since it has been noted before in the thread i won't anwser the qwuestion, but i will hint.
There is a mortscript in the folder \Windows\Startup.
Removing one of those files will get rid of the menu.
**** i answered the question anyway.

At which point he switched from the wizard to the Kaiser and without any further posts, started this ranting ( no question, mind you, just ranting ) in the Kaiser Rom Dev forum.
The thread speaks for itself. What I am saying, is if you want to take the other members of this forum to task, then do it with your own thoughts and opinions. Or at least use credible examples of abuse,
You lose all credibility when you carefully edit, out of context, examples like you did, that really had nothing to do with your point. If you want to rant, stand up and rail away ( I'm not a real big fan of some of the moderation on this site either ) against the other members, but please note that this guy ( in the wrong forum ) came totally out of left field with this rant, so can you please find better examples, perhaps from people who have in fact been polite and courteous and have gotten flamed anyway for asking a simple question.

My track record for helping people speaks for itself, you are more than welcome to review each and every one of my 980 posts, along with the 1300 posts I have over at htcwiki.com , for any flaming. While sometimes I use humor to chide people, I am one of the good guys.

Denco7,
I do not go to a persons profile, why not ? well i look at the post just like most users do....and part of the problem is that newbies will see flaming and will think that it is okay to do it, especially after if a mod has replied to the thread and says nothing about the flaming and or disrespect that went on , so this small group will think it is okay to post insults , non revelate comments, basically they think since a mod did not say anything, they feel it is okay to do it...
As to your track record I have seen you help out newbies with out really flaming them, so i do not consider you part of the overall problem..
but I do have issue with why you felt the need to bring this user and post up his info...when it was not necessary, I am still wondering why you did it..when this issue surrounds flamming those that state they used the search engine but with no luck...

Because many people read that thread and I thought your overall good message was getting over shadowed by your choice of examples. Unfortunately the person you used as the rallying point of your message was belligerent and antagonistic, which is why he was written off by the other members and eventually the mods. He was never wronged and his rant was baseless and unconstructive, I didn't want to see your message written off by a the poor example you chose as a rallying point.
He did not use the search engine because he had no question, only a rant in an inappropriate forum.

People are to lazy to search
While behaviour breeds behaviour. So starting a flame war is not great. IMO. I will just normally reply with something helpful especially when the search can be somewhat daunting on any site.
I think! here is a good example of someone clearly fabricating the truth about "I tried searching" when they clearly haven't.
Here is a quoted message from another forum...

thanks denco, i had already read that thread, but didn't know that was the thread in question, but i did have a feeling it might have been.
EDIT: WHAT DOES THIS THREAD HAVE TO DO WITH RULES OF SEX?

every one that can read will have a different opinion on what is considered flaming i guess. how about we just sticky to the first page of all forums a new thread entitled:
"i need help, ask your questions here if you don't know where to properly ask them"
then newbs & old but rarely on here members can go and ask there questions, and those of us that are extremely active can go into that thread if we choose to, to help out those people?
xda could even fix it to where if you post a new thread it would have to be viewed by a mod or admin and get approval before it showed up on a forum?

Good idea, and instead of having mods approve the question , just set the thread to automatically purge the posts after 48 hrs..

how i post in a thread??? pleasee

im not able to post anything inside a thread i need help please

It may be due to your post count. Some sections require you to have 5-8 posts (decided randomly) to post in that section.

it says 10 post but how can i get 10 post if a i cant really "post" anything

chinese riddle!
- Dave Chappelle

what do you mean by that

I guess double posting in your own thread could possibly work. You can also reply to peoples threads, helping them, or you can agree/disagree with their comments (nicely of course, dont flame)

did you ever think about why these restrictions are on board? It is a way for the user to actually get to know the community a litte better, before posting in sensitive-threads (the dev-forums for example).
What you are doing now is actively circumvent the restrictions, because you obviously want something.

ya..i also cant reply to some threads

The post count restriction is 10 in dev forums as far I know, please respect the rules. I cannot yet post yet in those forums either, but I know it is for good reason. Double posting in your own thread is just not right. Try helping some people out (in allowable boards), or ask a question in another relevant board you can post to.

Not only 10. When I tried a week ago, it said to me that I needed 20 posts in the developer section....

Imo it should be 100, sick of seeing n00bs flood the place with silly/clone questions when the answers are simple to find.

You CAN post, just not in the development forums. Those forums are for developers to release stuff or for people to reply to their topics which you have no need to do at this moment in time, any question you can think of asking has ALREADY been asked, and the thing you should do is use the search button.

u made my day.
im rofling now

I guess we just have to do 10 meaningless posts here to get to the point where we can reply to things of interest.

Yeah no doubt. After countless pages of reading, I can't ask a question in regards to an issue with a rom. I understand about filtering out noob questions but if for some of us that are reading counltess pages without finding an answer, we should be able to post something.

ffs, you CAN, just not in the dev section. You can post in the OS's Q&A section if you like, nothing stopping you.
Also how do you expect the system to know that you have actually 'read' something? And as I said before, anything you can think of asking about has already been answered and is likely covered in the guides/sticky threads or other topics and is easily found by searching.

not to be rude but instead of complaining about it take the advice given previously and go post your opinion in someone's question thread or go look for someone who had a problem you had and try to answer it...getting 10 posts by talking in this thread is just...meh, but your choices.

A quick glance at your recent posts has me wondering if you post anything useful or just bash other people. You comment " anything you can think of asking about has already been answered and is likely covered in the guides/sticky threads or other topics and is easily found by searching." is arrogant to say the least. I have been reading posts daily for the last few months. I have 4 different ROMS I flash each time they make changes for my device. Trust me nobody has posted on issues that cropped up in a ROM that has been out for 1 day. 'nuff said.

@OP you should be able to post in any threads as the new policy is not retroactive for old members with <10 posts, if the issue is persistent PM Forum Admin MikeChannon

XDA scared another dev away

Hi,
I am a dev for the Advent Vega, POV mobii tegra, Viewpad 10".
I am pissed off @ xda because of the unfriendly treatment of new members (even though I am a dev, with enough experience). I will never post my ROM on a ****ty site like XDA, I had to spam 13 posts (deeply sorry for it) and still I cannot make my own thread in development, well I give up.
To all Advent Vega, POV, Viewpad users:
If you want my ROM here it is:
(LINKS REMOVED)
On a far better website then XDA will ever be.
To XDA:
You won't ever see me here again, if you want to be the most unfriendly site on the internet go ahead
Areo

So in your opinion, what would be better? To grant everyone and their dog full power to start threads in developement sections?
It's 10 posts, 10 posts where you can introduce yourself, help people, reply to the forums rules or other. I don't think XDA is asking for much here.
If that alone is too "unfriendly" for you, even though the point is to save moderators work, then I guess you can go anywhere else on the internet. XDA is definitely too harsh on the poor devs, hurting their feelings and such.

Seriously? Scared off by the fact that XDA has some basic safeguards to prevent people from trashing the Developer forums? Stop being petty and thing outside the box for about 10 seconds and you will realize that this precaution is to help you, not annoy you. This isn't a ROM hosting site like tablet ROMs. It is a developer's forum that happens to also have ROM links.

Hi,
firstly i wrote pm to moderator to let me write to dev forum without spamming general forum.
He offcourse does not answered my question, he did nothing. Pretty normal i guess.
Then i jump into discussion on general about how stupid and unlogicall this rule is... Which is in fact making more spam, not preventing spam at all.
Thread was removed. Pretty normal i guess.
But why ffs moderator is removing my post here on general about what smartphone i'm using on "what smartphone you are using" thread? Why removing my normal posts?
Why moderator is making bad things to me? What is the reason? Bad day? Girl dumps ya? Hating world?

It basically goes like this, and its exactly the same on Linux forums: Moderators have little interaction in the real world and thus, have little influence upon their own destiny apart from that which goes on within the four walls that encompasses their computer. Therefore the only stimuli to their mental state is via the keyboard and computer screen. They were probabley taken out of school by over protective parents that still to this day dont understand how they managed to procreate. To the moderator, forums means power. The more rules there are on a forum equals more power. These forums have lots of rules, so that means the moderators have lots and lots of power, and that makes them happy, and in their world, makes them successful. Unless you are a fellow moderator, then they don't feel the need to respond to your private message, because, as we have already discussed, they have had no interaction with the real, or physical world, therefore have no sense or awareness of being rude, ignorant, or plain stupid.
If, on the other hand, I'm wrong, then moderators can post evidence by posting photographs and vids of them playing sports, out with girls, working with other people (sending email doesn't count), on holiday with family and friends, and generally interacting directly with other human beings (interviews with your shrink doesnt count).
Thats it in a nutshell.

Unless you are a fellow moderator, then they don't feel the need to respond to your private message, because, as we have already discussed, they have had no interaction with the real, or physical world, therefore have no sense or awareness of being rude, ignorant, or plain stupid.
If, on the other hand, I'm wrong, then moderators can post evidence by posting photographs and vids of them playing sports, out with girls, working with other people (sending email doesn't count), on holiday with family and friends, and generally interacting directly with other human beings (interviews with your shrink doesnt count).
Thats it in a nutshell.

I don't think the OP is just trying to stir things up. I think he's actually trying to get himself an infraction or a ban so that he has more 'evidence' to support his moronic claims.

It basically goes like this, and its exactly the same on Linux forums: Moderators have little interaction in the real world and thus, have little influence upon their own destiny apart from that which goes on within the four walls that encompasses their computer. Therefore the only stimuli to their mental state is via the keyboard and computer screen. They were probabley taken out of school by over protective parents that still to this day dont understand how they managed to procreate. To the moderator, forums means power. The more rules there are on a forum equals more power. These forums have lots of rules, so that means the moderators have lots and lots of power, and that makes them happy, and in their world, makes them successful.

And this is precisely why I am closing the thread. As an administrator of the site, I am asking you to please refrain from creating (yet another) follow-up thread.
As I stated in the previous thread, there is a proper way to go about handling issues with moderators. Publicly making fun of the entire group does not qualify.

Suggestions

I have created this new thread to enable people to suggest possible improvements that can be made to the already great XDA site. It could possibly allow admins to scroll through the thread and employ the suggestions.
My suggestion would be to add a box to the arrows and numbers that allow you to move through thread pages. In this box you could enter a number that would allow you to move to a certain page. I think this is important because many threads have hundreds of pages. This is my kind of lame idea.
Please feel free to post any ideas, of course you must abide by the xda rules.
I have put this thread in the (i think) most appropriate place. Sorry if it isn't to peoples liking.
Enjoy

Yeah
Yes this sounds like a good idea.
Could be a hit with some people.
I suggest XDA making it clear how to rank up (eg: from junior member to senior member or recognized developer etc). As a new guy here, that hasn't really been introduced.

Here's my suggestion, though it will likely never pan out: Include a VIP Section within each of the existing forums, whereas Senior Members and Developers can discuss topics, without being flooded with mundane and repetitive n00b questions and comments. Heck, it could even be by "invitation only" for those who aren't Senior Members yet or Developers/Hackers, but those that still are contributors and can participate upon approval. To summarize, less crap more hack...

It would be useful...afterall, the app already has something similar...
And you will get more audience if you get this moved to "About Xda"...
- Via xda premium

Great
This is a great idea. My suggestion would be for xda to make it clear when certain things are unlocked. (signature). Similar idea to the first one.

Just a couple of points to make...
Firstly, this General forum is for "Anything that involves all of the phones and doesn't fit in any of the other fora", so it's not a forum about the site itself. For that you want the About xda-developer.com forum, as mentioned above.
Secondly, it's a great idea. So great that it's already been done

If you want to make suggestions about the site then that's a great place to do it as it's usually rife with mods and members who know what they're talking about.

I agree there should be a 10 20 30 > 50 100 >> option for some of these threads on older roms for instance to help scroll through if ever trying to locate link once seen posted some time ago in an old thread. I have run into this problem may be new at posting to here but a long time reader.

The new design is bugged it kinda refreshes like 200 times

@OP, you mean a feature like the current one?
