There are a lot of questions in the General forum - General Questions and Answers

Just making an observation. There is a dedicated Q&A forum and those question threads never get moved.

Not true.
Half of the time I post something not a question, it gets moved there.

Yes Xda has defines the category where to put the questions according to the category of questions or you can ask Xda by sending them an email.

Corrected. But it's true. It's mostly composed of which phone to buy threads.

I agree with you halfway. Certain mods have trouble distinguishing between an actual question and a statement meant to spark conversation of debate. Too many posts get moved to the Q&A section that don't have a definitive answer. Just because a post has a question mark in it does not mean it belongs in Q&A. Posts about phones get moved to Off-Topic when the description of Off-Topic says "anything not about the phones". It is a broken system.

Thanks you noticed, it seems new members do not care about reading the rules and posting in the right section.
For us, just a bunch of Mods, compared with the more than 4 million members is almost impossible to do our work without members help.
Hope this thread helps members to make a bit of conscience before posting.
Thanks,

I would suggest you review the forum rules and the GPL before questioning the actions of XDA moderators. They do what they do for reasons. This is not a free software hub. This is a development hub and certain rules do apply.

Is that so? Sorry if whimsical things such as the GPL and the fairly rational rules and standards of XDA get in your way of just using any software you feel like, any way you feel like. Nobody made you become a member. In fact, if you think the GPL is not worth abiding by or being respected, you should just trade in your Android device and get a BlackBerry. Am I really the only one that thinks the GPL and XDA rules make some sense?

You can't really blame them as they've put up with people who thought they were too good for the rules for so damn long. We'll ignore the fact that when you first show up in the Infuse forums, there's a forum labeled Q&A. Common sense would dictate that maybe questions should go there.
So you already showed a lack of common sense by skipping over a forum plainly labeled Q&A for all the world to see. After running blindly past that forum you ended up here in the development section. I mean yeah you really shouldn't be tossing random questions here but I could see how it could confuse you, here you see TWO CM7 threads, wow you hit the jackpot!
But once again instead of taking a minute to check those posts out, instead of using the handy dandy search tool up there ^ and instead of at least posting in one of the other CM7 related threads, you decided to say **** IT to common sense and created a brand new thread for your question.
You aren't special, the question has been asked and answered elsewhere, go forth and find the answer you seek.

I would have hoped that after 46 posts you would have some idea of where to post things, but I guess not. Ya, it was a sarcastic (yet funny) reply, brush it off and move on.
i mean cmon dude. its a question. if you connect the dots, it can easliy lead you to the Q&A... i do not see one bit of android development here... development of flaming is freaking blossoming though.

our devs who left left for a better phone with better software support that isn't held back by that carrier since it can have software ported from the international version but they each may build one last rom when att drops gb, mikey is still answering in his thread and he and gtg both indicated that they may give it one last shot when the official gb drops. also entropy is still here, though he also got a gs2.

dude it's the internet, dont be so sensitive. oh and ask a mod to move this to Q&A never mind just ask it to be closed. when you get to Q&A you will se that there is a cm7 Q&A thread already there, plus closing this will stop the flaming.
what was that question again? it got lost in the flaming and belligerent defense of ignorance. a lot of us when we are newbs do something against the rules and get our peepee spanked for it. you are not unique. defending yourself sounds a bit like "hey i dont know the rules even though they are stickied in multiple forums in bold letters, why should i have to follow rules i dont know?" sorry to be a **** but this is the internet and that's how it is.
Slow down guys--if you think the thread doesn't belong in a certain area, simply report it.

[Q] Gratuitous posting thread?

Is there a thread where n00bs like myself can post gratuitously until we get past the 10 post limit, so we can contribute to ""Development" threads?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
yes... questions and answers
Yeah, I feel dumb commenting on existing threads just for the sake of it so I can up my "posts" count.

No best ROM threads are allowed sonny....
If you think that's simple then tell me, what would make one ROM better for gaming than another? There probably isn't an answer for that tbh, since most game tweaks are mods that you can apply yourself without switching ROMs

I shouldn't be answering this question as you can see I did not provoke this attack from you guys, I initially took the whole thing as a joke until I saw the response from Thomas Raines which changed my whole perception.
I've been here longer than what my profile suggest just that I don't post as often as I would like to and secondly I lost my original login profile, I would like to think that that is not the reason you guys jumped on me because of the low count that I show on my profile which is wrong since I did not provoke or antagonize anyone here.

In my OP I was merely asking because the issue I'm having with Blaze is with one of the radios that is based off of S3 and I wanted to post about the problem, but I couldn't and since the Blaze forum is the only one i can post at, that is the reason why I decided to ask the question in the general forum which I thought should not have been an issue. I just wished you guys would have asked me first before jumping on me, but I do see the misunderstanding and I accept your apologies.

It wasn't a profile thing, I don't even look at post count. I honestly thought you were an S3 owner trolling the Blaze forum to up your count. I'm glad you accept my apology, because honestly, there's not many of us Blaze owners left!
On the radio issue. I didn't know there was an S3 radio that's compatible with the Blaze. Have you tried all the Blaze and S2 radios?

Which to us in the Blaze forum, insinuates you are the owner of an S3 and not a Blaze. Because we have had issues of new users NOT reading the rules and trolling our threads, as well as many others, to "get their numbers up", we had much reason to believe that is in fact what you were trying to accomplish. Your question told us nothing that was related to the Blaze or the exhilarate (a device in which is covered in this forum as well). In addidtion, I have been a member of XDA for quite a long time, and the rule of 10 post minimum has been there since before I came along. With all these parameters in place, I think you can see why we were all a little upset that you had posted in our forums. As we can see now, however, you do have a Blaze and I apologize for our attacks on you. Please be aware that we will help all those that come correct. So, for future reference, please post your issue and device as well so there is no confusion.
I also did not ask the mods to delete you, rather than point you in the right direction. I don't ask that anyone be banned, rather than reprimanded, educated and point in the right direction...
