Zelendel has been doing an awesome job keeping this place clean of noobs posting questions without searching in the general sub. 12 hours without him and this place looks like crap. Stop it. You are not special. You are a noob who needs to watch the noob video again by azrionoch. Search, follow the rules, post in the correct forum.
And to all the people who actually answer the questions, stop it. You are just as bad. You are an enabler. To the people who get mad at the members who point out that a thread was made without searching and/or posted in the wrong section, stop it. You are the worst. Not only do you not care about keeping this place clean, but you are perfectly fine with it getting messier.
Guys, just keep the forums clean. It makes this place nicer, keeps the mods happier, keeps members happier with the new rp system, and the keeps the devs happier.
I'm all for keeping this place clean but you need to understand that not all people are capable of following simple rules. Topics will continue to be created in the wrong forum regardless of how many "you're doing it wrong" speeches you type up (which, ironically, create clutter themselves). Let the mod do his job and keep your mouth shut if you have nothing helpful to say.

Good words from a member whose only contribution to the forum was a question thread about wallpaper in of all places, the captivate general sub section. Thank you.

Lol... I try not to enable too much, but it is annoying sometimes especially with the "what is the best rom" threads and the "i can't follow instructions so hold my hand and spoon feed me" threads

Thanks for this thread, we truly appreciate . We definitely need members like you also to help us clean the forums. I'm a currently active moderator here also. I will need that if you see something like this shoot me a PM so either I or any other moderator can move, delete or close these threads.
Thanks again,
All posts not related to development will from now on be moved to their respective forums.
It is in your best interest to have a [9001] prefix so that your thread will be replied to and looked at.
Cheers
finally some action regarding this issue
Hello broncogr,
IMHO if you move the few themes we have for the 9001 into the 9000 section they will be lost :'(
I would suggest that it would be best to leave them here until there is a lot of development traffic in the forum, at which point they could be moved to a 9001 theme forum.
My 2 cents... cheers

They will not be lost the will have the [9001] Prefix.
Unfortunately this is a development forum so only Roms and such should be here.
Sorry

Not too sure...
I'm guessing that best way of cleaning out the stuff would be creating separate forum for 'Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001' as it is done with other phones/brands.
Throwing everything into one bag under I9000 (even with prefix) is not the best idea.
...current state is not perfect but at least topics regarding both phones are separated.. you want to mix and stir all of this.. this ain't proper solution, this is workaround and it's not even good enough..
If we want to change something let's change it properly - separate forum for I900..
My 2 cents

It has been decided that there will not be a dedicated 9001 forum.
So the only solution remaining is what is been done now.
There will be a dedicated subforum STRICTLY for development and all other questions or whatever will be filled under the other forums with the 9001 prefix.
Well.. it's Mod's decision.. thus we need to live with that.. whether we like it or not..

this is really a bad idea. why should 9001 mix with 9000? both is a totally different phone. And not only that, by doing this, it will make us 9001 user difficult to find themes and tweak. because 1) it is messy now that 9001 has been mix with 9000. 2) we need to go page by page to see if there is any new themes or mod for our phone. Take for example today the ICS theme for 9001 in 9000 thread is in page 2. Then if there is a new tweak, the thread will be buried by 9000 thread and end up few pages behind as the users 9000 are more active.
previously everything is so much easier, i log in and i can look at first page of the thread to see if there is any new tweaks or themes. Now looks like it has been moved to some other sections which are not really related to our phones.
please think bout this.
I am sorry but this is how things are going to work out from now on.
This is a development subforum and as such it should contain only development.
This has been heavily discussed before it was implemented.
Everyone should use the [9001] prefix in the other forums which will make things easier.
Cheers
i have an idea
Y not make a stock,which will link to all guides/themes/other useful threads?

One big question: what is development? Themeing is development (of content) too, and much theming stuff also contains development within the APK's...

Still someone that maintains those threads will need to keep that topic up to date...
Ok then someone can make an index thread which I will stick in the 9001 dev forum that wil lcontain all the links to themes and so on in the other forums.
Mind you this thread will need to be maintained a lot so the one who will make such a thread will need to be commited to it.

Development in our case is Rom and Kernel development.
Also some mods can be allowed.

Why not just remove the word Development of the forum name and leave all I9001 threads in here. Honestly, in my opinion you guys are taking up way too much work - you'll be continuously moving threads from 1 forum to the other

Bite me. One of the virtues of this forum is supposed to be that they actively encourage people to search before posting.
But please, encourage laziness and stupidity, it's awesome. Everyone loves reading 1100 page threads where 900 of those pages are questions that were already answered.

And that is partly what the report button is for ............thread moving........the user is notified that it is the wrong section by PM and most likely they will learn from the mistake.
People would learn a lot faster by that instead of smart comments by wanna be moderators, not speaking of you in general, you are very helpful.

I would think that commenting to the OP, and reporting it would be the most effective. Otherwise the OP might not realize why it was moved (do they get notified if their thread is moved and why? I actually don't know).
Not that it has to be a "smart comment", but just to tell the person why its wrong. Like seeing someone drive the wrong way down a one-way street: Its just better for them and everyone around them, if you tell them what they are doing is wrong. It doesn't make you a wannabe cop.

When a moderator moves a thread the op does get an automated email and recently there was a change so that we can ad a comment to the pm sent as well like
"Your thread was moved to Q&A please post in the appropriate section in the future"
By the way thread moved to Q&A

Hey DEVELOPERS can you fix all the bugs in cyanogenmod 11 for gt-i9500
sure.. can you please stfu and stop creating new threads.. period!
Yeah. They were just waiting for you to ask. There'll be a totally bug free build in an hour now.
I don't think this is going to solve anything, OP.
Instead, when you come across a bug in the ROM, take a logcat and alter the developer in the ROM thread - it'll be more productive than creating a shoutout thread
looks like the op is new here and is quite excited on seeing the cm11 news , no harm intended
...
hey OP only create sensible threads. you could have asked the same idiotic question in CyanogenMod 11 Discussion by runedrune
thats the only way to get answers ..
Guys its still an open community.. and without members there would be no xda.. if someone new makes a mistake. There is also a polite way to guide them.. try to avoid sarcasm.. it's helps no one.. just my 2 cents
OP : please read forum rules before posting... try to read at least the last couple of pages before posting in any thread.. chances are you will have your answer there..
