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,

Can I just install new roms,kernels over or on top of whatever is currently on my sd card.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You go into recovery and find where it says wipe/format all partitions (except sd). You could download the superwipe zip. Should be in the sensation android development forum and its posted all over the place. You gotta know how to find it by now. I would post a link but I'm doing this from my phone. hope this can help you out a little bit more on your path to learning how to use android. I got a little testy with you and I'm sorry. Ask as many questions as you need to ask. Its best to wipe unless the developer says you don't have to. Just delete the old rom file off the SD card.
It's alright Um not trying to make a lot of posts.I just competely new to all this.I have a qwestion that I'm embarrassed to ask where is the thank you button at for U can thank all of you.and.thanks for the information.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Thanks button is at the bottom of each post a person makes. Not sure of where its at if you use the xda app.
In the xda app thanks button is found by lightly pressing and hold on post, then a menu comes up with thanks button right there. Hope this helps!

Seriously? The Q and A forum is being ruined by questions? The guy's trying to learn, and he's anxious to do so. Sure, many of his questions have been answered before - but have you tried XDA's search? It's awful, especially if you're new and don't know certain terms yet like super-cid or AOKP/AOSP.

Maybe I was just a little pissed but surely there's no need to open this many threads, everybody was a noob at one point and he can still just get all of the information that he is asking for from the already existing threads.
Sorry.... but you shouldn't open this many threads....
is that necessary to full wipe the device?

On May 25th there were 4 separate threads opened regarding questions that have been answered MANY times. Thanks to the mods for cleaning it up.
For me, if xda search doesnt work great... I just use google and add xda on my keyword... Works well... Q and a is a best place to ask but dont abuse it... I rooted my sensation before i even join xda.... There are other members also that are asking questions, and their thread is being push far behind because of abuse like this... Im just saying be considerate of others as well...

Sent from my sensational sensation 4g
ok so this is to help keep the peace i am posting this on top of the forum rules they may overlap or intersect. My goal here is to help keep down on the issues of repeat threads, wrong sections, trolling, and any other hijinx that comes here.
1. SEARCH
yes sometimes its hard especially on your phone with taptalk because we all know how that works. Solution: Try using google search using keywords such as xda, skyrocket, and whatever your issues is this always works for me.
If your on a computer use xda's built in search tool or google as i stated above.
I personally promise 90% of all issues can be found on the web with answers if you just take a few minutes to search
2. IF ITS A QUESTION IT BELONGS IN Q&A
It does not matter what the question pertains to it is a question and belongs in Q&A i have reported tons of these here recently having them moved. i know you think that its a general question but no it belongs in Q&A ok.
3. READ
This one is kinda broad for a reason here we go
If you ask a question within a thread at least have the decency to read the last few pages to see if anything comes up that may answer your question im not talking the whole thread but maybe 3 or so pages. The reason for this is that i have seen alot of threads where people have a question answered then not 2 or 3 posts later the same question comes up. This leads to cluttering of the thread making it much harder for others to find information.
This also goes along with wanting to make a thread look at like 3 pages of threads to make sure you dont have a reapeat post this thing happens alot again it comes from lack of attention.
4. TROLLING/FLAMING
This ones a big one and im a massive perp for this and will be the first to admit it.
We need to stop the trolling its just getting worse and not fixing anything yes its hard to ignore especially for us old timers but we need to set the standard now this forum is too big for us to be going on like we have been.
Solution: squash the issues by reporting if you wanna report multiple times fine get your buddies to report fine but lets stop the hate i personally am working on this as well.
i know you guys are gonna ignore this and whatever but my hope is the message gets across to you guys and makes this section a more peaceful place for all
wanted to thank you for posting this even though most of it should be common sense but i only got 8 thanks per day

You might mention in the OP that the best way to Google search the forums in to prefix the search with:
site:forum.xda-developers.com
So to search for 'skyrocket ics update' within the xda forums only would be:
site:forum.xda-developers.com skyrocket ics update
Also you could add links to the existing threads stickied in Dev. We all know their stickied for a reason, but many people overlook them and head straight for the new thread button
If you are going to help somebody, have the courtesy to check back on the thread so you know they are in the right direction.

Nope more probably, the mod is probably removing them but they appear faster than he can remove them...I swear people like the OP are illiterate somehow, like seriously...
OP please, next time you make a thread, READ THE SUGGESTIONS given as you type the title, is stops people from making extra threads, thanks...also seeing as you're on mobile, maybe consider when you next make a new thread, do it on PC so you actually see those suggestions, granted the XDA app isn't all that great for that...
