what's coming, winter? :silly:
Stop reposting topics... look at FB time post. it's been probably over 8 hours now. OTHERS have already posted the same thing. no one cares now until it's released.
Closing a duplicate post.. try to keep things organized guys..

No offense dude but you open too many threads and mostly pointless things that can be all put in one ongoing thread. Maybe change one of the threads to be just discussion of randomness like we have in our sgs4g forum. That's my opinion sorry if it offended you.
I know you guys don't have a mod yet but I'm trying to get one for you guys...hopefully as soon as possible.

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

that would be a good idea considering the amount of people we've got in the community
I'll do my best to help in this. I'd love to see the old XDA again.
This should just get pinned
Great job Bro! Very needed thread IMHO.
I'm out of thanks for today. This is all useful information. Thanks :beer:

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.

forget pinning it.. this should be the first thing you see in like, 48 point font, obnoxious colors, when you open the forum.
does anyone know why the links to both of the SKY ICS Roms have been pulled??? I have been follwing these ROMS since the beginning and really love the work Sean has done with the Skyrocket....
I realize there has been a lot of "flaming" and "trolling" going on...is this the reason for the links being pulled??? Or have the moderators found some "technical" problem with the software???
ANYONE have any info on this issue???
A mod is cleaning the threads. See the last post for each one. They will probably be back up shortly
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
They have been closed for reasons that I can't speak if now. I can say it has nothing to do with flaming, although it was bad. For the time being will remain locked without links.
Side note locking this thread.
Cheers

I don't see why people are having such an issue with blocking the update. I just had to Odin back to stock because of some issues with eclipse ROM and the update downloaded. I panicked and tried stopping it as it was downloading with no luck.(I didn't want to have to re-flash again). I couldn't stop it but when it finally downloaded it asked me if I wanted to install it now or defer it to a specific time. Obviously I deferred it to way in the future and wen't along with my flashing of custom ROM's lol.
Now that I have experienced a taste of the OTA I have no clue why everyone that has gotten it is scared about it. Defer it and keep your phone the way it is... lol.
This could have easily been posted in one of many ota threads rather than make a new one.

Thats the reason he started a thread. Because there are so many ota threads no one would ever find this post.
OP didn't deserve being flamed but you do for such a lame post.

Thank you for sticking up for me, but I made the thread to be a smart A$$ about how many OTA update threads there are...
Now I feel like an ass. My appology's. In that case I take it back. I wouldn't be a smartass about all the ota threads because this thread is by far instantly a much lamer thread than those.
My appology's to PAULG1488. You evidently are right with your post.
I'm glad I wasted my time reading this thread because someone thought it would be funny to be an baby.

I never really was a part of XDA, I joined 2 years ago but I never really put myself in here, I've spent the past week just reading all these shift threads and posts and I swear its just like facebook except without the drama, and now that I want to be a part of the XDA I can't, I need moderator approval or something? I can't quote posts, view certain parts of the site, need to captcha on a lot of things, how do I get "moderator approval"? Is it an XDA thing? Or something specific to the Shifts forums? I would like to be a part of the Shift "family" lol please help

It looks like you have only 4 posts so I think thats the issue. Xda puts limits in on new folks. As you post more you'll find grater access through the site.
Like entire threads or all posts like comments and stuff?

And sometimes I have a 5 minute posting limit, that says a moderator must approve of my account first, look

Thank you kindly for that and hey you said you were going to bed, this is valuable Sense 4 time xD

Interesting, I only knew of the ten post limitation to post in the development section... I don't ever remember having limitations, but that was two years ago... I didn't post anything till I knew what I was doing and could help others tho.

~~~Posting Questions~~~
There are some restrictions on your posting ability when you first start here. For your first 7 posts, there is
a captcha prompt and a time limit in between posts. This is mostly to stop spammers from posting garbage
throughout every thread. There is a 2 minute limit between posting and editing your posts. This stops at
30 posts when you go from Junior Member to Member, so read twice, post once.
