Exploration of "protect the dev"mode... - Thunderbolt General

Can anyone offer an explanation of the insidious posts and flaming of anyone who even mentions the possibility of a status update? Is it fear that the dev will abandon the work? Is it a chance to appear noble? A chance to seemingly gain the approval of the dev? What is the motivation?
I would really enjoy is this thread could stay high level and without accusation and judgment!

Im no dev but I would imagine the requests for an eta for a devs work gets annoying. Kind of like kids in the back seat of a car yelling "are we there yet are we there yet!" So the get flamed. Sit in the car and be quiet. You'll know when were there.

This.

It seems highly ungrateful to ask when a dev is going to be finished with something. They are doing this in their spare time and without pay other than donations. They don't 'owe' us anything.

As noted, these folks do this generally because they enjoy it. It's also a "spare time" kind of thing, I would hope ! They have NO schedule nor obligation. They aren't being paid to do this.
Also realize, official updates from the carrier or manufacturer happen what, once a year ? Twice a year if one's lucky ? A custom ROM probably sees 2-3x the number of updates if not more !

All good answers. However I'm more so asking about they mentality of the people who feel it necessary to "protect the dev" and why they feel it's their responsibly to do so ?

I dont feel I'm "protecting the dev" by telling someone to stop asking for an eta. It's unnecessary to ask for an eta. The dev will tell us when its ready until then just relax. Go back to a more stable Rom until there is an update if there is a bug you can't work around. It takes time to test for bugs and fix them.

Boredom and frustration and impatience. Pretty much the same things that make us do most if the dumb annoying stuff we do.
Actually that's probably true for the askers as well as the defenders.

Because 1) are tired of seeing "ETA?" posts and 2) don't want the dev to stop work because they like what they are doing

Is the asking for an eta what is inflammatory or is it the responses that chastise the asker what escalate the argument? What would happen if the post asking for an eta was just completely ignored by everyone as though it wasn't there?

If it is ignored enough you'll have 50 more is it done yet posts to follow that. If people would just be patient the updates will come.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

Most devs see what's being posted, even if they just glance over threads. I'm sure it makes them angry to hear nothing but complaining about their hard work. And to top it off w/ ETA' s is ridiculous.

This is the internet we're talking about! People don't know how to ignore anything!!

What I'm really trying to ask is why do people feel obligated to defend the developers, not why we shouldn't ask for etas?

A**-kissing

How come it means someone is defending the developer if people get mad for someone else asking for an eta? It's just a courtesy that the community has extended to devs for as long I have been on xda.

I think the problem is that those of us who get mad are probably older members that understands the courtesy. Now there are a lot of new members that weren't around for the original arguments.

There's probably no "think" about it. Check the join date (not the 'post count' because many people are "lurkers") of those who ask for ETAs and I'll bet a pattern will be clear !

It would be nice if they just went back to lurking and let the devs worry about making the Rom and not etas.

You are glad they closed it because I made a comment about them not being like most typical developers and ignore a question already answered? I never used the rom, I understood that it wasn't ready
. You do understand though that these guys aren't the only developers in the world right? All it takes is ignoring the dumbasses like yourself and answering important questions. I enjoy the phone I have and could hardly care if they get an ics out first or if the cm team does. I am patient and have no reason to be impatient

I guess I can ask Santa to get us ICS for Christmas........I realized the pain and amount of time a person has to spend to develop a rom. But some people don't understand the time they take to develop these roms. Kudos to the developers at xda.

Stop attacking everyone!!!

I have seen a lot, and I mean a lot of threads turn into a flame fest immediately after the OP posts. People just want to contribute. Especially new members. Why is it so many of you feel the need to turn any thread you don't like into a total bash fest? REALLY?! I come here to see new things, learn a little, contribute and be informed... Instead I get to wade through a mound of worthless posts and constant thread resurrections. If you don't like it, don't post in it. Isn't that simple. Apparently not for a bunch of people. Why not spend your time contributing or not posting. It would make this place look and feel a lot more like a DEVELOPMENT FORUM than a kiddie pool. There is a general "talk about anything" thread already, so use it instead. Hopefully these words will sink in to a few of you. And don't flame this thread! I've been here longer and modded more than most of you so I feel I have the right to point out what a mess this place is becoming.
Thanks for reading and happy modding.
Tommy
Some of it is just out of good clean fun and ball busting. I myself like to tease, kid around, and have fun. Most of the other people here do as well. Most stuff posted here isn't to be taken seriously. Although you are correct some of it does get a bit out of hand.
All the new topics in general of members telling us what to do and what not to do here is getting old. If a member has a problem with my comment I will tell them I was just kidding around. If they want to discuss a comment they can feel free to pm me and chat any time. But a mod nor a member here has never told me I acted out of line. One member snapped a bit until I told him I was just kidding and me and him are cool. Some people just have bad days and feel attacked.
In all honesty we are the calmest section on this board that I've seen. Everywhere else is 100x worse. We like to have fun here.

I have a problem with members making threads telling other members what to do, but I don't make a thread about it. Take offense? No, obviously though some people get offended easier than others.
My post today which has since been deleted was not meant to be trolling. In fact it was the first time i made a joke here at all.
I was trying to draw attention to a problem and it obviously worked.
Feel free to label me a troll if you wish but as far as i am concerned xda is not a trolling ground and i am far from it. Do i know how to push buttons? Yes but only when necessary.
Nrm and i did exchange a few cracks but as i said they were in jest.
So if my thread was seen as disruptive i apologize. I was just trying to help those like me who wanted to see a little change.

Same goes for you. You and I have no qualms and id love to see you jump in any future threads of mine (given they aren't development once i get there! LoL).
On one hand Im glad the mods cleaned up a bit. On the other i hope i didn't create a monster where no fun at all can be had. There needs to be a balance and a place. Only time will tell!
Regardless, as stated before i think our forum far surpasses others and Im glad to be here and can't wait to post some development! (a little trickier than i expected but Im slowly getting it)
Happy xdaying everyone!

You say these things when you yourself feel above the rules you have been called out before xda is a community and when you do what is expected you can gain a ton of knowledge but being lazy is not an excuse diggit you posted the same question twice so my guess is nobody messes with Bluetooth alot otherwise you would have gotten an answer but since there are no custom kernels for ics features are limited that's not an excuse for you to be silly and act like we are in the wrong all you new guys need to just chill and soak up what you can but use common sense too if we don't answer its for a reason 1 its been posted 2 we don't know

Xda does no good for the average person who's expecting a fair reply. People like you who frequent the site just to jabber off at the mouth fail to realize that.Browsing for soulutions can be done without commenting.
I certainly don't need anyones help especially yours , you fail to realize ive probably had more android devices than you ever thought of owning and guarantee I know more about this game than you ever knew.

He should post in a CM thread with 1,000 replies so his question can get buried under half a dozen ongoing discussions in the thread? OP had a legitimate question so he posted in Q&A. Get a life bro.

This was asked on my thread and the best answer is: it's up to you. If it's important to you, see if you can hack it out. Or try to get someone to work on it for you. And I used to give **** to illnevertell, who coincidentally is someone I'd call a friend now. Does he troll? yeah. Could it be called annoying to some? Sure, but he has a point and his hearts in the right place. As I've mentioned before, its like being a government employee; when you deal with assholes and morons all day long, you begin to think that everybody is one. Question after question that could be handled without wasting anyone's time gets annoying as well. I actually saw a thread begun a while back for a douche mad at XDA and everyone in it because the idiot asked a dumb question in a dumber way and got his panties all bunched up at some ribbing about it. I believe it was something to the effect of "I am going to tell everyone I know on the net to stay away from XDA". Seriously? This is supposed to be a learning and sharing forum, not ****ing tech support for morons who want a flashy phone without doing anything to earn it. Go on ****ing Craigslist and find one of those assholes who sell ROM flashing, ok?
**This was not meant for the OP, just got off on a little rant of my own. Illnevertell can be harsh, but that doesn't make him wrong.

Week off?

Hi there,
Is anyROM team planning to release something significant in the next week, or can I rest my twitchy flash finger?

Well, this thread should be interesting......
FYI, asking for ETAs is kinda the xda equivalent of crapping the bed.
As for if there will be releases this week: maybe. Sometimes the devs like to give us a little Christmas present. But don't forget that they are people too and this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many people.
Wow, I didn't mean to actually ask for anything - certainly not ETAs. More kind of a gag.

Is the S3 General forum now some kind of OT forum?
I'm waiting for the thread asking opinions on which hand to hold the phone with. :laugh:

Since this thread is ****ed beyond repair anyways...
Who wants one of those Samsung cameras? The ones with android. Why do you want one? I don't see the point in the thing, I don't see who would buy one from VERIZON and pay the ****ing data fee. I just don't get it. What is the appeal to own one of these?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

No idea, in the same boat.. I was gonna get it for a Christmas present for my gf but idk what the point is either. I do know Adam Outler rooted the thing which is pretty damn cool!

I think the idea of the galaxy camera is that people love the convenience cellphones provide for in allowing your photos to be shared to social media platforms. The problem is even the best phone cameras are still phone cameras. The galaxy camera retains the social networking convenience and introduces a nice camera (optical zoom) onto the equation. Curious how Google+ just recently allowed for full quality photo uploads eh?

This is the problem with xda. Not you. Personally i think you did nothing wrong. You were simply asking if anyone knew if a significant release for a ROM was being planned for this week. You weren't asking for someone to make a ROM, you weren't asking for an eta. Instead everyone decides to be incredibly disrespectful toward you. Maybe op didn't want to go through every single ROM thread over the past 5 or so pages looking for posts by the dev.

I think he already explained it as more of a gag in post 3 so everyone just went with this as a holiday stress relieving thread. If it is going to turn ugly I will close it.

What would be really nice is if you could bring some of your weather up here to the northern part of the US :good:

I know that this happens....but I don't think that this is the case here as no one was outright disrespectful to OP nor is a future ETA or release something you can generally look up in past threads.
Oh well, relax and drink some nog. We should try and get a forum game running over the holiday. Mafia anyone? =)
Ok, here's all I meant: I love xda and the developers. I flash like crazy and keep finding something better as one Rom leap frogs the other. So I was tongue in cheek asking for a break from flashing, to save me from myself this week, not for what to flash next.
Hold phone with my left hand, even though that's considered rude in some cultures.
