Hey everyone!
I have seen some things lately that really are bugging me, and I am hoping that we can fix this fast.
1) If you have a question and you want to post, please do a search in this forum first BEFORE you post!
2) Please EVERYONE, even if you have over a thousand posts and many thanks, READ THE RULES:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=1058
3) If you do a search and find something close enough to your problem, but not quite the same, then please try posting in that thread first and not create another new one.
4) STOP posting and asking about ICS twice a day in a new thread every time.
5) If you ask a question and several people give an answer, attempt it, before you jump back and tell them that thier answer is not what you are looking for. I have seen this all too much lately, and I am getting fed up. Those of us on here that have the knowledge and we give our time freely on here, so show some respect.
6) Don't hijack someone else's thread because there are a lot of people looking at it, and not the one that you posted. This shows a lack of respect to all of us here.
There have been a TON of these things going on in here, and I have seen how many of our more senior users are getting very frustrated just like I am. If you want to keep getting good answers from the knowledgeable people in here, do some research first on your own before making a new post with incorrect information, and please listen and try to think about these things once you are given an answer, and don't just throw it out because it is not what you expected to get.
Also Please thank anyone who gives you an answer to you, even if you don't like it. And stop posting thank you posts, that is what the the thanks button is for.
One last thing, I think everyone should watch this video and hopefully you will get the point. This one is more for people with less than 50 posts, and little contribution.

Thanks guys, I am hoping we can just start linking this in all the posts that are like this from now on, so that we don't have to repeat ourselves constantly.
Well said Jim, as always. We have got to get this under control, and hopefully this will help. It's appreciated sir.
Sir, I refer you to Forum Rules, subsection 3;
"Post only using a clear SUBJECT and message". [Editorial usage of caps not found in original]
... Oh come on, it's a joke.

Jim,
Thanks for taking the time to write this up. Hopefully, things will change. Did I miss something, though? I mean, was there a massive solar flare within the last couple of days thats caused people's brains to get fried? Noobs and members arguing, acting passive aggressively, disrespectfully, and stubbornly when other members or senior members try to steer them in the right direction? The whole attitude of this forum lately has become argumentative and hostile, albeit some of that stems from member's and senior member's frustrations with others not wanting to take a few minutes and a few simple steps in finding out answers on their own before muddying up the forum with new threads on previously discussed topics. It really needs to be stopped, and at the risk of sounding like a total prick, I may start reporting members who fail to adhere to the forum's rules and request a 24 hour suspension if I keep seeing it. We're all grown folk here, we need to act it by respecting others, and playing by the rules...
(Rant over)

I've been meaning to do this, but I knew it would cause me to go on a rant. Nice post, it should be stickied
Most of us are too lazy to go through the rules, but this is to the point, this should be stickied and even then someone posts a silly question, it should be simply ignored.

ROFLMAO..... I actually was crying a little I laughed so hard.... thanks!
I was hoping the title would get some attention.
P.S. anyone that wants this to be a sticky please notify a mod.... I would, but it is my post, so that is kind of a no-no...
So can I flash ICS from China leak to my att atrix 2 LOL HAHA ..... +1 Thanks Jim well put.....
Jim, this is quite nice & I really appreciate when senior members respect Forum Rules by Mike - 2.1 & 2.5 & 10 besides the core stuff of course....I guess if someone is a repeat offender then yeah it would be no fun, Au contraire (i guess i don't get pulled up for using french) it would really make anyone who is not technically adept as Senior members think twice before even wanting to write in, in-spite after doing a search but has a different view or a question. In this case if majority of the members who yet feel the thread or post needs to be closed then yeah I guess MOD needs to be notified. I recall how you gave me some pointers on a much talked about topic & oh yes having a way of words surely helps all concerned.
Jim, I thought it was a shame yesterday when you were working so hard to bring us ICS and some guy called you an A-hole because he felt you should personally walk him through an install. It seems like more and more people think they are special/entitled.
Atrix 2 Wiki ?
Hi there, do we have a page for Atrix 2 where we could find all useful section like root methods, roms etc.
I know we have one for Defy (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy). Would be glad if we could have the same for Atrix 2.
Please let me know if there is already a page. I have searched but couldn't find it.
Edit: The link is there but its empty (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Atrix_II)
Regards,
Vikram

All you have to do is peruse the development section.

I'm sure you watched the video and read the info when you first signed up correct? :thumbup:
Dev section is "supposed" to be a designated area where these mad wizards share their wonderful creations with us.
The post limit is intended to suppress the "I flashed your crappy ROM and it bricked my phone!!!" Newbie post. It doesn't always prevent that but...what are gonna do. Its basically for devs though. Questions, comments , general info all have there designated areas here...welcome check out the threads. Hope you enjoy your stay

thanks for the reply, that make sense.. thanks :good:
Hi all, I was wondering what, if any, the equivalent of the Australian Vodafone Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 (GT-I9300T upon purchase/before roming) is as far as the forums on XDA go. Just so I know where my posts are best directed. And yes I have searched extensively.
Many thanks in advance.
Festive bump.
Anyone? This would help me greatly in which forum to post questions and give answers..
Perhaps one last bump shall help my find some assistance? I've searched a lot to no success.
Or I could just post in here until I'm able to give feedback in threads that are actually relevant to me..
Yes, yes.. I'll just have a pretty little conversation with myself.
How are you Vehdrehl? Good, I hope?
Oh, why thank you for enquiring! I'm doing pretty well thank you. Just waiting around to be able to post in threads that are actually relevent. How're things on your side of the fence?
Oh hey, funny that you should mention that. I'm trying to be able to reply to someone in a thread relative to my interests as well! It's a little silly as I just want to post a helpful responce, but I guess I get why the restrictions are in place.
Well, I wish you the best of luck and hope I can merge back into you to form our true self and post in threads that are actually relevant. Here goes!
Hi, all, first, I am not sure whether I should put this post under this section or the General discussion. If I put it in the wrong, please kindly let me know and I will change it to the right place.
Ok, here is the thing. I have developed an android app (to remove the doubt of spamming, I will not mention it here). I thought it is great, so I upload it to the Google Play store and send review request to over 50 review websites. But the downloading data is really frustrating, only about 100 over two months.
I know XDA has many real android experts who are willing to offer help to those who are in need. So I wonder is there anyone who are willing to offer some honest suggestion for my app?
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone! I'm new on this forum, I hope someone will read this, haha :fingers-crossed:
Everything seems so confusing right now, but I know I will get used to it in time.
If anyone wants to talk, feel free to talk to me! I love meeting people who are similar to me and that's what a forum like this one does, right?
