What happened to the bounty thread? I don't see any moderator warnings. Either way, it's literally had 1000 views in a day so maybe it's drawing more attention. The anticipation is killer!
edit: well now there's a mod message. Bummer. Although I understand and respect the mods decision. So basically we're in the same boat as we were when the thread was open. Once an exploit is discovered it'll, most likely, be reopened and the developer will get their recognition and reward. My bounty donation remains the same and I hope all others will follow suit.
There were multiple warnings throughout the thread. I don't usually post anything but just linger and it always got off topic pretty fast. I can see why it's just inconvenient to do a routine cleanup everyday.
Anyways, I hope it comes back online as I've been trying to gather as much knowledge and start working on it myself, but "trolls" and unnecessary arguments are very unproductive. If you have opinion and has nothing to do with the thread...easy thing to do...keep it to yourself.
Time to get back to research.

What do you think happened to it? Warning after, after warning, after warning, and people refused to adhere to the rules. I'd be surprised if it gets reopened again. Too many chances have been given. The pledges are there, if any devs can crack it, they know what is waiting for them. Personally, I don't think it's going to happen.
Let's start a bounty for anyone who can figure out how to unlock the bounty thread. I pledge a cool $1.00

I think everyone is just frustrated in the bounty thread. It's kind of parodoxical. The devs have to work in secret to get the root out fast. But there's a huge desire to know progress right now.
So when there's no news to talk about, everyone starts bickering with each other and the thread gets shut down every few days.
I think the pledgers and the devs are both shooting for the same goal and the devs are probably getting as frustrated as the pledgers. Hope everyone can chill out so this thing can get done. My 2 cents.

Well said. Mods generally leave a final message which is why I'm confused. I hope it comes back too. I realize that there were many off topic posts but recently they had been better and, if nothing, informative. I am happy to read through interesting discussion even if it isn't completely pertinent to the threads topic. It's the trolls that I mind... and if there had been any new root information I belive it would be apparent by reading the last page or two... but of course, all this is debatable and what I'd really like to see is people who are motivated and encouraging of the fact that the dev who cracks this phone will get a great payout.

I think it's funny that people just simply cannot resist the urge to post something outside the guidelines of the thread. It's not that hard, people! I posted my pledge and then kept my mouth shut because I didn't have anything else to contribute toward a rooting solution. Seems like a pretty simple rule to me.
Pretty sure the troll threatening legal action for not getting the bounty for his "hardware exploit" was the final straw.

Yes, shut down for many reasons - namely, the inability to follow the guidelines and keep irrelevant chatter to a minimum. There were repeated warnings, temporary closures, etc. I fully understand and agree with the administrative choice to close it down, especially after regular cleanings and more warnings than I could count (and the scammer... that was odd). I feel like a bit of a failure on the whole deal, but really tried my best to keep things in line (much of it in PM's trying to politely remind folks to keep the posts within the guidelines and relevant)...ultimately, there was only so much I could do.
After speaking with mods, it looks like it could be reopened upon an exploit being found. So, where it will not continue to grow (officially), it could return upon a method being found. I hope and encourage everyone to adhere to their pledges, so that the 18k will still stand (in theory) for any developer still digging for an exploit. Just because the thread is gone, does not mean that our pledges are... and it would stand to benefit us all by keeping this in mind and adhering to our individual promise.
Given the popularity of the thread, most everyone was awesome... courteous, patient, polite, and within the posting guidelines. It is just unfortunate the poor actions of a few, affected the many (in this case). Thanks to everyone who helped and contributed.
I would think taking any RELEVANT root discussions and collaborations to the original status on root/custom recover/bootloader thread. But please, keep on track there!

Yeah, I think he was banned as soon as the mods made it over to the thread. Several reported his first post immediately (including myself), so I am sure he is no longer.
I think he was just trying to scam us. His english reminded me of those scam letters you get from Africa, asking if you want 35million dollars for a paltry transfer fee. Pretty foolish if you ask me. I considered posting a warning "do not paypal this guy anything", but figured we were obviously all smart enough not to do that.
I mean, a 1968 patent for something pretty irrelevant as proof? Comon now. It seemed more of an insult to our intelligence than a clever scam.
It was gonna close sooner or later because ppl dont seem to take those warnings seriously. Im glad they closed it, let the devs do their thing and reopen it if/when an exploit is found.

You are not a failure. You spearheaded a great fundraising effort that brought in nearly 20k. You succeeded.
The failure came in from nearly every other user. Every off topic post resulted in multiple posts flaming that one off topic. The failure came from users who couldn't refrain from posting self righteously. You were failed by this community. If we do get root it will be thanks to the motivation your fundraising offers developers.
Root has come so fast for so long that we all forget it takes work. It is easy to hit the thanks button on a root thread but when it came time to practice patience and respect while waiting for an exploit everyone fell apart. I read numerous posts insulting your effort and have dealt with similar posts on my petition thread. It makes you wonder if XDA is even a community anymore or just a bunch of brats looking to take from the talented, bicker, and whine.
Anyway, thanks for your contribution.

I had to stop checking the thread out as often as I'd liked. It was one of those things where as a kid you'd cover your eyes during a scary movie and leave a crack open so you could just barely see the dead guy. That was me checking in once every day or two. Knowing I'd see something that shouldn't be there and seeing you calmly explaining the rules (again) and calmly explaining all the previous warnings (again) and that if the off topic comments continued, the thread would likely be closed. Anyway, thanks for your effort. It's appreciated. Your attitude through it all is even more appreciated. If only it had rubbed off.

Your right, its not a failure - I dont mean it to seem dramatic... Im just a user, but have never been motivated to start a thread - and therefore new to it. Given noob status in this way, its hard to know if I was doing things right. I put forth effort (especially as it progressed quickly), and took it seriously...though regularly wondering if 'its too much or too little', and with inconsistent feedback (some of which from trolls)... so I appreciate hearing from level-heads very much, and thank you.
Mods are great here, I must say. As long as XDA continues with the standards they set, there will always be success on these forums. Very helpful, responsive, and fair. You, and many others here were also extremely helpful from the beginning (open1your1eyes0), so its definitely been a collective effort.
... well, literally a collective effort
I see no failure by the bounty op whatsoever. @Demiurge7 you helped set the bar for what we value so much, root. If anything I'd hope this has also restored the faith of devs out there. Despite trolls a lack of thanks, there are people willing to recognize the hard work and donate accordingly.
Also, my donation absolutely still stands and I hope all others will as well.

Thanks dude. And nothing spam will be spam because you talking about something is really important and something we need. BUT this it should be in the general section I think.
But if the demo units have the hboot eng s-off, why is HTC taking time on time for this update? :/
This Threads will go if we have root ... so let them open -.- we dont need more and more threads ^^ but this is not the solution!
This entire subforum is filled with idiots posting nothing but PR blurbs, fantasies and crack-pot theories that make no ****ing sense and have zero relevance to the task at hand. This pathetic echo chamber of retardation is a major reason why I returned the Sensation for an already-rooted device.
The decision to return the device was a no-brainer between the Sensation having zero developer traction and a user-base so dumb that Sidekick owners look like Mensa material in comparison.

The only thing I truly dislike is people who don't know any better posting over and over again with the same no-value-added bullcrap. Why should we be nice to noobs who copy-pasta from press releases? Don't give me that "you were a noob once, too" argument because it's bull****. When I was a noob, I didn't run around like a headless chicken spouting worthless drivel. And I certainly didn't waste time on discussion forums. I was out teaching myself the material necessary to complete the project at hand. How many of these noob ****tards do you think are actually here to learn something or contribute code to a project? ****all zero. That's how many.
(I am not taking a personal shot at you, Sleef, or you, Flippy, I'm just pissed off and I happen to be voicing my concerns about these forums after your posts and in relation to your posts. I know what I'm saying is offensive - that part is on purpose - but I want you to know that my hate is directed toward this subforum in general and the noobs who account for its massive dead weight.)

I purposely did not check out a lot of the post complaining about the G2x because I'm personally not facing any of these issues especially since the update. The only issue I am having is the stock camera being dark instead of LG's original camera, so what post do you think I constantly look into? FLAK0's post about porting LG's Camera to Gingerbread.

Lol its a beautiful day in Orlando. I'm great to be honest. And I actually am usually not so bothered by other's complaints, especially not to the point of starting a new thread. I think I've only started one other thread on here and it was about features and tips on using the phone. But there has just been something about the way everyone here keeps talking about the G2X that drives me nuts (that reminds me of a pirate joke of you ever want to hear it). A good constructive complaint is actually helpful but most of what has been posted here, especially since this update started rolling out, has been pathetic whining from people about how T-Mobile and LG have F'd them all and how they are entitled to some sort of retribution. It really is nonsense.
The G2X is one of the fastest and most powerful phones on the market. It had some hiccups at first but its getting better. The software update came out fairly quickly in my opinion. And we have greet dev support for this phone. I don't see much to complain about. No product is perfect, ever. That's why you modify and make it your own and figure out how to improve it to suit your own needs.
Do I let people get to me usually? No. But it is getting out of hand here. Maybe me posting this doesn't help a thing but maybe someone will read it and take a step back and look at how awesome this phone really is.
G2X CM7
Yep it's an awesome phone alright. I do agree. But took me five to get a good one.
And there are still many people out there with defective phones.
I say again. IMO, you people who are complaining about the whiners are bigger whiners. This qualifies as needless harassment of people who are just trying to get some straight answers about their phones.
If you go to the LG site, you will see that the responses to legitmate questions are still being ignored. There are still many people who cannot download the update at all. The camera is screwed up ? It's a failure when so many people are having problems. It looks to me like the ones that are bad in the first place are still not working after the update.
I resent my fellow xdaers attacking me and others and I resent the name calling. I sincerely feel that all of you making these comments are worse than me who is simply standing up for my rights. If you want to be an apologist who thinks because you have a good phone or few problems the rest of us should just roll over that's fine. But I stand by my opinions. And I'll continue to patricipate in the discussions which is my right and prerorative.
Bottom line? Polls are still being made that show the rate of unhappiness or bad phones is at least 2 out of 3 or worse.
And sorry, but I still think that each of you who continues to dog people are the biggest jerks here . Why don't you just SHUT THE HELL UP. You've all repeated it over and over. I get it, you think I'm a jerk. I think you're jerks. And every time you call me a jerk, I'll just keep calling you one. You want to act like a child, I'll play.
It just bothers me to see you aholes spewing your hate. So we can just go ahead and make this thread like eight pages. Then another butthead can make another thread attacking his fellow G2Xers then that will go on for days ad nauseum. It's the same BS over and over. I'm sick of it. You have started a needless useless post attacking others for needless useless posts..and you all still have the sack to defend it? Pitiful.
I wish the mods would help. Nip this crap will you? It really is pitiful.Why they allowed this thread to stay I don't know. I consider it hateful baiting. By a troll with nothing better to do than make duplicate posts that do nothing to help anyone..
Ok I'm a newer member here, but not to hacking and yes I posted a thread yesterday about the HTC reps givin the ok to state that the Thunderbolt would be getting Gingerbread in the 3rd quarter. I only put it up because it was being reported on other forums and maybe just maybe someone would care....
I never expected to be slammed by memebers of this forum for doing so because I only have "4" post. You cant post on the Development board unless you have 10 post???So how does somebody get thier if the put up something and it's slamed all over. I can really understand why all the Devs are RUNNING away from XDA. The personality of this forum is really awfull. I will probably be kicked off here after this and I really don't care thier are numerous forums around and I did post the same thread on a couple other board and not one of then slammed me for doing so and locked the thread. I have gingerbread so I don'r really care when it comes down but it would be nice to have an official rom for the DEVS to work with..
Thanks for the pleasantries XDA

Man, you people have such a sense of entitlement. No one pays for these forums. No one is begging you to stay or sign up.
Therefore if you don't like the forums, don't stay. But continuing to post threads complaining about your experience is stupid.

I myself posted to your thread and my rant was more towards the news itself. Against the reps and stuff continiously blowing smoke up our a$$. Sorry if you felt it was a personal attach on you as a poster.
I have experience both sides. Some people here are super nice, understand that some are noobs and will go through great lenghts to help you out. Others gets off on bashing people and acting like they are the sh!t when they are probably some techy geek living in their moms basement.

this is exactly what I'm talking about, there isn't much info here anymore they all took it to other sights. I'm pretty laid back personaly but I had to have a say about what I've seen here since March when I got my Thunderbolt..I*'m not complaining just stating facts and it seems that alot of people agree..

I don't remember reading anything anywhere that stated you had the authority to say who can/cannot post here, or whether or not they should "go somewhere else."
The OP makes a good point. What's worse, someone making an observation that might help others think twice before they slam someone, or someone replying to a post with no other motive than to play king and tell someone s/he is stupid and telling s/he to go somewhere else?
It's pretty obvious which is the more mature of the two methods.
There have been times where I thought someone's information was lacking credibility. I've asked questions, but haven't taken cheap shots. What's the point?

Exactly why Team Bamf left...I haven't checked these forums since Bamf left and this is one of the first things I see! Another reason why Bamf will always be the best, with the best Devs, Themers, Contributors, members, etc! Glad to be a member of such a great team of devs and themers! Bunch of uncivilized people on here that don't know how to act. Unbelievable...Everyone needs to drop whatever they're on and get Bamf'd. Getting ready for a sick rom drop...(I know b/c I've tested it, themed it, and played with it!)

What do you mean....'you people'?
I have seen some extremely helpful people on here thats why i come here. I do go to other forums for some things because thats where the dev's for certain things went. Some people have been treated very unfairly on this forum and no it shouldn't be like that. Personally I have had people say stupid stuff to me but in the end ya gotta realize with this many people on here there are bound to be those with no social skills at all who's intellectual capacity goes just below the Waterboy. Block em, bleep em or beat em with your own wit. I realize that being on any forum and in fact just being on the internet means there are those who take on internet personas of being the baddest dude in the world. Fuhgeddaboutit. If thats what a person has to do to make themselves feel better i make my comments then i talk around them. Or I'll let them know their comments mean less to me than what i clean off my shoes after mowing the lawn..(stupid neighbor dog grr)
"Can't we all just get along?" No, probably not.
To the douchebags out there who find time to bash people who post here............pfltttttttttttt. Go climb a mountain empty your worldly frustrations then come back, grab a latte, and lets chat.
That's my two cents.
I agree with the OP. I frequent completely different sets of threads and it's the same everywhere. Why take the time to post something negative? Why? As much as people complain about contributing to the community, flaming posts certainly do not . Oh well, when something such as the internet exists, some people will use that avenue to be abrasively rude and inconsiderate. Etiquette applies in all social interaction situations, not just in person .

Ok I'm a newer member here, but not to hacking and yes I posted a thread yesterday about the HTC reps givin the ok to state that the Thunderbolt would be getting Gingerbread in the 3rd quarter. I only put it up because it was being reported on other forums and maybe just maybe someone would care....
I never expected to be slammed by memebers of this forum for doing so because I only have "4" post. You cant post on the Development board unless you have 10 post???So how does somebody get thier if the put up something and it's slamed all over. I can really understand why all the Devs are RUNNING away from XDA. The personality of this forum is really awfull. I will probably be kicked off here after this and I really don't care thier are numerous forums around and I did post the same thread on a couple other board and not one of then slammed me for doing so and locked the thread. I have gingerbread so I don'r really care when it comes down but it would be nice to have an official rom for the DEVS to work with..
Thanks for the pleasantries XDA

Ya know, its not so much we just wanna beat on a guy. It's that SO MANY threads have been started. Last time the gullible fool even posted a link to a pic to the absolute fakest looking "corporate memo" I'd ever seen. A lot of people were lapping that crap up and I called them idiots then. Some people actually believed a Verizon rep posted in this forum earlier this week too. Uh.... No, that didn't happen either. Between threads like "Verizon says gingerbread is coming!" threads and the horribly mangled English so often used, I'm beginning to think forums in general are magnets for the least intelligent forms of life walking upright. It's not just Android forums. It's forums on just about every subject imaginable. I think its because nobody ever calls someone stupid when they say something really stupid. A great way to flush your credibility down the toilet is to post a thread like you did. XDA is XDA because they tend to hold themselves to a higher standard. Go look at most other android forums. Most of the development threads are copy and pastes of XDA threads. That's not changing. I'm gonna ask real nice that you please think real hard about what you post here. Maybe check to see how many threads exactly like your proposed thread already exist. Lots of people post questions and comments all the time to good reception. It really is just the foolish nature of your subject matter.

I don't jack people off with their own ass-backwards ideas just to get along. I don't say anything here I wouldn't say to your face. Not all ideas are valid and worthy of equal consideration. Stupid NEEDS to be called stupid and made fun of. I'd like to live in a world where when stupid people spoke they got laughed out of the room. I can hardly believe people buy some of the insanity and lies they're sold most of the time.
I'm new to posting myself... I've been waiting in the weeds for sometime now, reading the thread for Synergy ROM for a long time. I've got only 4 or 5 posts as well. So far, I haven't had any bad reactions to posts, PM's or even contacting one of the Devs on G+ for the only issue I couldn't manage to figure out on my own.
To the OP:
Try to remember where you are when you post. You are in a forum that is populated with many experienced, sharp people, who know a great deal about this platform. Those that are the MOST knowledgeable typically don't even post. It's those who *think* they know a lot who do. Sadly, uninformed questions do not simply get ignored. Think of it as walking into a medical convention and asking a large population of surgeons why anesthesia is necessary during surgery. They expect that you know some minimal facts before asking a question.
Sadly, these same intelligent people browse the General and QandA sections for posts such as yours to flame you for no reason. Not everyone here is that way, but clearly there are many.
I lurked here for a year, before ever signing up and posting anything simply because it was clear some knowlege is necessary to root, mod, theme and customize your phone. And it was clear that many of my questions had already been answered simply by looking.
Don't get discouraged, read, then read some more. There is a lot to learn, but most of it isn't that hard. And don't pay any attention to the negativity - it only feeds the problem.

It's the moderation. There will always be assholes on popular forums. It's up to the moderators to weed out the jerks. Only way.
Really smart move from the mods in xda, to remove the most active and helpful dev for the mt4gs forum, just for past personal issues... I didnt get along good with him, but he was very helpful, always participated and with his contributions encouraged more devs to work for the mt4gs.
Once again, not very smart mods... Forums are meant to be open, not restricted, as long as its regarding the topic of the forum, and that's all he did.
I might get banned and/or this post deleted, but i just had to give my opinion. Boop.

From what I noticed is he was soooo arrogant and rude. He was always quick to jump on a noob for posting something wrong but as soon as you said something about one of his ROMs he would get pissy with you. Good riddance.

Yes its true he was rude, but nevertheless he would help you out, not like other devs wich you might get lucky if they respond a question of yours.

Yes he is in rootzwiki and now so am I, but i really liked the simplicity in this forum... Oh well...

Have you ever had to do something you didn't want to because it was your job? Let's face it, the mods don't ban people for topics list this, they allow you to express opinions, etc. But if they allow everyone the leniency you are asking for, this entire forum would be a mess. There are few things that actually get you banned, and undead violated a few of them, several times. It sucks big big balls for us, but look at the big picture before calling out the admins. Overall, this entire forum is a better place because of what they do, positive or not.

This is a knee-jerk fear based response from the clowns in charge here. It happens in a lot of places. There are TWO kinds of rude people -- stupid rude, and brilliant rude. Brilliant+nice practically doesn't exist on this planet. It is because there is a natural friction between intellect and ignorance. Neither can see from each other's perspective because their perspectives are so absolutely foreign to each other. It ends in a great deal of frustration between the two groups, which ultimately comes out as RUDENESS.
In both directions.
Now fact of the matter is that if you ban everyone who is RUDE, you ban everyone you actually need in order for this system to work to begin with. You can have developers who are rude mixed in with users who are not nearly as knowledgeable, or you can ban everyone with knowledge and intelligence and have a bunch of whiny users, among whom there is not a single one with the ability to actually push the PURPOSE of the forum to being with.
Two choices: Either accept a bit of rudeness and condescension, OR, shoot yourself in the head. Can't have it both ways.

Basically this is correct.
If any of you recall TeamPokerFace, we banned him many months ago for several reasons, including a lot of epic kanging and being a read idiot.

Creating a new account just to get around a ban is something we never have and never will allow, regardless if they have "changed" or not.

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...it has NOTHING to do with anyone being rude...so please refrain from making stupid assumptions about us
And now that you have the reason, there's no longer a need for this thread to remain open.
I can't stand to read this site these days. Everytime there's a post some self important ass has to jump and tell the person posting just how stupid they are for making the post. If you xda experts don't want to the rest if us here then lock it down. It would be no great loss. There's nothing here that can't be found in 100 other places.
For some reason this site seems to encourage rude moderators that love to trash people especially if someone failed to find existing threads using the terrible search tools provided. Maybe xda just can't carry the weight created by its success. One thing is sure and that is if it doesn't change a lot of people with go elsewhere....

Just take it with a grain of salt man...there are douches everywhere but I mean without the developers we wouldn't we able to accomplish much, if anything. And most of the other forums I've seen directly get their info or sources from XDA. Its ok, hug time?
Thanks for the hug... It's not about me I can hold my own and enjoy giving it back. What bothers me is when someone clearly struggling to post and is asking for hlep (And English may not even be their language) then one of these dicks trashes them. I just looked at one where a guy asked how to find a specific item, he got an answer that said check the xxxxx forum and we are not your slave so don't expect us to do it for you. Who talks like that and why aren't they stomped on for acting that way. He gave an answer then added the boot. I see that everywhere here.
The people who respond here do it for their own reasons. It's nice when people help and I have found some helpful threads. Still when I see stuff like the one above I start to think there are people here who get off on acting that way. Being a developer doesn't mean doing sick stuff is OK.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Yeah I agree but I mean some people are gonna be douches regardless of the question asked. I'm also inclined to think there are more decent people on XDA that like helping people as opposed to bashing them so even if the douche answers first, doesnt mean he represents XDA...
and this is why people lurk...
...or ... why i have lurked for so long
but now i just dont care...
so.... here goes nothing
There should be a Douche button, just like a Thanks button.

While I don't agree with people being rude please understand that this is a developers site. Not a tech support site, not a rom flashing site, and not a cool place to be site. It was made by developers for developers. And sometimes people can get rude. That is what the report button is for.
I like this site, and the way I see it,
They are sick of repeat posts, it's like people aren't bothering even looking anymore for what they need, they just post... As I have made that mistake a few times... That said i my self use the Site for my personal use or for the work I do but I ALWAYS give credit where it counts and is a great site for this Canadian to learn the ways of the DROID...
Also i mean maybe some devs like to poke fun, maybe they are tired of people taking time away from thier great works... Who knows, I talk to, a few decent people on here and have learnt alot and intended on learning more when my desktop is back up and running...

i agree, xda really needs a douchee button. im also new here, but i been using the forums for a while, just rencently registered and i have gotten all the info i need, so basicly yes, the douches are somewhat right, but they should just say it a little more politely
I just saying that there is no excuse for treating posters badly. I've been a registered user for more than a year but I find myself coming here less and less because I can find as good or better info on other sites and most don't have the xda attitude.
I want to be clear that most people don't act this way and that plenty of nice helpful people respond here every day. The point I'm making is that there are a few that need to be cleaned up. I hadn't thought of the report button but in the future I will use it freely. Maybe that will get the attention of the powers that be.
It would be interesting to start a thread on the xda **** of the day. People could cut and paste insulting behavior into the thread including the name of the poster. Every day/week members could vote. I bet it would dry up fast....:thumbup:

Really, Really???
Makes me laugh when people chant that mantra of "this is a developers site. Not a tech support site, not a rom flashing site......". maybe when the site was made 5,6 years ago it was a developers site. But things grow and evolve as is in the human nature. XDA has evolved into more than just a Dev site, its a site for development, education and learning.
It amuses me when people try to alienate the devs from the users. Don't give excuses for rude or egotistical people, if someone is in doubt, use your knowledge to help him or shut up. afterall, the great devs of today all learnt from scratch. Nobody was born with code in their brain from the womb (except chuck norris ). Because the way this site is going its going to drive users away from its fold.
And when you succeed in alienating the noobs, and xda becomes a dev-only site, who will test the bugs in the developers' software? how will developed apps get publicity? I know some devs who've made alot of money from donations for their software; heck, this site's servers are supported by donations from users.
XDA is a leader in development and mobile collaboration and we've seen the amount of clout and influence XDA has, the mobile companies HTC,Samsung, motorola all hear the voice of XDA (as evidenced by htc's bootloader unlocking, htc dev, making motorola answer for locking bootloaders) but dont think that XDA will have such influence if all of the over 4 million users are gone and like 1000 developers ( if they are even that many) remain.
Also I'm not excusing some very stupid people who ask the wrong questions, and don't follow rules.for example, I only registered here last year but I've followed this site for 3 years. If I had a problem, I also come here to search and I always got my answer. I only had to register when I got the lenovo thinkpad, which didn't have any active development forum so I could post a question. So I guess I'm one of those who likes to search before posting.
The summary of everything I just said is help people who are truly in need of it, (not the silly ones) and XDA isn't a dev only site.

Well I disagree on this one point, if they don't take the time to try and look it up and find it on their own it does give you the right to be a little rude, because that's pretty rude of them, expecting you to take time out of your day to give them an answer when they don't take any of their own time to even try..but, of course, I'm not in favor of going crazy on them..just enough let them know that's unacceptable
I don't like rude people too, and I met quite a few here...
I do am agree thus, that newcomers should look VERY well into the proper thread and all over XDA site.
I like to help when I can and if I can, but I have seen more and more often people asking simple questions like:
"someone can show me some guide?" or " does an xperia thread exist?"
Well don't need help really for this question, is just enough to search..
I guess developers or user generally can get tired of this.
However I am agree that some users normally answer by jokes or in a rude way, although people like this could be everywhere..
Sometimes you have to be rude to let people know they should google first before they post a question

I think most users dont consider themselves entitled or expect any helpful posts in regards to their questions, I'm sure they're just hoping someone can point them into the right direction. I've searched and gathered everything I needed to know myself but its not like I ever expected another user to help me. I figure if users want to help other users, awesome, but don't give attitude when doing so.

I understand but to a point, there's no need to curse at someone and be rude just because he asked a question even if its been asked before a 1000 times, if you don't like the question he asked then don't answer it, I see that a lot on here, noob ask a question then gets an answer "why do you ask so many questions?" I thought to myself why does it matter to you its a q&a forum, just skip over the post or answer the question with some respect without rude remarks
