Why am I not allowed to ask a simple question in the developers forums????

I'm sorry XDA but this wait ten post thing is retarted. I have to come to Q and A to ask a question that is relevant to something int the developers forums? No one replies to anything in the Q&A anyway. Just my little rant...sorry.

Whets your question and was it a new post you wanted to make?

Its to try and reduce spam made in the developer forum. Most questions have already been answered in various threads anyways. Unless its something odd or unique

I just wanted to ask a question in the tastemybeans thread which just received an update today. Since the OP didn't put up a change log I simply wanted to ask if the simultaneous voice and data was fixed in the current build. No one else asked this question but this site makes it impossible to new members to ask a simple question like that.

Because new members generally post new threads in the dev section. They don't read the rules.
I know a lot of others think what I do, there should be a test before getting to post in the dev section. If you fail, no posting, if you pass but don't follow the rules, instant ban.

Taste of beans is just a slightly modified version of incubus26jc tw jb. Follow the incubus26jc thread if you want to see whats coming out. Incubus26jc has been doing all the heavy lifting.
And if you bothered to read the taste of beans thread you would see that remfi said he won't post a change log.
And that is why you cannot post in dev.

It would have taken you half the time to flash it and find out then to come here/whine/artificially inflate your post count.
But hey congrats, you are halfway there to being eligible to clog other people's threads on the Development Board :good:

douchey much? you guys are the XDA elite and know so much!!! seriously though did you get punked a lot at school by the bullies so you have to bully here? no one i know who has a real life with either school or a job has time to read every post of every thread, or even every post that shows up in a search one does for a particular topic. even then your bound to quickly skip by it if you are skimming. so instead of being dicks welcome a new member to the community and embrace. either way if the OP wants to reply to this thread 5 for times so you get 10 posts go for it... **** everyone else .i think your question and reason to post is legit and yes i read the rules and yes i have been an xda member probably longer than you have been alive.
looks like the OP has been a member for a while too.. just a lurker and not a poster which to me means he better understands the rules more than anyone

Which has nothing to do with the question I have to ask. The taste of beans was updated TODAY and the Question I wanted to ask was about an update TODAY so regardless if it this is the last update of that Rom or not still doesn't invalidate my question. And for your information I do look through before asking anything and I did also look through incubus26jc thread and realize touchof beans is based on that rom. I may be a noob to XDA (although I signed up a while ago just generally used other android sites) but I'm not new to the rooting, hacking and flashing game. I'm just saying you guys act so Elite in here compared to other sites and it's a very unfriendly atmosphere. You are the proof.

I actually like the ten post rule. I think it should be 50
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

The rules are fantastic, I think it should be more than ten thanked posts personally.
The system works well to get you involved with all that's going on in our little neck of the site. I've enjoyed being active for the short time i have been and the process of being involved has answered most questions I would have posted prior as a complete noobs. If your just seeking answers and not participating there is no reason to even consider clogging the dev section.
It was cool to gain access to the dev area, but I have yet to post there. That's because I haven't needed to. Most things ARE covered in q&a.
Leave the devs alone, post your questions like everyone else and it will be answered.

Anyone here can be fair-minded and act as such.
You came here and unfortunately whined - I saw one of your earlier posts which had almost the exact same complaints at the time, responded to your post to explain that it's the common practice here and why, yet you never followed up.
Who is creating an unfriendly atmosphere?
You don't seem to be respecting the rules or even care to understand why they were written. We're all equal under such rules, except the Admins/Mods.

Well in the interest of stopping this thread before people start getting bana, no the voice and data it's not fixed and according to the incubus thread probably will not be until we see Verizon leaks (since beans is based off incubus).

i will play both devils advocate AND supporter of the rules here...
first i just signed up for an account today and tried to post a q in dev and got booted, so i am in q and a answering post to "prove myself" while i dont like the hassle i understand that someone (maybe alot of people) will come here and download a rom, not follow instructions, then try and flame hard working devs or post questions that have been answered over and over. this HAS to be annoying to other logn term members so i understand the ruels in place...
On the flip side i have been actively reading XDA for a while now, i just never posted questions or thanks... however on a post like the kellywiz rom (which is GREAT, using it now with a few reboots but nothing major) their are 187 pages of comments, do you really expect me to read through all pages to find an answer? i dont... i read the last 5 pages or so and if i dont see anything relevant to my issue i goto ask a question...
I see alot of repeat questions on here, not in separate threads (although i only read threads i am interested in) but multiple "useless" seeming coments to post that ask about a problem that was already answered a few pages ago, but the comment's poster asked again, and they have over 100 post to their credit, but they dont read through post either, so whats the actual difference?
i am not bucikng the system, i have belonged to many forums, but long time posters can be just as or more annoying then new posters...

Good response man. It's like starting a new job, no matter your skill set your gonna be treated as inferior. It's just important to follow the rules and not get mad. Strong thought out arguments should go far and set a precedence for the type of user you are.

Why are ROM suggestion threads disappearing?

Its incredibly annoying. Do mods not realize how useful it is for people to know what the most usable/stable ROMs are instead of spending months of trial and error to figure it out? Never been on a device forum that's so overzealous in thread locking.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Rom suggestion threads count as "x rom is better than y rom" threads, which lead to arguments and flaming (which has actually happened)
I wish people weren't dumb enough to start fighting over roms because threads like that could be useful. Like me, I know nothing about rooting and roms. If I wanted to root and flash a rom, I'd have to spend potentially hours reading about different roms to decide on one that won't mess my phone up.
Sucks, but that's the way it is.

Some would say "that's being spoon fed information", but I'd rather be on here asking for a good rom than asking why my phone won't start up.

Because its personal preference and nobody is exactly the same those threads cause issues amongst users and developers alike this thread needs locked

Well wrong section. Now as to why I don't allow them because suggestions are subjective to each user, lead to "mine is better than yours" which then leads to flame wars. Also if you don't want to read and try them out yourself you might be in the wrong forum. Thread locked

The pointless threads will never end. And questions in General will never end. You would thinking checking Yes to "Is this a question?" and seeing the [Q] appear in the title would light a bulb in their heads telling them they should be posting in Q&A. But then again, you would also think that checkbox would automatically post it in Q&A.

Look, this is an apology to everyone about a post I submitted yesterday, but I am NOT sorry for what I was trying to say, I login to get information on different things, and in order to even get where you want to go, you have to sift thru the same stuff over and over, like today, 5 threads started with the same info I saw on tech news sites everywhere, so the google phone is going to be released, what in the heck does it have to be here, in this forum in 5 threads, I am looking for fixes not tech news. Again, an apology was in order. This post is to all that are here for the same purpose I am, to try different things out on our phones, can't we at least stay on that subject?
Lets move on please.

I know, I saw where you were trying to politely say that..Pretty soon, it is going to be full of this type stuff, but on another note, I think what is happening is everyone is getting in a hurry to do something with this device, and there is nothing more than root for 1st timers. And there will be alot of them, coming very soon, and the search option can be at times for new people a nightmare. We are going to be in trouble, or the moderators are going to be super busy with the volume that is fixing to flood this site.

That was removed because the report system was changed. But on the XDA App tap the message, hit more, hit open in Browser and you can then hit the triangle to report a post.

When you see redundant threads please report it and in the report link to the first or in the redundant thread to make it easier to close and redirect these useless threads.
Thanks guys :good:

You will have less to worry about because there will only be 10 people there to follow the rules.
The real reason that there are useless threads is because there are so many people checking in here. Most aren't your normal XDA member. Most just bought the phone and want to hang out somewhere to talk about it. They have no idea that the phone black clips, lags, or has a locked bootloader. They read threads, find problems that they weren't aware of and then ask questions.
These people also keep the numbers up and view the advertising that XDA needs to survive. So its not all one sided.

Blaze Owners, Any Problems With This Idea?

So Meticulus brought up an interesting point in his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45773425#post45773425 about the Exhilarate and Blaze being merged into one forum here in XDA. I don't know if I'm violating any XDA rules here, but does anyone have an issue with them just starting to post their ROM's and what-not here in our forum? I don't see an issue as long as the title states which phone a particular something is for. If they get their own forum, great! If not, then they have a place to start putting their stuff for the other Exhilarate users. These guys have done amazing things for us and this is the least we can do.
Anyone have an issue with this? Am I stepping past what I can suggest on XDA?

I couldnt agree more njstein, the work that has been done for the Exhilarate is awesome. I say merge teh 2 forumns together and lets share the wealth with each other

[REQ] Rom dump

If we could get a rom dump from some nice and caring One Plus owner that would be awesome and start development off for this device.

nobody has their oneplus yet. its already been stated that someone will post a rom dump. there was no need for this thread.

People have the device, just not the public and this thread will allow people to have to search less for a answer buried in a different thread.

people have said they will post a dump when they get one. and they will probably post their own thread and not in here. so this thread is unnecessary and only buries other threads.
