Clean up stickies? [MODERATOR HAS READ THIS] - Captivate Android Development

There are way to many stickies in this section. Does anyone else think we can combine the "thread deleted or locked" "general rules we should all follow" and the "GPL" posts all into one big post.

I vote to sticky this thread.

And while we are at it, we should delete the captivate bible. The last time it was updated was AGES ago. If a moderator is willing to delete it I will repost it (and update it) gladly.

There are just 9 stickies!

Yes, I agree. I was going to make a new one but then I realized that we would have 2 directories stickied for a total of 10 stickies. The old one needs to go so I can make a new one.

Yeah it's missing a lot of info and a lot of what's there is antiquated (though not as bad as that other bible).

A bible by definition is a collection of ancient writings, so perhaps it should be called the hitchhiker's guide or something....
Also the title of the first sticky, "cheetsheet" is incorrect, unless it was intentional for some reason....

use firefox and install this if it really bothers you

Stuff like this is reserved for the off-topic section. Or how about the two of you just PM each other instead of cluttering up threads with your nonsense like in Incubus' Skyfire Beta thread where you've turned an otherwise useful thread into your own personal conversation about drugs and porn?

In theory, this is reserved for the Vogue General Section and not Off-Topic, as this relates to Vogue (shouldn't be under Android Dev section, so I will have to agree on that). Please if you are going to try to moderate a forum, make sure that you don't come out as trying to start a flame war by being disrespectful. If you have something to say about a thread, there is a small icon shaped like a triangle with an exclamation mark on the top right of every post. Clicking on that sends a pm to all mods and admins where you can write and inform them if the thread/post is either out of place, rude, improper (anything that doesn't fall under the site rules). The mods will take any necessary action.

I like the Faux Droids. Has a nice ring to it.
Moved as not Development.

Etiquette... Please Read

Some of us (noob and non-noob) do a few things that make XDA not as enjoyable for all of us.
1 - Please do NOT make MULTIPLE threads on the same topic (5 topics on page 1 are by the same person, 4 of which are all related to the same topic). Wouldn't ONE thread with everything be nicer for the OP and ALL of XDA?
2 - Edit your posts - if you forgot to say something or you need to word it better, just edit your initial post, no need to make more clutter.
3 - Be respectful... as much as you can tolerate.
4 - Try and help if you can.
5 - Rather than go back and forth in a thread (arguing/talking), PM the person. Hint, WE do NOT care.
6 - Developer's ROM threads are for THAT purpose, developing. It is NOT to be compared to another rom, and nobody cares if you are about to flash it.
7 - Post in the correct section! This is not hard... questions go in the Q&A. Apps/Themes go there... ONLY developers should post new threads in the development section. General is a catch all for everything else, related to the Vibrant.
8 - Spell Etiquette correctly (I'm flashing Gingerbread on my Nexus, doing this while backing up.... my excuse )
Also, if you feel a thread like this IS the issue.... you may need to look in the mirror.
may want to edit title, it's spelled etiquette...
just friendly heads up before the flaming starts lol
psst...! i think you mean "etiquette".
you might wanna add "please take your disagreements outside of the thread or just agree to disagree".
i dunno about you, but i'm getting sick of seeing arguments when reading threads in the dev section. ~_~
Is this topic meant for that person that rides x's?
WOW, thanks guys... my mind is somewhere else. Fixed the OP. I will continue to add if more come up, but these seemed needed now.

It's meant for EVERYONE. Not trying to call anyone out.
Awesome post. If the xda app had a thanks button, I'd use it. I'd be using the report button, too. A LOT.
Mods need to bust out the ban stick and use it excessively.

I'm sorry if i did, but which are the exact same threads? I'm not sure i made the exact same threads 3 times.
Can you possibly tell me their title or link?
Here is another one. Comments in a rom are supposed to be for that rom only. Ie. Bugs fixes, performance, etc. You should NOT compare roms.. Ex. " boomers" rom is much faster than this... " comments like this are pointless and do nothing for the development of the rom the thread is about.

I'm sorry?
I posted the first thread "vibrant comes with 2.2!" because i'd made a thread a day or two ago asking if Vibrants now come with 2.2
Everyone on the thread said NO.
I wanted to let people know that it does, because i just got a refurb with 2.2.
the second was a question kind-of.
I was wondering why people were hating on stock ROMS because i had great experiences with it. (not 2.1) Everyone on this forum says "STAY AWAY FROM STOCK, ITS LAGGY!!!!" I wanted to oppose that because i had no problems what-so-ever with that.
I don't see how their related just because they both have something to do with 2.2 though.
I really dont see what ya'lls problem w/xrider is, his posts may have been similar but they are still different.
This is an open forum and with so many new people coming and going it will always be like this,theres no way to control it,and in trying to do so will only create undue stress
The only way it can be some what "controled" is to make it a closed forum :-(
And by editing does it bring in new viewers not likely.
Imho i dislike cyber arguing but some times it apperently takes a lil cyber flogging to set some straight or get rid of the bashers
This is in no way a negitive post towards the OP nor anyone else

+1 Agree totally. Singling out some person just creates a feud and that is rarely productive. The real issue is for people to try and remember that when writing in the thread, sarcasm, double entendres, and other other verbal expressions rarely make sense in written form. Plus, the macho adolescent comments do not go over well either.
My best advice and rule that always works is this :
Try to make your comments so if your parents or some one you respect was reading they would understand what you are saying and the intent.
Follow that rule and you will never have problems (of course unless you are a sociopath-)

ATTENTION PLEASE regarding J.Anderson

hey guys. thought id fill you in on some info then ask for a favour
as you all know j.Anderson is a tremendous pain in the kneck. and has been banned for being one.
however another thread popped where you all speculated its was his second account. the thread was deleted but im here to tell you it was his account.
the reason im telling you this is because now i know he is not beyond making sock-puppets to make stupid posts
so the favour i want to ask is, if you see a post that seem familiar in wording or content. as well as reporting via the correct methods could you also let me know.
weve had this issue before with another user not long before 2.1 was due to be released and i dont want it to happen again
thanks in advance
PiLoT
Will do, chief!
I am absolutely convinced that he is mentally ill, possibly even schizophrenic. I think he really believes that he has some secret or unique knowledge. Some of his posts at talk.sonyericsson.com are even more puzzling.
yeah i agree his posts are nonsensical. i remembered the other user i had trouble with. Its was iHim.
Looks like the neighborhood watch is now in effect! We'll be on the lookout! That goober's posts stick out like a flasher in a trenchcoat at the playground and he's likely in the same state of mind.

From the first sticky on this forum:
"So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?"

If everybody started doing this, it'd be kind of ridiculous here... Unstoppable flooding of threads that should be replies... However, I guess it would at least it'd make it SEEM like things were moving a little faster in the HD7 forum.
The development forums are for sharing something you've developed and wish to support here. Not for reposting stuff so you can link to pay-per-click sites.
