So, most other phones have a q&a section, so why dont we? That would probably keep people from posting questions in development. Thanks!

There is. It is stickied in the epic4g development section.

But a Q & A thread in the General section isn't a bad idea - some questions have absolutely nothing to do with development, and everything to do with the already-developed.
And some questions don't need an entire thread, just one post to ask and one post to answer. Topics worthy of a full guide should then be the only questions with dedicated threads (and the OP can update the first post as new information comes in, compiling it all in one easy to find place)

Also if you have a separate section for Q/A, you can differentiate between different topics, instead of searching through the Q/A topic on the Dev section. Not to sound lazy, but it would be easier to search via topics in a specified Q/A section.
The hero has a q&a section, and it made things a lot easier to ask questions because no one was on your ass for being curious about something.

+1000000000000000 on this!
I have seen countless amounts of topics that are always moved because of confusion, or get bagged on for asking something dumb.
With a Q&A section, people would be free of asking a question, and with all the questions in one place, it may be easier to find the topic you're looking for.
Thank my post if you want a seperate q&a section like the nexus s, evo, captivate, hero, etc. has!

Ok, I got a pm from an admin and he said that he can't control if the Epic gets a q&a and that there are requirements to get one. Sorry guys
Sent from my Epic that craves frozen yogurt
Im curious to know what those requirements are because I would like to see one as well.

Im willing to help get a q&a section if I can. All I need are some detailed instructions telling me what I have to do.

What are the requirements? I don't understand why they couldn't just add one.
I've been curious about this absence for a while, but never said anything. Thanks for bringing it up.

How is it a scapegoat? No one cares enough for someone to be blamed or there to be fall out.
Please just add a Q&A board. It would definitely cut down on the stupid froyo topics and the like.

After XDA mods have pushed another DEV away with the recent events on ptfmedic's Autism blog voting thread, in site of all the threads that have nothing to do with Epic. Tell them here that you want an off-topic thread!

+1 how about a community off topic forum eh mods?
Sent from the communications console of the NX-01 using a universal translator
I guess we need to be the first section other than general to get an off topic section. Our users are ridiculous.

I sent email earlier today for this exact request. As you can see I am not the only one that wants this!
Edit: I will hit thanks tomorrow ran out of thanks today.
I personally like this idea but I can see how it may get out of hand. Flagging thread for mod/admin review.

I agree, I do personally think you're correct.
I do also think its a fine idea for all phone forums going forward though.

Thank you. Anything to stop our users from complaining about everything.

we dont need an off topic within the epic section. we need a cage.
How many moderators do we have for the epic section? Is it just a had full of moderators for all areas of xda? Just seems like moderators are popping out of nowhere? Funny thing is haven't even heard of such people and posts are being closed left and right.

How about a Epic chit chat forum so they can throw all the threads in there....like this one.. I do not like seeing them. I want to see Epic threads.
All the vote for me...go click this..charity messages need to go. Everyone has issues whether it be physical, financial or whatever, nobodys life is perfect. If everyone decided to start a thread about their relatives sickness or some bill they got hit with this place would be 10 times the mess that it is now.
I am fine with the charity stuff in your signatures as they can be shut off.
I vote for immediate deletion of any threads that don't fall under the category named in the title of the forum - so if it isn't Epic related, it should be in another section. If it isn't smart phone related, it belongs on a completely different website.
As far as social topics, XDA has no need to compete with facebook/google+/etc...

This thread is redundant now that you have an off topic thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1176704
So, I decided to make this thread for anyone here at XDA with questions concerning giffgaff, who don't want to go to the giffgaff community.
You could live abroad and have questions on giffgaff, or you may just have a question.
I am an avid community member, and I am often updated with information.
Sorry if this isn't allowed, but I don't see why it shouldn't be.
Maybe get it stickied?
Thanks,
Liam
I opened a giffgaff thread myself a while back but it got closed by Archer because this is a development site, not a place to push commercial enterprise. ( His words, not mine)
I'm sure this one will have the same fate.

Actually, I asked a mod, and he said this thread was fine to stay
Oh, and I don't like being linked to posts like that. Look to your left <<
Ah right. Fair enough then
You on about the noob thread? Cause if so, its always there so the noobs might just click it. Unlikely though

While that is true, we are not responsible or required to help. Everything you need is easily accessible and available to you. You need to make the effort.

I'm the weakest link? Yet I have thousands of posts and over 1500 thanks. You on the other hand have less that 500 posts and less the 70 thanks. On top of that I have previously held the title of Recognized Contributor. Only was it lost due to a misunderstanding. Shall I call in @Naddict? He is a mod and will say the exact same thing as I have said.
How but this? If the OP can't take the time to browse the front pages of both the QA and General sections, I nor anyone else will have the time to help.
All this time wasted could have been time spent searching and gaining answers and in the future. Instead of being a helpless mooch, one could become a contributing member of this site.
Furthermore, SpiritFyre, you provided absolutely nothing to this thread. So why did you bother commenting? Was it to help or to flame? I was not being mean. I provided a legitimate answer in hopes that the OP would benefit themselves. Yet they want to be lazy and you want to say I am mean and am the weakest link.
Here is the deal. You, Spirit have provided little to this community since 2008. I have been here for only a few years and have provided more than quadruple what you have over many devices to include some that we have never even had forums for. If anyone has any say here on what I should do, it is me or a mod. Not you. Your unoriginal insult bares absolutely no possible help to the OP. At least I told them the exact section to look in, while you sit here and babble off old sayings and a line from the weakest link. And the OP needs to search. There are literally 3 sections with the answer. The general section that has a thread with a link to MY SS QA thread, the development section again has a thread with a link to my thread and the QA section that has *gasp* my SS QA thread. All of them are literally on the first page of each section.

All users are expected to do some searching prior to posting questions, those are the rules.
As this question has answers (as stated above) and it is clear there is not value of additional, constructive commentary in here. I am shutting this one down.
Users are expected to read, study, and learn. The back and forth junk does not help.
