Because of the lack of an Q and A subforum, I emailed the webmaster and suggested such a page. For now people can ask questions here and other people can answer them. Hopefully there will a Q&A subforum soon!

I've added a sticky thread for this already, and will get a Q&A forum added.

I would like if it we could get a mod to occasionally visit the Galaxy S forums.
It is becoming ridiculous the amount of threads popping up in places they just don't belong. The Dev section in particular is the worst. People asking general questions, which may be valid questions but do not belong in the Dev section.
I was in there this morning and someone wants to know if an SD card is required for the phone to work. There is no valid reason for this at all. It pollutes the forum and makes it hard to find real information.
Coming across from the Dream forums where after years people have learnt what goes where and it isn't hard.
If the Mods are to busy maybe we need to start flaming and not answering questions that don't belong in that section until the general population learns.
Sirphunkee is the official Galaxy S forums moderator.
I will soon be joining him in moderating this forum myself, as I've just ordered a couple of these phones.

But then how will the general population learn that flaming is never acceptable, against the rules of XDA, and I will certainly not tolerate it ?
finally! welcome aboard !
There is a dedicated forum for asking questions and as usual people are starting to post their questions in the Wrong Forum..
ANY questions posted in the Development OR General Forums are subject to deletion and possible infraction against your account. Forum and Senior Mods have better things to do with their time on here than moving threads into the correct forums.
I want to squash this problem now BEFORE it gets worse as its a big problem on xda forums but is VERY EASY to fix just by posting your questions in Q&A. Please do so..
Thank you.
Mark.

Didn't you read the rules? It might be a development link and if the developers themseleves created a thread for it then it would belong here. But you "breaking" the news of what other developers are doing does NOT belong in development.
Thread moved to general
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
General Forums - For news and announcements pertaining to your device.
Q&A Forums - For all question threads / posts. If there is no Q&A forum use the device General Forum
Accessories subforum - For posts related to accessories relevant to the phone model
Development Forums (ones with the word development in the title)- For developers to post release threads e.g. ROMs, Kernels, and mods.
Themes and Apps Forums - For themers to post themes and for app announcements and discussions.
Lock!

why the new members need to have 10 posts to post on development?
Because questions should be posted in the Q&A forum
So that threads like these doesn't pop up in the Development forums and had you searched XDA for a answer to this question you'd probably find a few more like these.

So they don't ask dumb questions in the wrong place.
Members no longer need 10 posts to post in Development.
If the member has less then 10 posts a Q&A thread will be created with the question you are asking.
Also the Developer can choose to allow any and all questions if they wish to do so.

With this detailed explanation thread is no longer needed.
Thread closed.
Sorry for being off topic here. This is not a thread about our devices. However, I've noticed an issue where people are asking questions on the General, Development and Original Development section. Why aren't they on the Q&A section where it should be? This isn't the only thing though. I've seen people answering the questions (which is fine) without reminding them that they are on the wrong section. This promotes others to post questions thread on the wrong sections. I might have made a big deal out of something small. If you have a different opinion on this matter, be sure to share it.
tl;dr: Stop posting Questions[Q] threads on the wrong section
lol, this is a Q thread and it's in general
