Just curious as the q&a section is for questions and answers yet majority of questions being asked are in general forums.
So I gotta ask...what's the point of both?

Irony at the asking a question in general.... Haha well the point is organization, questions are supposed to be in Q&A, and other stuff in General. The only problem is that people don't always obey the guidelines sadly.
I think of Q&A as a place for some to ask a question about something they don't know how to do. For example, "My wifi isn't working, how can I solve this problem?" would be a Q&A post.
The questions asked in General tend to be like, asking for opinions more so than asking for help. Just general discussion.

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.

Does anyone know who the mod is for this forum?
Please keep the posting here for Adam development only. Questions should be posted outside of the Adam Development forum, even if they are about the rooting process and don't fit a root thread. If you are unsure post in general and if necessary we will work to get the thread moved here.
The problem being that non dev posts push everything else down and crowd what will become a very crowded forum.
Thank you for your help, we really appreciate it!!

Was that development? I didn't think so. Lol sorry I had too. You know how flamey these can be so I figured I would flame, then joke, now say I'm sorry.

Why would you post this on the general section? You may want to re word your op, The way you have it now seems like your asking for dev only posts in the general section.

I believe this was originally posted in the dev section regarding the questions that were inappropriately posted there instead of in general, and as this is as inappropriate (not as a post, just being placed in the dev section) as those other posts, this got moved as well, just like the questions.
6 months ago we were finally graced with a Q&A forum. But why the **** is "general" littered with [Q] threads? A total of 8 Q threads were started today in general. Congrats to the douchebags for creating more work for our mod with your misplaced threads and complete disregard for helping with keeping our forum organized. We should stop answering ALL questions that get posted in general so they get buried and forgotten about.
good day.

What's wrong with his language?
Instant satisfaction and disregard for the rules are the new opiate of the people.
God is dead. Long live mod-less XDA.
He wouldn't be our beloved ray of sunshine chopper if he edited for language. And to answer your question chopper, it's because too many people are basically ignorant and have no common sense or reading comprehension. How many people posted absolute gibberish and ZOMG I CAN'T WAIT posts in jt's CM7 thread despite the fact he asked on numerous occasions not to post crap like that in the thread?
RIF people - Reading Is Fundamental (emphasis on the mental part for all you window lickers)
chopper salute - Good day!
This here should be stickied and the thread should be remade 15 different times to take up the whole page, that way no one will miss this.

I respect the devs wishes and will no longer answer questions in the general section...my apologies for contributing to the problem!
I agree, we have our personal way to explain our moods and ideas, but this is a forum. There are rules, ( the forum rules, the laws, the common sense....).
I agree, I we need to clean BOTH: crap with polite language AND good ideas with rude language. This will be done not only because of the rules, also to have a nice place were to discuss.
No warning, no infraction now, just edited the post

i've tried to help some folks with questions in the general section as well, mostly to try to keep the smarter people from having to answer redundant questions that can be found in the stickies...and stop them from possibly posting in the dev section!...a guy can dream right?! But I guess in doing so I have also helped feed the monster that has mashed the general, and q and a section into this mess...I too will no longer answer any questions not posted in the q and a section.

Slightly afraid to post anything containing a question mark in this thread, but I'll take my lumps if I have to. I just created a thread in General with the intent of starting a discussion / getting some opinions regarding a question I've been mulling over. I specifically decided against posting in Q&A since I was not seeking a specific "answer," so to speak. Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

My rant was regarding "fascinate general forum". But where you did put your thread (xda/general) and the type of discussion you hope to have will achieve the most traffic and not be buried in a device specific forum.
good day.
@kidserious stop trying so hard... good quality trollings will come naturally, errr eventually at some point for you....
Hi I am posting this just to say more people are likely to answer your question if u post it in correct section. I rarely check general and am always replying to questions in q&a. I am not a mod and I know there is a post that is stickied saying this. But people using xda app or tapatalk rarely see it or read stickies as they are on a separate tab.
Hope this helps.
