In the past few days/weeks I have seen people Spamming the boards to get to their Mythical #10 Post. Please stop spamming the boards.
If you have a question, ask in the General or Q&A threads. Chances are that your question is either a) already been answered and you can use the search button to find it, or b) someone has that problem too and you can work together on it in the OPEN forums of General and Q&A.
STOP SPAMMING THE BOARDS.
Please report Spammers here --> SPAM Users. Mods check that thread diligently.
If you want to use this thread to get to the magical #10 post rule, so that you can post in the Development Section, then so be it, but enough of the Bull**** posts to get your count up.
Also note the this is against the rules. Read them here.
There are plenty of threads out there that you can get quality posts in to get your count up. Thanks, Goodbye and Nice work are great examples of crap. Please Stop.

I've noticed the same. Seriously people...if you really want to get up to 10 posts, go hit up the "off topic" section of the general XDA thread.
You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=261
I myself have never posted there...because I think it's just a waste of time...however, instead of spamming useful threads, go there and "Say hi" or tell everyone "what you are listening to" or whatever. There are plenty of places to get your posts up, and not spam at the same time! It's the best of both worlds!
I remember when I first joined XDA....it took me months to even get up to 10 posts, but when I got there I felt pretty good because I only posted when I had a question that I couldn't find the answer to, or had something I felt was important to say. But I digress, great thread Wood. It needed to be said.
My god that meme is hilarious!!

Bad thing about that is if a dev just signs up on XDA and is going to post a ROM immediately he has to find a way to get 50 posts!
Maybe make it so creating a thread requires 10, but replying to a thread that's not your own in the development section requires 50?

I try to be as polite as possible and helpful when I can, but sometimes it is just so hard. I'm never mean about it, but I do seem to find the right meme or comical stylings sometimes.
But you do bring up a good point. A Mantra if you will. "You should always post like someone is going to come in at a later date and re-read them. Would you be ok with that?"
There is someone in my tablet forums that has this in their signature. Very poingant:

There was some talk about that too but mostly just banter. Someone also wanted a "slap" button but soon realized that it would get out of hand too quickly.

well if your going to post a link with a different url to what's displayed and then taunt the guy who has asked a perfectly civil question that just makes the lot of you (Lady garden cleansing product that is dispensed in bags)....
I need help about this problem too, this issue was discussed previosly but now there is no link about this. Can anyone help us?
this is a major bugbear to me too and although if i search for it i'll get loads of threads to trawal though the chances are none of them will come back with THE definitive answer.
Can't we have a sticky thread with original questions and just the correct answer thats been confirmed posts in them
I've not been long a member of this site but I tell you, it's almost like being a member of the Royal British Legion! Or, walking into the Slaughtered Lamb! (movie reference, not WoW reference!)
It's rare that I come across a community that constantly belittles people for asking questions. Yes, I get frustrated seeing new threads that people have started in relation to another thread (why not ask that in the thread you've just quoted?), however, i've just searched "delay with ringing" on the Diamond thread to no real satisfaction. It led me to a thread that quoted another thread that never answered the question.
I agree that we shouldn't keep answering OP's that have been answered weeks, maybe months before, but linking the search page takes the piss! Especially knowing when it takes one person who has had a similar problem, or has read the page with the solution on it to reply with either the answer or the link to the post (not the thread) with the answer on it.
I'd probably feel more welcome on an Apple forum.....
Since we are putting cool pics on a lame thread let me do this:

I agree with these sentiments entirely. IMHO you would be hard pressed to find a less welcoming set of forums for a newcomer anywhere else on the internet than these ones. Sometimes it is like a little boy's club for nerds - sniggering at the new boy who does not know as much as them, and has dared to ask a question that they think is "obvious".
Linking to the search engine rather than the answer is a funny little trick to them, at the new boy's expense. It gives them a good giggle and makes them feel superior. And as often as not when you try the search they say you should you come up with nothing.
Oops not made myself popular now with the in-crowd - will be eating my school dinners by myself from now on.

Considering the first post was a quote from the Moto forums, I don't see where your ban comment is relevant! I never referred to anyone as a clown. I referred to Mr. Clown!

Considering I spend a lot of time in the Moto forums, I think I know exactly what Mark does. We do in fact go back and forth with emails on more topics than the Atrix and Motorola forums.
Post away. I'm not going to feed the trolls anymore!

Don't let anyone fool you. Internet trolls didn't start with a specific generation. Internet trolls were born along side wide spread access to the internet and the anonymity that inherently comes with it. People of all ages, whether 10 or 50 years old, are trolls.

This new kind of motorola fan wannabies surprisingly started to own motos eventhough they hated moto. (is that cause of raw power of new motos ? maybe ) Now that i see some of these people as trying to refer themselves as real motofans. We are no new in this town, kid. I really wish they would start using their nokias, samsungs or other sh*ts and quit lurking around in moto forums forever.
There was no hate amongst us until this new generation of moto owners arrived and trying to lecture people without knowing a sh*t about motos. Funny and sad.

I meant to say identical "type" of post. Right on the same page.
But anyway, it would just be nice to understand what rule(s) were broken so that it doesn't happen in the future, AND also to dispute the reason if it was an incorrect assumption by a mod (these things happen).

By the way, I wasn't hiding it. The link was DIRECTLY from Dropbox. It isn't like I went to tinyurl and converted it. This was FROM DROPBOX.
And yet no one posted any of this bull**** in the "minus" thread. Why the double-standard???

Well, to be honest, flaming and foul language will not gain you any points with anyone. If you can't be polite and intelligent without using foul language you will constantly have threads deleted.

Absolutely, but I am not making demands. I know I can go elsewhere, trust me.

There was no foul language Kenny (despite Alg trolling on that thread too). Was a friendly and polite thread. All of this speculation as to why the thread was deleted could have been prevented by a simple PM, which is exactly why I am suggesting it be done in the future.

Easiest answer: life's not fair. Deal with it or waste time of your life complaining about it which doesn't do anything except make your time on this planet miserable.
Like the others said, email the moderator for your answer for nobody here will be able to tell you. I doubt the moderators would like to air dirty laundry in public.

I am not complaining for the sake of complaining. Like I said several times, I am suggesting something for mods to do in the future which would be a nice thing to do AND make their workload less in the future?
Some of you know me, some don't. I'm more active trough PM then trough posting. But this is something that is bother me for a while and I think a lot of us.
And it can't be done trough PM, believe me, i have tried....
We all (if we are fair) know that the x10 is old mobile. And the most of us don't use a mobile longer than 2 years. So why o why read I so many post of people that are complaining about a update from a dev. Let them move on and give new dev's a chance
My personal top 3 irritations!!!!!
1) if you can't do it yourself, be grateful for everything they do for us and don't complain!!!
2) if we (the users) get a new mobile, how many people still stick to the x10 treads? So why expect a lot of people that the dev's must stick to the X10 forum and development further!!!
3) if a dev don't post for a while, don't post non related post in a DEVELOPMENT TREAD and complain about a update!!!
I have talk with a lot of members trough a personal message and told them about the post they have placed. But I think its a neverending story.
I think when the Mods are more harsher and give quicker a warning and ban people, then maybe people think twice what they post. I know that the mods help xda in their spare time and do all they can. But when you make a couple statements, the word get spread and maybe maybe this will work!
thanks for listening to my complaint
Even though i bought a Galaxy Note, i still read the first page of the General/Dev/Q&A section of the X10 forum daily.
You are right about people complaining to developers for updates, but that's just the way it is. It doesn't have to disturb you, or anyone. Most people ignore these types of begging posts anyway.
My experience in forums showed that having strict moderation won't do a thing. It will only lead to more drama. I know you feel you have to do something about this, but believe me its better if you relax and don't do anything at all. The mods know their job and doing the best they can. Talking to individuals via PM's and trying to explain why they shouldn't do this and that is not only time consuming, but as you can see, it lead you being frustrated enough to start this thread.
This thread will be read by (lets say) 1000, will be replied by 10-20, some may agree, some may not. It then will crawl it's way on the bottom of the page until a similar thread pops up. (There, just saved you some time )
Bottom line is, it's the interwebz. Don't get too attached.
But he is right though

RANT AHEAD!
Unfortunately, you are right. People feel its a right they possess to get the developer to work non stop for them. Things in the x10 forums are still relatively mild though... In the atrix forum, the CM7 thread had to be closed for a period of time due to people complaining and demanding for fixes. And the "thx" posts. Here's a classic example

I like the x10 forums, things are usually more peaceful and people more helpful here.

lol, before this thread gets closed i would love to point out that we have had our moments here, we can mix it with the big boys
I have given up with my classic posts of
1. use search next time
2. rule number 1 is not to ask for an eta
3. read the OP
4. why dont you make a backup and try it yourself
its just not worth the ware and tear of my keyboard to make them anymore....
but, we were all noobs once, a bit of tolerance is should be given
im totally agree with you,but hey,you cant fight fire with fire,that just leads to your "never ending story"
Hi,
This is my defense, take this thread in the X10 forum...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356580
I have just counted 93 posts deleted by moderators and with the warnings posted, about a dozen took vacations for ignoring the developer and moderators warning of being a Dev only thread. Just because you do not see warnings posted everywhere does not mean nothing is being done, most problems can be sorted out using the new infraction system, we use that all the time now, it is easy to use and straight to the point.
This type of thread cleaning and response is happening all the time, reported posts are dealt with much faster and if anybody needs banning, senior mods are available on gtalk to sort it out immediately.

You harsh, Nah. (I do however get the feeling it was you that closed my first thread posted here.) But having an Avatar that is a Happy Face , with a "Heidelberg Scar" doesn't really convoy a feeling of warm, fuzzy comfort to people. More like good mod / bad mod and Colossus= good mod; he even warns people in a very nice polite way. But temporarily freezing threads seems to be doing a great job of allowing the tensions to diffuse. Kudos for that.

It's great news sure, but why open a thread in the development section on this? I'm sure many people have opened this thread expecting to find pete's rom. Should've been posted in the general section...

The possible loss of time is indeed tragic. Let's talk more about how this thread is slightly less useful than I had hoped.
Seriously, Pete is a very thorough dev, his roms are great and I am glad to hear he is working on this.

Or we could discuss your intelligence, or rather lack there of. I mean really, I use my Android while driving my BMW, why not start a thread on that? The forum rules are very clear: ONLY threads listing roms, kernels, etc. are allowed here. Simple disregard for forum rules & organization. THIS is why people don't bother to read threads before asking questions, they are cluttered with nonsense. The posting rules are in place for a reason : to keep useless BS post out of the forums we go to for important stuff. Posting this was either a noob mistake or an idiotic move on behalf of the op.
I actually found this thread useful.
Seeing how rom-devs are dime-o-dozen these days, to know Peter was moving from NS to NS4G , answers a lot of my questions, and helps me prevent wasting buttloads of time, flashing other ppls "gold"

Obviously it is in the wrong section. But I will continue to find it humorous that such a large percentage of posts in forums are about housekeeping/protocol issues. "Don't ask this question, post in this other section" etc. If these things bother you so much, you truly are wasting your time, right now, reading this post.

By the way, Pete posts on RootzWiki now as his dev threads here were shut down for not conforming to protocol. No joke.

Yes we have a lonely mod who is somewhat of a nazi about some dumb rules he came up with. Neither of which Peter violated anyway but he still chose to lock and move his thread.

Well by looking at your post count, you haven't been around here very long and might not know the drama that unfolded in the past. In this phone's section at least, it doesn't matter where you post your topic. It will be moved and or locked by the powers that be. It might get moved within the nexus s section or it might get thrown into a completely different section of the forum on a whim. Your posts will get edited, locked, moved, deleted, etc. Even if you are a developer and make a rom, if the you know what decides that it's not supposed to be in the development section, it's gone. The (censored) is god around here and doesn't get along well with some people. Pete left probably because he got tired of the bs and being harassed by this (beeeep). Perhaps you should know a little more of what happened previously before busting in here all holier than thou. But then again, maybe you can be this persons teacher's pet since you think alike.
