Please post help and troubleshooting requests in the Q&A section
Here are some general guidelines on where posts should be created:
- If the question involves a help or troubleshooting request that benefits the OP directly, post in Q&A.
- If the question is open-ended and intended to generate a general discussion on some topic, post in General.
There's a large grey area, but use your best common sense judgement to decide where to put the post. All misplaced posts will be moved accordingly.
Thanks.

Aight look. We have a Q&A section now, and I ask that all questions be posted in that section. This is a well known rule, and a simple one to boot.
But, that isn't what this thread is about. No, this thread is about FLAMING OTHER USERS FOR POSTING IN THE WRONG SECTION. Simply put, the amount of flaming that goes on for people posting in the wrong section is ASTOUNDING.
From this point on(4/16/2011) any and all threads that are flame wars will be closed, and the people doing the flaming will be issued infractions. These will all start as yellow cards, IE warnings that expire and do not go against your profile. If you continue to flame, they will escalate to red cards, which DO go against your profile and CAN and WILL lead to a ban, which may be permanent.
I honestly do not want to be posting this thread. But this has just gone too far.
IF someone posts in the wrong section, a polite "please post in the correct section", a short answer and a report to me is all that is required and expected. Please note that when you report a post it goes to me and the senior moderators and administrators. I have also made it so that I will now receive PM's directly to my phone so that I can get things resolved faster.
If you go into a thread that is in the wrong section, and the OP has already been told this, DO NOT add to the post, rather send me a PM with the link/info or click the REPORT POST button.
To the point folks-the flaming is out of control. I am partly to blame for enforcing that questions be posted in the Q&A section and completely realize this, but in order to keep this forum clean the Q&A rule will remain to be a rule.
This thread is closed. If you have any comments or concerns regarding this matter, please PM me.
Thanks-saur.
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.

Okay guys, it's been a bit relaxed in here up until now, but I've just had a clean up and not one single thread in this forum was in the right place. Once things start rolling in here (hopefully before too long) it can get very messy very quickly.
Remember, this forum is for development releases only. If you want to discuss something then post in General. If you want to ask something then post in Q&A. If you're releasing ROMs, tweaks, hacks etc. then post in here.
If you're unsure about something then ask first - I'm happy to answer any and all questions.
Thanks for your co-operation
Any chance for a huge cleanup? There are tons of posts about interop, making threads hard to follow.
