Database Users

How to use these forums - please read

okay, i don't want to sound like a jerk, and i know a lot of you are excited about your new phones, but you guys are making a mess of this place. there are so many threads getting posted up about the same thing over and over, and in the wrong sections, it is getting a little ridiculous. and, your bad habits encourage other people to do the same thing.
there are some rules around here, and you should have all read them
1) post in the right section. here is a description for you
A. general is for general information. you have something to share? post it there.
B. q&a is for those of you that are having problems. have a question, ask in the question section (make sense so far?)
C. wanna discuss accessories? guess where you do that? if you said the accessories section, you're right.
D. development is for people that are doing the coding. it is not for people to ask questions, or to hear about some new thing you heard about. see A and B
E. theme and applications. you want to find/share a theme? an application? this is the place to do that.
2) the most important thing you can learn here? USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. chances are that someone else has had the same problem you have had, and there is a thread about it. LOOK FOR IT. we don't need umpteen hundred threads about the same thing. it gets old, and makes this place cluttered, and impossible to actually manage. why is the same question getting answered over and over and over ? more importantly, why is it being asked over and over and over?
we are a community, and everybody needs help, or can help, or something, but nobody here deserves to be spoonfed everything. do a little footwork yourself. if you can answer a question, awesome, do it. you have a question, look for the answer before asking it.
please
thanks

Thread stuck.
Hopefully there should be some mods with EVO's or better Android knowledge than this Win Mo FanBoi .
EDIT: also deleted all posts between #1 and Jus10o's so that it gets better visibility as it is a good thread also.

Please do not use this thread to bump your post count up, just so you can post in Development threads.
It takes no time at all to get the required number of posts by simply being helpful to other members

Can we calm the language and flaming here folks.
@OP, development is not the correct place to post such a question, and posting it to appear as a ROM is misleading to say the least, bordering on trolling.
Please ask questions in the Q&A or general forum after using the search feature to ensure it has not already been asked previously.
@All, Please take a look at the XDA rules regarding language and personal attacks at This Page, particularly that of rule 2. Personal attacks will not be tolerated, likewise with such uses of profanity.
Regards
Pulser

It would be good to have this thread deleted, as is it is FALSE and the OP just played a mean joke. I don't believe it is fair to everyone to calm down flaming, yet leave the thread open.

Have cleaned this thread and moved it to General. Also changed the title to make it less misleading.
To the OP,
Maybe you should give a little thought to what you post and how you post it in future.
Thanks
WB

I don't see the point in allowing this thread to continue.
OP, please refrain from misleading people around here. Honestly it's not funny!. Thread locked

Phone Upgrading Discussion Thread

Lets clean this forum up a bit. There is way to many threads about other phones here. If you want to discuss phones please at least do it here. Thank you!

Can we discuss Sammiches ?

YAY, another thread about other phones. (Even if this one is intended to consolidate threads.)
Where are the mods to help clean up these threads?

I'm watching, I'm always watching...
But seriously I just want actual discussions on phones here and not in separate thread clogging up the General section. I just got the Epic and love it, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see what the Evo 3D will be

well if mods through all these crap threads into one and deleted some crap we might actually have an actual thread, we should move all these post to the off topic section or shift them android operating system phone discussion or something

quality
but on a different note yeah i agree wit the OP but what can you do

Personally I'd restrict new members to no posting for a week so they can spend some time reading or something before they post.

Totally agree, when new members register in the actual registration process it should state that they need to read the forum first to see if they can find the answers to their questions which most likely they can, and after a week their account is enabled so they can then post.
Other than that we're stuck with daily threads full of the same duplicate questions

Ugh, sorry for that picture guys. Force yourself to look at it for ~30 seconds and see if you start feeling nauseous as well.

Appreciate the sentiment but they heard you and they're coming.......
So, thread closed before they troll us all to death

Seems to have disappeared.
It had useful information in it...
Any ideas?
Thanks

Maybe a mod found it being unuseful.

Damn, I will have to remember what all you guys said now!

Or because you posted in the wrong section like now. Questions go to Q&A.

Haha, its long gone!
nevermind, you live and learn.
Maybe a mod could resurrect it in the Q&A forum? Apologies if I posted in the wrong section.

I experienced the same problem as you today.
I posted a thread, being sure it was in the right place. I found the thread was deleted today - no notification, no movement, no help. I am now unsure where to repost.
I had to email the webmaster to find out the mod who did it - Draken Korin. Draken, did you delete snes_fan's post too? It would be really useful if you could explain to us in future so we can learn.

Guys, it's as simple as reading the rules.
And just because I feel like it, I'll make it even easier for you by helping you understand why your threads were trashed.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if there were already other threads regarding the same or similar topic, yours was obsolete.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
These: "??????" or "PLEEEEEEEEEEASE HEEEEEEEEELP" are not acceptable titles for a new thread. Summarise your issue and then elaborate in the OP, plain and simple.
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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You have a question? Go to the Q&A section, SEARCH for an answer (yes ducklings, you have to do some reading. I know you might feel bored, but you'll only learn if you READ instead of bombarding the forums with new threads). Then and ONLY then, if you found no other issue like yours, start a new thread.
I don't see why you need more guidance on these matters.
They are pretty self-explanatory.
Here is a visual aid too:

couldn't have said it better myself
as an addendum though

The idea is you read BEFORE you post then there certainty where a thread will go. We are not going o notify you of a threads deletion or reasons why or help you any further than the sticky threads that we write. as this is molly coddling. and i simply do not have the time.
I you believe im a horrible person because of my views on this matter feel free email me with your concerns.
