Found this AMAZING (outdated) GUIDE posted by @Andy 4 years ago.
So Here's an Update :good:
How To Search XDA Forums
XDA Forum Rule 1.
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.

Firstly you need to identify what you need to find.
Aww, that ROM I like. The download link doesn't work. I need to find a working link
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now, enter the ROM thread you wish to search & click this button -->
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now enter your search term -->
Wow, there is a few results. What next?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now XDA has done a little of the work for you, you have to do the rest.
IF after exhausting every post that is returned from the search you cannot find the answer. Use the same technique that you just learned to search the General & Q&A forums.
This time the button looks a little different. Don't let that put you off. Click this one instead -->
But Wait, I'm using the XDA App!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have no fear, you don't think XDA would have an app that wouldn't let you adhere to the rules, surely not.
Just open your XDA App, hit this -->
then this -->
and THEN type what you're looking for -->
If your lucky enough to have a hardware "Search" button, you can hit that too.
Now if you still don't find what you are looking for. You may post.
Failure to adhere to the XDA Forum Rules may lead to a Warning and/or Infraction.

Come on, the Dev forum is already full of threads like this which have nothing to do there!
Jeff, all you need to know is in the XDA Sapphire Hacking wiki and the CyanogenMod wiki.
Read and don't ask people to hold your hand. If you don't understand something then search the forums for an answer... and if you still don't understand then don't do it.

I didn't say post there. I gave him the link to the Noob-resources topic. Why don't you click on the link before replying to my post and think.

We all know you're new to flashing a new rom and so were all of us, and we all had questions, so most of the ones you'll come up with will have already been answered somewhere in the forum.
I would start with the CyanogenMod page Its perfectly laid out and will walk you through it step by step, go at it and have fun. If you have questions, look for answers on that page, if you can't find them, look in the forum, then if not there, post a question in a thread applying to your question.
Tutorial copied from spaarc from X10 subforum. Just thought this is a nice idea and should be spread through all subforums of XDA.
Link to original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220777
ONCE AGAIN: THIS TUTORIAL WAS NOT WRITTEN BY ME AT ALL, I'VE JUST EDITED SOME PARTS WHERE THE OP MENTIONED THE X10 FORUM.
But I would appreciate if you hit the thanks button...
It would be nice if every section of the xda had a copy of this.
Here it goes:
This is a tutorial for people who are new to xda and the SGS2 forums...
There are many other people who do not how to thank either
So here are the steps :
Do's :
If a developer
1.) You click on the OP of the dev showing a ROM
2.) You read through his OP
3.) LEFT CLICK the thanks the Thanks button before u do anything
4.) If using XDA app, hit menu button on your phone, then click Browser, and hit thanks from the browser.
If a good post
1.) You read the post and like it
2.) Left click the thanks button
3.) If using XDA app, hit menu button on your phone, then click Browser, and hit thanks from the browser
the thanks button looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and can be found on the bottom right corner of posts
Dont's :
1.) You feel ungrateful
2.) You download and use the ROM without hitting the thanks button
3.) You forget about the thanks button and post "THANKS" or "Good work , mate"
4.) You don't bother to read this guide
5.) You right click the thanks button
6.) You search for a please button
7.) You forget to thank even a good post
8.) Feel lazy to thank because you are using the XDA APP... I'm sure the DEV had much more work on the ROM that you are using than you will have to hit thanks.

There's no gerarchy in real life. If you are a noob, you can be a senior member. And you can be a junior member being an android genious.

"IN THIS THREAD"
Guess the average intelligence on XDA is decreasing every day.
... and with every new post from you - is it that what you wanted to say?
Back to topic...
Thanks for pointing to this...
A few more words and you aren't misunderstood by so many people here. I'm not the only one how understand it that way.
Why you don't write exactly where your thread is?
For me that answers are very selfish. Don't be rude and write what others miss here now.
Thanks
I made a mistake so there's no more need for discussion about it unless it's talk regarding Nova development.

Another cancerous community. Guess it's not worth doing a complete bringup for this device.
Now there is no support from me for this device.
Sources are taken down. Go and find another guy willing to do this.
This is sick.
