Closed threads serve as examples to others of how NOT to post.
Hence the reply bad thread is bad

Galnet discussion is banned here, and has been for a while - you should have known the thread would get locked as soon as Red5 saw it, I know you were around here when the galnet situation blew up.

It probably would have helped if Red5 had mentioned that Galnet discussion is banned here instead of just saying bad thread is bad. People new to the forum or new to MIUI might not know about it.
Now I know they can search but it doesnt come up with anything about the ban that I could find, at least on mobile.

We Mod's have specific guidelines and rules to follow. We're supposed to close threads instead of deleting them because threads can be closed for a number of reasons and can be tracked easier if searched for (which nobody seems to do anymore). If we need to look at a track record of a member and look at the threads taht person has created, closed threads are easier to find than deleted ones. Also, if a thread is deleted, so are the posts and postcounts go down. Not something too earth shattering, but its still a reason.
tl;dr NO.
Thread closed.

I know there are alot of people new to xda on here and alot of new android users, however if you look in our general boards there are tons of topics that are being repeated. Please use search because odds are you question or concern might have come up or discussed already.
Im not trying to be rude or make people mad, but when you signed up its part of the rules.

This pointless thread clutters up the forum just as bad as someone who doesn't use the search function and posts something, there hasn't even been a problem of redundant threads in this forum (yet).
The phone has been out less than a week and we have like 4 or 5 tmobile threads, 4 visual voicemail, atleast 3 city id, i see a pattern coming on.

I agree. This should probably be stickied, as it is quite difficult to follow a thread with so many new redundant ones being created. I may have at some point, but if the number of new redundant posts is reduced, it will be better for everybody.
That being said, a whole lot of the users here are completely new to android and XDA as a result, therefore they don't fully know the rules and will need to learn. Having this thread stickied would probably help that.
I can appreciate your intentions, but I guarantee you someone who was planning on opening a redundant thread is not going to open this thread first and have some mind-blowing epiphany about the metastasizing cancer of reckless thread starting without using the search feature and thus starting a thread about something that's been previously posted about.
Besides, the mods here would get bored.

Mods, when you close a thread for duplicating information/questions/topics, can you link to the thread that has the original information/answers? It becomes difficult when you are searching the forums for an answer, and you find threads asking the question you need answered, but all they have are a post from a moderator saying "Already been asked. Locked."
They would prob expect you to do a little of the work to find the topic or information YOU are looking for ..they r not secretaries

That was the point. When you try to do a search you get a lot of results with questions but no answers. This makes it difficult to do your own "work".
That's why its called "work".. If it was easy then you'd already know how to do it... Part of the experience is finding wrong threads that may not pertain to what you think they should, but you learn (how to search on your own and not have everybody cater to you) regardless.

You must be joking...
Clutter does not make anything better. Not the board and not the users' experience.
I've never had an issue..usually I can even google and find an xda thread about what I'm looking for..I guess everyone's expectations are different..regardless its not the mods job to do it for you

I can generally find my answers too. But once in a while there will be a hot issue that lots of people ask about. Their questions usually contain all the key words, so search results come back filled with clutter.
A moderators first job is to protect the board and the integrity of the data. It is also a mod's job to help make sure the board provides a good user experience. Somtimes that means cleaning up threads. This might include merging them, moving them or deleting them. If a mod knows infor exists elsewhere then he already knows where it is. To expect him to put that link into a thread he locks is _certainly not_ too much to ask.
Hint: I run a forum too, and have several moderators.
What if the mods merged the threads and shot the op a PM letting him know with the link to the thread. I've had a mod do that for me once here in another section. It was very helpful. Just a thought.

we dont typically do this b/c at times it makes a mess when merged, is a complete hassle to do, and also more importantly wouldn't teach people to take a few extra min to look around and find what they are looking for on their own and learn...
and the reason you dont see a link a lot of the times when threads are closed b/c other threads are already present......its b/c 9/10 times the thread that they should of posted in to begin with was on the first page of the very same section they post in....
Also we dont always have the time to pull up and copy the link to the thread for the user...
Closing this one, btw...if you have any questions feel free to PM ANY of us about your concerns/comments....were a open gang here

this is honestly getting ridiculous, if you cannot figure this out, please at least TRY to do some research, and if doesn't make sense, research more, then ask in the Q&A/General forum.. seriously dude.. its stuff like this CONSTANTLY that is making XDA ridiculous.. I don't know how much more I can handle of this stuff.. its every 5 min someone does not read the rules understand the forums where to post, what to ask, how to do a SIMPLE search or even a google search.. :smh: ;-( PLEASE AT LEAST TRY.. please... did you watch the n00b video when you registered or did you just skip it???
edit: and I also wonder if a button similar the thanks button that can be implemented in XDA Forums but instead of "Thanks" a "Please try to search" and if other members hit the "Please try to search" on that particular post a certain number of times (maybe 3 - 5 ppl) then the user is no longer allowed to post in dev forum for 10 days. just a suggestion cause XDA is really going down the pooper lately.. I know I have less than 100 posts and I'm not DEV by any means, and my Join date is just a bit over a year ago (but I at least try all of the above first) so I don't come off as a total ____ maybe I'm overreacting after reading too many of these but maybe not.. you mod's can decide. /rant

I don't understand why people have to insult others when they ask a question. Yes I understand there is a search function,but instead of insulting others and claiming that they're ruining XDA, why can't you just point them to the right direction and not be a elistest prick?
All it takes is 1 person to say read the rules and search instead of OMGWTF use google/search! and oh BTW gtfo because you ruin XDA.

If u can't bother to learn the rules and treat this place like a help desk you're going to get flamed. But then u ***** and complain at the people who are telling u not to double post? Yer in the wrong. And we're gonna tell ya about it. If you don't like it, here's a suggestion-- don't double post! Its annoying and makes u look like a desperate fat chick at prom, who came with her friends because Jimmy Yachovich, the guy who was supposed to take u, got mysteriously and violently ill at the last minute.

It regards a theme/app but it is still a general q question. You cannot remove a thread (unless directed by a mod) once you have posted it. I would remove a couple of my own otherwise >.> . People do get way too obnoxious about their "rules" and honestly it doesn't prevent noobs from making the same mistakes over and over again anyways, so I think it's stupid of them. But they are trying to teach you that they hate you because of what you did, lol. It's not a big deal. People just have sticks up their butt because everyone assumes that everyone else hates the rules being broken all the time. Personally, it does keep clutter down if things aren't double posted. But this forum is so massive anyway, that regardless of double posts, there's a lot to go through..so to each their own. Not a big deal to me. I'm glad you found the answer yourself, and this double post actually REMINDED me, that I still needed to search for the stock weather widget, so thanks
And its mostly people that live on here that see the double post and the flame you for it but ehh what can you do... nothing lol...
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok...since i was the first to point out the double post, and the thread seems to be getting out of hand, I just wanted to say that my intention was never to flame anyone. I simply pointed out that this was a double post, and I asked the op, in what I thought was a polite way, to please not double post in the future because I know people here don't like it and because it does clutter the boards. From there the thread just got out of hand. I don't know what I did to offend the op, but whatever it was I apologize.
Now a mod needs to close this thread, please.
Thread Closed because op figured his issue out. Op your language here on XDA is unacceptable. Read the rules. In addition, if anyone quotes the bad language I have to delete those posts too. Just report the post please. Everyone makes it worse by quoting the crap. Btw op, for future reference the edit button at the bottom of your post allows you to modify/delete what you wrote...
