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.

It's not so bad, and I guarantee this thread will change nothing. They never do.
Just trying to throw it out there, If 30 people search because they saw this instead of making a new thread thats 30 less everyone has to scroll though

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.

Yeah, I'm about to get flamed, sorry about it. After the treatment shown recently to developers and other established and respected XDA members, as well as the closing of GOOD threads, anybody else on board for a 100 post requirement for privileges to post or reply in all development forums?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
NO. I've already had reason to post in the Dev forum, and have not been able to due to not enough posts. IMO, it's pretty dumb.
I have no idea what you're talking about re: the treatment stated, however.
It'll just cause more bs in the general and less feedback to devs for their work too. Most of threads that get locked in there are not because of ppl that have low post counts. It's typically the ones with the higher counts that will do it...

That would lead to 10x more useless posts in the other sections (general, themes, etc.)

People... Think....
For one second get in the shoes of a moderator. In a site like xda which has far drifted from its original intents, everyone needs to understand that with the level of access people have today to technology and the lack of respect and good maners, it makes it very complicated to manage a site like this.
The job the moderators has is a tough one because they have to be the un-friendly people most of the time.
I don't personally agree with the 100 post for dev forum, but I do understand where they are coming from with this. Think for a second the amount of low level educated people and trolls that traffic this place? People that just like to follow their impulse and not the rules?
It's easy for us whom follow the rules to see it as a pain, but consider what had to happen in order for it to get to this place?
Let's give credits to the mods, their trying to maintain order in a city of chaos.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
The 10 post thing is good for the noobs. So they don't put a question in the wrong section like a question about cases in the Dev section.
Nothing is wrong with it takes some time and reading but folks get the hang of it soon.
I wouldn't mind the 100 post thing, but not for ANY post, just specifically for creating new threads in that section.

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.

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...
I don't really like the rules even tho im sure there is a reason. But for a romer like me whose been roming since droid A855 its rough. I never post because I usaully just read through the forum if I have a problem. But I finally had a question that nobody asked and I couldn't post because of the rules. I just wish maybe a questionnaire or something could be used to evaluate who is new to roming or if u just are new to XDA. This isn't a rant just post of clarification.

I have seen this brought up in the forums of the past 5 phones I have owned. That is over a 2.5 year period. I've never seen XDA even attempt to care to try this.
It was also discussed that you would have to past a questionnaire or test before you could post in the developer sections period. To many people post in the dev section when they shouldn't.
