Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
As frustrating as it is that people don't read and follow instructions, if everyone is banned, the forum goes away, which benefits no one.
Plus, I had to uninstall and reinstall the tapatalk app, in order for it to even show me the Q&A forum. Clearing cache and data wasn't doing it.
I'd say there is a better than average chance that people don't even see the Q&A, unless they've installed the app recently, or are accessing the site through a computer. Just something to consider.

I have posted a sticky explaining not to post questions in the general section. So i dont think we need another. If you feel me thread does not explain properly, please PM me. DO NOT open threads spouting rules yourself, generally you will get a negative response.

Am I understanding this correctly? I need to post 10 times in General or Q/A before I can post in Development thread?
I don't have any Q/A posts to create other than this and I don't have any general questions.
All I wanted to do was post to a thread that the Kernel is running great and no issues so far.
The only question I have is the following:
Should I post then new posts that are useless to get my count up
or
Post back to this thread I created 10 times?
I am leaning toward the latter but before I do I want to make sure I do not get anyones panties in a bunch. If this is an issue I'll just leave it as is and stick to reading.
If you just wanted to thank the dev who made the kernel, you could always just click the thanks button.

From my understanding of this forum, this isn't like other forums where you would post all questions and comments that are related to development in the development section. Since this is xda-DEVELOPERS they seem to assume that all questions are going to be related to development.
So all regular comments go in the General section, and all Questions go in the Q&A section. I believe they want you to post in the dev section only if you are developing something (a kernal, a rom, a mod like CWM).
If you want to report success on a specific rom or kernel, couldn't you just hit "reply" in the thread for that kernel? That's what I usually do.
Also, this will probably keep you from getting griped at by lots and lots of wannabe moderators (in addition to the real moderators).
Yea I know how u feel I'm on number 4 I think so this will be 5 half way there.

Questions belong in Q&A. Questions/problems on a specific ROM/KERNEL/MOD in the development forum belong in the thread related to what you have the question/problem with, not in a new topic. The development forum is for releases of stuff only, along with discussion in the same thread about said releases.
thanks for the clarification. one of these days i will get my 10 post in to thank all the hard working developers

Same here I was going to post in the developers kernel thread to provide feedback as it was new and they look for feedback.
This rule I can understand for new posts but for replying to existing posts I don't understand other than the fact you get a lot of people that post in wrong places all the time. However this will happen with this rule in place or not as they can reach ten posts pretty quickly.
Either way just found it an odd rule. Some forums do a "you must be a member for X days before you can post". This rule allows new members to do reading before they just start posting all over the joint. That one I understand.

Devs do check out the Q/A and general section too, so you dont have to post in their thread if you have a problem.
One good thing regarding the 10 post is that people wont post a thread with a question in the development section. A lot of people who accidentally post there says that their question has to do with development, and so they decided to post there instead of Q/A or general section. If people with a lot of posts still does this, by accident or not, imagine how much work mods will have to do if anyone can post there and is new to the forum.

I for one offered to help you, just not in this section. Telling people to F... off doesn't help either, in fact it's worst. While people are tired of getting flamed for posting in the wrong section people are also tired of sorting through Q&A threads to find threads that actually have to do with development, that's what we have sections for. I for one try to be civil with these sort of things, and while it's primarily the job of the moderators to move and or close threads as community members we have to police ourselves as well. The rudeness on both sides should stop, but....people should post in the correct sections too
Edit: I see the mods moved the thread, all is well that ends well.

Its more fun to pick on people, especially newcomers than to actually help them, or at least it seems that way.

Agreed, takes 10 posts to post in dev section. His 11th post is this crap!
I've been a member here for a long time, but do not speak much as most questions I would have about any of my devices have clearly been discussed.
I also understand where new members would not know much about whats going on at times, but its nothing more than a simple search. I (and all other members new/old) have to search like everyone else. Its really not hard.
Its also believed with the great devs that are doing what they can (and I THANK YOU for that) to get root available for our device. I'm SURE they will have something up (as in a new thread) that they have achieved what we have been waiting for. Its going to happen. Be appreciative that we even have devs that are making the time to find out all that they can. Without them, we'd be in a world of hurt.
Just my .18 cents.
You 'section police' people are fkn pathetic.
Seriously hate coming to this forum now.
"I also understand where new members would not know much about whats going on at times, but its nothing more than a simple search. I (and all other members new/old) have to search like everyone else. Its really not hard."
Of course. No one argues with that.
Its how they're told that.
Members with 5000 posts don't have liscence to be a**holes. They're no more 'valuable' than someone with 1 in terms of basic civility.
And after 1301 posts...this is your offering?! Lol?

Think of "development" like a business...professionalism is important in business, no? There is a job that is being done here.
If you are looking for the tavern take it to General, if you are looking for the visitors assistance center take it to Q&A. This is all spelled out in the rules. If you have no "developing" to contribute to the "development" please take it elsewhere.
Posting non-development related posts is like showing up drunk to work, and your post is like an even drunker guy proclaiming how BS the professionalism is at said business.
I'll shut up now, as this is unrelated to development.
Just a curious thought. But if you post a question in the Q/A. Then get hit with you can't do that. You should have looked more crap. That's great and all but i still didn't get an answer yet. If you wanna act smart and post that's Kool, but atleast post a link to where i can read more or to the open thread on the topic. There's no reason to act like a douche. I came here to learn.

Alright everyone i have taken an idea i saw on the razr forums for a discussion thread to keep the main thread less cluttered. I believe (as I'm sure others do as well), that the main ROM thread should be kept more towards its core purpose, which is discussion related to the development of the ROM. That is the purpose of this thread. You guys feel free to ask questions that you may have here. Of course be respectful as always.

Dude these threads are pointless. Point blank. The original thread is where all this should be. There is no way to clean up threads. Just read through the pages n thats it. If you read through the last 10 pages and you dont find an answer to your problem then ask again. Or kindly ask if theres anything new from the dev. Look these threads are pointless and are usually shut down. I don't know how this thread is still even open.

Only the following topics are allowed in DEVELOPMENT area:
[DEV] - Development for any special projects or Apps
[ROM] - Custom ROMs
[KERNEL] - Custom Kernels (usually found in Original Development)
[MOD] - Hack & Modifications for the phone with code only, zips go in themes and apps
[FIX] - Fixes for known issues & bugs
[R&D] - Research & Development for Devs only, when gathering data for a new projects
[HOWTO] / [GUIDE] - How to instructions and Guides (Most of the time should be in General)
Note: If you are unsure where your new topic should go, then please post it to General
I would not say that this thread is "pointless". It definitely should be in the General forum though. As the whole point to these type of threads is to separate the "general" posts away from posts that actually have to do with the development of the rom - or whatever it may be.
Take a look at the Sprint S4 forums we have [Discussion] threads for some roms and they work well at separating simple comments to posts actually pertaining to development. The development thread should be for posting bugs, clarifying problems that are directly related to the rom, etc. The discussion thread is to separate all the "great rom man thanks a bunch" "oh I really like this feature, it's cool" "man I really like this rom over Z rom" "anyone find some cool wallpapers that match the theme of the rom", out of the development thread to allow the developers to actually identify and deal with the issues instead of being cluttered by useless/developmentally insignificant posts.
