how can you make ONE THREAD for all questions ???
i post a question today, i come tomorrow to find 30 questions asked after me then 20 answers for questions before me then maybe no one has even read my question !!!!
it has to be a sub forum not a THREAD !!!!!!!
there's NO WAY we can ask/answer UNRELATED questions together !!!!

The last post you made in the Q&A thread was on 11 June, the rest have been in dev section abit like this one. If your question has not been answered then maybe its because there is no answer or maybe its because your questions can be answered by using the search button! Very rare for me to ask how to do something or how to fix something, rather than ask someone to do it for me, I research, learn, do it myself and if I don't know how I just use the search button it works like a charm and if that fails then I use Google.

no offence meant, but...
i wouldn't ask in the "developer" section if RAY had its OWN General section !!!
Well, nothing we can do... if you make your own thread, chance that you got answer even slimmer.

still, a separate GENERAL section would be better
i don't understand why is RAY the only SE device without a GENERAL section ?

Agreed, the questions thread (as it stands) is just a convenient place for people's questions to be swept under the carpet and forgotten about. I'm sure that's not the intention, but that's how it works in practice. Big changes are needed!
forums should get split like they did with xperia s p u sola.

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.

Apology accepted.
Please remember when posting threads or posting in threads make sure to be a descriptive as possible.
Where do i.... << this is spam.
So if you want XDA members not to judge you like a piece of non-human meat then follow the rules.
"You agreed to them when you signed up."
Welcome to XDA please keep it civilized and friendly.
Because it's impossible to develop anything in complete chaos.

And yes, this question is ofc in the gemeral forum like most other [Q] threads. Would be to borring to put the question in the righe forum while asking for a question relating another forum.

Silly? - A question about questions are silly.
Hmm - Well, we got a Q & A forum, so why not use it. And we even got a sticky here saying to use the Q & A forum.
Who cares - No need for a Q & A forum when we have the genetal forum that suits questions just as fine.

no, obviously not.
just saying could be easier, maybe section for sony etc and new sub forums added for each new device as and when, thats all
I also think it's too confusing with all 2012 Sony's, S, U, P and Sola.
A subdivision would be better.
I have to agree with the idea of different forms for each device. I have not seen where else in xda where 5 devices are lumped into one section, even Asus transformers have their own, and they are all much more similar than Xperia phones XD
