A poll to see who thinks threads like "THE BATTLE OF THE ROMS!" should be deleted
Hello - there are so many threads posting useless questions that have already been answered, and those asking what the best ROM for the Trinity is out there. This really gets my goat - is useless and as the creator of the above mentioned thread clearly said in his first post: "...there hv been many threads abt which the best ROM is in ur opinion, but none of them hv really continued and provided some usefull opinion..."
These threads pollute the forum - an otherwise valuable source of information - and make it more difficult to find the information that people want (especially for newbies). As a result they cerate a new thread asking their question - It's known as the snowball effect.
So I think we should have a vote on it: should these threads be deleted / moved or not? The comments in the above mentioned thread lead me to believe that nobody finds these useful - but let me and everyone else know please.
Nuff said! Time to kick ass, i voted that we should group them all, so that at least we have some funny thread to read in our iddle times. ;-)
L.
haha.. this made my day! great post nealed!
Everyone keeps banging on about useless pointless threads being created and I agree it is a pain but this is an open forum and I'm sorry but you will never be able to stop it unless a major overhaul to the way in which the site is operated is carried out.
You can complain and whinge until you're blue in the face but it ain't gonna stop so why bother?
Just ignore them instead of lashing out!

simply because of the described "snowball effect". I think we need moderators who are fair - but who do that - moderate - and make the forums what they should be - an easily accessible source of info for all - experienced and newbie users.

Agreed. But this puts extra pressure on the moderators, and until it is implemented (and it may not) there's nothing anyone can do! Do you see my point?
I think you're flogging a dead horse!
yea, watever, watever you guyz think, I created it for the benifit of others, and I dont know what you find so offensive or wrong in that thread, but watever you say guyz. a thread for those ppl who are new to these kind of things and are still confused after doing their research can come here to make a slightly better decision... i dunno why so many ppl find it offensive, i wasn't trying to create competition, or no such thing... wat is it that got you guyz so angry abt this, i have no idea....
so much of anger over that thread?? "polluting the forum", "make it difficult to find information" wow, wow, I didn't expect this to happen... so much of anger against that thread??? wow.... if its that bad, i sincerely apologize for creating that thread, but still why so much of this anger???

AK - CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND:
1. New guys cannot find what they want - because of so many junk posts
2. As you yourself said - there has never been anything useful come out of asking people what the best ROM is or to say which one they prefer.
It's not gettin anyone anywhere - the info is there - maybe we need more stickies for the pertinant threads and moderators to dump the junk. Then we'd have a much more useable forum.
" a thread for those ppl who are new to these kind of things and are still confused after doing their research" that's the Wiki - and all can edit / contribute. people need to use the Wiki tho.....
alright, i understand, i get it... ignore that thread and bury it.....
lets get it over with, i dunno why there is so much hype against this...
so, i sincerely apologize for creating that thread.
Talking about useless threads....this one is the perfect example of useless waste of keyboard strokes...
yea, as if this thread isn't "polluting" the forum...
Roms are Roms, Depend On You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi to all brothers and friends, No one actually can reply to this type of question, what's the best ROM, its depend on each of us, for what type of uses, whats we are looking for etc etc..... All the cooking chefs as always do their best to share with Us, no one of us can pay these guys,
SO IF ANYONE OF US WANNA KNOWS WHATS THE BEST ROM SO BROTHERS "DOWNLOAD THEM ALL" AND LIKE US TRY THEM ALL.
Then decide by your own whats the best goes fit for our Mobile.
None offence, no anger, no mood off, Take your time and see what's U need best for yourself.
A BIG STANDING OVATION TO ALL GREAT COOKING CHEFS HERE. and also a big thanks to all members helping this Site.
Here here beautifully put beautyangel.
Peace and love to all trinity owners
I simply don't understand where are the mods to deal with all this mess.. It has become really irritating
Hi!
I am currently working on a new version of TouchXperience website where I will try to keep you frequently updated about project progress and releases. The new website is community-oriented so if you have any questions, suggestions, or if you would like to contribute in my projects, you are free to take part in forum or wiki. Support will be maintained on TouchXperience forum in the future.
As you know I don't have a lot of free time (and a free PC at the moment) to care of TouchXperience project and website, and I have limited knowledge in website content/forum/wiki management, so I would be glad if some of you were willing to help me. But I'm looking for serious/professional people, to moderate forums, to help users and post frequently asked questions,... everything you want to contribute in TouchXperience website life! The best would be if you have good knowledge in CMS, webdesign, forum/wiki management that could help me to improve website.
Thank you in advance!
ready to help

Nice joomla

Php and and MySql skills. Not too much time available but let's do it!!

For the record I was not trying to promote the other site. I was simply trying to prevent someone from making the same mistake at work as I did. Thanks for the real address.
I'm curious... What's wrong with the XDA-Developers wiki & forums?
Why do you feel the need to split off from XDA dev to somewhere else?

Well on the last thread there were a lot of blathering jackasses that were making stupid posts *****ing at each other and *****ing about how long the development is taking which pissed everybody off and eventually got the thread closed. This seems to be the newest and only TouchXperience thread?
-P.S. Schaps, count me in to help with the new site.

That's what the triangle with the exclamation mark is made for, so one can report such posts for the moderators to take care of.

However, all this will mean is that the blathering jackasses will then be blathering on a different forum? I guess I fail to see the benefits... lol

Is there a way to ignore users permantley from my thread display? People that just say 'thanks!' or 'wow this is awesum!!', 'donation sent!'. Trying to bring up the S/N ratio would be useful.
Anyway to do this yet?
I think the Signal to Noise ratio is fine most of the time, and as a new member of the forum I'm sure you will soon find that the posts with low signal are usually in response to a thread with low substance.
There's an ignore list here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist
netmasta10bt:
There is no "your" thread.
STOP LURKING!
DaveShaw:
No he ment if he can disable useless posts in ROM threads.
Wow great donation sent, cheers man , this is awsome.......
as above, stop lurking
i find this thread funny, eventually one day hes gonna end up saying "donating thanks man!"
gah people these days just cant deal with it and just move on
Hi,
even though I dont want to whine, I have to admit that a thanks/donation sent system would make threads shorter.
Seeing a 50 page thread, is um, demotivating
There is one already, just rate the thread 5 stars.
Well why not, if user says thanks, thread gets automatically 5 star yay!
WOW! Thanks! This is just Awesome! Donation [email protected]@@
hahahaha i can see myself using the "godmode hack" puttin all the mods and admins on that list
Hey, this is a great thread! Wow, thanks man!
Hey Now!

You registered today.
This is your first post.
Guess no one knows you here.
And spamming for getting 10 posts by moaning about them isn't going to help you.
If you have been playing with your phone for a year, I am sure you can help people in your device's Q&A section.

In response to your query
People more than likely do know me here, but this was my first post.
No, i wasnt spamming, i was just knocking out one of ten posts by introducing myself
My device doesent have a Q&A section that im aware of, because it is for MetroPCS.... which does not get much dev support by XDA, cuz its a pay as you go....but has much potential. (some of the supporters are PlayfulGod, Ldrifta, and myself.)
"ATTENTION MODERATORS and Community"! I apologize if i have made a bad impression, im over it.
Yep, if you're completely serious about devving and sharing your work then I'd edit the above post if I were you. In general mods don't care much who you are, if you're breaking the rules consistently or being rude then they will ban you. Check out this thread, it's an example of a dev who was calling people fags and was banned for life (well, a story about said dev at least). As for the reply to your post, the reason it may have seemed rude is because there are a billion threads with people spamming for 10 posts every day so it was fairly reasonable for him to assume you were one of them. If you really are a dev then you probably won't even need a device specific Q&A, just answer questions in the general Q&A.

True, but it stops people from reporting him. May as well give him a chance, it's not right to judge people based solely on two posts. I did that once to some guy who didn't search before posting, he's now an RC with about 5 ROMs and over 1000 thanks.
Alright there gentlemen.... lets start over

Good evening.
Im looking to make some contributions to the community.
I have recieved so much help and guidance for a long time, finally ditched the old forum, and im joining the big dogs here.
Should have a rom posted for LG esteem users in the near future.
Just got a raspberry Pi, and i think there is going to be quite a bit of back and forth around here.
John, sorry bout the ruckass there Pilgrim, waaaah haaaaw!
Ok, I think this has gone to far. Thanks for joining and if you want to contribute, just do it.
Thread closed.
Hi mods
I after years I am bothering to ask that you please remove the "n00b" restrictions on my account. I am not one to wank away on your pages just to make them sticky... I generally have feedback to give or questions to ask and as much as I always go to other sources to post rather than here due to restriction, I have a lot of experience with OUYA, and now I am just annoyed that yet another android topic I know so much about, I cannot give input without jumping through anti-spam hoops on your page... and don't get me started on LG or Sony XP (if any of you know my professional bg you know what I mean)
I am not going to go helping fellow users when I have to wait 5 minutes between posts when scanning forums during a meal break... just like my detailed post on how to flash to LG's went largely unnoticed due to your restrictions originally.
look at my posts and make a judgement.
look at my OUYA profile and make a judgement.
facebook me and make a judgement.
anyway I don't think you are like most tech forums... but I don't really want a teenager with an ego to tell me to waste space with x posts and make a bait-post to get x pluses to get more access... I just want to help others how I like to be helped - openly and free so let that happen

Just head over to Q&A and help 9 members, then you can can post in the dev section.
The 10 post rule applies to everyone...including you.

You may have tripped the Whining and Complaining detector. Mods add another hour before you can post in the dev section.
Sometimes there is a short delay after you make your 10 posts. Won't be long now...
