A Better xda-developers forum experience...

Maybe there could be a basic reading test for new users.
if they fail to pass the test...
they cannot post.
seems like that would clean up this site rather nicely.

Here's the one required to be a moderator:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In all seriousness, XDA is open to anyone from any country, you don't even have to know English, you can use a translator (such as google or babelfish).

That would be a rather tall order, wouldn't it? Or a very restrictive undertaking. Like in view of the fact that xda is read ALL over the world, in how many languages would the reading test be written?

Also, its not fair to judge someone on how well they talk/communicate/type etc. As Dave correctly stated, XDA is open to all.
Instead of screening all users, maybe existing users should try and be more considerate to those which find it hard to communicate or speak in english

I never said anything about language skills.
I understand there are communication barriers. even with different dialects of the same language.
What my issue is, when noobies completely CLOG many of the forums
with repetitive and basic questions that would be easily resolved if they would just read.
most of the time the answers are even in the OP that they are posting in.
it's like they don't even try.
while I am certain to have asked noobie questions myself, I think that the lack of effort for a person to at least try and answer there own questions is sure laziness.
and for that I have no patience to offer help to those people.
if a person is having a hard time understanding something...
well that is perfectly acceptable.
there ARE forum rules but how is that enforced???
what is the point of having those rules if they go unenforced?

There must be well over a hundred posts an hour on this forum. No-one has the time to read all of them. If we explicitly enforced the forum rules on everyone who broke them most of the users on here would be banned (even us mods ). We each monitor the device forums we are most fluent (and sometimes not so much) in and close / move and occasionally delete posts / threads that do not belong. There will always be people who don't want to read and just want a quick solution and there are those that don't and actually spend the time helping themselves and others. The best we can do is to encourage them into posting in the correct threads, or searching for their answers first.
When there are posts that are clearly duplicate / redundant or in the wrong forum, they can be reported to the mods with a helpful message (why is it redundant, where does it need moving to, links to threads, etc?) and we will look into them.
Thanks,
Dave

How about just banning curse words? Ban F***, S***, B****, A******, F**, F******, A**, DumbA**, W****, etc. I'm sure users would adapt to say mother clucker instead of mother f*****, but it would be a welcome improvement in my eyes.

[Q] first timer rom, and problems

I used Rom manager with DamageControlv3.1.2-deodexed.
Took forever to reboot, and had to shut down to finally reboot.
Many processes are stopping unexpectedly, I have no phone dial pad.

hmmmmmmm, you start off your thread with a "q" and i can only assume it stands for question. In the evo section we have a section called Q+A....
No offense to the op, but i wish they gave an aptitude test before selling a smartphone. Or at least XDA should implement one before allowing registration?
But to answer your question, just reflash the rom, or another. the rom your using is pretty ancient anyways. Try virus or the new two point two rom. Either is excellent. If you want aosp, go cyan.

Alot of times when you flash a rom it takes a few minutes to initially boot up after you flash. Next time let it sit for like up to 7-10 minutes and see what happens. You might think its locked up or whatever, but its really building the cache and getting things ready for you.
Sorry these other kids has to act like idiots. Seems they all think they are moderators....just ignore the trolls and you will be ok.

People should stop posting wrong section and report directly to a mod.
Once the moderator does find out he/she then has to move the thread, and if there are "wrong section, stupid head" posts he/she has to delete them.
Less work makes for a happy mod.

I don't see why you guys waste your time posting if you don't know the answer to the question, Being able to edit settings in custom rom is important with out having to use pc. Is sad to see two post that don't provide anything

Well, they work for me on cm10...

And it's sad to see a post with such poor punctuation and grammar.
You know not to post in the development section for issues such as this, you've been a member for four years.
And my post wasn't even directed towards you.

Wow you failed to read the forum rules and have the nerve to tell people there wasting time... obviously you didn't graduate from school because if you knew how to read.. 1. You would have posted in the right section and 2. You would have knew how to use the search function because your question probably already has a post and answer.
I dont understand how hard that is to do. :silly:

If I learned one thing on XDA, it's this. Most people like to post in the wrong sections, because they know that they will get a faster answer and that more people will see it. They do it, despite the fact that they shouldn't. So, in theory, we should just ignore those that do it, because lets be honest...they know better and so should we. Now, I've also seen many members that know better, reply to these people and give them their answers, but they fail to see that, they are only feeding these people, to keep on doing it.

You Rock XDA for Saying No to Bigotry!

Thank you XDA's moderators for keeping this group focused on the phones and development rather than a place for bigots to throw insults around and use hateful, prejudiced language.
I was searching on the web for a new ROM for my Galaxy Note when I came across one here on the XDA site that looked interesting. After getting into its thread, I noticed it was closed. So, being the curious person that I am, I copied the dev's name and did a search on it. Sure enough, the dev was still using that name on aR new forum. On this new forum, someone asked him why he was banned from XDA. He responded that he had been suspended once before for calling someone a "fag" and then set up a new account to get around it, was caught, then banned for a year. Recently, he was in a "fight" with a moderator one night and the next morning discovered he was banned for life and all of his threads were shut down and his links/files were removed. He feels he was treated poorly and this was too harsh because all of his "hard work" was now for nothing. He was looking for others to commiserate with him, and of course, there were those that did and welcomed him to the new forum.
Well, I say good riddance. I will not be going to that other forum while he is there. I have no interest supporting bigots. He obviously saw nothing wrong with calling someone a "fag" since he so proudly mentioned it in his response, trivializing it as though it was nothing. I can only imagine what hateful language he was using with that moderator recently.
So again, thank you to XDA's moderators for keeping this a place for everyone to feel comfortable and not supporting bigotry, YOU ROCK!

Seriously, why can't everyone's first post on this forum be like this?
Thank you for not being like a lot of the new users, who just post rubbish across the forums.
Also for what it's worth, I agree with you 100% about the great job that the moderators and admins do.
Finally, welcome to XDA and I hope you continue to visit and enjoy your time here

Overclock and Testing Limits of my S20+

Hi everyone! Just for development/testing and improving my S20+ I was wondering if there is a way to Overclock our beloved exynos? And maybe disabling temperature checks so I can do my testing more freely? Any help guys?

Are you aware of the samsung care plus subscription which allows you to change your phone if damaged or you want to upgrade, allowing you 2 swaps in 2 years.

If you were a 12 year old who just joined xda to get help destroying your phone, I wouldn't be surprised. But considering you've been a xda member for almost a decade, I'd expect you to have at least a modicum of maturity and sense to know that no one is going to help you commit fraud. If you hate that phone, then sell it. You'll lose money on it, but a mature person takes responsibility for bad choices. Xda does not promote fraud or other illegal activities. Find another forum for that.

Since this thread seems to be spiraling rapidly out of control, I think it best that we just shut it down here and now. If i may, whether or not you may agree or disagree with an OP topic, that is no reason to start making accusatory, or harsh statements towards one another. I will ask you all kindly to please check your attitudes at the door, be respectful towards each other, keep arguments relegated to PM's, and most importantly, remember this simple phrase: Not all thoughts need be spoken or written!!
Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding.
