We've recently done some spring cleaning! If a sticky was removed that shouldn't have been, link us to the thread, and tell us why. Our aim in removing stickies was to clean the forums up by removing threads that were no longer as relevant as they once were. Of course, these threads weren't deleted, but they no longer stay on the top of the forum.
Before you point us to a thread, ask yourself this about the thread in question: is this thread of vital importance to XDA users, so much so that they should see it each and everytime they enter this forum?
Kk, will notify you if i find one
Congrats for the cleaning!
It was necessary

It has exactly 6 stickys now
Also, just to add to what svetius stated above, if you feel some current stickies do not necessarily require sticky status, please inform me either on this thread or by PM so I can review said sticky
I tried a few,but they are expired.
Thanks
Wrong section yo. Try the accessories section.
As pointed out already, wrong section.
Thread closed.
A thread dedicated to this has its problems.
First off, its huge. You cant look at someone that maybe has the same requirements as you and see what other people said about it. A typical example is a lot of people that want to switch to a Nexus phone. It would be easier to search for that in that section, see what people say and then not have to make the same thing again
Second, way too many posts. Similar to one but if the thread is on page 1000 and some posts a thread saying "What phone do I get?" later another 10 people post the same thing and we are on page 1001. Everything on page 1000 gets lost because noone looks thru them. You would have to double post.
A dedicated section where people can post threads on what device they are look for wouldnt clutter the forums and would let everyone express what they are looking for.
@riahc3, instead of making new threads, please consider posting your recommendations in this thread dedicated to that purpose.

You are redirecting me to a similar thread with the same problem; It is a bit more understandable as the staff should read every single suggestion and respond to them.
The device thread is stupid because it is by members for members. There is no obligation.
Basically you are answering my request for a solution to a thread with a problem by redirecting me to a thread with the same problem. Thats why I doubt you read my post.

Ah, I see your point. Touché, my good sir.
I just recommended you posting this request in that thread because as moderators and admins frequent that thread more than the About XDA forum as a whole, your opinion might get seen and considered more quickly than in this individual thread.

Firstly, there are 3 threads dedicated towards this subject. You're well aware of this because you've been told this, and have posted in one. And now you're complaining again, because your question, which you have already asked wasn't immediately after you posted it after the majority of people qualified to (re)answer your question are in bed, asleep.
Secondly, your "solution" of dedicating a forum for individual threads is hardly a solution. Your complaint is that posts get buried and never get answered. For one thing, this is not true. For another thing, if this is your complaint, what the heck makes you think that dozens of individual threads won't get buried? With the combined amount of posts in these threads, every day would create a new page or 2 in a subforum if they were made as individual threads. It's the same "problem", only multiplied and organized into a subforum rather than a few dedicated threads. Furthermore, it's very easy for me to read through new posts in a thread, but far more tedious to open multiple threads to read and perhaps reply individually, whereas in a single thread I can multi-quote and make several replies easily and in a tidy manner.
I think it's fine just the way it is. If anything, 3 is too many threads, since 2 of them are quite redundant, but since they're both in Q&A sections, (one General, one Android), I can see the reasoning for having one in each, if only to keep down on the clutter you insist you're entitled to making.
Wanna know what device to get? It is simple. Do your research and pic a device that fits what you need it to do. Flashing roms are not important, what devices works for others is not important. It is all up to you and what you plan on to do with the device. If you main plan is to flash roms with it then you might want to rethink the need for it.
There is no need for another forum.
If your not willing to read threw threads then you shouldn't be here in the first place. If you have an issue with said device and dont search and read threw to find the answer and then ask it anyway you are asking to be flamed to no end.
Remember this is a developers site.

Second (clutter) thread I have addressed of yours...
Why not post your thoughts here to the Admins & Moderators, vice making a new thread (clutter)....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976627
And or read Zel's Post #8 of this thread.
Why is it that Q&A is listed first? Also how come it doesn't say "Discussion,Blank,Blank." instead of "Guides,News, oh and discussions! we can't forget discussions"
Browsing the Galaxy S7 forum it felt like the Q&A section is the new General discussions sub.
I feel like there should be a poll on this. Am i the only one who thinks so?
We changed these only recently. The forum owners made this decision in order to simplify things, as well as ensure the Q&A forum is listed first, as that's where most activity takes place.
A lot of thought went into it, and it won't be changed again soon I'm afraid. To be honest, we've never had any other complaint or issue with it.
Why did it feel like the Q&A forum is the new discussion forum? I'm curious why you say this.
Who is then safe here with his roms
Generally if a thread is moved it's because it's posted in the wrong forum section. When the thread is moved that's also usually accompanied with at least a notification that the thread has been moved, but sometimes it can also be a PM.
If you've got questions about a ROM thread being moved you can always contact any moderator and ask for clarification on the matter.
It's hard for me to say more than that since I don't have any backstory to what you're talking about.
Since this thread isn't really on topic for this forum I'll lock it and if you want to discuss further you can contact me through a PM.
