[Q] How to become a moderator - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

So how does one become a moderator? The reason I ask is that I am SO sick of reading the same stupid questions over and over and over (as are majority of the members here). This phone has a few talented DEVs, but as a whole the community for the E4GT is terrible. No one reads, no one searches, and frankly, some of the questions that people ask on here shows that they shouldn't even own a SMARTPHONE!
I remember how it used to be back in the day, as do some of you. If you weren't a DEV and were just here to use what was provided, you kept your damn mouth shut. The only time you spoke up is if you searched far and wide and exhausted all your other resources...then you asked your question and hoped the real DEVs on here would give you the time of day...and that was great! You actually had to LEARN something...
These days, and for some reason this phones community is the worst, the "I want it now" pigs overrun every freaking thread on the forum. It even makes searching impossible because your "results" just pop up the same stupid question being asked over and over.
Anyways, I could go on forever, but I only want to know one thing...how can I become a moderator and help clean some of this up so it is better moving forward?

Rule of thumb with any forum: if you have ask to become a mod, you're not going to be one. I'm relatively new here, and to flashing phones in general as the epic 4g ttouch is my first smartphone. So when you mention how any who isn't some sort of Dev should keep their mouth shut I can't help but take it personally. If you really did want to become a mod this wasn't a way to do it. Believe me I'm not trying to overstep boundaries, I know my place. But you're only coming off angry.

Can't be a mod? You can always do what the guy in the image is doing...although you'd drive the mods crazy.

People asking the same questions over and over along with a sense of self entitlement aren't going anywhere. You just have to live with it.

LOL:
Is this a joke, or:
Are you for real?
After reading this, I hope beyond all hope, that YOU never become a moderator on XDA.
Good lord, you already sound like some ficticious example of a power-hungry mod that abuses his power...
I can only (barely) imagine what you'd be like if they ever gave you any real power around here...
Let me guess: Jackboots?

I hope the people replying here aren't the ones I'm referring to in my Ambien induced rant above. It was just meant to point out that there are a growing (and outnumbering) group of people that won't take the time to learn and be PROACTIVE about things that could break their phone. They are the ones that are REACTIVE and expect the world. Case in point: we STILL have people flashing the international 9100 ICS ROMS...STILL! I'm not saying we all need to get this elitist chip on our shoulders, but it takes everyone to clean this crap up. For the longest time I never knew why some people flamed the crap out of other members for asking questions....now I know.
I hope the people reading this that can read between the lines and see what I'm trying to do appreciate it. I also hope that those who take offense look in mirror...
If you can't point out flaws without trying to help fix, then please don't comment at all.

Actually I agree with you. People search and search less and made no attempt to understand at least the basic informations before rooting or customizing their phones. I spent a solid 12 hours googling and searching before deciding to root my phone.
But you are obviously not going to win this one. Forget asking people to search the forum before asking question. There is a two page thread on Epic 4g Touch General area about disabling update notification and people don't even bother to read the OP thoroughly before asking the question. They wonder why what they did did not work when it is clearly explained in the OP.

I kinda see what you mean, but I use the search more since they removed the Captcha....I really hated that. I think we should let people know about it...because that was the reason why I didn't use the search in the first place.
Oh...and also the search time limit

You have to be understanding here .... Some people on here have been here since the hero and know how it was back then , but alot are totally new to smart phones and basically ignorant to how a tech forum like this is... They don't know to search and such ...they found this by google and have no clue how to go about getting help so they post in the wrong forums and such..this in turn causes existing members to be frustrated and not help like they should...in fact there should be more to do to become a member here and get posting privileges ...

The ELF is in the house!

After a short, and forced, vacation I'm back! LOL Anyways.. My ELF rom will be recooked shortly. Primary support will STILL be at htc-devs.com (I like it there ). It is a totally different style of rom cooking.. Mostly relying on extrom and .cabs to allow for greater end-user flexibility. My rom won't be for everyone, but, it should allow for a nice option--unique from other roms on here.
Creativity is the name of this rom..

There ARE newbies like myself, who bricked their phones upgrading (I had a PC crash) and figured out how to fix it by going through the WIKI even though some create threads doesn't mean every newbie does it :>
n00bs are critical to the success of XDA-Developers. We tolerate and help them because our best developers were once n00bs. Devices are constantly changing and our "experts" constantly change too.
When m$ officially releases WM6 this forum will die back down to what it is 99% of the time. Then we will quietly begin taking apart the next generation of hardware and will start looking at the next generation of Windows Mobile.
The n00bs that we tolerated will drift away except those who can contribute. You will never find this on forums with zero n00b tolerance.
I dont think n00b has EVER turned into something useful, however once we were all newbies (yes there is a difference) who didnt know what we were doing, but wanted to learn how, not sit there demanding 'HI LOL GIVE ME GUIDE FOR TO PUT MW^ ON MY SONY ERICSSON NOW LOL' then five minutes later 'WHY IS NOONE REPLY YET? HELP ME NOW'.

In the strictest definition you are correct. I'm a half full glass kind of guy tho and I'm always thinking one will switch over. I'm sure that somewhere this has happened. More importantly, n00b bashing means that some newbies may be afraid to post and might just quietly slink away...
The great thing about the internet and the millions of subject based forums is that folks from all over the world can get together and share information on the subject of their choice. This free flow of information coupled with our fast paced lifestyle does lend to folks wanting to ask rather than search since they see it as the fastest way to get the information they seek. For the most part a gentle nudge in the right direction is all they need. The downside is that forums also provide a venue for those who lack knowledge to demonstrate their self perceived superiority anonymously. It's far easier and less costly to ignore a post that you think doesn't deserve a response. If you feel the need to reply you should respect the individuals who are providing the equipment, time, and bandwidth that makes the forum you are using possible. You do this by posting intelligent and informative responses.

[Q] What happened to "[REWARD] for Ice Cream Sandwich ROM"?

Been following that thread for weeks. Then its just gone. Can some one provide an update or details?
Thanks
Was closed due to arguments and fighting and possible breach of XDA rules
A few of people giving thanks for closing the thread were the ones causing the problems. Go figure a useful thread closed because of a few hot heads.

I didnt ***** at him in that thread but i did not like it when he quoted me than talked **** about me for 4 paragraphs. Only later he realised he was wrong but the damage was done when he said things that were uncalled for in my instance. Its lame it did get shut down due to slightly lame posts. Honestlt the people who were actually going to donate money still will so thats not hurt but i was unhappy it got shut down because alot of people really enjoyed that thread and had a great time. My 2cents

Be best to just leave it alone, doncha think?
One of the excuses for closing it down was due to it not being for a particular dev but just in general. I agree there was some minor bickering going on but the main reason for that thread should have prevailed over the few arguments that took place.
There was obviously a lot of interest based on the amount of money that was raised and it is unfortunate that doesn't matter here.
I guess if someone wanted to start another bounty thread up and say it is for team Viper to deliver ICS to the E4GT then that would abide to the XDA rules...

I don't know what the continued disagreement is about...
It's been shown before that bounty threads don't work.
It would be more effective to get everyone's money together and buy a phone outright for developers like Rootzwiki does.
Most developers don't do this for any sort of monetary gain, providing different models allows development across even more phones.

The only problem with people purchasing a phone for a dev is at that point they feel like the dev will owe them something and would expect them to put in all the hours until they get whatever it is the people want working.
If the dev decided he didn't want to put the time in to get the work done, I think the people who purchased the phone would get pretty annoyed and would have a pretty valid argument I think.
At this point, who would you buy a phone for that can honestly say I can produce ICS for the ET4G? If someone can actually make that claim, I think people would do it but I do not know who that person would be.
I believe the CM team already has the phone so I would guess they are working on CM9 for us. At least that is what I think I heard, someone correct me if I am wrong.

There isn't a perfect method for anything.
However, the purchasing of phones for developers just seems like a better strategy.
I've read multiple tweets by several different developers that show they're more interested in that than bounties or small donations.
I think it would be better for the community if XDA embraced this idea and allowed people to donate to a fund that would essentially buy phones for devs.
Thread was closed due to the trolls and drama. Just like 50% of the other threads on E4GT forum...
I'm not sad to see it go, I had a conversation with Glenn and know his intentions were all good, it's just with all the trolls in the E4GT forums it got out of hand.

Yeah things have definitely gotten out of hand. Looks like Viper's ICS thread in the general section is headed the same way with things so much off topic lately. People can't let anything go. When they argue once, they just got to keep dragging it on for some reason.
It was a stupid concept overall. That's why it's gone.

It was closed because it did not adhere to XDA rules regarding bounty threads, as stated by Jerdog himself.

i couldnt agree more my man. in the evo days which was not that long ago for me this arguing and *****ing just was not at the level it in here. im not sure why people see the need to **** on everything they see and then pick out some one whom to have a lengthy argument with on the thread. they should just pm each other and have all these ***** fests with them selfs so we wont have too see it all and have it over all through out a entire thread take up several pages worth. its no wonder when people new to xda come in here and dont read the thread and ask repeat questions all the time. i bet if people just stuck to asking legit questions and raising legit concerns that the threads would be 50% or more smaller and be packed just full of use full information that would cause a lot of news to spend the time reading without wading through **** soup trying to find a answer for there problems. im glad Jerdog goes through threads and cleans up a ton of crappy posts to make the ones of importance easier to get to. xda needs to come up with a anti crappy post software to detect bull **** and stop the person from being able to post out there but hole. lol ok i feel better now

THREAD CONTENT
My motive
My goals
Introduction child-boards
Child boards under my recommendation
My Motive
However XDA is a wonderful community there is still some room for improvement. XDA is great, as so are 'most' of the people around here, but however it's greatness there is still
one thing that does sometimes annoy me, is its organisation..
Let's be honest some people don't know where they should start their thread of where to find stuff, on the other hand most people who do have those problems are mostly plain stupid or are to lazy to search.
Yet I believe, that a little re-organisation will be able to address this matter and makes our lives, as the lives of users, mods or developers a little easier.
Lucky for you guys, I am not the guy that just complains, without constructing or achieving a potential solution.
I already put some hard work in it and I am fully prepared to do even more if necessarily , but before you judge me, please read and see see what I had in mind.
My Goals
Optimizing your User Experience
Creating new Levels of User Potential
Simplifying current structures and its organisations
Smoother, Faster, Clearer and Better
Introducing child-boards
I know it looks plain simple and you can believe I barely made any changes. BUT THAT IS THE KEY! That is my GOAL, keeping things as slim as possible. Still a child board can achieve an immense difference just only in your experience.
Imagine this simple user interface: Where you'll be able find to find a sub-board with ONLY ROM Releases or just everything related to it, so as for kernels.
Still I am perfectly aware that the ANDROID development goes beyond, ROM's and Kernels, YET these 2 elements in my opinion the main reason why people go to XDA, or they create kernels and ROM's or they want to flash them.
~~~ Organisational Problems ~~~​
No offense but isn't this a little weird, that so many people voted, where they'd best place their own thread?
Or is still someone able to tell, where I should fit this topic? ​
Child boards under my recommendation:
Separated Product Model Boards:
Even though people might find it lame, just know flashing the wrong firmware onto your phone, can brick your device,
accidents easily occur and even I noticed I accidently clicked onto the G development without even noticing it after 5 min and however the difference might look minor to some of you.
Why would you put 2 devices in the same area, knowing they require different systems, firmware and work on different hardware, meaning even though they are in the same range, THEY STILL DEFER
General Talk:
News​This community has a lot of potential users, that are motivated and willing to uncover the latest and hottest news for their phone or their device and I am fully aware that we do have XDA Tv.
But still I strongly believe this could be a very very useful sub-forum. Moderators or Forum Staff can sticky their posts to announce new rules or competitions
and only selected members will be able to post news concerning their galaxy s2 or their device, to decrease chances of any spam topics.
So why would we miss out on this potential, why wouldn't we publish a story that for example, AGPS, allows you to get a faster GPS lock or people invented a new script to conserve 50% more battery than usual,
does it really harm anyone, that one story wouldn't be that interesting, as this place could offer you, a pool of different stories that might catch your interest.
Nobody is forced to publish something, neither are you to read, you'll only have the Galaxy S2 knowledge library right at your disposal.
Android Developent:
Seperated ROM & Kernel Board​Wouldn't it be way easier to find all your ROM releases in one place and ONLY them?
Would we even need updated indexes anymore, when this would all be clear and accessible in one single location,
would we even be bothered to posts polls as where should I put this thread as you might have already seen above?
Wouldn't this make your user experience more simpler finding in two clicks whatever you'd like?
I'd certainly vow for this!
ROM & Kernels Separated, everything else, in the android development thread (Applications, scripts, Tweaks, ...
Interactive Search Functions

You shouldn't' be thanking me, it's my privilege I can be part of this community.
I saw a lot of potential around here and I am not much of a scripter, neither am I able to cook mods or roms
But I just wanted to give something back in return
I am just a simple student from Belgium with some crazy ideas
Still I feel honored my contribution will be taken in consideration and if you just require my help
Or you want me to do something, don't even hesitate to ask
Yours sincerely, Intensity
I for one, love this new idea. The separated rom and kernel sections are superb, it would be so much easier for users to find what they want. I could spend time writing every little thing down, but im on a short schedule. All in all, I want this

Haha just kidding, much appreciated

any chance the mods can loosen up a little bit

I see alot of theads being closed constantly, kinda hampers freedom of speach. Please dont ban me, I just think you guys need to step back and take a breather sometimes before jumping on the close button.
All this time could be put into making my LIVE wallpaper switching program, I have money and google. But I would rather pay than google how to script that out.
Most of the thread being closed have dedicated threads in the stickies sections.
Why waste space and time? I mean I think you could go through and count the number of Apple vs. Samsung threads that have been closed, you'd need more then 2 hands. Same with LTE 4G.

I was getting a hand-job off my new girlfriend when I asked, "How are you so good at this?" "Years of practice," she said. "Bit of a player in your day?" I laughed. "No," she replied, "my dad had no arms."

Yes, some moderators can come off as arrogant. I can see their frustration as the threads get bogged down with the same questions over and over again. Although, they need to accept their position as moderator and not allow their frustrations to spew onto others. Lesson... Read, read, read... Your question has been answered 99% of the time. Especially in development threads. The same question asked repeatedly can slow down development, because instead of working on improving the device, they have to answer the same questions 50 times.

Know them, follow them. They are in place for good reasons and frankly, IMO i think most forums could be moderated much heavier. The fact is, 4 million users cannot all be moderated so we just appreciate the work we get from our mods, regardless.

How bout this :?
I wrote '****' on my son's forehead while he was sleeping the night before his birthday.
We couldn't afford the iPad he wanted, but he'll still enjoy the feeling of owning one.

Is it just me or is K perry a dog. I guess the appeal is shes just ugly enough men think they got a shot at her, which makes her more attractive in their minds? Id rather get hep from Pam Anderson any day of the week.

I like katy for her music
Like Omggzz its soo awesome
And her lyrics are AAAmazing
"do you ever feel like a plastic bag, drifting through the wind, wanting to start again.
do you ever feel, feel so paper thin, like a house of cards, one blow from caving in."
Like totally.
They're merely pushing all the talk/threads to the apple vs Samsung hub thread. Would you rather have that, or an ocean of apple vs Samsung threads flooding the first two pages

Found the SGSII for .96 cents for an upgrade, what should I do to it?

Found the Samsung Epic 4g Touch for .96 cents at Sam's Club and I am going to pick it up tomorrow. I know I don't want the stock Sprint crap and I want Wimax tethering. What do you think will be the best rom to do this with? I understand I will be getting opinions only.

Welcome. There is no best ROM, its a matter of personal preference. You're going to get flamed and this thread will probably get locked. Better luck next time... spend time reading before flashing, it is possible to brick

I have been reading and this is for opinions only, I know every rom is different that is why I asked for opinions to figure which fits me better. This was the first phone forum that actually had a q&a area so I thought that was what it was for. My bad if I screwed up.
You should just buy my device for 170$
You should try out some roms and see. This thread will be locked by papa smurf though. We have had a ton of these posts lately good luck

I guess I have always been on legacy device forum or something because I have never heard of a Nazi Mod who has a problem with people asking questions in a Q&A forum. I do appreciate the people who have answered and I do find this hilarious.

Papa can speak for himself but they're not a "Nazi Mod".
Your question is one of your taste and your taste only. Go read the OPs of the Rom's and decide for yourself.
All you're asking for is fans of this rom, that rom, this build, that build to weigh in. So, what's the point?
Instead of asking everyone to do the work for you, read through the numerous posts on the different roms available and decide for yourself.

Shame on you for assuming everyone doesn't read first, I have been perusing the Epic 4g touch for the last 2 weeks but I still like other users opinions. I mean the internet is for acquiring knowledge and learning in different ways, no it wasn't made for porn and cat pictures. When I buy something off the internet I read all the reviews by individuals I can to make sure the item is OK, these reviews are their opinions, and I ask for opinions as well. I mean seriously I know every single one of you guys probably do the same thing. No one buys blindly so yes I will always ask for other people opinions. It is the only way I found out using CM7.2 on my current LG Optimus S is what I was looking for. If you all want to be rude and not answer that is your choice but I will always ask.

I only said Nazi mod because of the way you guys were talking about him, I personally don't know him yet. I want people to weigh in on what they like about a rom, yes, so I can decide if that feature is something that would work for me. I am sorry to say that a person who created a rom is going to say everything they can to praise their rom, I know i would, so I don't go buy it alone. Especially if it will be my daily driver, i would rather not have to try a rom out everyday. Yes, I read what other people say as well but the only people who usually talk in a rom thread are the people who like it, not everyone will say what they don't like about it.

never flame people, you were a noob once
I think what most were thinking is that there are plenty of threads with people asking the same question in this forum... They just wanted you to look instead of opening a new thread. I wouldn't flame someone because depending on what you are using to view xda, sometimes you don't have all the options you do when on the internet and end up posting in wrong places... In your case, you asked a question i have seen in the last couple of weeks at least four times. Do get discouraged just check prior threads for this phone first.

I would recommend trying out a whole bunch of different ones, there are plenty of stable ROMs out there man, its all about what fits you best, I couldn't tell you has many I flashed before I found the one I currently rock. Good luck and welcome to the SgSII world!
