I just wanted to start this thread so that everyone with something not pertaining to a specific rom or development would have a place to post instead of cluttering up the Development Threads with off topic gibberish.
Please refer anyone to this post that you see fit.
This type of thread was just recently posted i believe...
This topic belongs in the "off topic section" of xda.
Probly will be moved there.

Can anyone explain to me the new policies started in the new Q&A section?
Has anyone seen this? Apparently, you have to jump through hoops to open a new thread in the new Questions and Answers section.
From RULES - Must Read Before Posting Sticky in Q&A
ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE POSTED IN SEPERATE THREADS. IF YOU WISH TO OPEN A NEW THREAD FOR YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING: If you wish to open a thread, you must PM me with the name of your thread, and the page number where it is located. IF YOU OPEN A THREAD, AND DO NOT SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO TWEAKMAN, YOUR THREAD WILL BE DELETED. There will be no exception to this. You must send the message to have your thread open!!!
ANY NEW THREAD, NOT OPENED BY A MODERATOR WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDITALEY: If you have a question you would like posted, you will not be turned away. This is only done to ensure that your question doesn't become lost in the pages as this section grows.
TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO REQUEST YOUR THREAD DO THE FOLLOWING:
1:GO TO THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THIS POST AND CLICK ON USER NAME "TWEAKMAN"
2:ONCE ON THE NEW PAGE, GO TO CONTACT INFO
3:SELECT THE OPTION TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE (NO OTHER FORM OF MESSAGE WILL BE ACCEPTED)
4:INCLUDE ONLY YOUR QUESTION
5:YOUR DONE!! YOUR QUESTION WILL BE POSTED IN A NEW THREAD FOR FURTHER HELP AND DISCUSSION!

I can think of three really good reasons not to do this:
Nobody reads the stickies.
Especially newcomers to the forum. People are just going to post new threads and wonder why they keep getting deleted.
It isn't very convenient.
What happens if I have a problem when Tweakman is asleep? Or on the toilet? I really feel sorry for that guy if he is going to have to publish every question anyone asks.
It is unnecessarily difficult.
The creation of this section was to help the Development and Hacking section get rid of general question posts. But if it is easier to make a new post in Development and Hacking, then people are just going to keep on doing that. Like this guy.
And then there is this:
ALL NEW QUESTIONS WILL BE REMOVED AFTER 7 DAYS: Once a thread is opened with your question, it will be left standing for a total of 7 (seven) days. If your question has not been answered at that time, you may repost your question as many times as needed. Again, this is to ensure that your question doesn't become lost in the pages as this section grows.

I don't get this either. What's wrong with the system as it is? Why can't we just leave the questions so that people can search for answers before they post? (Okay, granted most newcomers don't search either, but some do.) If people aren't getting answers, they can just bump their thread.
Am I wrong?
I agree, great intentions, but the whole idea is poorly conceived, just like the original thread in Development and hacking...nothing got answered, and if it did, how do you navigate to it to find it? Is anyone going to dig through this crap to answer someone else's question. I think not.
Give it time.
The kinks will be worked out.
Don't be so negative.
it will be open for all to post soon...... they are working on a team to keep the thread organized once fully opened

Sounds good. I hope lots of people pitch-in to help.
Q&a Section Now Open For All To Post
To PG101: why won't you add a Q&A Forum here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1469 so that, you will not be tired of closing a thread here?
Why is there a new thread for this... the off topic lounge serves the purpose!
And the Q,A section is made after 1000 threads in the general section.
Thanks.
Hi to all
This is just to remind you this is for development only.
Please do not start Question or request threads. These threads go in the general section. I will usually close these threads if posted here.
Do not ask for ETAs on Roms, it just clutters up the thread and annoys the developer.
Anything i condone as spam will be instantly deleted.
Please do not post thank you. That is what the thanks button is for.
If anybody feels a post should be a sticky, please PM me with the reasoning.
Please report any posts that are out of place, or contain questionable content. They will be dealt with quickly!
So basically please only post ROM Development, Hacks, Mods, Fixes and Tutorials in this section.
Thank you for your attention, if you have any further questions. Please feel free to PM me

Hey guys!
I've been assigned as one of the moderators for the Galaxy Nexus forum, along with andyharney, 'cooleagle', efrant, Step666, The-Hulk, veyka, and our illustrious leader, TheDeadCPU.
Just a few things to keep in mind:
Please have a quick look at the Forum Rules whenever you get a chance.
Please treat other members how you would like to be treated. If you notice a post that is abusive, inappropriate or off-topic, please just report it without adding a comment in the thread -- it just adds to the spam.
For the Development teams to thrive, the development section needs to stay clean and tidy. Please make sure you post in the correct sections, and give us the heads-up if you see anything out-of-place, abusive, condoning warez etc.
Only work that you created goes in the Development section. If you did not create it, it goes in General, not Development.
Reference, tutorials and how-to's belong in the General Section.
All questions belong in the Q & A Section, not in General or Development.
Do not create placeholder threads (including placeholder threads for ROMs, radios, guides, updates, tweaks, etc.).
Please no 'for sale' threads in ANY section.
If you see any thread that is in the wrong section, please don't hesitate to click the report button.
Feel free to message any one of us if you have any questions, comments, or issues pertaining to this forum.
Thanks in advance for all your help.
Learn, share your knowledge, and have fun!
Telling a mod about this!!!!!
Ok, I am not a ROM expert. I have created this thread for discussion, arguments, polls etc. about ROMs. Hope this becomes a sticky.
Here only Stable ROMs will be posted. I would like the devs of their ROMs give info about their ROMs in this way:
1. Name:
2. Type: (performance, customizable, etc.) Describe the ROM in only one word.
3. All other info
4. One Screen shot
I will quote your message on the top.
Thanks to all the people in this thread.
I'll keep updating this, so let's rock!
Please don't post this kind of threads in the development section. If you want you can post it in the General Section. Request a moderator to move the thread to the General Section. Please post threads in the correct section according to the content of the OP.
@Lady Android Can you just delete this thread? Pls.
this is against the rules
dont open best rom/kernel thread. read xda rules. @Jonny

Thread closed.
Said this once and i'll say it again:
There really isn't any point creating these 'best rom/kernel' threads. You're basically asking 'what's your favourite rom/kernel' You're asking for opinions, they vary from person to person.
Have a look in Android development sections (don't post!) and check the changelogs and see which offers the features you desire and make your mind up there search is your friend.
Can all members refrain from creating these sort of threads, thank you.
Thanks
