I have flashed and used many of the ROMs from the Nexus forums here but can't post replies or questions I have in those forums. I realize I may not be a developer myself but the need to ask questions directly on those forums is needed.

Need to ask questions in a dev thread? We as a community need people to be contributing members and that means reading and learning and helping out a few less experienced members in the device General and Q&A forums with answers before posting questions in the dev threads please.
If you need a more thorough explanation have a good read here: [GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)
If you have any other questions after that then hopefully you will know where to ask them.

I hate having to look in Q&A for questions about a specific rom. If you ask in a ROM's thread then there would be more people with that rom that have more specific answers and experiences.

I agree with this, but until I get to 10 posts I can't reply in the ROM's thread in the Development forum. =(

Q and A, once you reach recognised dev statues there is a forum just for them to talk about ideas etc but for now just go for the android q and a
i can not find xperia pro (mk16) forum. please help.
I have just registered because I wanted to help somebody with one question in a development forum. After registering, I realized that I'm not allowed to post in the development forums until I post 10 times in the general forum because this forum is only for expert users. I cannot catch the connection between new user and development expertise...
Well, no matter. If the help and collaboration is not wanted, I'll let the user's question unanswered.
I will just continue only reading and not participating...
Bye...

That question should have never been in the development forum in the first place, it should have been in Q&A if available or general if not. You could also PM the user, rather than spamming maybe?

This ^^^^. The question shouldn't be asked in a development forum, that is what q&a is for... development is for development, not questions... not even a question about the rom/kernel should be in development... only development related things... as one of my fav devs say, logcat or gtfo of development forums...

Please in the future:
1) Search first.
2) Don't post questions in the development section.
Maybe there needs to be a step included in the process of creating a new thread asking the OP to ensure the thread belongs in that forum.
Please read forum rules before posting

On the "desktop" version of the website, there's already a step when creating a thread that automatically searches and finds existing threads on the subject.
It's already ignored by a lot of people.
I'm skeptical that adding an additional step for people to ignore is the correct solution. That being said, I have to real solution.
I always try to suggest people search and I'm fully aware that it makes the threads seem hostile to newcomers. I honestly don't know what to do half of the time. Being polite helps, but a lot of time people want to get upset.
Sorry people. I thought maybe I would get a more direct answer if I came directly to the sacred area of developers. Now I know that next time I'll go to Q&A and look there for the answers I need instead of relying on your expertise.

I was about to point you in the exact direction that mlin did. That's some good stuff, I keep it on my SD card in case of an emergency run to sprint for insurance or anything.

It's not about expertise, it's about Development, that's reserved for exactly that development of roms, mods etc.. It is not a question and answer forum nor a theming section. Those have their own section with thousands of people which are going to probably help you and give you proper information. Also mocking the words of a Moderator is not a good thing to do. Just some friendly advice.

please port some kind of rom
Please unlock the bootloader, then.
Boot loader doesn't need to be unlocked for a port. According to thecubed that is. :thumbup:
I will be starting to learn how to make Roms tomorrow.

I appreciate your optimism and generally good attitude. However, juniors who don't read the rules and have a general disregard for the organization and structure of this community are a detriment. They create extra work for moderators who volunteer their time and make finding information substantially more difficult for users of the site.
If memory serves me well, one of the rules is not to ask for development or etas, though it's been a while since I've peeked at them. Another is certainly posting in the correct forum - which this is not.
I'm going to be blunt, I don't think junior members should be allowed to post in the development sections. Moderators should have the ability to upgrade to a regular member at any time if they see a junior acting accordingly. Likewise, if you post in wrong sections and then abandon the section without reporting your post to a moderator to be closed along with an apology, you should be demoted to a junior for some time. This would prevent a cluttered mess to have to sift through.
It's bad enough we have a severe lack of development due to exclusivity and bootloader issues without the added stress of clutter. I'm not hating on the Op but it sure is disrespectful and I'm sure most will agree with me that it isn't appreciated or beneficial by anyone.

Whoa let's not turn this into a mod hating thread man. I completely agree with the both of you though. It can definitely get frustrating though. I was just saying to the other guy that said the op needs yo learn how to read. I just that part was uncalled for.

2nd.... noobs, juniors, seniors or moderators we are all on a learning curve and should respect all with patience. Everyone has asked a dumb question, a question that might have already been answered etc. I have and I can only assume all the moderators and or senior members have done the same. gentle reminder rather than coming down on members should be at hand. chill...... this should be an enjoyable situation for all....

this forum is a disaster and not because of misplaced posts, in fact, just the opposite. we have 12 ****ing mods for this forum, 12.
that's prolly more than peeps posting in here. and they are the ones that **** up the forum moving threads around almost willy nilly.
i ask what peeps are using their qbutton for in the gen forum, that thread got moved to help. umm wtf.
get rid of 11 of the 12 mods and teach the one remaining about which threads go where.

Also, many topics are directed to the big "discuss" thread. (the one that was started before this forum even existed, with a ton of useless junk) Why make people go through that? It's convenient to only read threads of interest...
And why mess with threads that have been dead for days?

No, they are directed to be posted in general or Q&A. That's not difficult at all. This post has no place in the development section, period. It's not hard to read the rules and post in proper sections.
This isn't a debate, this is in the wrong section. Development goes in development. Questions in Q&A. Accessories in accessories. Everything else falls in general.

I'm referring to the five recently locked topics in the general section... So, if not many, certainly more than a few.

Didn't see those until you mentioned it. That seems ridiculous to me too. In fact I've never seen something like that done in other phone forums. I can imagine it being done for duplicate threads but forcing us to use s single thread seems ridiculous.

First OP Thread Closed & Moved out of the Development Section I will ask you to read the Forum Rules on Posting.
The Moderation Team is made of volunteers and they are Members just like you, if you see threads and or posts out of place...report them, vice posting in this manner.
The Moderation Team can not be in all threads,...again if you find threads that need addressing report it, we rely on Members to point out issues/violations.
Thank You.
