"1st posts" - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

There has been a recent movement of a few individuals reporting "1st" posts. Strangely though the 2 pages of "great, downloading now" or "was waiting to flash something" or just plain "thanks" were never reported. There is a thanks button and the dev can see all the names of the people that thanked him right there. I don't know why having a number on the 1st post bothers these people so much. The first 2 pages of a release were always filled with these kinds of posts. Now you can't have it both ways. Either all meaningless posts have to go or these "1st" posts are ignored. I don't think XDA would be much fun if all posts were "down to business" and contributing. And can those reporting the "1st" posts honestly say you never posted something that was non-contributing? It seems a lot of people enjoy this "1st" tradition and only a few it seems to bother to the point of reporting it. So rather than be selfish and make XDA a cold, dry, miserable place, can't we just let people have some fun and a little freedom. The moderators task is to enforce the rules but not to the point we are stormtrooping Gestapo. It is already hard enough with 20 million S3's sold and all the fighting, warez, ROM theft, trolling, and moving hundreds of threads a day, that we really don't need more reported posts for these trivial things added to it.
Now I ask.....please be considerate with the report button and think about someone that has a job, a family and a life that spends an hour or two a day cleaning up the "messes" here in order to help out, that you may be adding 5 minutes more to that time and taking it away from their family. It takes you 2 seconds to a report a post, it takes us minutes to clear it out. Is that really so hard to not be selfish and think of others instead of just how it bothers "you".
I want to thank all in the original thread, even the "no 1st post supporters" for helping me write a better OP, especially Jline05.

Because I squash those reported posts as NAR, No Action Required, but got another one today and it is like the straw and the camel's back thing.
Thanks to all in this thread for your support and sorry for it seeming like a trivial thread. Had to get it off my chest.

Never knew it would get this big

I can imagine how aggravating it would be looking at the reported posts, only to find out there are 60 "FIRST LoLoL LMAo dwnloding NAO" "Nice RoM LolZZZ" posts.

Wow. That's such an insightful post.
It's really quite shocking that out of approximately 4.5 million users that you'd think you're the only user here who thinks that this is "the greatest development forum".
May I make a suggestion?
Instead of jumping through random threads across XDA to tell people pointless stuff just to get up to 10 posts, you actually devote a bit of your time to reading threads such as :-
Forum Rules
Postcount limit in the developmental fora
Get the most out of XDA
XDA New User Guide
Now, you might be thinking that reading all of them might take quite a bit of time, and you're right. But it's either spend the time to read and follow what is said in those threads, or keep on doing what you are and quickly find that a moderator has deleted your posts because they're spamming.
The choice is yours
Oh, and please don't think that those threads were written for people like you just to ignore. That would be a really silly presumption to make and you'd quickly find out that those threads are in place to make this a much better place for all of us.
However, if you're struggling to think of how to get a legitimate 10 posts, then you should start off by answering peoples question in the General and Q&A sections for your device.
Much obliged

Receive notification when OP is edited.

Is there such thing as receiving a notification when the first post of the thread I am subscribed to has been edited? It would be especially helpful on the developers' subforum.
It would be nice but no there is no way to get a notification when the op is edited.
Sent from my Nocturnalized One XL using Forum Runner
No need to worry though, because usually OPs post a reply in the thread that the first post has been edited. Like "updated to 2.1 version, please check the first post".

Unfortunately, that is caused by people posting stuff in the Dev threads that shouldn't be there. If people could actually understand what the Dev threads are for and not post cr4p in there like "Thanks" or "Why doesn't this work - I haven't bothered searching".

Gs3 vs competition annoying threads!

Am i the only one getting annoyed from all these noobs creating new threads about upcoming devices? Can't people just do their own research and decide what phone to get??! Unless these noobs see us xda members as spiritual leaders...and whatever we tell them, they will do it
Not alone, but not with just the over abundance of these threads in particular, it also seems like a bunch of people just went out and got the phone and think they are the first to have issues of their own. In general people need to search more often and post less.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
That is true. maybe would be better if mods just make a sticky thread so people can discuss there about those phones.
LOL. cool man. it's just a forum man. if you can't ignore it just don't go here. just go to development section. cheese
I think it's more annoying making threads crying about it lol..
Either way no one's holding a gun to your head forcing you to look at them or read through them.

[Q] AOSP

Just curious if anyone was working on AOSP?
Yes. Please read the threads that are stickied before posting something like this. It's also in the wrong section But yeah, someone is working on it, no idea about ETA, don't ask that question. You'll have to wait a bit, not sure. But it is coming! K, no one start a flame war or yell, things happen.
If I were you I'd run very very fast and by that I mean edit this thread or immediately apologize for asking about this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173532
Dude did you look around the forums at all? There have been countless forums created asking about cm10 and aosp and the posters are ridiculed to no end.
Yes aosp is being worked on
No we don't have an eta
Don't bug the devs just be grateful with the current stuff and let them work

Why yes I did, but all they are is people saying stop asking. I don't see any actual answers or what is missing. I am not asking for ETA's or anything like that, this isn't my first day. But it just seems like this phone is about dead on the development side. The ATT seems to have much more of a following.

We have a lot of great devs and they work really hard behind the scenes they just don't like to be bugged or asked a lot. Thanks for being mature about this thread unlike some others. Yes it's on it's way, yes our devs are working hard. All we can do is let them work
As for what's missing I'm not the best to ask but up until know I'm pretty sure we were waiting on JB source, which just dropped last week
What's not working: nfc, GPS, camera, issues with efs & screen shadowing
Can we go one day? Just one day without a thread like this.

Xda is a joke. Daddy had to step in on the other thread and close it down. This community is all about free and open source but the threads aren't they are heavily monitored and if you get out of line the moderators come down with the hammer aka mouse and keyboard. If you don't like someone's post ignore it pretty simple right? I too get mad when I see someone has posted in the root progress thread and it's a clown asking is root has been achieved yet. But I'm a man and can handle a clown here and there you just ignore them. I'm more pissed at the moderator for overreaching his powers.

Even if the app had a delete button I think my post is justified to stay and make its point. The other thread had 1k post more than any other In the note 4 AT&T threads. The only thing closing it does is stifle development even more.

I never wrote a thing in the thread either. I have nothing to contribute to root. Besides a pat on the back and some bounty money. I am on the VRZ Note 4 and patiently waiting for root.

First of all they closed the root thread because of people like you, who expect the world but contribute nothing and don't know how to follow the rules. The mere fact that you posted "xda is a joke" is the most disrespectful, ungrateful behavior I've witness on here. The mods do an amazing job keeping up with all the threads, and for you to disrespect them and xda makes me sick. I hope you, your computer, tablet, and phone catch a virus.

Grand daddy stepping in to chime. It's this type of nonsense that got the thread closed. What's it been? 30 min? Already back to it in a different thread? If there were relevant information to help in that thread, instead of posts like these, it would be open.
Now, grand daddy is going to fall asleep watching Antiques Roadshow with my glasses on. Have a good night, fellas. I suggest if you want to moan and complain about it, take it somewhere else than XDA. Thank you.
