Develop Bugs

"1st posts"

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.

This website is the best of internet for mobiles.
The work and support of the users of XDA is incredible.
Thank's!

Good thing to hear that you're enjoying the site.

XDA is the best mobile support website forever.

XDA is indeed a great site
It's one of those few sites that makes me look forward to things.
I've been on XDA so much these last days when there is new JB releases here and there for the S3. Great fun.

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

Because topics like that usually descend into an argument and ultimately it's only you who can answer your own question. Which one better suits your needs is something for you to research and decide for yourself.

[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.

I just got word that all development for this device has ceased. I'm jumping ship now and moving back to my HTC Hero, as it's the best phone out besides this. Plus, Donut was the best of the OS versions. Please take heed to my word, and I'll see you all on PPCGeeks.
J/K..... Read more forums.

For your information, almost all questions in this Sections are just Dumb, so basically spams. Plus, I only did this once(this thread) so it cannot be considered a spam. And now I have permission to post in the Developer section :] and just so you know, I've been on xda for a long time, but never registered, so I know the rules much better than you do I really needed to ask some devs questions, so I HAD to spam. Well, sorry

well I think that's quite clever:silly:

AW: Need enough posts to reply to the dev section?
This 10-post-rule is quite boring as I don't think developers read the threads there...
And as you say, most of the questions could be googled...

Well, if you haven't realised it yet, what you call dumb questions are serious Q's for some people... What if I knew all about quantum physics, and you asked me a question, and I called you dumb?

10 helpful posts are not that hard to come by. There will always be someone out there that needs help and maybe, just maybe, YOU could give them the key they have been missing.
