We need the subforum WING MOBILE 6 deleted from the Herald forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=348
Our moderator started a campaign to have it opened and nobody wanted it, so the people revolted.
Here's what our moderator wrote about not posting in that subforum.

I was pleased by many users NOT to use this subforum. SO please do the same.
IT WAS just an idea......
BUT it also was a missunderstanding.....and I asked to delete it again...
SO STOP POSTING here! I moved all back.
And hope ALL are happy....

Personally, in a few of the forums I visit there is a lack of moderation in the Q&A area's of the device forums. I'm asking if it's possible we could have a Q&A Moderator for the devices?
I think this would help improve clarity, more help and better moderation since a Moderator would only have to worry about one specific area.

There is an assigned Q&A moderator (your forum specific mod). You can see their name at the bottom of the forum view.
If there's stuff needing done, drop them a PM or report the posts, as we can't be everywhere at once (though some of us do try for omnipresence )
Here is the link http://tinyurl.com/26yw2s4 to the list to find out who is the forum moderator for the forum concerning you
Just curious but I have sent PMs and emails to XDA moderators and administrators with zero responses. Every time I check the online status for all moderators/administrators almost all are offline.
Questions....
1) What good are moderators if they are never online?? It shouldn't be this hard to get a few questions answered on XDA.
2) Does XDA need more moderators that can be active on the forums? How does one go about applying for this?
Thanks.
XDA has plenty of moderators. There are Forum Specific Moderators in every Device Forum. Additionally there are Senior Moderators. However, Senior Moderators, The Moderator Committee Members and Admins are very busy. They many not be intentionally ignoring you. But Most have lives outside of XDA and are not online all the time. Sometime Mods go away for the weekend or on holiday. I'm sorry about your bad luck for apparently picking those moderators.

I did email an administrator but before that it has been PMs to the forum specific moderators.
Certainly, The Admin gets hundreds of emails a day. So I'm sure he will respond in the order in which It was received.
i have to agree, sometimes it seems we cannot move for moderators, and other times it's like a where's wally book (mostly when you need one) not that i have a problem, just having my 2 cents

Who did you contact and not get a response? Feel free to PM me anytime. I check my messages 100x per day!
let me be frank. this forum is getting bored lately. a lot of new user has turned this forum into their secondary samsung service centre and repeatedly asked same questions. I don't know what other's feeling but I'm getting tired giving them repeated same answer. when I first came here this forum is a lot more nice and fun. the general section have a lot of information and great discussion about android and our sgy, while all question is placed and answered nicely in FAQ thread. but now, all those usefull information is gone. replaced, and covered by those repeated silly question. please note that I'm not saying that we can't ask question in this forum. sure we can ask any question related our sgy development, but please stop asking any troubleshooting question in general section. you can ask those question on FAQ thread anytime, or you can ask any senior member here via PM. you can even PM me, and I'll sure gladly answer if I can help.
well...please forgive me complaining. I just wanna make this forum as fun and nice as possible to all members. I can't do it by myself. I'll need all your help to keep this forum in order. if you're a new member here, please search and read before ask any question. if you're a senior member, please don't answer any troubleshooting which is not placed on FAQ question. they won't stop asking those question if you continue answer those question.
best regards,
kurotsugi

Yeah. Totally. For about half a year that i'm here, totally got bored. @[email protected] I'm finding no improvements at all.
We need a Q and A section. Posting in the same thread will only make us stay put in the 'Legacy and Low Activity' devices section. There need to be threads opening up every few seconds for us to get outta this rejected low activity section and into the main frame. Only then will there be real development of this device.
I'd have to agree, especially to those porting and creating ROMs that are left/unstable and thus calling themselves devs. I think the whole forum needs a spring cleaning, and when a thread starter has already a negative reputation, I guess that's when Iron Fist should be hammered down.

True ... !!
Even for a simple question newbie opens a new thread
U r right kuroshi
IMO FAQ thread is more than enough for this moment. if there is new section to be created, I think sgy duos development should prioritized first.
anyway, thanks for your support guys. I hope more member will join us soon.
A Duos sub-forum inside ours? Thats gotta help in our development. More threads are proportional to more development to me. Hope there'll be QnA and other version of Galaxy Y's sections soon.
I just saw two new threads
1st about rooting n
2nd about bricking galaxy y
Don't want ics for y
I want Kelly bean
imo separated sub-forum or faq thread is not effective. the problem is a lot of new member too lazy to use search button. even if we have Q&A section, if nobody give them an answer because similar question again and again, they will try to find other place to ask. we already have some people asking in dev section just because they want answer from a dev.
i agree with kurotsugi. if you are a senior member, ignore that kind of question. and if necessarily ask mod to close or delete. if questioner is a newbie, give him/her an advice to do search and ask mod to close that thread. that will be strong message : if you lazy, nobody here will help you.

I was going to report to senior mods but in my phone mode I can't copy threads links it gives me error
And I don't have a PC or laptpp
Can anyone give me link of xda app v2.0.0 so I can report to mods faster
And as I m biggest noob in this field i want to know wat r infractions
Don't want ics for y
I want Kelly bean
yeah.. i have even almost stopped checking the general section.. only check out the development section.
if we assume that all member here are read all the rules and search-read-try before ask any question, FAQ thread or even QA section is not needed. nevertheless, the reality is slightly different. let say, only those the 'more educated' one will do as we assume above. the other new members are usually never read the rules or even use search before post anything. in that case, we still need a FAQ thread to localize those question.
btw, I don't wanna see any harsh things here. not all of us are real devs, most of us here are still considered as newbie (including myself) who want to learn more about android stuff. personally I believe that this forum is not intended only for devs. this is a forum to share, learn, and improve all stuff about android. if you found new member posted those 'junk' question again, just kindly told him to post the question on FAQ thread, or if you don't have time to do that you can simply just ignore it.
Newbies should be responsible to read these 3 most important things
Read And Follow The Rules
Read Before PostingCommon Questions Should Be In FAQ

I made our forum little bit clean by pm'ing threads link to mods
My special thanks to everyone in this thread
Keep our forum clean
To keep the section clean, I think admins should:
Close the thread and delete it. If not possible to delete, then we should have a trash bin for those threads.
Also, I agree to have a Q and A section. We all know that almost all of us haven't even seen the FAQ's - count me in.
BTW, I have viewed XDA wiki when I started here.
Can we please keep posts to helping answer questions.
If you dont have a positive possible solution, don't respond within the thread.
Let's keep the forum to what its meant to be.
No Trolling. No Arguing. No Accusations.
Fairly sure we already have a Q&A forum..... and we're already in it
And fairly sure those points are already in the XDA Rules, if you have a problem with someone, hit report and let a mod deal with it, no-one likes a member trying to police other members as if they were staff

Just making this thread to begin with was pointless, and only creates unnecessary clutter in the forum.
Thread closed!
As has been already been mentioned, XDA rules encompass what is expected of it's members. If you see something inappropriate, report it plain and simple, and a member of our ever diligent Moderator Staff will handle it. Thank you for your cooperation, and have a good day.
