Looking two threads under yours and seeing the same topic must have been difficult
no more unlocking phones
Please search before opening new threads on existing topics.

Hi all!
I'm reading and helping in the i9000-Q&A-area and there always threads like "Which ROM?", "Galaxy bricked, pls help",... Most of the problems could be solved before posting with using the search.
So my idea:
We need people who close threads and moderate this part of the forum. They close and in their final post in the thread they post some (three or four) links to already existing threads and tell the users to post in the older thread.
Additionally there are collective threads with titles like 'Samsung Galaxy S i9000 - Which ROM', 'Samsung Galaxy S - I'm looking for an app which...' and such things. In a german forum we have a huge thread calles 'Samsung Galaxy S - Short question-short answer' so that there isn't an extra thread for every short question -> good idea and works very well.
If you like my idea this could be done in every Q&A-forum of every phone model (and in every tablet-forum too ). So please tell me what you think about!

Didn't see that thread before, thank you!

Can we have just a mod section? I know most of you will probably say just use search. I got it, I'm a bigger supporter of dumb question being searched before being asked, but I think it would be less clutter in the themes and app section and keep development to ROMS, kernels, and modems. Magee things a little simpler when looking for mods. Plus when I use search using my xda app it search all topics. Just a thought.

This is not the place to ask this.
You would be better off asking in the "about XDAdevelopers" forum and look for the thread titled "requests from users to admin and mods" (or something like that)
Since that is the correct place...you may even get a response from said mods or admins....who knows...they may even implement your request...

I appreciate, I guess I should have been more thorough. I just figured I could ask it in q&a.

Just refer to stickies and go make your own profile and have at it. Peoples reputation follow them here on this site, so this whole screen name is gone to a bad wrap. Make a new name read and then lost after reading if you have questions.

OP please refer the stickys to find what you are looking for...should be an easy search, stickys are located at the top of the threads. Thanks.

No one is trying to be an internet tough guy, it's just rude and disrespectful and ignorant on your part, to think you are special to have your own thread. Why do you need your own thread? A mod went through 7 threads to lock them down and point people into one thread so that way it is easier on them, only for you to make a whole new thread... This is a Forum for phones and developing with a set of rules, not a social forum.

Congrats on becoming a mod when did that happen ? I didnt no they locked up those threads I just new there was controversy about it. They must of got locked recently cause I was unaware and I check these forums almost everday. Maybe I skipped a day. No need to come off the way u did there is no denying that u was being rude and an internet tougj guy . I always see u in these forums and read your threads I just didnt no u was such a dousche. No need to "report" it also they are moderators for a reason they dont need u to run to them with every lil thing

yeah, but that one thread has also been locked. i don't think he was being rude or disrespectful. yeah he should have searched first but come on
if it's in the general section, why can't we discuss it? why is this topic so taboo? i understand not needing a thousand threads on the same subject and getting people to search first...i know its not a social forum (it is, but that's a matter of semantics) but this IS the General section which is defined as "Discussion about the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III (general chat, tips & tricks, etc)". would a discussion about LTE not fall into this category?

You just read that way, I convey no emotion in these threads usually. I may come off as a "douche" and I apologize, but it is what it is and you are making a thread even though you knew there were plenty prior. Maybe you're just sensitive, I don't know but I wasn't trying to be a jerk or anything, this is a forum for phones, again not a social club. I'm not a mod and glad I'm not cause they have sooo much to do, I have to up keep my own stuff for the users. I report cause they ask us to, they prefer that then having so many threads open on one subject. They also don't scour the threads like some of us users, so they probably wouldn't see this. I was appointed an RC for many reasons, and one of them being I follow rules, and help them and the users. I don't not follow the rules intentionally though. Like I said, I asked if they could lock 8 threads and I provided links to all of them so that'd be easier for them. I got a thanks and that they have been meaning to do so for a while. They made a sticky on not to make any more threads about it and you persisted to do so. Just letting you know, that's it.
The mod must have accidentally locked that thread as well. Not my doing, when they come to lock that one he will read and unlock that thread I'm sure. The topic is just a beaten horse with the same stuff brought up over and over. Just read that 5 page thread and see how far people have come on making one person understand, or better yet, read the 7 that I linked and tell me if you have a better understanding on the matter at hand. I won't sit there and read through them all, I would prefer they all be on one thread and that the OP that made the thread update the 1st post with all the links that provide good info. But that would be my way of handling the matter.
Please continue speculation in the sticky thread
What is the big difference between the roms contained in these 2 sections? Sorry for being a noob i just dont understand why there are 2 sections. Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development and the Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Development
The roms in the original development section are built from source.
More aosp (less touchwiz).

If im not mistaken I believe you being nonconstructive and this type of behavior is cancerous to forums.
Thanks Android_Monsters for the quick response.
No, I am just kindly stating if you had taken 5 minutes to read through prior posts instead of cluttering the forum with duplicate questions you would have seen the same member who answered your post had answered this question for someone already

I agree. You can usually find your answer a lot quicker on Google than posting a duplicate thread and hoping someone replies. You also avoid people like abcdefg pointing out the obvious.
Learn to use search. You will be glad you did trust me

Or you could just not complain, stop worrying about board clutter, and give an answer to someone who feels the necessity to ask questions that have been asked so many times it makes people want to gouge their eyeballs out with a soldering iron every time they see them. /sarcasm

People get so butt hurt when you call them out for not even trying to search... Apparently, those of us who would like to have fewer garbage topics asking the same thing are the moderators pets or something.. Eflip88 might remember that from a few days ago
No, the reason people get annoyed about a thousand different threads on the same topic couldn't be because it just makes it that much harder for people who actually WANT to do the legwork and use the search bar.. That couldn't be it...
