i think you must moderate the tone of your voice, and go down from your pedestal.
The guy started a thread, in the wrong way, i've done the same mistake time ago.
I think is not the case to attack in this way the guy.
If his thread don't like you IGNORE THAT. And moderators will do the job.
Not you.
IF A THREAD DON'T LIKE YOU IGNORE IT!!
And everything goes forward.
Ehm sorry for my english..

thye have done there job
thread closed

done the job yes, but after a multiple attack to the guy who made a mistake.
we all made mistake..

[Q] Where are the moderators?

It seems like the forums have gone to complete hell lately with flames junk topics like "lol, socks" and "omfg 2.2 root!!???".
Is xda-devs short of moderators to lock and delete crap topics and flames? I thought the forum rules spoke against this.

Hey, great thread...
2.5 MILLION members
100 or so moderators
Care to calculate the member to moderator ratio?
Maybe you could start a new thread with the answer..

You were being facetious I assume. I'd be more than willing to do that math, but since you were able to find letters on a keyboard I assume you also can do it
P.S. I came in when I saw "lol, socks" in the preview. I still don't get it.

It would be more accurate to calculate the # of forums/moderator ratio.
I'm interested in any alternative suggestions you might have. If you care to look at the threads, it's only a relatively small handful of trolls and junk topic creators.

My point is threads like this do nothing to help the situation.
We had a day long "town hall" meeting several months ago where the mods and users came together to discuss ways of improving things.
If you think a thread is junk or is in the wrong forum USE THE REPORT BUTTON
The mods don't have time to read every single thread and determine if it is legit or a waste of space. They asked us members for our help and said the best thing we can do to help is use the report button as it is intended.
Not to mention that with all the bullcrap threads that get started every day you are going to complain about the mods???
If you are going to complain about anyone it should be about the jerks that come in here with tunnel vision on the "New Thread" button and start new threads without reading ANYTHING
Is it an inconvenience? Does it clutter the forum in a HUGE way?
Yes and Yes, but complaining about the moderation is the wrong perspective.
Reminder: The mods here are V O L O U N T E E R S ! ! ! Help them out, go on a bullcrap thread reporting frenzy.

Having a great day, I just dont understand why you complain about the mods regarding a problem that you are contributing to with this very thread.
Take your own advice:

Alternative to thread-making altogether, just send them a personal message to get your issue resolved.

I'm not sure that I did. Is there a way to see a version history?

im right here, everyday and night. i would suggest reporting posts that are in violation of forum rules. i do my best to read as many threads i can and at least drop in and check out the conversations taking place. that said i cant read every post in every forum. the solution to this isnt to start a thread in the spirit of complaining about things not going the way u want them to. the solution would be to take action and report the posts that are out of line. this is a community and every member of the community can report people. at the second a post is reported most likely a moderator will handle the situation.
so please instead of complaining. do something to help out. contribute something to the community. dont add to the problem by flaming back or starting threads to complain about it.
that said... this thread is closed and ill leave my answer for everyone to see. i alone cant see everything. but we all together can bring those who are here for the wrong reason to light, so they can be dealt with.
PS this was posted in the wrong section. Questions need to be posted in Q&A. hence the title of the subforum(Q&A)

what does a kernel actually do for your phone?

I see people using different kernels with different roms. Why so many kernels and whats their use?

Kernels basically run the back end of your phone. A lot of people make different/ update the kernels because they find a different way to improve battery life and make the phone run smoother and faster. Also, SBC kernels implement trickle charging which makes it so your phone is at or near a 100% when you take it off the charger

This question belongs in the Q&A section, not in the development section.

it posts in the correct section for starters....or does some research as this question has been asked a million times already

Looks like XDA needs to make a 20 post min now.

This is going to by my new trademark...
ROM Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Oh, and please post your new kernel that you must be developing. I must have missed that somewhere in the OP.

Instead you get "**** OFF FNG!!!!" Good reason to stay apart of XDA huh. But of course everyone is a hard ass on the internet, duh.

Wow, you got us. To stick with your lunch table metaphor, imagine this subforum as a lunch table in a cafeteria. You and your friends are enjoying a nice conversation when out of nowhere 500 people run to your table and start vomiting all over it.
This subforum is set up so that they don't need to sticky legitimate development threads. Instead, they created other subforums for questions like these.
Yeah, it looks kind of bad when ten people run in going "wrong forum! wrong forum!," but they're trying to help in whatever way they can since this forum doesn't have a downvoting system.

Your skill in 'White Knight' increases by 0.3.

One more reason people dont come to XDA anymore..... good job the the seasoned "grumps" who at one point asked questions as well. You guys have forgotten what the forums are all about and why your here.... FAIL.

Rule number 1
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

agreed.. way to contribute to xda.. bash new users who will probably never come back, job well done.
there's ALWAYS new thread's by someone that doesnt search, whether new to forums in general or just didnt take the time to search.. steer them in the right direction rather than away from the forums...

well if he had to ask what a kernel is and what it does then at least we know if he doesn't come back the Development section won't be losing a great asset lol

This is my theory... maybe this will scare and annoy people enough that they will actually think twice and possibly search before posting in the wrong section. They should be scared to come in here and start a thread about a non-development topic.

If it were one person, people probably wouldn't jump all over you, but its multiple threads daily, so people are a little less patient.

Banning people/devs from XDA

Hey guys,
I want say something, because there is a thing which is really unfair. The Dev Razor, who did some great work like getting to work touchwiz and lg launcher on our phone get banned from XDA ....He created a placeholder thread for his rom, which he wanted to upload but because there is a rule that we cant make placeholder-threads he get banned and lefted XDA .....that was really unfair because there are people out who are making some worse things like offering other people or something like that and they DON'T get banned. I mean why ...why not first a warning and if ignoring then banning....
thats for the mods also and a discussion thread so dont offend me or so i'm only a "friend" and wanted to talk with you about that..
Mods pls think about that and un-ban pls razor ....he is also kaing good work

Hi I need help

Hello every one my name is casper846969 who do I talk to am looking for the higher guy that control all this like what I post I am from the droid x2 forms and the op took my post down I did not brake ruls and it was in the right place it was in theams well he lock my post and I am have a issue about it because I think that was rude of him when I did not brake any rules. So qho do I go to about this

Why don't you send him a kind pm to ask the reasons?
Edit: Are you talking about this thread? eagleeyetom already explained in his post why it have been closed.

All I can say is................wow

OP I was part of the Droid X2 community too. To summarize the events that took place over the past few weeks: The mods in their infinite wisdom decided our thread offered nothing to the community. Even though some of our posts were helpful to others and informative regarding android and other technology the fun we had was looked down on. This site is for the developers and those of us who do not create roms,kernels or themes but can answer questions are worth little to nothing. Unfortunate turn of events but there's nothing we can do about it....the decision has been made.

Let me clear up this "stupidity." The rules do not apply to everyone the same. If you had alot more inappropriate content and alot more "thanks" given in your thread, you would have been ok. But since you offered nothing to the community but some wasted space on the forum, your thread must and will continue to be closed. Sorry about your luck.

Look bottom line is threads like that have no real purpose. Now you may or may not like it but that is the way it goes.
Making a thread to complain about it will not do you much good.
