Just wondering really? they keep getting locked for off-topic, when general is a pretty wide topic... i would think anything pertaining to the epic that isnt a question or a development, should go there... maybe im wrong??
Exactly... moderators really need to do a MUCH better job at communication. I have sent PM's and do not get responses, so please explain moderators.
they only communicate by banning and closing threads.. theimpaler was one of the few mods here that could communicate... the rest put this place on auto pilot and ban/mod without reading or communicating and half the time without thinking...
Thank you
Thanks Chris for speaking up for the new people around. Means a lot

I am wondering this as well and I was also wondering why threads that bash our developers are kept open long enough for people to pop in and take pot shots.

Agreed, seems as if they get amusement from watching us bicker but once something actually important gets posted they're on it like flies on ****.

Hopefully the mods get this under control because we are losing some of our kindest and most helpful devs. Also, what the flamers fail to realize is they are only hurting the rest of the community because a lot of the developers, themers, and testers are just choosing to communicate via G-Talk anyway. Its truly sad that developers spend hours, days, and weeks of their free time, often working all night long to provide their great projects, and they seem to get less respect than someone who spreads nothing but negativity and provides no help whatsoever.

It is just a way to protect the Development section from bull**** posts like this. Just participate in Q&A or post in General in the Rumor thread. You can get 10 posts in 10 minutes there.

Unfortunately, it's because of posts like this that this rule was put in place.
I shudder to think what useless crap you wish to flood the Development section with.

It can be frustrating for those who generally browse and only post after not finding the right question answer combo. But, that is not the norm.

That is what Q&A section is for. Then after getting the question answered the user gains knowledge they can pass on. The 10 posts are easily reached that way.

I'm in the same boat. I use and test a bunch of different roms, but can never report my bugs or ask ROM specific questions in the dev threads. Usually I can find my answer by searching, but that's not always the case. I guess I'm more of a watcher than an active participant at this point.

Just post a legitimate question in Q&A and respond with thank you's and what is the best way to do that's and you will hit 10 posts in less than a day. And then you are good to go. People using the ROMs that have answers read Q&A too.

Like all things new people have to suffer for past people abusing or screwing something up. It is a protection from Spammers and people just popping on, saying something stupid and they're gone. It is only for the development section where posts should be more professional and intelligent. 10 posts are nothing. But it is a small safety. Perhaps if the OP was worded more professionally the flaming would not have started.

If you've been reading the threads (which I'm sure you have), you'll find the Epic community is the most helpful, most welcoming one around. Trust me, I work on the Evo 4G as well and the Epic boards are much more tight-knit.
Having said that- did you get the answer to the MIUI issue? Sounds like it was just a bad download...

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

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

Maybe we need a general goodbye and welcome thread.

Yeah I think I was one of the first to post a good buy thread, but if you haven't noticed, all these threads labeled 'goodbye' are apparently being locked.
XDA is becoming big brother in censoring posts. First it's with goodbye threads, then it's with thanking our troops on Veterans day. What's next?
I wouldn't give this thread more then an hour or two before a moderator locks it as well. Apparently it appears to be a sign of the times.

I'm fine with the Goodbye threads being locked. A general welcome/goodbye thread is probably the best solution.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of goodbye threads. I think it's kind of a kick to the teeth to the people that still have the phone, even if that's not the intent. Plus, it clutters up the General forum.
Locking a thread supporting our troops shows that this moderater has no respect for his own family or friends that faught fornhis freedoms to be on XDA. Before anyone starts the nerd crap about the rules know that I dont care because the onley thing I care about right now is the men and woman who are in uniform or have been there that come to this site daily and make XDA a buck and I hope and really hope they delete my account I will not be back. Jay the one who locked the thread needs to be dropped in the middle of the war zone a few times. Suck my balls **** stick!

It wasn't the mod's fault. Someone previously posted a comment that completely ruined any kind aspect the OP was trying to display towards veterans (Of all nations) to the extent that the moderated was forced to close the thread (He himself had posted thanks previously too)
Did you read the thread linked?

XDA is not a forum about the USA Military, It's about smart phone/tablet development. If you post off topic, your thread will most likely get closed.
I reported your completely disrespectful post about a moderator who has done a pretty fine job of keeping this place clean.
Jay is definitely an XDA veteran that I appreciate. :laugh:

Maybe if you guys would actually READ the thread and see instead of "OMG they locked a Vet thank you thread!!1!1 Let's rebel against XDA!!1!" You will see what happened. If you have any other further questions or attitudes I suggest you talk to me in pm.
And yes, this thread is closed also.
1. I made it so that it should show a bar that would let me change the brightness on the notifications tab. The thing you pull down with the time and your on/off toggles. (I have it turned on but it won't show anymore, I turning it off and rebooting and turning it on but it still won't show.)
2. Apps randomly crashing and it saying "Messenger has stopped working" or whatever.
And videos take forever to load, and sometimes when skipping it says "Gallery has stopped working", before I used LiquidSmooth the battery drained because of the Samsung stuff but now the battery is the same or a bit better but I have problems I didn't have before?
You'd get more help in the thread itself then opening a new one here..

PM the dev. Whining because you broke something in the Q&A forum is considered bad manners. Telling experienced users they do not know the rules is also frowned upon.
Try a different rom if the one you are using does not work for your needs. This is not a difficult concept. The are several flawless roms out there. Anything the deviant team (DJ or Evil) has out works great.
Reflash rom dont forget to wipe.. also fix permissions so :
Wipe
Flash rom
Fix permissions..
