[Request] Change title when problems resolved.

If your questions have been answered, problems solved, can the OP please change the title to or something like that?
It would make it easier on folks like me who dont mind answering questions and who want to help but dont want to filter through threads to find out whats still out there.
A fun little ticket system.

So how will you change the title of this thread if people start doing it?
Paradox much?

What happened to Magnus's cm7 thread?!

the thread to his rom was closed and was replaced by a forum rule page...? anyone? This rom is great!

Politics.

Try looking at the forum rule it's linked to...

Still don't answer our question specially

There are no threads on why it was closed. anyone?

As with most threads that are locked/moved/deleted -- it was obviously in violation of XDA rules. I know for a fact that toastcfh doesn't just go around locking/closing threads for the hell of it. The man has a lot of other things going on.

I would like to know also. I mean, it was a great rom. I wake up, being the flashaholic that I am, to see if there is an update, and I got the Admin message. I thought I clicked on the wrong link! Went back, clicked again...what happened overnight? I read every page before and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It would make more sense to at least mention what happened so that we don't HAVE to open another thread looking for answers. Also, by saying, in general what the problem was, it might prevent it from happening again. Just saying......

[q] the unspoken of rooting method

What was wrong with bonsai masterkee unlock? Sorry if threads on this topic are against the rules (i thought only links were), so I am sorry if I broke the rules, if so a mod may delete this thread but I just want an explaination.
Did the news get around about a guy named butcher pete?

Idk but why go to another method when one-click is simple and fast

Idk, idc, idgaf, im just wondering.

Currently the advantage of using their tool for me anyways is that I think their Recovery is > cwm 3.0.2.5 . In future updates this tool will install ROM's and will work on multiple devices is what i heard.

This probably best as a discussion in the General thread. It seems a little more lenient as long as links to a site that is free and only requires a registration to download is forbidden unless you are Android Central which also requires registration to download. But that must be different ??????

links to android central downloads are against the rules also... but discussing bonsai stuff is not. there are a few threads here. but announcing their releases here will usually get locked, since you cant link them, and they dont support them here. I havent used the unlocks yet, i downloaded them to take a look but havent had a chance, but when gingerbread comes they will have to make changes anyway.

Thanks Chris for the explanation. I guess the Android Central links are not as controversial as the Bonsai so don't get the same publicity when they are removed. Thanks again.

No Bonsai links Allowed

I know that XDA does not allow bonsaigeek links due to the fact that Bonsai requires you to register at their site to get thair code. XDA views this as against the liberties granted through the GPL license.
I do not think they allow Bonsai announcements either.
The latest posters who were shutdown were flamers, extremely critical of XDA and their policies. If you do not like XDA policies, do not sign up & post.
They should not sign up, accept the policies, and then flame XDA, basically asking for a ban.
That's my opinion anyway, FWIW.

Not so much a question or an answer...

So, I get updates from XDA via facebook and twitter, which is nice! The most recent one was about the iheartradio 3.0.3 app. There was a small thread and a link to the .apk for the app. Someone else had mentioned that they couldn't find the app in the market. So I went to the market on my PC36100 and I couldn't find it either. And then I remembered that the android market was now categorizing apps "not compatible" with particular devices. So, I went to the market via the web and there it was: iheartradio 3.0.3 - Not Compatible with my device! So, I went to the XDA thread to leave a little note about what I had found. WRONG! Because I have not posted 10 (threads, posts, replies?) I could not post to that particular "development thread". It's not a development thread, its an app notice, but I digress. I understand why XDA implemented this 10 post minimum, but it is a kind of a bummer. I don't post much on XDA because my knowledge of android is plebeian at best and the 10 post minimum doesn't help. I understand members, mods and devs are probably pretty tired of the vague, redundant and repetitive questions of the etiquette uninitiated and digitally uneducated masses... I'm just saying! [/RANT]

On the bright side, posting this increased your post count, and as of right now looks like you've broken the 10 post barrier. So, hooray, issue resolved!

i think the dev section is for roms only. u woulda got flamed bad. u coulda posted in the themes and apps section cuz u r talkin about an app

Suggestion to reduce spam questions :)

Hi
I see some nice work has been done to reduce spam posts
I just wanted to put an idea out there to try and reduce spam within a post.
How about having a question repository in the thread when every question asked is collected and put in order for the dev to answer. The q and a's are then posted just as a sticky at the top of the thread.
I know the basic problem is people refusing to read but if it is easily available and right there it might reduce most of it.
Anymore ideas?

Huh?
Im sorry i dont quite get what u meant.

Why the ad.fly is spam?

ad.fly is a pay per click link service which is not allowed (as are all pay per click services) here on XDA.
It's in the forum rules.
Which you should have read when you registered
@ The OP.
The prevention of unessential posts is something that are always looking at and while your idea is a nice one, this would require someone to keep on top of all the questions and compile them into order etc etc...
Unless someone volunteers to do that in a particular thread, which does happen occasionaly, this isnt possible.
Rest assured though, the great thinkers of XDA are always looking for new ways to cut down on the spam postings

I have been an admin/owner and also a moderator on my own and other forums and I'm afraid that spammers and their posts will always be a problem no matter what systems are in place. The only sure fire way to stop them is by using our eyes and sadly time to find the spam posts and report them (there is a thread for this ) so that they can be removed.
