Where are rules and all admins? (HTC General forum)

No really. What a messy forum there... 30% totally spam topics, and lot's of duplicated questions everywhere.
Where are clear FAQs, Sticky notes, Info and news in a beggining of HTC General forum?
No admins or moderators there?
Especially HTC Hero General.

Good point but you can not blame the Mods or Admin they do a great job on this site and there are lots of members that do not Abide by the RULES do not bother reading back posts and just post a problem that has been posted before, every day i tell people to read back posts before they post a new problem but it falls on Deaf ears

You didnt get the idea. I didn't blame any admin. I think they have enough things to do. I am just wondering, where are warning, bans, etc.
Maybe we need some, 3 warning and ban for a week? If someone was helpfull, i could give him +1 point, if not -1. System like that.
And there is not enough FAQs, News, Notes in start of forums.
Also maybe there is not enough of admins?

Its a a vary hard system to Police when you go down the warning side of things and points i have seen it split up a forum before as the ban was not agreed with by the members and they boycotted the forum because of it not saying thats the same in every case.
And every body knows there is Rules they just choose to not comply like i said they don't even read what was written in the last hr so theres no hope for the rules.They have a device with a chosen ROM and stick to that thread but there is a lot more to XDA than that

We're working on appointing forum-specific mods for each and every forum, as per the moderation system you may have read about. It's a big job, as you could imagine, but we're making good progress.
In the mean time, please feel free to PM me directly with any occurrence of spam, etc. =D

And of course, you're able to use the "report" button on a post to notify a moderator about spam or whatever you feel should be reported.

Sticky Notes

you do know you just bumped a 3 year old thread?
There only sticky threads.. If you hover over some options.. you can get brief details about it which you can call sticky notes I guess as it always pops up..

Nice near 3 year bump.
But with the question answered, thread closed.

Would this help any dev or no?

So i have an evo that i am sending back because i got my replacement.. So i dont care if it gets unrooted in the process...
According to this: http://support.sprint.com/support/a...e-wh164052-20100527-115429?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIA
I should be able to manually update my phone to froyo....
If someone could walk me through how to get the image and files off the phone and post i would be more than happy too (if that would help anyone.. i just dont know)
Let me know!

yeah it would help but i dont think its available yet been trying to download all day no luck...

How is this the wrong forum? He's asking the developers if his downloading Froyo, extracting it, and sending it to them would be a help to their development of Froyo-based ROMs.

Ha!
I swear to God 80% of all posts on XDA are people replying to other people, telling them they are posting on the wrong forum (without even telling them where they 'should' be posting) Very Hilarious but also far far more annoying then the supposed misplaced post itself. p.s. please reply to this telling me I'm posting in the wrong forum, it will make my day.

Welcome to XDA. Please notice the nice place set up for questions like this, conveniently labeled "Q/A." See all the question marks there? It's for questions, just like this! The devs read that forum too! Now take a look around this subforum. Notice threads with content, downloads, changelogs - in essence, development.
I hope this was helpful. Have a great day!

Thank you!

Haha. I bet if op posts this is q&a they will say its the wrong forum. I have seen that a couple times. Man how this place has changed in the past couple years

Hey, it's ok. Half of the members finally started going through puberty, and their formerly carefree tween personalities have been beset by emotional volatility and hormonal fluctuations. Most of them are probably confused, wondering what those hairs are for.

5 posts of "Wrong Forum". You're just as cancerous as the threads that you post in.
to OP, Thank you for willing and waiting with the rest of us and yes if you do get your hands on that OTA it will help tremendously. Do post here if you get it.

Really?
Ok first drumdude are you a moderator? Have you done any development ever? Do you post anything other then nasty remarks? If I were a moderator I would ban hammer you not the person offering to help.
Seriously people just because you have anonymity behind your user name doesn't give you the right to be rude. Stop jumping on a post and yelling at the poster, if the moderators have a problem they will move the post you are not the police and all you are doing in potentially scaring off help!!! Which correct me if I'm wrong a development forum is DEPENDENT on.
I for one have been taken aback and offended by some of the blatant rudeness on this forum.
We never know who is new or who is posting something. What if a HTC dev was posting a question with the intent to leak info to us and you blasted him like this? Do you think he would want to help after that? Or what if someone who was posting a question also happened to be at HTC legal and got pissed enough to force all our nice developers to stop using anything HTC with a cease order (which they can legally do whenever they want) all because of some rude poster.
Please people be responsible and think before you speak the world and this forum will be better for it.

You might want to step back and take a deep breath or two (jeez probably three.)
You're not a mod either, so how about you calm down and go outside or something?

Check to see if the PRI updates from 1.34_003 to another one.

Introducing Forum Specific Mod

Hi everybody,
Let me introduce myself. I'm M_T_M , your new forum mod for the HTC Desire HD.
I've been on xda-developers for over a year now. Mostly visiting the devices I own and supporting other forums with the experince I've gathered on this great site. Maybe some of you have seen me lately in the forums helping a little.
Now, I'm happy and honored to be appointed to the HTC Desire HD forums to provide mod assistance to all of you in the best way I can to this great community.
I'm here to help you and I expect the same from all of you .
If you experience any other way of approach from members, feel free to contact me through PM, or report the post by using the "!" button in the post.
Additionally, I want to let you know that I'll be doing some forum maintenance (cleaning threads addressing an already discussed topic or an off topic, moving threads or posts to proper sections) for making it easier to all of you get the information you are seeking and keeping the forum clean.
Cheers

Haha Congrats M_T_M Will you be spending less time in O.topic now then

Appears a fair few got moved into the wrong location, en masse.
I managed to get a copy of the logs of what got moved, and am returning them just now

can we have a question and answer sub-forum like the standard desire please? the general forum is getting cluttered with FAQ's.

I'll ask Mike or Svetius. Till then, please bare with us.

People posting in the wrong forum

why in the hell is it so hard to put a question in the Q&A forum instead of the development forum? i don't get it. wtf is the deal with some of you people?

Not only that, but questions that can be easily answered with a simple search.

i believe this should be in general

Maybe we should all dedicate at least a week to intensely answering questions here and ignoring them in the dev section. perhaps people would get it. or maybe punish them for posting in the wrong forum (i know some forums have a probation setting so you don't have to ban them, they just can't post for a certain amount of time or something)

Most people posting in the wrong section are here for quick answers and prob dont read the site too much. You won't change anything, there are hordes of them.

Morph, this is a forum. This is where everyone anonymously shows how less awesome they are than you. Each post should increase your awesomeness.

It's hard to deal with but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. lol
Oh and as long as there are new people who don't read the rules we will always have this problem. Sounds like the probation suggestion might be a way to battle this problem.

Honestly, just no one should answer any questions that are created in the Dev section. The only thing that should be posted if one is made is that it is not in the correct forum. People always complain that "people are so mean", thats not the case. It's about reading the rules and using common sense.
You post a QUESTION in the Q&A section, no one can be "mean" about you posting it there, thats why we have a Q&A forum... for questions that need answers.

[Suggestion]Open a '[FAQ]Runnymede ports thread' ffs

Nice. Now I see suggested threads popping all over the place as I type this. I find it very indicative.
Oxygen tips&tricks is inactive as most users go rather to their forums. I mean, c'mon, 14 runnymede threads on the first two pages of Q&A (and counting) looks ridiculous and makes all of us look silly. Release Oxygen and place this instead when apparently dedicated rom threads are not enough for some people.
What do reputable members think about this?

Define reputable members.
Also, I count 4 threads on the front page.

You defined yourself. Read again.

Right.
So, people post a question on the development forum, and the usual suspects jump at them for doing that (understandably so). THEN, they post the same question on the Q&A forum, and you jump at them again?
Get a life and be more polite in the future. No one is forcing you to answer to their threads.

What level of politeness you expect? You come barging in, you do what is called selective reading and completely irrelevant to the topic at hand as you have done it before, and now I turn impolite?
So, let me make a summary of what you wrote - someone opens a thread in development section where the only thing someone developed is brain hemorrhaging, they get bashed (understandably so), mods intervene and move it to where it belongs (I concur), while at the same time that very rom has it's own dedicated thread for the inquiries like that?

Actually I won't jump on them but I agree. They're all about the same thing so the ops should be tagging on to the end of the thread. That's just forum etiquette really
