Is there a way to ignore users permantley from my thread display? People that just say 'thanks!' or 'wow this is awesum!!', 'donation sent!'. Trying to bring up the S/N ratio would be useful.
Anyway to do this yet?
I think the Signal to Noise ratio is fine most of the time, and as a new member of the forum I'm sure you will soon find that the posts with low signal are usually in response to a thread with low substance.
There's an ignore list here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist
netmasta10bt:
There is no "your" thread.
STOP LURKING!
DaveShaw:
No he ment if he can disable useless posts in ROM threads.
Wow great donation sent, cheers man , this is awsome.......
as above, stop lurking
i find this thread funny, eventually one day hes gonna end up saying "donating thanks man!"
gah people these days just cant deal with it and just move on
Hi,
even though I dont want to whine, I have to admit that a thanks/donation sent system would make threads shorter.
Seeing a 50 page thread, is um, demotivating
There is one already, just rate the thread 5 stars.
Well why not, if user says thanks, thread gets automatically 5 star yay!
WOW! Thanks! This is just Awesome! Donation [email protected]@@
hahahaha i can see myself using the "godmode hack" puttin all the mods and admins on that list
Hey, this is a great thread! Wow, thanks man!
Sooo....I got the 4S and feel like a took a step backwards. I know....I should have heeded people warnings. But I didn't. My question is this, is The Epic 4g Touch better than the 3d? Opinions are what counts. Honest opinions.
Just in case anyone feels the need, I have on my nomex, flame retardant underwear.
I came from an HTC Evo and I'm very happy with this phone. The phone is buttery smooth and feels complete. The screen on the ET is better than the 3D and I hear people get headaches when looking at 3D on the phone.
I believe the development community is better on HTC devices but that all can change when ICS comes around.
I noticed some members from the EVO thread on XDA around here.
I love this phone.
Thanks for the reply. I just know I'm not happy. I feel like I'm stuck in the mud. It seems too that the reception isn't all that good with this iPhone and I can't force it to roam. Therefore....my battery dies off really fast. Annoying!!
I have owned on sprint, HTC Evo, Evo 3d Photon and the Epic 4G touch now. The Touch is by far the best android phone on sprint. You will NOT look back. Also I'm looking to trade my Epic 4G Touch for Iphone 4s. I'm wanting to go to att and my wife wants a iphone. Let me know if you want to trade. Epic 4G touch is brand new and has screen protector on it.
well, lets make that 466,000 threads about epic vs ip4s 466,001.
Come on guys. Not trying to flame but there are at least half a dozen threads open about the same thing. Please search before posting to keep the forum uncluttered.

I am one of the former Evo owners and honestly I would recommend this phone. Fast smooth bright colors easily rootable and few nice themes and tricks. Also very light and nice size screen

Did you really NOT read the OP at all cause this thread has nothing to do with Epic vs ip4s.

your right i digress, add it to the 1.5 million et4g vs evo 3d threads in the general and q&a section. same principal, a quick search would have unveiled at least 10 threads of the same thing.
not trying to be a douche or troll but seeing the same threads over and over and over gets sort of annoying. Searching before posting is general forum etiquette and for us that have been on this board as well as others for a while, its annoying.

I think you just like to be an ass so you like to come into forums and complain, if it doesn't interest you move on to another thread. Remember I'm not the one with the OP i just think you are wasting peoples times and go take a hike.
I've had the E4GT since launch. I do not have one single negative thing to say about this phone. It is a fantastic device. Get one and never look back, well, at least for 2 years......
I used to have a Samsung Moment that I had rooted and installed a custom ROM, but it was time for me to upgrade. Well past the time. So, since my wife had needed a phone as well, we both had gotten an iPhone 4S. She loves it, but I missed Android. I ended up returning it and got the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4g Touch and it's like I am back where I belong.
The phone installs apps in no time. It has a great screen as well as having top of the line internal components. That, and it has Android. I do not like the UI it currently has, but that is the beauty of Android....I can change it.
I hope that helps.

Dude take it up with the mods. They will all tell u the same ****. Any forum..any plece anytime.
Search before postings. I don't care to argue with you, but forum etiquette is forum etiquette and people are quite frankly sick of seeing the same topics getting posted over and over again.
If you don't understand that principle..maybe it's you that needs too take a hike.

I've been a member a long time...however I post only when I want/need info. I did a search....as yoda would say....Douche bag you are. If you really feel the thread is inappropriate, report it and move on. Leave the moderating to the moderators.
My flame resistant clothing is warm...but not on fire. I appreciate all the responses. To the guy that offered a trade....no thanks. I'm going to go to bestbuy and settle up there. I have the 32gb which is a $800.00 retail. 299 is what I paid.
Who knows....and to all the hater flaming on the thread....I hope to see you around E4gT forums.
Words to live by -->If you wouldn't say it to my face, don't type it either<--
It's the same thing you teach your kids....geesh!!

Hey,
I can't post in the dev thread because it's my first post.
This rom is perfect ! .. almost perfect
Its seems to be a bug in Settings>>Sound>>Vibrate
The mode "Only when not in Silent mode" doesn't work on my DHD.
Could someone who have the rights just post my feedback in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348425
Thx
Dude, you're only a mere 8 posts away from being able to post in the Dev forum.
Seriously... 8 posts. That's nothing. Just join some of the conversation that's occurring in the myriad and diverse forums on this site. If you are determined to be anti-social though ;-) I will post your bug to the thread of this awesome ROM... Let me know in this thread.
But then... if you respond to this reply, you will only be 7 posts away from Dev forum rights. See how that works? It's not a big requirement, bro.
Ok bro, I ll try...
I was just reading this sentence "Low quality posts will be deleted, especially when made simply to get to the 10 post threshold. " And wondering if my post would be high quality
Thanks anyway for your answer.
I think your posts are high enough quality so far, man. ;-)
Only 2 posts to go, too!
Thanks, I appreciate your help !
Only one left lol
Just seen Venum post about giving up on keeping up with discussion threads because ppl just refuse to read. One of our great devs seems frustrated....... can't blame him.
I've been playing around with this ROM sh#t for a couple years now. This ''why don't ppl just read'' thing is just always gonna be a problem. Maybe until someone way smarter then my dumbass can create some sort of program that before your able to post a question a Page or Page numbers will pop up? IDK.... Maybe some ppl are lazy and others are just too busy.
IMO starting separate discussion threads just isn't the answer. I find myself bouncing back and forth between both threads to get info on whats going on.
Hell I'm BADLY guilty of not researching. A week after a buddy from work mentioned something about roms I posted a question in the HTC dev thread when I ran into a problem. I got flamed big time. Ya know ''Hows the battery life on this rom?'' and all that.
I had an HTC TBolt before this badass phone. In two days we lost two great devs partly because of frustration with ppl in the threads. The flaming and why don't ppl just read.
I love this hobby. Just something too eff around with when I'm bored. There is ALOT of really cool and helpful peeps in these threads. Great devs too. I've looked into theming and after I found out about all the time it involved, I thought there is no way I could do this. I appreciate the time and work these devs and themers put into giving us there awesome work.
I'm 38 yrs old with a wife and a three yr old son. Don't know if I'm wise enough to give ya'll any advise but I'm going to give it anyway. All this is a cellphone and a hobby....... someone post a question that's been asked and answered a thousand times.... so what. Help if you want, or else move on. Don't take this sh#t too seriously.
This doesn't go out to the devs,contributers, or themers......I wouldn't be able to understand your frustration with some of this stuff in these threads only because of the time you put into this.
Venum,Erick,Mijjah74,BTR,Sfhub etc. etc.
Thanks.......

One of the best devs on my old phone just dropped phantom updates and almost never posted. People would mention issues or wants and a future release would often be updated with hose thigs. He would typically just update the op without even bumping the thread.
To all you devs out there hanks for your work but do it for yourself guys life it short and you deserve to have fun and enjoy what you do. I spent the last 6 years in bs jobs and finally got back to doing what I love, IT. I dont have the skills or ability in software but I'm working on my ccna right now. I can at least keep the network running for you guys in the future.
Personally, I enjoy the questions posted in my theme threads. I wouldn't ever make a discussion thread because I find it pointless. If people want to post something positive or constructive criticism in my thread, be my quest. I'm all open for ideas and opinions. I always have my own personal variants anyways.
I can understand people being unappreciative, and that can become frustrating. The devs just gotta realize that there are people like that EVERYWHERE and shouldn't let it bother them.
Amen!
Man these things fall funny sometimes lol I was commenting on the first post but didn't quote it in my response.
I'm not big on the idea of having 2 threads either. I always liked it better when it was one thread in development and everything was done inside that thread. But I also think people should read a little more and also utilize the search tool. If you go over the threads you will see the same questions asked in different ways, over and over again. I actually avoid the Hydra rom thread because of this. The devs definitely show a lot of restraint and still try their best to be helpful. Maybe once the official drops and we quit getting leaks every couple of days, things will get better. I myself definitely appreciate everything that all of the devs do in this community.

I feel that users who jumped onto the dev thread grabbing 2nd 3rd 4th post etc just for fun of it. It would be so nice if you did not grab those post and leave it to the dev or since you do have it, try to do something proactive and post relevant updates/status/bugs. Simple questions & answers. I remember on the miui.us forum Just_S did an amazing job on tackling this even before he was promoted to moderator.
Every forum on XDA is like this.
Another good reason to search through the threads is that you learn so much other good stuff that comes in handy down the road. If I had just asked a question every time I ran into trouble I wouldn't know half of what I know now. Although half of nothing is still nothing I guess!

I completely agree with this. If you take a 1st page post, do something constructive with it. Have your jokes and whatnot at first, but go back and add some value to it.
That's a great way to help the devs keep info and Q & A updated.

I don't mind people asking repetitive questions unless the answer is on the same page or in the op.

I actually agree with Overstew wholeheartedly here. What was referred to in the op was a comment I made in another thread when asked about the discussion thread I had. I'm sure my frustration showed through in my comments but that doesn't mean I want to quit or even really blast people. I wanted to use the rom thread as an actual problems thread and the discussion thread as "I love this rom" "I hate this rom" etc. So I wouldn't have to read through 30 pages of this and that to find issues.
As Overstew said and I feel the same way I enjoy the questions and I DO appreciate the feedback. Because I ACTUALLY do use the feedback good or bad to make tweaks or changes in regard to users as a whole. In hindsight its obvious the 2 thread roms are probably not a good idea. And I'll probably stop it.
Having said all that I want everyone here on the ET4G forum to know that you all have been great to me and in know way do I plan on leaving or getting so pissed off that I quit you guys. On the contrary, I appreciate all of you, and plan to be on the ET4G for the forseeable future trying to make our great phone even better... in addition please remember that we developers are human too and sometimes we may come across as being snippy or disrespectful. But in actuality we probably are having a bad day or something is not going well. Its not personal and we also try not to take things to personal. I think for those of you who know me I try to be as helpful and polite as I can be and represent XDA in the manner I would like to be treated as. And I was new once, and I haven't forgotten what it felt like to be lost or need help...
Sorry got carried away... so I'll end here by saying we have a great community here and it's because if YOU!!!

Venum our community wouldn't be the same without you. Thank you for all you do and I'm glad you have the persistence to put up with us.
I've enjoyed every one of your ROMs that I've run and still hold Anakonda up as one of my very favorites.
You and your team (including that crazy themer dude ) are one of the main reasons I'll be hanging onto my phone for the foreseeable future regardless what phone comes out next.
In short terms, you guys rock!
It does look like the two thread idea is not working as well as others would expect but you must admit its a great idea. Honestly xda is for developers to show off their stuff and for us to leech or not to leech. You would assume that we should be able to follow directions. Lets be honest a developer using his free time to make your product better has asked you too simply only post problems in his thread to make it better for you and easier for him to figure out what needs to be fixed. Ask yourself is that really that hard to do.
A developer takes his time to create a beautiful OP to answer all your questions and lets you know exactly what to do to achieve greatness on your phone. Are the directions really that difficult. At what point to we let common sense jump in and go hey before I post this let me think for a sec.....
Rom posted 5:45 post at 6:00 "Hows battery life" - Seriously
Op says camera does not work post will say "Camera is buggy rom sucks" - Why
Sorry I get it why developers get angry and I understand you want people to move on but really with all that's out there to help just take a sec and use your brain...
Remember its called xda DEVELOPERS
I believe it's just fickle times right now in the e4gt forum. Only dedicated xda users know to read thoroughly before jumping in. More and more people join the Android community and a lot more of those people are migrating to custom development. Normally this wouldn't be an issue but currently you have to 'lift your right leg, whirl your finger counter-clockwise, and sing the National Anthem backwards' just to simply flash anything. While most of us are fairly coordinated, myself included , the rest of the community just want to sit back and enjoy the music. In due time, we will all settle back in again and the user that doesn't read will not have to ask any questions, cause it will go smoothly the first time. Patience is key right now. It will get better.

When did XDA members start taking themselves so seriously! This site USED to be fun, now it's full of tight asses who like to see their words on the screen. A far cry from the days that I joined XDA to learn about custom ROMs on my beloved HTC Hero (CDMA).
Somehow it appears that the amount of posts a person has next to their name gives them the right to be jerks. Some Members and Moderators like to troll just to find a reason to bust someone's balls.
"Why all this *****ing Bruce777?" You may ask.
I don't post much but I've been around for a couple of years. The catalyst was a thread that some member posted in the general section. He made a new thread and was thanking the DEVs for the 4.4 slimkat Rom; it was closed and the MOD deemed it "not helpful" or some such nonsense. And to top it all off he was a **** about it!
I read it, I liked it. In fact it made me think "wow i guess the 4.4 roms are further along than I thought."
I know, I know, a new thread wasn't necessary but it was posted in "General"! Historically, a sounding board forum, it actually has "chat" in the description. This member has 3 posts in 3 years!! He/she is obviously someone who doesn't "clutter" up the forums.
Any-whoo......
Thanks for listening; I feel MUCH better!
Post count, title, reputation - it doesn't matter. We're all here for the same thing. Nobody has the right to belittle anyone or act like they are better than the next person. We're all here to help one another. Every once in a while you will come across that odd-ball who likes to stir up trouble. Use the report button for those posts and let the moderation team handle it.
As expected... thread closed.
