Can anyone explain to me the new policies started in the new Q&A section?
Has anyone seen this? Apparently, you have to jump through hoops to open a new thread in the new Questions and Answers section.
From RULES - Must Read Before Posting Sticky in Q&A
ALL QUESTIONS WILL BE POSTED IN SEPERATE THREADS. IF YOU WISH TO OPEN A NEW THREAD FOR YOUR QUESTION, PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING: If you wish to open a thread, you must PM me with the name of your thread, and the page number where it is located. IF YOU OPEN A THREAD, AND DO NOT SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO TWEAKMAN, YOUR THREAD WILL BE DELETED. There will be no exception to this. You must send the message to have your thread open!!!
ANY NEW THREAD, NOT OPENED BY A MODERATOR WILL BE REMOVED IMMEDITALEY: If you have a question you would like posted, you will not be turned away. This is only done to ensure that your question doesn't become lost in the pages as this section grows.
TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE TO REQUEST YOUR THREAD DO THE FOLLOWING:
1:GO TO THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THIS POST AND CLICK ON USER NAME "TWEAKMAN"
2:ONCE ON THE NEW PAGE, GO TO CONTACT INFO
3:SELECT THE OPTION TO SEND A PRIVATE MESSAGE (NO OTHER FORM OF MESSAGE WILL BE ACCEPTED)
4:INCLUDE ONLY YOUR QUESTION
5:YOUR DONE!! YOUR QUESTION WILL BE POSTED IN A NEW THREAD FOR FURTHER HELP AND DISCUSSION!

I can think of three really good reasons not to do this:
Nobody reads the stickies.
Especially newcomers to the forum. People are just going to post new threads and wonder why they keep getting deleted.
It isn't very convenient.
What happens if I have a problem when Tweakman is asleep? Or on the toilet? I really feel sorry for that guy if he is going to have to publish every question anyone asks.
It is unnecessarily difficult.
The creation of this section was to help the Development and Hacking section get rid of general question posts. But if it is easier to make a new post in Development and Hacking, then people are just going to keep on doing that. Like this guy.
And then there is this:
ALL NEW QUESTIONS WILL BE REMOVED AFTER 7 DAYS: Once a thread is opened with your question, it will be left standing for a total of 7 (seven) days. If your question has not been answered at that time, you may repost your question as many times as needed. Again, this is to ensure that your question doesn't become lost in the pages as this section grows.

I don't get this either. What's wrong with the system as it is? Why can't we just leave the questions so that people can search for answers before they post? (Okay, granted most newcomers don't search either, but some do.) If people aren't getting answers, they can just bump their thread.
Am I wrong?
I agree, great intentions, but the whole idea is poorly conceived, just like the original thread in Development and hacking...nothing got answered, and if it did, how do you navigate to it to find it? Is anyone going to dig through this crap to answer someone else's question. I think not.
Give it time.
The kinks will be worked out.
Don't be so negative.
it will be open for all to post soon...... they are working on a team to keep the thread organized once fully opened

Sounds good. I hope lots of people pitch-in to help.
Q&a Section Now Open For All To Post
Hello!
Thanks to svetius, we now have an Android General section!
Now we can conform more to the rest of the XDA layout - development goes here, non-development goes in General. As Android threads didn't make sense in the 'General' area, I asked to get a new subsection. So if you're looking for a thread that was here and can't find it, said thread is likely here!
Enjoy
As I was scrolling through the OT forums, I noticed a few devices (HTC especially) which opened their new OT Threads there after theirs was closed as well. So I made one for us too Do drop by.

Mods can lock this if you want. This thread is not to be posted in, rather to spread the info.
Anyone have pure CAF kernel ?? Please upload it to gdrive and give me link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/help/pure-caf-kernel-t3905118/post78996726
And here which is in the wrong section.
Reported.
So, you did the same thing again, yeah, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78850988&postcount=3 , like you don't even care after the moderators moved your (three same threads) to the right section!
To the moderator who will take an action, this is just a small example of what happening here, and it's the second time (or maybe more) to do this, and i can see that he isn't a new joiner here to do that, and now he is requesting a kernel which is removed by it's own developer as a hint that he don't like to share it at least in the meanwhile due to what's going on now, but clearly he don't even care about anything, we are tired and this community is really suffers, maybe with some actions with those everyone will think twice before doing something like that, Thanks.

I recently built DerpFest OS unofficial for Redmi 6 pro and wanted to upload it in development section ,as I made thread and hit upload, it prompted me with "To prevent spam, you must have a higher post count in order to make a new thread in this development section.�But feel free to make new thread in the non-development sections like General, Q&A, etc. Thanks for your understanding!"
So I gone to General section and thought to upload there. Still it gives me this:
"To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!"
Now what should I do XD
