As the title states, all questions posted in this section will be deleted without notice. Development is not tech support, and it is certainly not Q&A. We have a dedicated Q&A forum specifically for those needs. This issue has become such a problem here that it occasionally becomes hard to find actual development work in this sub-forum. Additionally, more than two thirds of my reported posts are questions erroneously posted in this section.
Repeat offenders will be given infractions and/or time off from the XDA community.
My goal with this is not to be a jerk, but rather to keep the boards clean.
This is getting silly now there is a dedicated forum for asking questions and people are still posting them in the General Forum..
ANY questions posted in the General Forum are subject to deletion and possible infraction against your account. I have better things to do with my time on here than moving threads into the correct forums. If it continues there will be consequences.
Mark.
I would like to reiterate this. Please ask ALL questions in Q&A. Moving threads is a pain in the butt. Threads will be moved/deleted without notice. I like to keep it friendly so please help me out.
Thanks
FNM
I just spent 30 minutes moving or deleting question threads in General. This is the last warning. They will simply be deleted from now on. It is much quicker to delete than to move, as I figure much easier to make sure you put your question in the right subforum rather than retype it.
PLEASE DO NOT POST QUESTIONS OF ANY KIND IN GENERAL!
Thank You

Threads not belonging on Development forums will be moved or deleted without notice
let me be frank. this forum is getting bored lately. a lot of new user has turned this forum into their secondary samsung service centre and repeatedly asked same questions. I don't know what other's feeling but I'm getting tired giving them repeated same answer. when I first came here this forum is a lot more nice and fun. the general section have a lot of information and great discussion about android and our sgy, while all question is placed and answered nicely in FAQ thread. but now, all those usefull information is gone. replaced, and covered by those repeated silly question. please note that I'm not saying that we can't ask question in this forum. sure we can ask any question related our sgy development, but please stop asking any troubleshooting question in general section. you can ask those question on FAQ thread anytime, or you can ask any senior member here via PM. you can even PM me, and I'll sure gladly answer if I can help.
well...please forgive me complaining. I just wanna make this forum as fun and nice as possible to all members. I can't do it by myself. I'll need all your help to keep this forum in order. if you're a new member here, please search and read before ask any question. if you're a senior member, please don't answer any troubleshooting which is not placed on FAQ question. they won't stop asking those question if you continue answer those question.
best regards,
kurotsugi

Yeah. Totally. For about half a year that i'm here, totally got bored. @[email protected] I'm finding no improvements at all.
We need a Q and A section. Posting in the same thread will only make us stay put in the 'Legacy and Low Activity' devices section. There need to be threads opening up every few seconds for us to get outta this rejected low activity section and into the main frame. Only then will there be real development of this device.
I'd have to agree, especially to those porting and creating ROMs that are left/unstable and thus calling themselves devs. I think the whole forum needs a spring cleaning, and when a thread starter has already a negative reputation, I guess that's when Iron Fist should be hammered down.

True ... !!
Even for a simple question newbie opens a new thread
U r right kuroshi
IMO FAQ thread is more than enough for this moment. if there is new section to be created, I think sgy duos development should prioritized first.
anyway, thanks for your support guys. I hope more member will join us soon.
A Duos sub-forum inside ours? Thats gotta help in our development. More threads are proportional to more development to me. Hope there'll be QnA and other version of Galaxy Y's sections soon.
I just saw two new threads
1st about rooting n
2nd about bricking galaxy y
Don't want ics for y
I want Kelly bean
imo separated sub-forum or faq thread is not effective. the problem is a lot of new member too lazy to use search button. even if we have Q&A section, if nobody give them an answer because similar question again and again, they will try to find other place to ask. we already have some people asking in dev section just because they want answer from a dev.
i agree with kurotsugi. if you are a senior member, ignore that kind of question. and if necessarily ask mod to close or delete. if questioner is a newbie, give him/her an advice to do search and ask mod to close that thread. that will be strong message : if you lazy, nobody here will help you.

Don't want ics for y

yeah.. i have even almost stopped checking the general section.. only check out the development section.
if we assume that all member here are read all the rules and search-read-try before ask any question, FAQ thread or even QA section is not needed. nevertheless, the reality is slightly different. let say, only those the 'more educated' one will do as we assume above. the other new members are usually never read the rules or even use search before post anything. in that case, we still need a FAQ thread to localize those question.
btw, I don't wanna see any harsh things here. not all of us are real devs, most of us here are still considered as newbie (including myself) who want to learn more about android stuff. personally I believe that this forum is not intended only for devs. this is a forum to share, learn, and improve all stuff about android. if you found new member posted those 'junk' question again, just kindly told him to post the question on FAQ thread, or if you don't have time to do that you can simply just ignore it.

I made our forum little bit clean by pm'ing threads link to mods
My special thanks to everyone in this thread
Keep our forum clean
To keep the section clean, I think admins should:
Close the thread and delete it. If not possible to delete, then we should have a trash bin for those threads.
Also, I agree to have a Q and A section. We all know that almost all of us haven't even seen the FAQ's - count me in.
BTW, I have viewed XDA wiki when I started here.
Seems that some members are able to have their threads deleted when things don't go their way. I disagree with this. I understand thread cleaning to keep things on topic, but especially when there maybe donations and or sending devices to members, I think thread and post histories help paint a more complete picture of a member's personality and maturity.
Currently, a member has had 2 threads deleted (instead of closed) in the HTC one (verizon) forum.
Maybe I'm the only one who agrees?
Only moderators have the ability to delete threads and we usually close the threads when they are obviously violating our rules. If you want to know the reason of your and only your thread being deleted, contact the local moderator.

Yeah agree with your thought. Thread should be closed rather than delete. Only moderator can delete the thread if they find it unnecessary or annoying.
