...before posting in dev forums. Really?
Sounds like an invitation to spam.
There should be other way.

It must be the best solution for the time being, that's why the forum mods have implemented it.

There is always a start.
Go around general android forums and see if u can post some constructive comments.

I asked something for an app development reg api level support for a particular thing i wanted n some guidance if it was possible
n it was shifted to q&a....
Not that it was wrong but just slightly confusing...thought q&a was just surface level questions :-\

I'm sure with the search function if you really need help with an issue you can find something that's already been posted.
But yes it sort of does encourage spamming.

And despite his rule supposed to educate people to read and SEARCH by themselves before blindly asking, threads are full of posts asking for things that have been answered two pages before.....

yes, for newbies is really "educative"

ya it's true! with this limitation 60% of new account doesn't post more than 2-3 times xD

But we can send troll post to get 10 posts xD
How are you my friend? Problem?

Spamwise, this is already working. General Optimus 2x discussion, about the all-in-topic 10 post restriction on a thread which is stricly restrict to development.
Dev thread should be allowed to user-specific, so that only known devs should post there. Ofc with some rules like forcing the developers to create a feeback/reporting thread in the general. Or even creating a discussion thread.
dont get me wrong, but ffs, The CM7 nightly dev thread is stupidly and insanely filled in with spam, i mean, 9800+ posts on a development thread?

9800+..???
Now if someone gets stuck somewhere, how the hell do they search for it..??
Even in the General forum, there should be a locking system..wherein the thread gets locked after the mod feels the discussion has yielded a result..
Its actually impractical for someone to browse through 30-40 pages of posts trying to find an answer...
duplicate threads should be deleted and the creator of the thread should get the url as a pm..(u can write a script for it..not a hassle..)

Q/A thread

So lately, i saw the galaxy fit owners having a Q/A section in their forums.
First of all i want to congratulate them on that behalf.
So i read somewhere that if a device's general section forum reaches 1000 threads or 10000 posts limit, that device forum earn itself a separate q/a section.
The eligibility if true it is, we should also contact mods for the q/a section as the spam count in general section is filling with each passing day.

Anything non-urgent or non important thing shuld go here

Any thing which doesn't belong to themes and apps, dev, nor q/a should only be posted in general section.
Rest in their respective sections.
But first the question of the subject is "is our sgm forum eligible for this facility?" .

Well seems this post was buried deep under.

I already contacted sixstring regarding this..he said Q/A are added upon request.
I'll ask him again.

Whatever it is, i think this addon would greatly be appreciated by all.
considering all the spam count regarding inquiries in general section.
Also our section needs some cleaning in dev thread. Wondering where our mod is.

Hey, you didn't read the O.P. post carefully , did you?

@ hulk

For some reason you blocked me from sending PM.
Weird behaviour of a mod, you don't even give new members the change to explain.
So here is what i wanted to send:
Strange, why you closed my thread?
I just saw the link the polish guy posted and found a few answers there.
But not all answers are in that thread, simply because it's not the same rom.
Ok, i'm a new member and don't know all the rules and find everything right away, but since when is it forbidden to ask simpel questions that weren't asked before?
And b.t.w. new memebrs are forced to spam questions in those threads, because we have to wait 10 posts before we can ask in de dev thread.
I understand why that is, but it doesn't solve the problem because after 10 posts people do it anyway.
Thank you for your help/time anyway.
I now reached my 10 posts, so you can close this thread or place it were it belongs (off-topic thread?)

I understand your feeling but many members newbie or not they say use search button first before asking or specially creating a new thread like the one you create there's a identical thread that tonyp's created in that section you can ask there even your post is below 10 because the q&a section is the section where you should learn first the things you want to know because its full of question and answer

Hulk is the worst mod xda has ever had.

You made a new account just to say that? I'm impressed.
This thread should be closed now.

If there no answers then ask a question in proper thread and it will be added to Q&A.
Your thread was closed, because I reported it as useless.
If MrXT would became moderator, he probably behaved the same. I am moderator on another forum too and some user just don't feel rules that the person must keep to make forum clean. MrXT is just a hater, don't know what his mind is pointed on.
Hulk does his job very good
Sorry, if I offenses you. I wanted to point you to ask all questions in thread that contains library which grows up i properly thread.
Cheers.

What the hell are you complaining about?
Your thread was closed with a very polite message pointing you towards the correct place for your question and your response is to throw a public tantrum....
Nobody has stopped you sending PMs and pointless threads will be closed, just like this one.

[Q] Why won't the Xperia TX get its own sub-forum?

I searched, but the only result from the forum was a thread about suggesting a TX sub-forum, and the rest of the results were just random XDA articles about the TX.
I ask, because one of the admins/mods just closed a thread without any explanation as to why it was an issue. All he/she said was:
The
Xperia
TX
Will
NOT
Get
A
Forum
Keep scrolling a tad more....
Just a little bit more.....
Almost there...

...which is incredibly unhelpful. That response was the reason I started this thread. Can someone other than that person please explain?

That response says it all, and if you read that thread it is explained fully

I don't see why you want a sub forum?
doing that will shrink the already scarce developers for the phone, where as Ive seen on the MAJORITY of threads ive read, the developer is happy to modify for TX

I don't necessarily need a sub-forum for it myself. I'm just wondering why bringing it up is akin to asking to murder a child on xda forums.
That admin/mod could have explained why it's a bad idea (even with a copy and paste) and then closed the thread. Instead I just sense a lot of antagonism directed at the people who posted in that thread.

Go back to the closed thread, read it again, every post at least 3 times, and maybe you will understand why it has been closed. As Greg already said, it is explained in the thread.
Now you can either keep spamming this thread with an already closed issue, or read and try to understand.

Actually that very same person already explained the reason:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37119890&postcount=36

Why we do not have subforum ?
Why we do not have JB update ?
BECAUSE !!!!
So why do you bought TX ?
That's the question !
Stop crying !

OP first this thread moved to the correct location...Questions in the Q&A...
As outlined by others, some homework from the thread you questioned, would of gotten you the answers, hence not needing to open a new thread. Moral of the story, search #1 Rule...and #15 also of the Forum Rules. Thanks.

Why no dedicated forum?

Jeez XDA, still no dedicated forum for Chromecast? With its current sell out & continued interest you'd think there would already be a dedicated forum here.
Then again, why am I surprised at XDA being slow on the uptake lol!

Really? No Dev section, no general, etc... "Umm" your definition of a dedicated forum and mine appear to differ.

It's only been out for a weekend. Many people that ordered the first day still havent even received theres (myself included). Give it a week or so. It's already been rooted and people are figuring out work-arounds to do what they want with it. Until there's actually mods to make to the device, it probably want get a dedicated section.

But I sure that xda forum is a dedicated forum where all persons can share any new information or problems. I will say thanks to xda forum for aware the informations of dedicated developers. I also visited CSS Chopper where a number of results always found the dedication of developers.

I asked about here but no response.
