I found xda forum very stupid. - Off-topic

I found xda forum very stupid. I had been visiting xda forum for like two or three years but I registered this account way later like some months ago. Then, when I had some real serious problem that I wanted to ask in a development thread, it just won't let me. It's so stupid although I totally understand the intentions of this but really, what if someone like me really need to address some serious issues like some serious bugs in a new ROM or some boot failure issues? And the most stupid part is that you got to post 10 spams before you can speak in the development forum then I was like WTF??

This forum is not a support forum. It's here for developers to discuss and share their development work.
See the link in my signature about the 10 post rule. It will explain why it's in place and help you become a constructive member of the community, rather than a whining leech (not calling you a whining leech - just saying you won't be one ).

BAD XDA-DEVELOPERS? Where's this thread?Who has deleted it?WHY?!?!?!?!?!

[Mod Edit: The Previous Thread by Dutty was removed by request, because of it's sensitive WM 6.5 content, unfortunatly this sometimes has to happen and is not in particular because the developer or XDA wants to keep information away from the Public. I hope, that without going into to much detail that we can count on the understanding of you al. If there are questions regarding Removed threads please don't hesitate to ask a Mod directly At The Moment this is being investigated.
Please take into account a few days before a Response will be available. Thanks for all your understanding and patience]

There are some strange things.
The first: why that thread was closed?? On that thread there were interesting infos usefull for many people here. So, WHY??
Second: why this morning that thread disappeared completely??
Third: why no one seems to have those rom dumps from Rhodium and Topaz??
Only one person seems to have got those dumps, it's clear reading the thread.
SO, WHY NO ONE HAS SHARED THE DUMPs???
THOSE ARE PERHAPS USELESS FOR THIS COMMUNITY????
In my opinion this is REALLY STRANGE, and I can't understand the points above.
Is this a community to develop something together or not??
SO, WHY NOT SHARE THOSE SOURCES(I REPEAT, SOURCES!!)??? Those are usefull for all the community!!! OR I'M WRONG??!?!?!?!?
Please, someone tell me that I'm wrong or let me know what's the spirit of xda-developers!
make a complaint to admin of this site
Uh! Oh!!!
I can't believe it. I hope that some one could explane me (us) what is it? I couldn't believe such a behaviour on this forum. Never seen before and I am there since so many time!!!
About the sharing: where did the spirit of this forum go???
It is obvious you did not even bother to ask any moderator or the admin before starting this thread. Please follow those procedures before you start a new thread accusing a mod of being sneaky and underhanded. This thread is closed as it will not lead to anything productive. We will look into it.
In the future please afford everyone the respect of actually looking into a matter before publicly accusing people of anything.

Thinking of leaving xda :(

Well guys, I am seriously thinking of leaving xda. All of my posts are being moved from development to general "lufc" stating that they have nothing to do with development. Granted 1 or 2 of them dont, but not all of them. And he is leaving up posts in there from users that posted stuff since before I even owned this device. I will stay on here til I get CWM running. But after that I am thinking of leaving for good.
Dont take this the wrong way. I mean a couple of you are giving some useful insight, but honestly I am working on this myself and I only got 19 thanks on here and no donations. I mean, im not asking by any means for anyone to fork up anything for this especially since I have not finished the first and most essential need for the streak before any deving can be done. But with that being said, after I get CWM completed, there is really nothing holding me here since you guys wont even see my posts when they get moved half way across the universe.
Sorry guys. And then again, I might just stay, who knows

This issue has been raised in the past, and it was determined by the Senior staff that any threads in [Device] Development must either contain a released product (i.e. ROMs), or tweaks/patches (i.e. registry fixes). Any threads that do not meet these requirements will be moved to General. All questions will be moved to Q&A is it exists for a particular device.
@OP: Creating a thread like this is not the correct channel to discuss actions taken by a Forum Moderator. Going forward, please reply to the automated PM you received as each thread was moved, or send a PM to any Senior Moderator, and we will take a look.

@ 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

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.

ANDROID L! Seriously guys?

Ok, this is getting crazy over here. Why on earth can we not have a SINGLE THREAD about Android L? It is the biggest release for Android and some people are excited. Everybody was confined to one thread prior to this, and guess what? That thread was closed. Why? Because people were apparently "spamming questions" (I didn't read through the entire thread so I don't know exactly what was going down, but the last couple pages didn't see all that bad).
Every other thread now is getting shut down. Seriously, what does it matter if people are asking too much? They are excited! Closing all of these threads are just going to make new people (those who weren't here last night or today) keep posting more topics on the matter. So what if people are being annoying. That main thread that was closed still had some genuine people in it. Who cares if there are a few people throughout the thread asking too much? Let them be! At least it is in one thread and not making a mess of this and the Q&A forum, likes its been since the main thread was closed.
Let this topic stay please, and let anybody speculate, ask questions, build hype or whatever towards Dev preview!
May I just remind everybody who would say something along the lines of "Oh XDA is a developer forum not blah blah blah", which is what I have seen numerous times in these topics that have been closed:
Quoted Directly above the threads here in General!
"Since this is not a development section, you can post on general topics that all users will encounter with the Nexus 5. Any registered XDA user can post in this forum."
I believe all users will encounter Android L, so why can't there be speculation, posts about things that were discovered, new pictures ect.? Look I know it gets annoying, but that's when it is all over the forum. Can we just keep this one topic open and confine everybody to it? It will make those who want to talk about it happy for they have a place and it will make those annoyed happy for it is only one thread.
Noble cause, but it won't work. It will derail in a matter of seconds and none of us mods feel like taking on the burden of keeping it in check simply for speculation purposes. Wait for the test version to drop, until then nothing is allowed.
Thread closed.

And WRONG SECTION. This is ANDROID DEVELOPMENT not Q&A where this belongs.
No its a little more complicated than that this is also related to development due to the fact that nobody's Got any kind of information

Development is for development of Roms,etc. You asked a question and are troubleshooting. There is a stickied post (the second one on the development page) that says "★ ☆ ✰ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting do not go in the Development Section. ✰ ☆ ★ "

XDA is for the development of ROMS, software, apks, etc. It is NOT to help you put your phone on another carrier. That has never been supported on XDA. There are websites that you can get the info on, but XDA isn't one of them.
Could have fooled me I been here for years and for years I have came here with different phones and different options if you can find one thing that "officially" says that flashing carriers on here isn't within the confines of this website then I swear to god I'll delete my account and never return
Damn trolls
Not only that I can guarantee you'll not only find nothing but that you will find PLENTY in support of it thanks have a nice day ADMIN PLEASE CLOSE THIS POST IM DONE I GIVE UP
Personally I would have suggested you just reflash the phone to stock, care to tell us how you resolved it to help someone in the future... It's not our fault you didn't follow forum rules.
Okay it's been 24hrs and still no answer so apparently I wasn't breaking the rules how about you **** off I asked for this to be closed and **** helping others nobody else here does all they do is ***** about "wrong area" how I fixed it is on me and if you ain't paying me then that info is mine

Yeah this is a voluntary support site, no one gets paid to help you either. Ever think no one knew the answer to your problem? No one complained about you re posting your question after 24 hours, just posting it in the wrong section. Keep being clueless about it though.
I didn't repost it was moved by an admin dumb ass
And that's why I fixed it my self

Well you have been around long enough to know the Forum Ruls on posting, to which you agreed on when you signed up, but as you asked here are the violations you have done, BTW you can stand by...
