[DISCUSSION] Elitist attitudes towards new threads - Off-topic

Ok, so the most recent thread, the "roll over your keyboard" one, has made me think of why some users on here hate on new threads.
I personally think that we should really stop acting this way, its insanely stupid and you are just coming out as immature.
I also noticed that majority of the "trolls" are S-mems with many posts. NEWSFLASH you are just setting a bad example of how S-mems act to any new member that posts.
My question stands -- why do you do it?

I hope my post in the "post what you're doing right now" thread didn't offend.

It's the OT people will get burned, regardless if it's a new or old thread. If people can't take the heat, stay away from the OT. That's the only reasonable answer I can give.

care to explain?

OT = home of trolls. They can be destructive at times and completely docile at others. They will bash up one thread while respecting and contributing to other threads. All I'm saying is such things happen. It's all part and parcel of dwelling in the OT and people shouldn't get their panties in a bunch if their thread gets bashed. They shouldn't expect too much from this section in the forum. If they go unscathed, good for them. If not leave it in the past and move on.

We don't cotton to stupidity 'round these parts.

Off-topic is already full of junk. This is just more junk. Until the powers that be decide to improve the standards in OT, anybody posting junk threads should be flamed relentlessly.
Half the threads here should be closed immediately and bans should be handed out for creating junk threads in future. For people who don't know the difference between a good thread and a junk thread:
Photography thread = Good
Take your head and let it roll over your keyboard = Junk
Of course, the powers that be need to do their part. OT shouldn't be a dumping ground for junk threads made in other parts of the forums either. If those threads are junk, delete them. Simple.
OT has it's moments, but for the most part it's full of witless nonsense.

Attention Moderators-All iPhoney Threads...

The last time I looked, this was a Kaiser forum and not an iPhoney forum.
Could Moderators please move these threads to general discussion?
I have personally previously posted a thread comparing MY TyTN II with a colleagues' iPhoney and how it beat it hands down in every respect before my and his very eyes. I posted the results here a while back.
It was NOT a thread about NEW iPHONEY to be released, nor how it will or possibly or maybe have hot and cold running water and all that tripe.
The fact is that this is a Kaiser forum and the iPhoney does NOT have any features RIGHT NOW which the Kaiser does have.
In the future, the Kaiser will also give live feeds from Mars and have direct access to Hubble Telescope feeds.
Isn't this a new Iphone thread? To go with the staggering number of one already posted?
If people want to ***** on/slaver over the Iphone, then let them do it in that one thread. If you start deleting/moving it people will just start another, and then another, and the same old arguments will just get repeated a few more times.
This thread, on the other hand - delete
Attention douche bag:
Last time I looked, the mods have eyes and read the forums. No need to make a thread telling them another thread is useless and should be closed/moved/etc. Let them make the judgement call.
If you're really concerned, drop one a PM. I love it when one of my retard users sends me a PM because they don't like what was posted on the forum I moderate. Easier to ignore.

Clogging up Threads with Useless Posts

Well I figure this is the proper place to put this, odds are almost no one will read it, but whatever. I've been around here for not yet a year and have learned a lot, and I have been amazed by the graphic and programming talents of many people.
While I understand a certain impatience/anxiety when waiting for a new release (ROM, theme, whatever...) from your favorite cook, designer, etc. there really isn't a need to clog the discussion thread up with posts that just say you are waiting. It doesn't contribute suggestions to the author, or help others.
On those lines...most people in here have lives outside of this forum, and programming, and hopefully our phones (don't get me wrong I love my phone, but I'll put it down in a heartbeat to go play with my daughter). So when you are anxiously waiting for that release posting comments like "oh [insert author here] hasn't posted an update in so it must mean they abandoned the project" is inconsiderate.
Is there a chance that they abandoned it, well yes, but odds are they would post something saying so. Most likely life got in the way (family, friends, going on holiday, computer crashing, programs failing, fire, flood, famine, etc). Give them time, most likely they will deliver what they promised. Complaining about the time it takes for someone to develop a FREE program/theme is hard for me to understand.
Well there is my 2cents...so comment away, flame, ban me, what ever. I just had to put it out there, and I wanted to do it somewhere other than the last thread I read that set me on this rant.
+1 I agree. Mind If I link to this in my Signature?
go for it. i've read simmilar rants/postings on this, but they are buried inside of the clogged up threads.

Funny...
The thing is that this is the nature of 'useful information'.
If the site was another drone the nature of the post would reflect that. They would be limited. But XDA is a site that has far reaching uses and applications, its only right that there's going to be some runoff.
This site is an example of the power of a truly informative forum.

Actually, it's a sad commentary on how little regard people have for others' time and effort. Too many people don't have the courtesy to expend some effort on their own before cluttering up a site with useless questions like this one. The worst part is incessant abuse like this drives away people whose posts are valuable to others. This is inconsiderate behavior on par with spitting on others' shoes, riding your bike/skateboard/etc. on a sidewalk, jaywalking, etc..

Right and wrong you are. Its a demonstration of ignorance without the intention of being disrespectful. People are simply uneducated when it comes to proper forum etiquette. You cant stop that. But you can assure yourself that all it takes are posts like this that will generate some flames and the OP will think twice about choosing not to search before posting.
You cant prevent posts like this, its inevitable.. but people do learn, and that's what you get with public forums.
Jay-walk enough times and your bound to get hit by a car..

I think you need to gain some life experience and the much needed perspective that comes with it. I actually think it's people like you that can ruin a forum. Empathy, tolerance and patience are the incandescent qualities that the cooks and senior users of this forum display to EVERYONE on this forum. They make this place what it is. You should try to emulate them.

this place like any other place in the world (including the deepest jungle) has its rules. ignoring the rules (in this case a very basic one) can be sometimes tolerated but not encouraged the way you are doing. next time the same noob will yawn at you
Oh give me a break!
His remarks were not polite or informative, in fact, they were designed to denigrate. There was no need for it at all - it's noobie bashing and you know it. I'm not encouraging the breaking of rules at all, where did I say or imply that?
I am however encouraging tolerance, that's not to say that people can't point noobies towards the search functions and rules of the forum; to make them feel bad is just spiteful.
And yes, I am intolerant towards people who like to pick on the less-informed.
To compare asking questions to 'insulting people' is absolutely ridiculous.

Thread Nazi's *Wrong Forum Fool*

What do you guys think? I'm seeing way to many dev's, forum goers and mods alike jump all over people ****e whenever they post in the wrong forum
Be Kind to your fellow man no need to be a **** about it. It's a learning experience if you are really getting upset over the "wrong category" you just shouldn't post there is plenty of other outlets for you.
My Two Cents and did I put it in the wrong forum? lol
Wrong section
Trash maybe?? Jk, but are you alowed to use the term [email protected] because its a hate word
I don't know what the vibrant forums are like, but in the realm of the almighty nexus mods and admins are constantly moving and deleting threads to the proper section, and it really clutters up the flow of the forum. It also makes it near impossible to find the thread you want...and, if you're like me, you don't want to waste the five minutes you can spare for xda daily on forum sifting.
Posting in the right subforum, AFAIK, are a part of the rules you agreed to by creating an account. I'm probably wrong there, but it would make sense.
BTW, I like the post count Max (1337)
Usually just ignore the *COUGH* jerks *COUGH* but sometimes I have to let a little anger out cause there are seriously a lot of *COUGH* jerks *COUGH* posting in the wrong section, not reading the first post etc... Now you made me mad You happy?
whats a tread nazi
Oh God. The vibrant forums are hell. They rip yer scalps off for asking a simple question. It gets annoying really. Look at the general. Noobs ask a question and they get flamed for it. That's BS.

where did my thread go?

What happend to it?
i dunno who deleted it , but he did a great job
we dont need that spam here
now grow up and do somthin better with ur life
its not spam. You see all of these other threads like ban the person above you and what are you listening to (theres plenty more)
people sit in there and post in those all day. Why not close those down?
and if i did much more with my life i would be the next Trump or Gates or someone
Doesn't matter. Other threads are above 10k. Your thread was worthless lol
Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
Still makes no sense
If you weren't here noticing it's because the 10 posts to post rule was causing major people (And still is) to spam. The mods wanted to cut the threads that caused spam on massive levels.
