[Q] where is the introducing to new members - Off-topic

usually in the forums there is a post where the new members can introduce themselves, in this forum, where is this post? a greeting

Did you even make the slightest effort to find it? Or was looking anywhere other than up your butt too hard?

Seriously, do u see anyone discussing warez in these forums? What's wrong with you?
They are changing host and are experiencing some difficulties with this, expect them to pop again up any day now.
That said this site is primarly a forum, a forum isn't per any definition I am aware of, "warez".

Ban him! and ban everyone else who says warez in this thread.
Oh wait...

I have a legal background and I don't see anything wrong with answering this type of questions!!! We all are aware that xda does not support that kind of stuff or activity however been informed and let some of the users know what's going on with those sites it’s a different story!
xda does not support nor endorse these sites and as far as I understand if any of its users do not brake this rules they can post wherever the hell they want
Some people need to grow up! My two cents!

Pehaps a wink might have made that clearer.
As no requests for warez were made or offered, what harm has been done?
"where-is" waldo? oops, I said warez
You would think that people would be nice enough to at least keep from asking a forum which consists of developers where to pirate software. Some of us make the software you're trying to pirate you jerk. Even if we knew what happened to the site we probably would just hope the same thing happens to you. If you're going to pirate software have the common sense to shut up about it and contact people privately via PM or AIM or something. DAMN that just pisses me off.
I don't think that it says anywhere any the fourm rules that you have the right not to ever be offended. & hey, nowhere does it say you have to be intelligent to join the forum.
So, until the implement an IQ test for registration stop being a grumpy @ss & realize that God gave us idiots to give aus a few good laughs thru the day.
I frequently check were-is sites to see whats hot & if I happen to have an item in development that's the buzz.
Besides, PPCW is a weird bunch that I have seen ban some proggies b'cause of a developers request.
I also happen to know that one of the most visited sticky pages in Kaiser forum was posted by a diehard were-is community member. I'm relatively certain you've probably downloaded at least one of his posted items. But, it's okay when it's not warez & only posted by a warez supporter & it's something you want, right?
Besides, to be frank, I've seen alot of people come to OEM after trying out the warez b'cause alot of these warez guys are hacks & have sloppy cracks that disable or distort true proggy function.
Guys, I lock the thread and remove all occurences of the warez site.
Please do not even write down its name. Thanks!

Decent rom

Hey, can anyone reccomend a good rom?
not updated since june. got dutty's xt 3.9 wwe.
I'm sure theres been updates since then?
Who's had good experiences with what?
Thanks
If you want stability and speed - try topix.
If you want many things inside it and eyecandy - try energy.
If you want lightweight - try onkolog.
If you like dutty's one - go on with dutty's R12.
Miri is also has a good combination. But not for me.
-personal opinion-
very concise response thanks.
I'll probably hit the new dutty's rom.
just seen some really nice skins too, a lot can happen in 2 months.
one thing i've noticed the new dream and magic phones, are they beter than the touch hd, or is hd still the best HTC device?
Where can you find the R12 dutty rom?

p.s: Just noticed that thread closed and I've removed the link. Just google it ^^

that is silly. the guy asked a question and it was answered. flamers should get castrated, and new members should be treated with respect. if you're nice to them, they are more motivated to learn from the experience and read before they post.
I waited about 3 months before I made my first post. But then again, I also got a warning on my first post

i agree we should treat new members with respect, but the moderators are encouraging new members to scan ROM threads for feedback vs starting new threads. they can also post questions in the appropriate ROM threads.
my apolgies, technically it was my 30th post so i should have known better.
Just been out of the loop for 2 months, laziness is no excuse.
But the fact I was answered is a great tribute to the verterain users of the forum.

Perhaps you created new thread without reading forum rules, or you didn't post your query in an existing thread.

Would tend to agree with you both, all new members should be treated with respect, but at times it can be difficult due to the same questions being asked repeatedly. As cortez.i stated above we try (when possible) to encourage everyone to search existing threads before creating new ones. If threads already exist on your topic, but you cannot find your answer within thread, you should post your query into this thread, and not create a new one.
Forum rules clearly state this, and failure to abide by forum rules can result in warning and temporary bans.
To date I have not banned anyone for creating new threads, but continual disregard of forum rules will result in a ban.
Thanks for your time

Objections to new user posts

Does anyone else not like that new users cannot post in the developers forum until u have posted atleast ten post in the general forum?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yeah, most new users come here to ***** about it, untill they realize that it's not that hard to get 10 posts
Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
Nope, not at all. I had made 5 or 6 posts before even hearing about said rule. Then again, I'm not a developer, so I likely won't be posting in the hallowed forum where the collective genius does it's cogitations.

Really not that big of a deal imo.
http://objection.mrdictionary.net/go.php?n=5183727
What you've done here, is make a thread complaining about the 10 post requirement, so noobs can feign interest to get 10 posts and spam the development forums. In all honesty, senior members (who can be trusted) should need to approve of them. Or mods. But there would be too much for the mods to approve. Hence the trustworthy seniors.
I've mentioned this before, but look how you can make a difference with your first 10 posts, like this guy did!...

It is a developers forum after all so it's all about the contributions you can make. I'm sure you'll be contributing in time too. Have a read of some guides and wikis, browse some theme threads and thank the people for their efforts. You'll be well on your way within an hour!

True, but look at the majority of members with less than 10 posts. Yes, there is a minority with something decent to contribute, but these people are either long time lurkers or spend most of their time in other forums.

nah, keeps us from making a$$ of ourselves right away.
a noob on this forum may be a senior on another.. anyway, 10 posts is not a big thing.
the irony is, when the ROM creator asks for feedback, you find that you cant post on that thread!!
Edit: This is my 10th post!! Jailbreak!
I personally disagree quite strongly with it. When it was first being discussed I was under the impression that new users would not be able to create threads in the dev forums, and I was all for that. Then I realised it was not that, and suddenly the Q&A, and sometimes General, forums are filled with people asking for help flashing a ROM. My usual response is "ask in the ROM thread - the rules of XDA state not to make a new thread if there's an existing one", and they quite correctly respond that they're not allowed.
Basically, this new rule has made the Q&A and General threads even more disorganised than they already were.
I don't like it either, posting 10 posts is not easy
To all you noobs out there:
1. Read. <- You have two eyes, but ten fingers. Stop for a sec, read first before typing ANYTHING.
2. Respect. <- Most of us have gone through a lot. We've done a lot. We've contributed a lot. You have not earned the right to come in screaming, and neither have you earned the right make demands. Most of the people here do it for free. Be grateful, and worship the devs as they are meant to be.

I'm only at 7 and I want to post in a ROM Thread to point out some bugs which sucks that I have to wait before I can post a bug, but it's only 10 posts which is easy to get. I guess it helps with spam and people posting the same question or problem that's been posted before.

Hello All

Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd post and say Hi to everyone on XDA.
Love the site, was lurking for about 6 months, before I decided to join up, but wanted to say a big thank you to all the developers on here.
I have an HTC Desire HD running Android Revolution HD 5.1.11 and as you may be able to tell from my username and avatar, am an avid Tottenham Hotspur supporter.
Hope to make myself as useful as I can on the site, and hope you all keep up the good work.
Cheers guys.
Welcome to forums
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
Speaking of which....did you notice the "Hi" thread that was stickied?

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.
