Are you just going to sit by and let people rip each other to shreds? I know that some people deserve it...but some don't.
Why have things here been allowed to sink so low? People are frustrated and taking it out on each other. That isn't what web communities are all about. Moderators and admins are supposed to help in situations like this yet, I don't see anything from the admins or mods. Why is that?
Faria had an extreme situation and no one did anything about it and from there things have just gone all too hell. There was a person who should have been banned in the last Faria thread. If you'd have stepped in things wouldn't be @ the point they are now.
Are there any mods or admins out there? Don't you care in the least bit? Are you just going to allow this place to dry up and die?
Time to step in. NOW.
BTW I've been a member for 3 years. I have a low post count because don't post much because I READ...LOTS...in every forum. So I'm not just a noob. I'm studying.
Some of us do read. We don't deserve to be punished and ripped.
Sorry - (I only speak for myself) I haven't had the time to follow all the looooooooong threads on a daily basis. Which threads should I check out?
(BTW, always feel free to PM mods if you have problems with some forum members. It's the fatestes method.)
xultar: every post has an exclamation next to it to allow a post to be reported to the mods. As much as we would like to, no one has time to read every post on every thread.

The person who took the password to Faria's rom and posted it in all the forums?
That __s.
BTW some people are advocating a 1 month wait before a person first posts.
You guys should consider that option. I'll post a link to the thread where it is being discussed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283801&page=3
Scroll towards the bottom...a member suggested a month hold on posting for new forum members...forcing them to read. I think a lot of us agree with such an idea.
I would suggest taking in a few more mods to help you guys out. Perhaps assign a couple of mods to each forum. Making these persons responsible for that forum. I can truly understand that you guys don't wanna/have time to read through a 50 page thread concerning a ROM for a device that you don't even own.

Did that for this thread (which contains Warez): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1066121#post1066121
But I guess it was lost in the mail! (Just reported it for a third or maybe fourth time today).
How can I respect a site that allows outright theft of intellectual property?
Need help?
If you guys don't have the time, make me a moderator, I'll tear some threads to shreds and sink the "Gimme a$$holes".
I've tried putting the trash to the curb (by reporting it) but nobody ever brought the big green truck around on pick-up day.
If you're hiring, I'm here....

When you purchased the phone you purchased a license for WM5. This is in essence modding a legally licensed OS.
Of course this gets sticky when you are talking about running WM5 on a device without a released version of WM5.
But this is off topic. The point is that when Warez are reported the Mods still do nothing.
This was posted a little while ago. I guess they are listening to us and taking mod applications.

Vilem, No prob... I've had my share of bad days and on an occassion or two I've ripped into someone when they didn't deserve it. You at least posed a question about the difference instead of ripping me a new A-Hole for being a hypocrite.
Plus, the EVIL GENIE Bill (Stifle-all-competition) Gates, himself was recently reported as being approached by an X-BOX modder, and asking how MicroSoft could reach out to their modding community....
Sounds to me like M$ wants to be a bit more inclusive now.
Letting our community build market share for them doesn't sound counterproductive for anyone here.

I'M putting the members down? WOW... I really enjoy helping people out and it just ticks me off when others blow them away by insulting/flaming them and putting useless posts thinking they know it all when they wont even answer the question straight up. The reason i led him to that forum is because a user will never be flamed no matter what he asks. I enjoy it here, what i don't enjoy are ignorant users.

So I'm ignorant? Awesome.
In every culture you have standard unspoken "rules." It just so happen that here its that you search before creating a useless thread. That's all I'm saying. I enjoy helping people too. What I don't enjoy is spoon feeding people the answers I know are out there because I've looked for them my self, or given the answer before. If you repeat yourself enough, you get tired. That's all.

I didn't say you were ignorant because you are a helpful member in different aspects of the community but there are some members that i see when going to different posts, always take the first post and start flaming the OP. Even OTHER members start realizing it. I hate spoon feeding people as well or fetching them stuff, i can understand that. However, it's not that hard to just give a few answers. I mean you're going to post, so might as well help them out someway, right...? It's not that hard to give a simple answer followed maybe by the wiki (ie go here and install this and then if you have more troubles, look here (wiki). That's all i'm saying. If people want to post, that's awesome. It's just not so cool when they post saying words like "search" or "read the wiki." If you're mad, no problem, just don't reply to it. If mods then feel it's appropriate to close the thread, then by all means, they will do so and perhaps guide them the right way.
if you like to help noobies so much......then feel free to start a "ask all noobie questions here" thread.
although it will still be a problem as i'm sure they wont see the thread, just like they missed the sticky, so maybe you can ask a mod to merge all new redundant threads to your "ask noobie questions" thread, then you can have all the fun answering their questions like you want, and there less redundant threads like what everybody wants..........so everybody gets what they want.....and so everybody is happy.
Well said kareem9nba, but the flaming isn't just here on XDA, it's on all the "HELP" forums. I am not a new user of HTC devices, having used a Hermes for over a year and have shared what little knowledge I have on that device with others on the Hermes forum, but I am new to the Kaiser. In comparison the Hermes is easy to upgrade, plug it into the PC and run the RRU. I had some problems understanding how to Hard SPLing my Kaiser and I asked a few questions read the wiki, and was successful. When I posted my success, FLAME ON. I posted that Jimmy Buffett wrote a song about the flamers, the thread was closed, and it should have been. Again sir, well said. I will lurk and read and learn, but, I really doubt I will never post another question or one of my fixes to someone else's problems.

It's not that i like to help noobs, I like to help everybody. The reason behind that is that when I ask a question, it always feel good to see some replies (non-negative ones). It's nice to spread knowledge so that everybody could help others out. Giving them information about something isn't knowledge just as Einstein said "Information is not knowledge "but a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification." Help give them the facts, and the leave the rest for them to pile up.
Now this is just classic.

3. Huh? Try punctuation next time. I got tired and just didn't even try to finish.
@ the OP, consider this your free one. I know for a fact all the answers you are looking for are just a Search Button away.
Now, here's the funny part. Instead of answering the question, this thread turned in to a debate over who's helping who and who is not. Therefore, thread closed.
over the last few days youtube hasnt been working for me when i click on the video i want to view the program says connecting then after a few seconds it says 'unable to connect'
can anyone help please
**This is not intended as a flame**
A) This topic has been covered 9,999,999,999,999,999e10 times on the forum before
B) You need to provide more information. (ROM version, program being used for YouTube, etc...)
SEARCH and you will find the answer to you question. (See my sig for a link.) As NotATreoFan stated, this has been asked and answered.
It amazes me that people just drop into the forum and ask a question providing no information about their device or what they have done already to troubleshoot their issue. (In most cases this is because they have done nothing.) Rather conceited of you to think that YOUR configuration is the only one. There are thousands of device\Rom\radio\apps combinations out there. Even if we wanted to help you we couldn't since you have given us ZERO information about your device. All we know is it is an HTC Handset, which means it is one of a dozens of different possibilities.
Don't waste your time, and forum space, by posting generic questions like this. In fact, don't even respond to me. Just go search for your answer.

The Kaiser does not have native support for YouTube. You should download and install a program called TCPMP, and also download the FlashVideoBundle plugin for it. I cannot point you to a specific link because there are several different versions of TCPMP/FlashVideoBundle, so you have to experiment and find which one works for the ROM you are running.
thanks for a quick reply, at least some people are decent on here, but after comments like that off other members in not coming back...

denco7 go "mod edit" yourself
You QUIT Flaming other members. This only make you as bad as them.
The reason they told you to search it this. If you had used the Search function and entered "how to play youtube" you would have found a bunch of answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320962
So What have we learned here.
1. Youtube is not supported Native.
2. Search Will yield Results, I promise.
3. You catch more flys with honey versus vinegar.
4. Don't be rude, even if someone else "started it."
Follow these rules and you will have a happy forum life.

Dude. Seriously?
This thread had died a spectacular death. And you, being a troll, dig it up and open old wounds.
You win first prize in silliness today
As it turns out when I do a search for a topic the little search bar gives me EVERYTHING I dont need.. and NOTHING about what I do.. I understand that a lot of people just post new threads about the same crud but still, instead of just jumping down their throats take time to listen and tell them and, if you know, where to find the topic they are looking for .. perhaps with a link and a polite comment. Constantly saying "Did you use search?" is not helpful at all. AND answering their question with "This thread will be closed because another member already has a post like this" still doesn't answer the persons question. Imagine going to the airport and trying to find a flight, and when you ask a airport employee where the flight is they just say " someone already asked where that plane was and your question will be ignored thanks and next time use SEARCH" I am sure that would make you quite livid.. I am done ranting and I am sure the moderators will delete this before my head can turn away from the keyboard....
Sigh.... use this to search. I'm not even going to get into the rest...
Please post in the correct forum probably general i'm sure if you used the search you would have found a subject about search
*Sigh* Why do people find it so hard to use these forums properly?
as usual
lol of course someone would just want to tell me to use search. And the FAIL part is .. I DIDNT EVEN NEED ANYONES HELP just needed a few people to see this and agree with me.
just
close the thread already.. Im just frustrated with the lack of helpful community
and whats even funnier is that not ONE of you has asked me if I needed help. Just jumped on the bash train and ran my a** over

That's because this is a completely useless thread in a Development Forum. That's why we respond with disdain and contempt in our hearts.
actually its quite a helpful community but nobody is going to spoonfeed you. This thread should be closed it has little to no value, especially in the ROM thread.
LOL
My point to all this is, the people who use search are usually lost and instead of helping them you would rather just tell them what they already know. Which is why this thread was purposefully placed in the rom development section of XDA developers, so please, by all means, close this thread and be a human being for a change rather than a hate bot. All saying the same hateful and redundant thing....
This is a development community not a "Ooooo Get my phone unlocked for free" or a "make my phone neat and kewl" place. That is why the name is xda-developers. There is plenty of stuff already out there and the search button gives you plenty of info if all of the info at the wiki wasn't enough. It's just called looking a bit with the search button as in reading reading and more reading. Not doing so is just laziness. You don't just look at the first page of your search results. You go through them throughly.
....Where is Dave or kareem?

All well and good if this was the HTC funded 24 hour help line, but it is not, it is a developers forum.
Go to Execu-jet ( charter jet service ) and ask them when the next flight to Paris is . and they will tell you to go to the airport and ask the people whos job it is to help you .

again missing my point. Lost people need help right? and if SEARCH isn't giving the help then who the hell else can they turn to? You developers, hackers, and all around good folks... So stop being so darn cynical and hateful
I bid you good day sir...... I SAID GOOD DAY SIR....
While it's true this was not the proper forum for such a rant, I couldn't agree more with what the OP was saying. The resources on xda-dev are incredible and unparalleled but the attitude of many senior members and mods is arrogant and unhelpful. I try to use the search all the time, but when I find a thread that looks like it could contain the answer I seek, the f----ng thing is closed (without an answer) about a third of the time!
There's a simple solution to this BS, and most of us learned it in kindergarten. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. Why waste your time with a "UTFS" (use the f----ng search) post when you could simply IGNORE it? If someone else WANTS to take the time to "spoon feed" the OP, WHAT'S THE HARM IN THAT? "Wasted space!" "Wasted bandwidth!" "Forum clutter!" - Well what do you think all those useless UTFS posts are?!
As for the heavy-handed mods closing threads at the drop of the hat, WHY WASTE YOUR TIME? If it's in the wrong forum (as this one is), MOVE IT. If you think it's redundant, post a link THEN close it - or just ignore it. Closed threads make no sense at all. If it's in violation of forum rules, DELETE it. Otherwise leave it alone and give it the CHANCE to be useful (at least to someone.)
I'll give a pefect example, right here in this particular forum. Try finding a good naked ROM for Kaiser. I mean truly naked - eOS FiRe is definitely NOT, but that's what gets recommended - just before such threads get closed by mods with the BS comment, "Plenty such ROMS out there. Thread closed." Really? Where? Good luck finding one via the search.

Ohh mickey, now you have showed him the magic keywords how to search for a naked ROM for Kaiser.
You know that now you have disclosed our trade secrets.
Punative actions will be taken for breeching the non-disclosure act
A search is only as good as the keywords you feed it.
eg. instead of "naked ROM" you could also use "vanilla ROM", or "clean ROM".
This thread is even more ridicules than my comments to Mickey my post, so I'll close it..

Why are people incapable of following the first rule of XDA and searching? This has been asked about 100 times already.

No, I'm just a user who has been here a while and gets peed off with people who think they are special or don't need to search - so we end up with multiple repeat threads.

If you had searched you would have found;-
[GUIDE] CM10.1 and FM Radio..Finally AUDIO WORK!
FM Radio works automatically "CyanogenMod"...
fm radio
cm 10.2 + spirit fm ?
[Q] FM Radio for CM 10.1?
I need the FM radio app
Spirit FM unlocked FM receiver
[Q] [Help] Radio FM don´t work
LG FM Radio App
Fm radio on Cm 10.2
Any of which could have answered your question.
I'm not abusing you for being a 'noob', I asked why you were incapable of searching. You need to remember that some of us here actually put a lot of time and effort into helping people out, but when we see the same problem asked for the 50th time because of laziness it gets very, very annoying. XDA is not a helpdesk for noobs, so you are much better off searching first, and then if you really can't find the answer you have good reason to ask a question.

He was given the solution in the 2nd post. Hopefully by me pointing out just how lazy the OP had been and how easily and quickly he could have found the answer himself he might actually use the search function next time, rather than being a waste of bytes.

Without even bothering to thank him (not with the button, at least)
I wonder (already knowing the answer) who showed more respect and helpfulness.

Do you really think I care about the 'Thanks' button? This thread is a prime example of where XDA has started to die so badly under its own success. It is NOT a helpdesk for noobs. It is primarily a development site, yet more and more people are joining every day, refusing to read the rules or follow them, getting upset when they have the error of their ways pointed out and filling the forums with duplicate threads and junk.
Just because our moderators are too busy to moderate these forums, or don't care, doesn't mean that people refusing to follow the rules should be condoned by other users.

You are totally right.
And i can understand that you don't care about the button.
That button is a social tool, though. Even if you don't care, it shows other people who care that you (or anyone who received a thank) did contribute in some way. Well, if one does not care to publicly say thank, it means he did not understand the social nature of this forum, and will always go on withdrawing hints without ever giving some.
Not pretending to be right, just expressing a personal opinion.

I'm not disagreeing with you in the slightest. More and more I see newcomers here not understanding the 'Thanks' button - which is really infuriating when they post "Thanks" or "Great ROM" in the Dev threads instead of simply pressing the button.
Unfortunately, we are being overtaken by the Facebook generation which is a really bad thing.

We are in the same waveband, then.
Getting OT, though. No more chit-chatting, even if this thread is totally useless.
