[About XDA developers] JimmyMcGee:
I thought I did. But I can be more direct if you please.

Moderators need your help. Which is why I asked for people to report problems they say. That being said, we are always evaluating forums to see if we need to allot more moderator resources to a particular forum. Again, we evaluate reported posts that come in to see if a forum is "getting out of hand." So it behooves you again to report posts. Also, you can contact the Administrators or the Moderators. And sometimes we do see with our own forum browsing that a forum needs help, but we can't be everywhere. We are constantly trying to improve XDA, and we always recommend your feedback.

FEEDBACK:

Admins know about this thread to show them OPs post.

The

only

reason i have picked up on this is because we are already speaking to the Admins about these issues, well.. something in relation to this issue.

i think it would be wise to place Forum Specific mods in the Android Rom Development.. for ALL devices, its the only way to stop this "trolling".

This kind of behaviour is not acceptable, its already got out of hand, and i aint even a Mod to know that - so who evers role it is to be in the Android forums, aint doing a good one :rolleyes:

[About XDA developers] doktornotor:
Ok. 60 mods for 4M users? Failure in the recruitment dept. for sure.

And if your way if encouraging users to report posts means the crippled report post functionality - sorry, you really do NOT encourage reporting, you do exactly the opposite. (Worse yet, you actually like not getting the reports, as the now closed thread about this issue confirms.

Signal/noise ratio extremely bad ATM, sorry.
[About XDA developers] conantroutman:
It certainly does not discourage people from reporting these issues. It merely asks that you distinguish between a minor or serious issue and report it in the appropriate way.

Serious issue - Use the report post button.

Minor Issue - PM your forum specific moderator.

That is in no way, a "crippled" system. It is more efficient and allows us to take action on the serious issues much quicker than before.
[About XDA developers] doktornotor:
LOL. Yeah, thanks for proving my point. Not to mention - quite a couple of people have already confirmed on the original thread that it does discourage them pretty heavily - but of course sticking your head into the sand rocks here, so lets just lock the thread :rolleyes:)

Once again:

- Go recruit more moderators (60/4,000,000 == absolute fail!)

- Once done - go and uncripple the report code, i.e. - go use the darned DB information you already have in some way. Yeah really, you already have the information who is your forum-specific moderator, so use it! Oh really, I do mean it, use it - do not force people to dig into some ultrastupid Google Docs document with moderators list (why on earth you cannot use HTML at least is a question in itself). I really do not have time for your "distinguish" games. Do make use of what you have to make the process efficient, not to make it suck like hell as you have done.

:rolleyes:

P.S. And - while looking @ my PM. We do NOT need some nonsensical Like/+1 buttons or any of that ridiculous social-networking bubble crap, really. Definitely not until you sort out the above and replace the search with something working that does not confuse people like hell and gives them relevant search results.
[About XDA developers] github:
I agree, that having to PM a moderator several times a day is not ideal.

Personal Example

: At least over in the EVO 4G development forums, you have several [Q] posted daily despite a sticky saying not to and update rules sticky saying not to do such. On top of that, you have the flaming, personal attacks, and other hostile users daily as well.

I know out of three mods, I've only ever received a response or acknowledge from one. And that one is the only one I've ever seen take action to a thread that gets reported by myself and others. I don't always expect a response, but it does add a bit of a personal connection.

It became so out of hand, that I just gave up and had my main developer account deleted and I moved my work else where.
[About XDA developers] abn75:
Wow 60 mods. Hum a bit short there don't you think. A forum this size needs allot more than that, especially if the admin want it to be " the premiere android site'

[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
I can't speak for the admins of the site, but I do know that managing a large group of moderators is not easy...the overhead is already huge...adding a significant amount more may help solve one issue, but others then arise from this.

Trust me, we are currently in discussion about refining the system...please just be patient.
[About XDA developers] juzz86:
Calm down.

The site grew very big, very quickly. With such explosive growth, a shortage of moderators was expected. While I agree it's frustrating at times, it's temporary. A moderation drive has just concluded, and some vacancies are sure to be filled out of this, which will at least relieve some of the pressure.

You will never see, nor would you be able to maintain, the level of professionalism we all see as ideal for XDA. There are too many users, too many recruits, and too many variances in opinion and viewpoint. It's not going to happen. Likewise, no one user will ever be 100% happy with the current setup. Just be happy you have a place to come and source the exceptional material on offer.

Also, your first post should never be in a Development forum. Ever. The '10-post Dev forum' rule is the best thing ever, because it gives you at least ten minutes before people come in and start 'thanking' the dev or filling the thread with idle chatter, threats and pathetic arguments.

If you truly believe your first post should be in a Dev forum, you definitely possess the nouse to do some charity work and help ten poor souls in the Q&A forum first. Earn your stripes.

[About XDA developers] abn75:
Refine all you want, but honestly as long as the mods/ admins allow users to post ad they have been, ie derogatory statements so called devs posts mods named "rapist", and using illegal drug names for their themes mods etc , users and respectable devs will continue to leave. Oh i know report them, wait a few weeks month what have you for someone to get around it.

sent from my bolt
[About XDA developers] RoboCuz:
I would like to weigh in, as a new user, but long time lurker. I did not like the 10 post rule, as I had some things I wished to post directly to a couple of threads of ROMs that I had been using, after thoroughly researching and finding relevant background information. I was frustrated that I could not post where obviously appropriate, and had to post a question on a general question forum instead of on the obvious thread that I should have.

I see the value in a n00b not getting to post, but for someone like me that has some experience, it was frustrating. However, after giving some thought, I went around, and looked for questions that I could answer, ways I could quickly contribute some value. In hindsight I could have done a better job, and probably done it quicker.

Anyway, I might have missed it, but in looking around as a new user desiring to post, it wasn't obvious to me that was a useful way to pass my 10 posts...I was thinking I needed to wait until I had 10 good reasons to post stuff in a general forum, so I quietly waited...and then I had the epiphany.

I guess this long post is just me trying to point out, it might be useful to guide some of the slightly less n00bish but new users to a more useful path of trying to answer a few questions possibly, to get their post count up :) It certainly would have caused this user to have that epiphany earlier, and maybe been less frustrated. For what it's worth, after my epiphany, I have no problem with the 10 post rule.

Cheers

[About XDA developers] juzz86:
To be fair, I know the themes and mods you speak of and yes, I agree, not 100% user friendly. Sitting back on your laurels and letting it happen isn't the answer to seeing XDA becoming more productive, though.

At least if you report, you've done 'all you can' to help. Not much, but something :)
[About XDA developers] nrfitchett4:
and it is this attitude by the older members that gives the forum the reputation as not user friendly. Both noobs and experts alike could do better in that regard.

Gotta disagree. Minor issues are not being dealt with at all on the forums I visit and quickly get out of control. Lost 2 devs in the last week due to it.

You and controutman are 2 of the most active mods I've seen on xda. I don't know that I've even seen our general mod even post or address any issue. I think that might be the problem. Not to mention that only 1 mod in any forum means that 90% of the time, you have no mod.

Completely disagree. I don't think this forum has grown that rapidly. It has been around since winmo smartphones. The focus has just shifted.

Now general forums are full of custom ROM related questions specific to one ROM (and usually not listed in the title). Maybe there needs to be a subsection of the dev section for questions related to specific ROMs. I've always thought that the most appropriate place for ROM related questions is that ROM. It just seems like the "experts" don't want to help the "noobs" out anymore. Yes it gets tiring answering the same question over and over again, but berating every new member for not being able to search a huge forum correctly is not the answer.

That is the problem. People that don't have your common sense will hit that 10 post limit so fast, it is not really a hinderance.

For instance:

"lol 10char" is such a common phrase these days, I think people are using ctrl "v" do paste it on every thread...

I think the biggest problem with xda is that the smartphone community has gotten more immature. Before it was full of business users and techies that could afford a 500 dollar toy. Now everyone has one (including my 7 and 10 year olds) which means a much younger user base which to me are immature. And some of them are our best devs, but get their feelings hurt much easier.
[About XDA developers] JimmyMcGee:
I agree here, and this is something we have to deal with. I started on this Forum Back with WM6, so I've seen the change. And it definitely has caused a new user management learning curve. We are learning as we are going. It's not perfect, but we are not just sitting around doing nothing.

I wonder if I can solicit hard answers.

How many mods should we have?

How do we manage that many mods to ensure similar reactions from Mods?

How do we manage mods managers?

How do we implement this without having a large bureaucracy that slows down response time even more?

These are some of the questions we are dealing with. Believe me, I don't want anyone to thing we are ignoring their concerns, in fact many of us mods have the same concerns, but there are no easy answers. We are working through them Anyone is free to PM me with their concerns.

Also, you, as members of the forum are integral to the success of this site, if you see no action from your assigned Mod, please, let us know.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
You could root and flash a rooted stock ROM. Failing that, you could search for instructions on how to flash what's called an RUU using the HTC Sync software.

Maybe start here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/

Just know that if you do update to 2.3/Gingerbread and ever want to root, you may not be able to as there is no root method as of yet.

BTW, the Evo shipped with 2.1/Eclair IIRC.

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
umm you send HTC emails just like for the bootloader unlock. Thats the most you can do bud.

And then they will send you a generic reply back stating that they will release it when they have it ready and will comply with the GPL rules. They have a decent amount of time to comply if i remember correctly. With the EVO4G we usually got stuff in a lil over a month or two if i had to guess off the top of my head.

it'll be on their developer section of HTC's site when its released.

Ok, pop the battery out of your phone and hold down the volume down butten and plug the USB to your computer. itll bring you into recovery mode.

Itll reflash your system to stock. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo....11 - xda-developers&txt=ED1 Full Factory Tar Then do the OTA upgrade from verizon, itll update you to EE4.
