[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] skywalker01:
But did it again with the very next sentence !

1. that's not the point and an obvious and deliberate offense as well

2. I must have said this at least a hundred of times and even in my last post: this is a developer thread only ! Your statement would be completely fine and MAYBE even true in a general Q&A section of the forum (where most of the posts here really belong) but here it is as misplaced as offending as it could be.

Your comments are pointless and even prohibited in a developer thread and an affront to ALL readers here, developers and non-developers alike. I don't know if you have a trauma from childhood being raised overly didactic or something like that but yet I have to "teach" you a personal lesson on forum rules.

Besides from the fact that you just broke about half of all the forum rules with your insulting comments and due to the facts that you are not the only reader here and that you are not the "director" or even moderator of the thread who tells everybody what to write or not there is another important fact about developer threads:

while it is OK for non-developers to READ the posts in a developer thread non-developers in general are NOT supposed to post there at all. There are only two acceptable exceptions for posts of non-developers, the major one is if they actively contribute to developing and the other is publishing a NEW ROM. And I can't see that your posts are related to development or somehow helpful at all or that you did develop something here and could be called a developer.

Here is the complete rule for reference:

"Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A."

Find proof of general prohibition of any questions in developer threads here:

You (illicitly) asked why I wrote the post, simple answer: my post/answer was directly related to one of those exceptions above, namely the post of Blumdum who thought he has found a glitch in my latest CM build. This is all about active testing and therefore contributing to development. So concluding as a matter of fact your posts are the only ones here to be completely redundant and rule breaking while mine and Blumdum's are perfectly rule compliant.

If you don't believe me and can't find the appropriate rules in the general section of the forum just look in the right place and read all developer thread rules for yourself here:

And the general mantra of xda development is also something you MUST read before posting in any developer thread:

You also asked why you should better delete your post: apart from striking a false note in general just read the rules above and you might find the answer eventually.

If you think I am the one to strike a false note this is just another proof of your common misconceptions. After all this is just an appropriate reaction to your inappropriate action.

So with all these rules letting non-developers post here questions nevertheless and not ban them instantly to the general Q&A section despite that forum rules and even answering their questions just shows how tolerant, benevolent and supportive xda developers usually are. And offending them for that is not a good idea at all. You will see in the next section.

This might be true for all the others here but not for you. As I just explained your kind of posts aren't allowed here anyway, but I fear you didn't get the point yet and will do it again nevertheless. As I also just explained non-development related posts are usually tolerated up to a certain extent but not if you go beyond the pale. And you just did that with both of your latest posts. One offense would be a forgivable lapse and I wouldn't have much a problem with that. But answering with a second insult and saying in the very same post that you didn't want to offend is pretty much dishonest actually. And I will give one more of my infamous metaphors so that you might get the point at last:

It's like firing a bomb and claiming you didn't want to hurt somebody.

So I will try another approach. As you also stated you already know all that and think my technical explainations are superfluous. So I see no point why I should support you anymore or answer any of your prospective posts. And that's exactly what I am going to do, just completely ignore you. And I leave it to all the others here if they are going to do the same or not.
