[Galaxy S II Android Development] GaboWinter:
Just a personal opinion about some recent posts...

Okay guys, first of all, since partially this post gonna be off-topic, long and a personal opinion, sorry if bother to someone.

Now, I've been on this thread and kernel only two weeks, I'm glad of discover an awesome kernel, developer and community, as I stated before this is a very friendly thread (reminds me to the RR thread back on the old days :p) but, sadly (really, really sadly) it's filled with repeated or non-sense questions, bug reports without logs and some off-topics. I'm writing this because I see some users angry and tired for this posts and with reason, this is a development thread on a development forum so, why exists posts like that? Well, first of all because we are giving opportunity, why I say this? Because many of us answer that repeated questions, some for trolling, some for achieve one more thanks on the counter, some for tell the user that stop to do that and still give the answer :eek: It isn't the best way ignore that questions? Just at the beggining...always gonna come someone and give the answer, then the user that ask thinks: "Even if my question it's repeated always someone come and answer to me so I'm continue to do that".

I include a reference to the rules on many posts but I'm not gonna change anything on the behavior of the users, that must do it by the community, first of all I wanna quote to @mf2112 on his thread Dev Thread "Spam":

What you think? Keep it for you, don't post it here please, because we're creating more off-topic :) I just wanna try to create a thought on all of you.

Another quote from @mf2112:

I think this is awesome! If every dev do that the mods can have a better guidance about what it's "allowed" in some particular thread, that brings the opportunity to just report the people who don't follow the guideline.

And really, this isn't just for noob-hate or something like that, everyone was a noob once, myself was one at the beggining of this year (even if my date of join to XDA is Aug 2011 I become totally active in January) this is just because the rules are the rules, every community has rules and it's for the good of everyone.

Obviously, this things about rules and guidelines must be decided by @Dorimanx, I don't tell to him what to do and whatever be his descition I will continue supporting and learning in this thread and from this community but I think it's important that everyone have the same on mind, if anyone wants continue with some off-topics then must accept the off-topics of everyone, on the other side if the people get angry by the off-topics then report the user and done, but be sure that you are fair.

There are another post by @mf2112... I Will Post Your Question In The Dev Thread IF... there you can find the following:

In a happy world all the posts include that information (maybe not all), unfortunately this one it isn't, at least until now, but maybe we can do our best to follow that guide and then contribute to have the whole circle (an awesome kernel, community, developer and thread).

Thanks for read and please don't answer to this (if you wanna do it) on the thread, just send me a PM.
