The problem we have is with society having too much feelings. When I started back on 4.2 I spent almost a month reading before I even made an account to post, because I knew what was expected, and I had my ass lit up by someone for not reading the op, at first I thought to myself this guy is a ****, but then quickly realized why people are like that.

We are all part of this community, and with as large as it is, and with as fast as some threads move, people need to read and search before posting the same redundant thing.

I know I have more people on here that dislike me versus like me, and I'm okay with that because sometimes people need rough love in life, I know I do.

Granted if I see that someone is a new member, I TRY to throw them a bone every now and again, but its not them to blame, its senior members that have been around that need to be force fed information, because they think their time is more important than other people.

If you do nothing but force feed people and breed them into the expectation that they don't need to read/search, hell half the time even think, what do you think this place will turn into? Why do you think some dev teams have moved say from this place for other outlets, or stopped sharing right out? They don't want to have to read fifty times a day that "I flashed this ROM and I have a black camera, what do!?! Followed by eight hundred crying emojis.

People report issues on dirty flash, on custom kernels, they just do whatever the hell they want anymore, and its annoying. Its annoying to the people that respect the devs, or the people around trying to help people when they can, because its a strait lack of respect for anyone when they act this way.

You say eliteist, I say competent users, this isnt Facebook, and I know I don't care about peoples feelings on here, people need to check their emotions and feelings at the door, there's no place on the internet for people acting like babies.

You get beat up a bit in a thread, you realize you were acting stupid, and you move on and learn from it.

I am an asshole, but I can be the biggest help to anyone if people are respectful, and go about things the right way. I have people send me PM's weekly about questions whom I've never talked to before and I do everything I can to help them. Because they are not acting like fools clogging up threads. It might be okay if you follow one thread, but who does? I follow a lot because development interests me, so I don't want to read ten pages of the same question in fifteen different threads.

Ignoring people does not make them go away, it makes them ask again, spoonfeeding does not work because then people become accustomed to it. If this keeps up, then this site will become a complete cesspool that devs drop a ROM and run. (Funny how devs dont post nearly as much as they used to huh? This place used to be a real community) And if you don't believe that, you're either lying to yourself, or too dense to notice it.

I know this is a wall of text, but I figured it would be nice to see a real post from an "elitist" on the matter.

This all being said, sorry varun for the ot, if anyone would like to converse about this matter further, please feel free to shoot me a pm.
