I didn't read any rules and regulations in the forum that user not 90 days old then he cannot make any request...you are XDA'S recognized contributor so this kind of comments doesn't suits you...[/QUOTE]

Yes I understand that I may have misinterpreting the request.

But as it read:

Just tired from thread title 6.0.1,now i want to see 7.1.2 do something guys...

That's all that was there. No thank you for this ROM, of which you posted in it's thread, just something that could be viewed as a demand.

Whether that was the intent or not, it did not look like a request, it looked like a demand.

i want to see 7.1.2 do something guys

Perhaps it was mistranslated so it was posted out of context. Perhaps.

Based on that I was told to be tolerant. It's not lack of tolerance at this point, it's frustration.

The Dev team spent a great deal of their own time to create this. For free.

When something does not work for someone, I go looking for solutions. This thread is turning into nothing but requests, and ETAs.

Yes, the Dev did ask for suggestions. Because he is gracious. He stated that he thought 3.7 would be that last, but he's cranking away at more, and building another ROM.

So obviously I need to take time away and settle down. I will be looking in, but not replying.

And hopefully I won't login one day and find the thread closed and the ROM gone because the Dev team got tired of maintaining a thread that was nothing but give me give me, and I want I want.

I think what a lot of people forget is that this is not a "make my phone neat & kewl" place.

As implied by the name this is technically a Developers forum/community.

Now what does that mean? Well first off it means that there is an expectation that if you are here then you want to customize your device but rather than just installing something that someone packaged you want to understand how it works and maybe even enhance it yourself.

When I first came here with a Blue Angel it was a different environment. PDA Phones were not embraced by the general public because of the expense and complexity (I paid over $400 for my BA). A $400 phone 4 years ago was expensive, today the Tilt is $300 after rebates but with inflation & the rise in the cost of other devices and the fact that there are other sources out there giving them away for $150 our neat bit of kit has become popular with mainstream users.

Now we have a flood of new users who are asking not "How can I do this myself" but more like "Give me the quick fix" without caring to understand the process. See if you read the threads then you get to experience the learning process, you see how the issues were investigated and confirmed. Then you get to watch the different attempts at resolution and learn why some failed while others worked. That is called Development.

The NooB backlash is coming from users who have walked in the development shoes and is directed mainly at those who don't care for the journey but just want the end result or destination.

As a Development Forum we are just as much (if not more) about the journey. I've read so many comments like "I don't have time to read all of the threads" or "I don't care how it works, just that it does". These very statements are contrary to the heart & soul of XDA-Devs and that is why the backlash is so strong.

Let me be very clear on this: IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE JOURNEY THEN YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

XDA-Devs is about developers & hackers helping each other and working together to get the most out of our devices by understanding them better than most.

XDA-Devs is not about helping everyone who wants a "Kewl bit of kit" make their phone better than the guy next to him.

Now do we go kicking users off who never contribute anything, NO. We tolerate it to an extent. Where the toleration ends is when these users start diluting the usefulness of the forum by repeating the same questions over and over again.

You ask us to understand your position. Well if you want to benefit from our experience and time then I think it is only fair that you understand our position.
