Forum rules aside, I think part of the joke is that his question is entirely better suited elsewhere. Ability to post in the dev section or not. Wouldn't be the first time a nub stumbled in here asking a basic question and was told it isn't the place. Also, many people could be reported in here, such as those posting pictures with homophobic / racist remarks involved. It has happened for less. I do not take it upon myself to report / mod / try and direct people on how they should post ... if someone is offended then they should take proper measures to let it be known.

You have a ROM related question? Want people to actually see it and offer assistance? Post accordingly. El Smurfo was just doing what had been done in the past. Maybe word got out that 'the good guys' are now posting in the 'Off-Topic' thread and so it is an entirely appropriate place to post and ask questions. Its not. You'd have a better chance achieving your 10 posts and asking such a simple question in the Dev section. See how that pans out. Like in the actual thread. People with low post counts usually lurk and read ... some of these nubs with low counts (and unable to post in the dev section) do neither. They signed up and asked a few questions and left. Only to return when some simple and basic problem arises, only to continue to do it all wrong.

Q&A is not locked, nor is the General section as a whole. And Off-Topic chatter seems like the last place to take your ROM specific questions. There is a reason why people get 'flamed' for asking stupid questions, or not going through the simple motions to rectify their issues. He probably didn't even try a fresh install. His vagueness would suggest as much. People get flamed for less. For the most part the people do it in an attempt to 'teach' someone to take accountability. Apparently the 'Off-Topic' section is the new place to ask simple and stupid questions. Why should they be exempt of all of that? They shouldn't. And El Smurfo was right. Go ask your stupid questions in, at least, the right areas.

And this thread, where Tejas commented and posted a picture of something he cooked up one night, which he has done before (shocking, I know, but you wouldn't know as you just stormed in here). I know you later said it was in 'fun' or whatever, it seemed anything but. A cheap shot? Maybe. Unnecessary none the less. We enjoy hearing what he cooks, whether we like the ingredients or not. As goes the appearance. You didn't really come across as 'playful.' Nor does 'TheIceCreamMan' who just shows up talking ****. Posting pictures involving words that have gotten people warned or banned in the past. We aren't usually the reporting type. Hell, your retard Olympics pic netted someone a ban in the past. Were you warned? Banned? I think not. Joking and chiding can all be done in good fun, but kicking the door open and unleashing your proverbial dickishness will not be tolerated.

El Smurfo could have been a bit more 'sincere' in his 'this isn't the place,' but it isn't the place. Then again, this thread has died down for various reasons. Used to be for fun, now you have people that have seemingly been spited by some of the posters and have come here to 'seek revenge.' Revenge of against the 'nerds.'

Disclaimer: I've been drinking. And this was from my phone. All spelling errors and the such aside. You are in the wrong. Understand that. At least post some stupid / funny / partially crude photos.

And as far as the 'trolling' goes; some might say there is an art to it. Being a whiny brat or name calling or just straight talking **** is not the same. Just because someone responds does not make for a successful trolling mission. At least try. At least bring something to the table. New posters are not frowned upon ... so long as you do it right.
