I do want to know about legitimate problems with the phone but having it all on one thread would help everyone out to know they could click on ONE thread to find all problems and of course the complainers would have somewhere to vent without pages and pages of the same complaint
Or maybe make a poll

I think the short answer is no.
Depends, can complaining about the complainers be moved there too?
Telling everyone to search would kind of suck if all issues are moved into one big thread. The default search is just titles IIRC.
Actually, putting all of the complaints, problems, and questions regarding this phone into ONE thread would make things 1000 times harder. The key is putting these threads in the appropriate 'section'. Questions, complaints, or basically ANYTHING not related to the development of the phone belongs in the 'general' section. Its keeps the forum organized and helps people find what they're looking for a lot faster. If you were to put everything into one thread, you're basically eliminating the 'search' feature, which first searches thread titles.
A moderator could really clean shop in here. I could pay a mod to delete about half the thread created today. People who are new to android, and/or this forum clearly don't understand what XDA is about... I know I ask what may seem like dumb questions, but I also help others who are genuinely seeking help, but if I are crying over the Internet about your phone (which some on here do not even own), well I could get banned for telling you what I think of you.
A new forum section would make more sense.

Vibrant whining section? Now that gets my vote.

There are always a select few that just love to complain and act like the few people that have their same issues equals "everyone". I've seen it everywhere and right now, it's more tiring than anything.
Refer them to my post!
LOL! On one hand it is great to have all these new people excited about Android and purchasing the devices.
On the other hand it sure would be nice if they could join a couple of forums and put all the "General" discussion on the other forums and come here to discuss development, modding, and themeing.... But, it just ain't going to happen!

Obviously it's useless!!!! HAHA that's the point! And I'm ok with everyone saying that it is bad as all the others, because at least we can agree that the others are utter garbage as well.

Haha, this thread is obviously just meant to poke fun, but as you can see, some people just take this so seriously sometimes...it's rather amusing
This thread will get closed, as it does in fact accomplish nothing. I just wanted, if only for a short period of time, to bring into light how much effort people put in to complaining around here. No, it is most certainly not everybody. But for crying out loud, the general section is beginning to look like an activist corner.
An outsider would come to our forum, see all those threads I posted...and probably just think of how much of an ungrateful bunch we are. I mean people have every right to their opinion, but seriously, there are enough threads to start a "hate" section.

A forum is a gathering place for opinions. A lot of people are pretty pissed at Samsung and are sharing their opinions. Just because you don't agree with them does not make them wrong.

please quote which post i said their opinions are "wrong"....in fact..if you check my last post, i said that eeveryone is entitled to their opinions
HOWEVER, its not fair to the people who are making due with what we have and having fun making it better, to have their posts absolutely buried by 12+ threads complaining about LITERALLY the same issues. Its one thing to have an opinion, but its another to jam it down everyones throat in hopes that everyone will follow you.
Does more than one person have the same opinion? of course! But organize it. consolidate it. dont drown the forum in negativity. at that point its just sloppy *****ing.
Cool story bro.

specially in the vibrant general since theres no froyo, theres like 560yu4506340693069340693406934 of GIMME FROYO **** U SAMSUNG THREADS.
I appreciate that fact that we finally have some moderating going on these forums, but why are threads being closed, deleted with no reason?
Some threads, its obvious there's trollin' flaming etc.
but other's i just don't see why it is, and so i suggest to you mods that before closing the threads, you could say why it was, because if you just close it. People won't know what the thread had wrong with it, and may continue doing that...
Sorry for making a whole thread on this, but idk which mod is doing these since mmelo is gone for a while... so idk who to PM.
Sorry if this is in the Wrong section, there's no section that says "complains/suggestions/talk"
I like your suggestion kid!

I'm curious, what threads have been shut down that should not have been? We absolute don't need "coming soon" and "OMG HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?!?!" threads in the development section, and there have been quite a few of those recently.
Duplicate post.
Todays thread was closed for failure to comply with rules, failure to act upon multiple omission requests and not responding to the pm from the mod in reference to these things.

The first thread was made over a month ago.
The second, thats not the kinds of threads I'm talking about
I'm not sure why XDA moderates the way they do but I'm sure they have a good reason for it. It seems it would be easier to set the forum to purge posts after x number of pages and then just close the problematic post with a reason instead of just deleting it.
As of right now there are 252 pages of posts, I'm sure ATLEAST 225 of those pages could be deleted and no one would care. If it was set to auto purge the locked thread would slowly hit say the x'th page and then be deleted automatically. Everyone is happy in the end.

I kinda agree with this. My comment is that the moderators do not have consistency in their actions. This makes it hard on people who are trying to understand what is acceptable and what is not. E.G. If X is not acceptable than that should ALWAYS be the case, but it is usually not.
Also I do agree with the IDEA to "Sunset" threads into an old archive. This would make the site less "Weighty" and for those who want to do research, they could by accessing a dedicated search tool only for that archive.
Moderators close threads because there are too many people on the site.
Head over to another android message board and post there. If enough people do that, then the moderators here won't have to worry about deleting threads and you posters can still have as many threads as you want.

Like all forums XDA has a number of trolls. Some this behavior is intentional some of it not, sometimes its just down to language differences.
Part of my day job involves spending my time on programming forums where I come across troll behavior. One of things that has helped me to ignore this and not get worked up I learned from this presentation by Nicole Sullivan (aka Stubbornella).
Its well worth watching it and has helped me keep my blood pressure low.

So where do you suggest he post? In the general section of Iphone?
Be realistic. I realize many people here are so anal about posting in wrong forums and always go about ' out of topic. Delete thread please'. Didn't know Internet had such draconian rules. And it seem to me people just get kicks from flaming all the 'noobs' in xda talking about its 'former glory', without noobs .
Now I understand why people shy away from Android and prefer the simpler iphone. It's because they won't face criticism for being new to the area. Remember we are all once a noob. People should be more helpful instead of so hostile over here.

I didn't suggest posting anywhere as the rules say you can't use the market until you have been a member for a year. I did the correct thing by reporting it.
The reason I posted is to let the other people that help keep the forum clean know,that I had reported, hence saving the moderators from dealing with multiple reports.
Furthermore, have you stopped to consider the op might be a scammer?(Apologies op) and that is why rules exist, in order to minimise the risk of such occurrences.
If you have a complaint about me, then feel at liberty to report me. If not, then you know what to do.

writing "reported" is inflammatory, so I use ©®™ so that the other people that help out around here know that it has been reported, for the reason I previously stated.

I never said OP was absolutely right. My point being people here flaming for every small things. Sure go ahead and report the thread, no need to add insult to injury and go about being all sarcastic. Just let the moderators do their job.
Don't you think applying ' law and order' is a bit far fetch here? I do not believe OP has any ill intents other than having a question.
Sometimes I don't get the moderators or some forummers. No offense but I feel that there is nothing wrong with the having discussions about things related to s3 in the GENERAL section. Just like why I don't understand why the thread regarding sunlight readability of s3 was closed. Sometimes I come into this forum and feel that it's quite dead, with only very few threads that are alive. Many threads on comparison of Iphone and s3 were closed. I mean why can't we post apple news here, we s3 users can discuss about how superior our s3 are to the iphone! its quite troublesome to switch to and forth from iphone section to s3 section if we wanna discuss about both phones isn't it. I
I might be wrong but I do not believe having more threads and discussions, even those that may be slightly out of topic, will cost a whole lot of bandwidth . Why not make the general section more lively other than sticking with the!'jelly bean discussion' and 'jb leaks bugs' thread alone?
