Statements like "Why do we entertain these threads", "Too lazy to look", "If you'd do some research"
- I really have a bone to pick with a lot of people on here, and their objective and offensive way of trying to be "accomodating" to us newbies on here.
It seems I see and hear a lot of people spouting off at fellow members because they ask a question that may have been posted here several times, but we newbies, either cannot find the answer, due to having about a million posts to go through, or we just don't know how to fully search the site yet. Do us new people a favor and cut us some slack, and stop the arrogant comments back to us.
Christ, you're supposed to be supporting your own, not insulting them or their intelligence.
Posted Via Z1002-09-14 06:26 AMLike 28 - I agree with some folks that using the search function would cut down in the number of repetitive thread.
That said, it irritates me to no end to see people making the comments you mentioned. I'm sorry if they've done that to you.02-09-14 06:33 AMLike 4 - Ya I see too much if it.. and really the search option at Crackberry / Mobile Nations is really not the best and it can sometimes be difficult to find answers you are looking for.
Nevertheless, a post like this occasionally can be a polite reminder to respect other members here.
Posted Via my Kick @ss BlackBerry Z3002-09-14 06:45 AMLike 6 - That being said, most times a simple Google search finds the answer faster than posting the question.
I agree that it's not nice to be rude. Sometimes though we have people that bend over backwards here to help people that won't even read the previous post, yet alone an already active thread on the very same subject.
Some would argue that being insanely lazy also qualifies as being rude in a forum like this.
Posted via CB1002-09-14 06:56 AMLike 6 - Some common issues really can be located and even resolved by doing a search. Not just here, by a general Google search. BlackBerryEnthusiast you are referring in particular to a new thread where you reported back to the community about a conversation you had with a Virgin Rep. The reason you got a bit of a razzing is that we get those "reports" all the time and 99% of the time they are groundless. Personally I'm always interested in these threads but more often than not they're driven by CSR who really are trying their best to get the client off the phone. So, when you were so insistent that we pay attention to your thread, well, that didn't help.
You're not the only one, BTW. "BerryFlow" (considered reliable) recently Stated Emphatically that T-Mo was now pushing 10.2 to customers. The Blogger even went so far as to name the very specific version of the 100-3 that would be getting it. Well, every single thing in the Blog was wrong (and yet to be rescinded). It wasn't a T-mo push -- it was someone else's -- and it went to non-T-mo phones, and even the model break down was wrong. Those on T-Mo who did load it, wrecked their wifi-calling and are trying to figure how to undo the damage.
So when you posted your thread quoting a single Virgin rep as if it were fact (that BBerry was going to stop making phones)... well... you need a bit more proof than that. A bit less credulity would have helped.02-09-14 07:02 AMLike 2 - That being said, most times a simple Google search finds the answer faster than posting the question.

I am not one of the rude/ condescending posters - I just answered a question "what is a battery pull? "...i was nice :-) I am no expert either (usually repeating advice I got on here to begin with)

But many years ago I trained apprentices and I find it is best to talk someone through something, even if what I post is terrifically boring to those in the know....as once someone understands why they have to do something, as well as how they have to do it, it very often leads to then thinking more for themselves cos they understand more
Posted via CB1002-09-14 09:09 AMLike 3 - I am with you OP. BB10 is going to gain traction and get more and more new users every day, there will be more and more newbie questions. It helps no one to be negative about it.
Keep calm and stay positive.

And, on a larger scale we have become a society made lazy by "social media" because we don't feel like looking a little deeper. I'm with the raggers.02-09-14 10:36 AMLike 4 - Good for you. Keep being ignorant. That attitude will get you a lot in life (Sarcasm).
Posted Via Z1002-09-14 10:41 AMLike 0 - I for one am not very search engine savvy, and when I am the results are less than beneficial because of all the off-topic responses or mis-titled threads. On most, if not all of the various forums I participate in, "Search 'is not' my friend".
However, amidst all the search mayhem I've either witnessed or experienced, not once has anyone offered advice on how to search correctly or more efficiently, the offended forum veterans simply b***h and admonish, then go on their merry way. Nothing changes.
Perhaps a sticky or some other guide on effective searches should be permanently posted whereas the cognoscente can direct their inferiors and simply leave it at that.02-09-14 11:00 AMLike 0 - Waste some space somewhere else. Be productive for a change. Why do we entertain these threads? If YOU already know everything, why the Christ are YOU here?
Posted Via Z10Bonnie Bonzai likes this.02-09-14 11:15 AMLike 1 - Why is this in Z10 section?
Or moving this thread to general discussion would also offend you, maybe you will start another thread asking "why do people move threads that are opened in wrong sections"?
And honestly, CB is probably the LEAST insulting forum out there with most helpful members. If anything the site suffers from lack of strict moderation of not stickying certain threads, like latest leaks, etc.. There are so many things that get lost because of random threads that get 5-10 replies and then eventually burying more important threads.
In addition there really isn't that much to discuss on Blackberry, it is a very limited platform, honestly Blackberry Wiki was an excellent concept which got abandoned. During glory days of BB, BlackberryForums.com was great at maintaining a wiki where you pretty much got answers to everything.
Have you ever been to XDA-Developers? Not only they don't tell you to search, most of the time if they think the answer is easy to find they don't even reply to you. However, to give them a credit where they deserve I must mention they keep a very tidy house with detailed wiki articles and each device having their own section with details.
So, having been on this site for many years, I don't think this site is full of arrogant people who keep saying the things you mentioned on your post above.02-09-14 11:17 AMLike 4 - Uh, let's see. In life I decided to chased my dream in film making -- now have two Oscar noms, an Oscar win and a Golden Globe win. I make 7 figures a year. And now have three TV shows in development. So my attitude -- "please be sure brain is in gear before engaging mouth" -- has paid off I believe. I have seen colleagues fire Ivy League grads who can ace test but can't handle the real world outside their Facebook world. And seen scrappy kids who pay attention and are serious -- even without a degree -- make it big. In the real world, having it together is important. In this virtual, phoney world... whatever.02-09-14 11:18 AMLike 0

Post stuff that's relative to what this site is supposed to be about.
Helping. People.
Geniuses, or know it alls need not reply...
Why, if you guys out there who know it all, seen these posts a thousand times, blah,blah,blah....come back here to bash the new people?
Seriously. Get a life.
