Re: On Hoax Threads...

Great to see how fast they got rid of that last hoax PR1.2 thread just now,

fair play mods, keep up the great work!

Re: On Hoax Threads...

I did a rather excessive One-touch-delete-and-ban on that thread because i didn't have mod rights in the forum it was posted in (this one) and it was a first post and obviously therefore a troll. The most sure way to deal with this problem is for those who have enough experience and reputation in this forum to step forward and volunteer to be mods. A mod's lot is not a happy one at t.m.o. because there's a very strong counter-control movement, and the attrition is high. I don't mod N900 anymore because i just couldn't do my job and keep my sanity: it wasn't worth the headache.

PS This thread should have been posted in Community. The OP is not helping the problem...

Oops, my mistake. Go ahead and move it if you want.

Fortunately, the cooler side usually prevails and I report the thread as a hoax. The mods have been doing a decent job in deleting threads once they are reported. In any case, by not replying, other activity on this forum will bury the hoax thread.

Obviously, this is a dramatic update, and I am among those who are really looking forward to get it. However, I would much rather wait a bit longer for it if the result is a better quality release... one that results in a more reliable and responsive phone.

You may want to try decaf. Why stress so much? Do what I do, just ignore them like you ignore an Ad on a computer without Adblock. :-)
