Rockbox General > Rockbox General Discussion
Problems with the TOS
zajacattack:
Um, how is this board supposed to be user friendly when I can't even voice my opinion about the rules? You are again locking Rockbox within your circle of people and blocking outsiders from having anything to do with it.

Then, why are people told to not post in New Ports threads. I see people trying to offer help, and they offer their own, plausible ideas. Rather than being flexible and able to experiment, the Rockbox developers and mods simply get angry again and block that person.
Llorean:
I'm reopening this, for the moment, with the warning that:
1) Stay respectful (everyone)
2) Stay objective. No conjectures about conspiracies, no screaming.
Keep this discussion reasonable, but bear in mind that locking it is an option if it gets out of hand, which is where it looked like it was going.

Care to give me an example?

Here, someone talked about a port being "cool". I understand that this is not very useful; however, after being told how to start a port, the post was locked! How can he be of any help now? He has to open a new thread and may get yelled at for doing that because of "repeating yourself" or "double posting".

Now, it did not belong on the Rockbox forums; however, instead of being politely told where he could get help or where he could post it, he was told "Please respect our guidelines." How does that help him? IT DOESN'T! NOT ONE BIT!

This is actually a very poor example. Certainly, the person is asking for help, but it appears that his problem is not Rockbox related. Because this is a Rockbox forum, questions about unrelated problems are really not appropriate here. He is not just told "Please respect our guidelines", but is also told that this is not supported here. Since when is it our responsibility to be someone else's Google? A search for "Sansa forums" would have taken him to the proper places to ask: Anythingbutipod or the official Sandisk forums.
