I have been traversing this forum from a couple of days and I've realized that this forum is a little too messy. I think the mods should take a notice and take some steps to clean it up a little. Sticky threads, like those in XDA forums, or something like that should be introduced. Also every other thread is some sort of a news headline from some other website or forum. Really is that needed? "One of 8 Dell tablet packs Android", multiple threads about Note 3 cheating on it's benchmark results, you get what I'm trying to say. There are too many useless threads present and are coming up which makes the forum messy and harder to search for something, sorry if that's harsh. Or if possible, at least there can be different sections, one can contain all such threads, one can contain apps and themes stuff and likewise. Wonder if anybody agrees with me or am I the only one?

This forum is on Google Groups and not on vBulletin etc which can be supported via Tapatalk etc. And most users access it via their Gmail account.

So how can we have different sections?

That's why I mentioned "if possible".

Well, in this case, the mods should make sure that only legitimate articles or some really important or great news is posted. Flooding the forum is not helping anybody, is it?

Pratitbhai the contest part is very good but some of the users because of the contest are flooding the group with emails.  I know maybe not everybody would be having a problem with it but this is just my view that before the court test was Introduced the quality a d quantity of the posts were okay but after the contest the users are flooding the same content just under different heading and articles from other websites. This should not happen. I just wanted to request the users just post a unique post and not the same ones.

Not an issue that cannot be resolved without the help of the community :)

Request everyone to use tags like [News] , [ROM] and [App] to start with as this will allow members use email filters.

Will post a separate thread with the rule.

Will request the mods to politely point out to those who miss this, new members might err and need to be told of the rule.
