One thing I hate about the proliferation of hoax threads is that they help bury other threads. I posted someting the other day about changes in the Rhapsody service that was buried almost immediately; then I bumped it and IT was also quickly buried.

I think that mild punishments like banning for a week will bring most spammers and trolls to their senses. For others, perhaps the electric chair ...

I can happily skip any title that implies to that stuff even a little bit. but I am not happy searching real content among those titles.

Please vote for solution #17 on this Brainstorm.
I lurked on the boards for a long time before posting, I've been reading t.m.o for ~6 months now, signed up with an account after getting a n900 but only started posting few days ago, and the only reason i started posting was I had an issue and was looking for a solution...

I believe that all common issues have been already addressed in one thread or another. Not having the option to start whining about "exchange support" or "portrait mode" for the googolth time will incite people to use the search instead.
I am sure we can have a common thread for new issues.
Everyone that joins and presents her/himself will already have received a couple of "thank you" just for that courtesy. I am not suggesting a very high threshold.

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.
