I agree with Sieghard. I haven't seen anyone discourage the discussion
of jail breaking on the list. I went looking for an old message from the
owner or the moderator of the list on whether discussing jail breaking
is permitted, and I couldn't find anything, but I'm pretty sure they've
never tried to squash any discussion on jail breaking. The moderator
also used to jail break his phone, but I'm not sure if he's still doing
that or not.
I think it's perfectly OK to point to Google or podcasts when someone
asks a question. I've seen people point to Google, AppleVis or podcasts
on numerous subjects, such as using a bluetooth keyboard, different
navigation apps and so on. If I see a question go unanswered, and I
think I can help by pointing to a podcast or a web page on a topic I'm
not personally well versed with then I'll do that, and I don't think
there's a problem with that.
I think it's more likely that there just aren't a lot of people on the
list who jail break anymore. I jail broke my phone when I was running
IOS 5, but I haven't jail broken it since then. I didn't want to wait to
move up to newer versions of IOS, and one of my most important apps
wouldn't run on a jail broken iPhone.

Hi Pablo,
I don't think people avoid the topic of jailbreaking, but for most people on
this list it is of little interest since they don't want to jailbreak. I,
for example, may give a bit of general information about jailbreaking and
point to a Podcast which goes into more detail because I know basically what
Jailbreaking is and how it works, but I don't jailbreak. At the same time,
if I see posts about Games on the list I delete them because I own 3 games
and hardly ever play them. I think there is nothing wrong at all with
providing information or links to Podcasts or articles where a person can
get the information they need.
In any case, if you are running iOS 7.1.1 you cannot jailbreak and there is
a chance that you may never be able to jailbreak 7.1.1. The people who do
the jailbreaks may very well focus on iOS 8 to which they will have access
to as a Beta version after Apple's WWDC next Monday.
Regards,
Sieghard

Yes, it is that I have been saying. Why off list?
It is a topic that should not be tried in the list?
Why every time when somebody ask about this topic, the people ask to do it
off list.
And please, don't respond me that are podcast where they talk about it,
because are podcast for the rest of topics that we try here every day, but I
don't see that kind of responses. Normally when somebody comes with a
question, many people respond the question, no matter is the respond is
available on google. The people always, respond. But for the jailbreaking,
always the people walk around avoiding the topic.
