Does anyone else not like that new users cannot post in the developers forum until u have posted atleast ten post in the general forum?

Yeah, most new users come here to ***** about it, untill they realize that it's not that hard to get 10 posts

Nope, not at all. I had made 5 or 6 posts before even hearing about said rule. Then again, I'm not a developer, so I likely won't be posting in the hallowed forum where the collective genius does it's cogitations.
Grippin' my DInc with CyanogenMod 6.1
I do not like the fact OT still doesn't have a 10 post rule.
i agree bu i also see why they do it so randomers dont post crap

Come on guys, It's only 10... Not like 100 or anything
Really not that big of a deal imo.

What you've done here, is make a thread complaining about the 10 post requirement, so noobs can feign interest to get 10 posts and spam the development forums. In all honesty, senior members (who can be trusted) should need to approve of them. Or mods. But there would be too much for the mods to approve. Hence the trustworthy seniors.
I've mentioned this before, but look how you can make a difference with your first 10 posts, like this guy did!...

It is a developers forum after all so it's all about the contributions you can make. I'm sure you'll be contributing in time too. Have a read of some guides and wikis, browse some theme threads and thank the people for their efforts. You'll be well on your way within an hour!

True, but look at the majority of members with less than 10 posts. Yes, there is a minority with something decent to contribute, but these people are either long time lurkers or spend most of their time in other forums.

nah, keeps us from making a$$ of ourselves right away.
a noob on this forum may be a senior on another.. anyway, 10 posts is not a big thing.
the irony is, when the ROM creator asks for feedback, you find that you cant post on that thread!!
Edit: This is my 10th post!! Jailbreak!
I personally disagree quite strongly with it. When it was first being discussed I was under the impression that new users would not be able to create threads in the dev forums, and I was all for that. Then I realised it was not that, and suddenly the Q&A, and sometimes General, forums are filled with people asking for help flashing a ROM. My usual response is "ask in the ROM thread - the rules of XDA state not to make a new thread if there's an existing one", and they quite correctly respond that they're not allowed.
Basically, this new rule has made the Q&A and General threads even more disorganised than they already were.
I don't like it either, posting 10 posts is not easy
To all you noobs out there:
1. Read. <- You have two eyes, but ten fingers. Stop for a sec, read first before typing ANYTHING.
2. Respect. <- Most of us have gone through a lot. We've done a lot. We've contributed a lot. You have not earned the right to come in screaming, and neither have you earned the right make demands. Most of the people here do it for free. Be grateful, and worship the devs as they are meant to be.
Quite annoying i agree.. i have some nice solutions on android dev for miui on dhd..but i have tö nag up ten nonsense posta herr firat.

I'm only at 7 and I want to post in a ROM Thread to point out some bugs which sucks that I have to wait before I can post a bug, but it's only 10 posts which is easy to get. I guess it helps with spam and people posting the same question or problem that's been posted before.
OK I am fairly new here, But I can now see why alot of people are leaving this forum and going to others. One main gripe i have is moderators up and moving posts all over the place. Ill be coming back to check a post and then all of a sudden its gone? no idea where it went have to dig through 20 topics to find it. lots of this going on as of late.
Not to mention some of my own posts moved for no reason, well at least not ones that make sence. Had one moved from general to off topic why? my post was a general post about tblet and phone things it wasent an off topic post.
also had a post for the acer iconia a500 moved from the acer iconis a500 forum becasue it was a question??? Um would not people looking for questions and answers about the iconia go look in that section? No ones gonna go to the q&a section to look for my acer iconia spacific topic. makes no sence that it was moved.
I have noticed a few devs have also abandoned xda becasue of the silliness here and moved to other forums.
OK so let me know where your gonna move this topic too ok I put it in off topic sooo. I guess im not off topic enough?
Everything ends up in OT eventually.
General section is more general and relates to some "useful" or "serious" information or discussion. OT is mainly meta topics or spam parties or jokes or happy-fun time.
Questions are ALWAYS in Q&A section, unless the question is not a question and is more of a rant.
Did I answer you enough?
p/s: Don't mess with the mods.

There's a singularity around here somewhere, sucking everything in. Once you cross the event horizon there is no escape. We are the XDA flotsam

If your post/thread was moved most likely it was rightly so. Devs are not leaving XDA because of threads are being mved...devs are leaving because of many reasons, one being noobs posting in Dev when they should not be. We are very strict when it comes to where something goes...and soon to be more strict. We have a method to our madness...if you are confident that something you have posted was in the right area, I would suggest sending a PM to your forum moderator. You can find the list in my sig if you are not sure who that is.
And to add to the TRM post....if a MOD moved any thread, an automated PM is sent to the OP of such thread sooooooo, your accusation/rant/complain is futile and irrelevant
I call for closing this thread...question has been answered already and as Apu says: "Thank you, come again!!"

Agreed. Thread closed.
To the OP: If the thread was moved, it was most likely ill-placed to begin with. If you have a particular instance in which you believe your thread was moved in error, PM me the URL to the thread and I will look into it.
What does the "thread closed" mean if people are still adding comments to that thread? example- yesterday I noticed a closed thread I wanted to comment on, then I went into it today and there were posts from today! maybe a link to what the little icons mean next to a thread, would be helpful? -i'm not seeing a link. Or what a new person can and can't do link?

That is something that doesn't normally happen, although it can. The only people who can add onto a closed thread are Moderators - you will note that quite often, because you are in Off-Topic, other Mods (especially ConanTroutMan) like to add their own comments after one of their fellow Mods closes a thread. Don't worry about it - they live on a different plane of existence to us mere mortals
Suffice to say; if it has a padlock on the icon then it is closed.

For some reason you blocked me from sending PM.
Weird behaviour of a mod, you don't even give new members the change to explain.
So here is what i wanted to send:
Strange, why you closed my thread?
I just saw the link the polish guy posted and found a few answers there.
But not all answers are in that thread, simply because it's not the same rom.
Ok, i'm a new member and don't know all the rules and find everything right away, but since when is it forbidden to ask simpel questions that weren't asked before?
And b.t.w. new memebrs are forced to spam questions in those threads, because we have to wait 10 posts before we can ask in de dev thread.
I understand why that is, but it doesn't solve the problem because after 10 posts people do it anyway.
Thank you for your help/time anyway.
I now reached my 10 posts, so you can close this thread or place it were it belongs (off-topic thread?)
I understand your feeling but many members newbie or not they say use search button first before asking or specially creating a new thread like the one you create there's a identical thread that tonyp's created in that section you can ask there even your post is below 10 because the q&a section is the section where you should learn first the things you want to know because its full of question and answer

You made a new account just to say that? I'm impressed.
This thread should be closed now.
If there no answers then ask a question in proper thread and it will be added to Q&A.
Your thread was closed, because I reported it as useless.
If MrXT would became moderator, he probably behaved the same. I am moderator on another forum too and some user just don't feel rules that the person must keep to make forum clean. MrXT is just a hater, don't know what his mind is pointed on.
Hulk does his job very good
Sorry, if I offenses you. I wanted to point you to ask all questions in thread that contains library which grows up i properly thread.
Cheers.

What the hell are you complaining about?
Your thread was closed with a very polite message pointing you towards the correct place for your question and your response is to throw a public tantrum....
Nobody has stopped you sending PMs and pointless threads will be closed, just like this one.
Ok, this is getting crazy over here. Why on earth can we not have a SINGLE THREAD about Android L? It is the biggest release for Android and some people are excited. Everybody was confined to one thread prior to this, and guess what? That thread was closed. Why? Because people were apparently "spamming questions" (I didn't read through the entire thread so I don't know exactly what was going down, but the last couple pages didn't see all that bad).
Every other thread now is getting shut down. Seriously, what does it matter if people are asking too much? They are excited! Closing all of these threads are just going to make new people (those who weren't here last night or today) keep posting more topics on the matter. So what if people are being annoying. That main thread that was closed still had some genuine people in it. Who cares if there are a few people throughout the thread asking too much? Let them be! At least it is in one thread and not making a mess of this and the Q&A forum, likes its been since the main thread was closed.
Let this topic stay please, and let anybody speculate, ask questions, build hype or whatever towards Dev preview!
May I just remind everybody who would say something along the lines of "Oh XDA is a developer forum not blah blah blah", which is what I have seen numerous times in these topics that have been closed:
Quoted Directly above the threads here in General!
"Since this is not a development section, you can post on general topics that all users will encounter with the Nexus 5. Any registered XDA user can post in this forum."
I believe all users will encounter Android L, so why can't there be speculation, posts about things that were discovered, new pictures ect.? Look I know it gets annoying, but that's when it is all over the forum. Can we just keep this one topic open and confine everybody to it? It will make those who want to talk about it happy for they have a place and it will make those annoyed happy for it is only one thread.
Noble cause, but it won't work. It will derail in a matter of seconds and none of us mods feel like taking on the burden of keeping it in check simply for speculation purposes. Wait for the test version to drop, until then nothing is allowed.
Thread closed.
