So I signed up to the forum after lurking for a while. I wanted to talk on a couple of threads that are going related to one of my projects I'm working on, but apparently I have to post 10 things before I can post in the development sections.
I was up to 5 posts, and then suddenly shot back down to 1 post. Several were deleted with no explanation. I'm assuming there is some kind of "1 post per day" limitation as well? I didn't see anything about this in the forum rules, so I assume this is an automatic bot-fighting mechanism? Any chance I can get this limitation removed? I am an experienced developer and having to post to 10 irrelevant threads, and not able to post more than 1 at a time in some currently unknown time-frame just to be able to post in the development section, seems extremely patronizing.
They would have been deleted if they were obviously just created to boost your count. Also, there an auto merge feature on Vbuliton. It may have been merged with other posts. Please read the link in my sig explaining the 10-post rule. Thanks. Topic closed.

You only need 10 posts to post in the development sections. You can post in all the other sections.
This is to stop people creating threads in the development forums before they have familiarised themselves with the site a bit more. This means that the development forums are not cluttered with rubbish that mods have to move, and that we members can find our way round a lot easier.
Feel free to participate in the general and Q&A forums to build up both your knowledge and post count. Then, if you have anything to contribute (in the way of development) you can post in the correct place.
Blarg *being*!!!
Please change it so it doesn't bug me until this thread dies

For more of an explanation of the 10 post rule, please see the link in my sig. Thread closed so people do not feed off of it to bump their post count.
How do I get rid of this 10 posts rule? I need to ask questions in the development forum. I develop and test roms for the last year, not sure why I need 10 posts in general forums in order to post there.
it is forum rules
dont want fresher‘s rubbish posts here
That's the rule, and we're bound to follow. ^.~

There are no questions to ask in dev section. Its dev only. Not end user.
Then again i9000 dev section is full of end users spamming the board and not reading anything.

The very fact that you are making this post and posts here , means you are NOT restricted to make any useful posts on any forum but the development forum.
why?
Because its suppose to be spam free and Q&A threads are kept out of that forum to ensure ONLY development matters are discussed by Developers and members who have understood the rules and guidelines on how to use XDA site. New members need to understand this and respect them.
what do they need to understand?
This site was created by Developers for Developers
watch
what this videos conveys repeatedly are that there are dedicated forums and you need to LEARN to use the search engine
1) Use the search , instead of asking a question, as it is and has been asked by someone else and already answered so do not spam
2) Read, research and learn by looking in the right direction, so do not spam.
3) When reading the threads, you may come across, some interesting things and there you can make your own suggestions and or your findings, so do not spam
4) Specific Q&A threads are available for most phones, where you can ask questions, seek advice from others using similar phone like yours, so do not spam.
5) How do you find these threads? use the search, a few available on each forum for specific searches, so do not Spam.
6) There are even OT threads ( off topic) meant for members to have some fun, but not meant for beginners as you should at least have made 10 posts that had increased your knowledge or increased others by giving advice.
This community wants you to learn and walk the walk that all member's had to go through, just like citizens of a country have to undergo certain criteria to be a citizen of that country.
So, there you have it, its not about you learning to spam or posting out of disgust to reach to get over 10 posts but about you learning and achieving the status of an XDA member as well as learning how to find what you want with the search engine.
Again, if you learnt to spam, you may be penalized so avoid it at all cost making ten useful posts will only take a short time for anyone wishing to learn as well as teach or correct others. Try involving in a discussion thread, it will be over within hours
Finally you don't need to ask a question in the developers forum, there are Device specific forums, which you should and can use. Click the WIKI button on top of any forum and you can locate your Device WIKI page or your can use the general forum for such questions, either you will get an answer by a Member or the Moderator will move your post to the Device specific forum. So you must subscribe to your post, such that you will know where it has been moved to.
let me give you an idea
general forums A, or B
Q & A Forums A, or B,
Now if you look at Q&A, forums there are sticky threads in that forum for practically any question or phone by noobs where members are asking you to post , so that they can help you.
Mind you, above are only for people who cannot locate their phone model via the search . So when there is a specific forum for your device, there is also a Q&A thread in that forum for that device.
So you see clearly @Aeneas is spamming this thread, and someone will report him , and his count will be ZERO posts because of spamming instead of learning.
Just for the record, I have made over 2000 posts and I can tell you ONLY less than FIVE of them in Development Forums as a member in all this duration.
Hope this helps you understand

I am only posting this because the XDA "10 post" policy is preventing me as a new user to post in relevant forums regarding my new i9305 and reporting bugs to the dev behind the Pandoriam rom. I have been forced to lurk for a long time now, but I need to start posting to assist the community. I don't have a general query as I know what I'm doing in terms of modding this handset.
Mods feel free to delete this posts...
Again, sorry. The 10+ post policy has forced this...

Post 2 out of 10...
cruel lismje
Post 3 out of 10...
Reported.
So you couldn't PM him instead...
Yes, I could. But the point of the post is to save people's time, so they don't report it multiple times
Missing my point, I didn't mean you I meant the OP contacting the author of the rom he used...
Fair enough
Because the posts counter is set to 1 and does not follow the account?
I have spent days by posting in off topic and I should have at least 5 posts ... but today I only have 1 ...

OT is not the right section for you to get your 10 posts. Help some user in general sections if you want to those.
You're post count has been reset. That usually happens when people post every 5 to 10 minutes just so they can get 10 posts in a hurry.
Instead of trying to only post in the OT section, try and make meanful and useful posts elsewhere on the site. This can be achieved by either helping other users, asking questions, posting useful comments, etc. Please stop posting just for the purpose of getting in 10 posts.

I need to ask a question regarding a my knock on issue but can't reply to a thread that I want to post in. So I guess I need to post in here to see if someone can copy my question to that thread. I would like to get this resolved but I'm at a stand still until someone can help me out.
This is the thread I want to ask a couple of questions in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/easy-verizons-hidden-menu-t2825967
I've followed the instructions for the hidden menu. I've got it installed and did the firmware update. It seems to be working for everyone. It's not for me however. I'm on the newer version and I still can't get the knock on to work. Knock off works fine. I've noticed that some of my apps have dead spots on the screen also.
What do I do next. It was working fine last night. I put the phone on my charger around 2am last night, woke up at 9 and it didn't work.
Will a factory reset work? I'm on verizon 24a stock rom but rooted. I noticed that there is a system update available. I really don't want to have to reflash back. I like the phone as it is. I just want the knock on feature to work and my other apps. Can someone help me out here.
Thanks,
Jake
Rather than being in such a rush to post in a Development forum, spend a bit more time to ensure you post in the correct section to begin with.
We have a Q&A forum for a reason... that's where this should have been posted so I've moved it there.
Also, Development forums are for Development. They are not generally for the purpose of posting your Q&A.
Search properly first... You're unlikely to be the first person to experience your issue and your question has more than likely been answered multiple times.

Sorry....I've search and search for my specific problem and there's nothing in these threads that cover it. I was under the assumption that I could only post in the general forum only due to my post count. Didn't know I could post in the Q&A forum or I would have put it there. Thanks for moving it for me.
What I'm trying to understand is since there's already a thread on this problem, why shouldn't I be allowed to post in it instead of starting a new thread about the same topic that won't be looked at. I'll follow the rules but to me it would seem easier to post in that thread without having to start a brand new thread on the same topic.

You're welcome to post in that thread now, without trying to boost your post count any further.
I've moved that thread out of the Development forum because it shouldn't have been there to begin with.
