Why cant i post a link to a website?

When can i start posting links on a thread? I have been posting all these questions lately because they are legit questions and because i have to have 8 posts to put a link on my post

Because many people just sign up for a rant, a flame advertise etc etc.
The idea is that you have to earn your rights on here, at least thats how i see it,

I'm all for not having mass spam and random stuff, but what about those of us with questions that are pointless asking in forums we can actually post in. Like the dev forum. I posted a question in general so i could actually reply to it, it got moved to dev, and now I'm stuck with a hold and can't reply.

I would pm the mod who moved it. That sound crazy that a mod moved a question from general to development.

They don't let new members post links until after they have 10 Posts posted. This is to keep spammers away

You need more posts, please do not spam to get them

Hi Everybody

I guess I have to post 10 random threads somewhere on this forum before I can leave the comment and ask the questions I wanted to ask on the Android Developers forum.
So Hi!

Don't start a thread in development, it's not there for that! Start the thread in q&a if you can't search the answer. If your particular device doesn't have a q&a section then post in general.
If you are replying in an existing thread in development then more power to you I wish you a swell journey on your 10 post trail

And you could post 10 normal posts instead of just posting sh*t.

Having the ability to post is GREAT, but use it wisely. A lot of devs are asked numerous repeat questions. I find that reading all of the post FIRST is best. Your question has probably been answered more than once. Reading is FUNdemental.
Not trying to be critical and good luck on the 10.

I bet that this thread will be closed by morning.

thants cool hunk

Same reason why i'm here, need to get 10

Daily limit of one post?

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.

[Q] New member 10 posts?

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
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​

How do I POST replies in DEVELOPMENT Forums?

I have an Atrix 4G and a fair bit of knowledge on it. These forums are really good, but it would be useful if I could reply to threads in the atrix development. I have answers and questions, but I don't know if I need to be approved or something like that in order to post in the forums.

Since you are past 10 posts now you should be able to post there. If it still doesn't work in a few hours, then you might ping one of the mods in that forum to take a look at your account and see if there is some issue there.

You need 10 posts to post in development forums, which you can find out more about by looking at the links in my signature.
The server only updates permissions periodically so yours may not have been changed yet, but you have the required post count.
I've had a look at your posts and you're not a typical "10 post spammer" that we see a lot of in here, which is greatly appreciated, but it's still worth a reminder about the following things.
Don't create threads in Development forums unless it's to release software. Questions go in either a relevant existing thread, or a new one in the Q&A forum (or General forum if there's no device-specific Q&A forum). And on that note, always search thoroughly before asking. Nothing irritates other members more than seeing the same questions asked over and again.
Anyway, just bare the above in mind and go enjoy the forums. I'm just glad I don't have to delete a bunch of pointless posts

Yeah man I just want to contribute. Do I need a "thanks" or something like that ?
Also can an admin "approve me" or something like that? My only other question is the five minute between post wait can that be removed? For example I'm just waiting now to send this reply, it's no big deal, just wondering.
Also I posted a thread here asking basically the same question, I don't know how to delete it, but here's a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1783730

Nope, its not reflected by Thanks Meter. Just 10 posts is decent enough. For deleting/closing that Thread, you need to contact the Forum Specific Moderator assigned to that Forum.

At the top of each forum the mods responsible for that forum should be listed. I was suggesting to send one of them a PM, but Archer answered you here.

I got it. Thanks for the help I can post now!
@mf2112 thanks it's working fine now I can post replies !
