Not on my watch....
Thread closed!!
I will highly suggest for you to rethink your strategy, mate. Spamming the forums in order to post in development it's a big no-no.
I saw that you participated on some other threads in a pro-active manner...don't ruin that type of behavior by opening useless threads like this one.
Cheers,

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

I don't understand why we need to post 10 times to change our state to a "normal" user... so, I post my first time, i see this for months but really now i wanna participate when i'm feeling comfortable.

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.

Post in the correct section for god's sake!

I'm wondering, is it really that hard to post in the correct section? Here are some threads that should be in Q&A, but all were on the first page in General when I copied their links:

That is 12 out of 20 threads (the stickied ones were not included) on the first page that weren't posted where they should be.
Also, I noticed that most of these threads were started by people with none to very few posts... Connection?
I sense that this thread might get closed for some reason.
The threads that I linked to should be closed/moved, or the newbies (mostly, some senior members as well..) who haven't yet developed the ability to read will soon post every single question they have in General...
My suggestion is increasing the post requirement before you can post in General.
A. Volunteer to become a moderator and hand down infractions or use the report post button.
B. Do you think you have any sort of authority over others and or think you are perfect?
C. Do you realize that your whiny post HAS NO PLACE HERE? (As does my response)

B: The OP is correct, the Q&A question exists for question, this one for general discussions. Where did he say he's perfect or above others?
C: Why not? He has a fair point. And I don't see him whining. What is your problem?
But I don't agree: Raising the post count for the General section is not a solution.
Maybe a new closed stickyied thread "This section is NOT for Questions you have, use Q&A for that" might help.
Reported my own post and suggested it to the mods.
Cheers.

Because the Q&A section is a no-man's land where no dev ever ventures. Trying to push the new guys that come here to the fringes is not the solution.

Apart from the fact that I and a couple others in fact ARE scanning the q&a section every now and then for questions which are lacking an answer and are not covered in any of the other threads:
That's not a valid reason to post in the wrong section. Especially considering the kind of questions linked in the OP which are pretty often already covered multiple times all over xda.

you're wrong they answer the questions that never been asked before if your question doesn't answer so search it first before creating a new thread if you search for an hour so search for a day and if you can't find it and you search for almost a day that's the right time to post don't post anything because you only want to reach 10 post to be able to post in developers section

The thing is when I go into the Q&A and see a bunch of old threads I am gonna think like that. I didn't talk out of my ass but went to the section and that was what compelled me to answer. The problems of this forum imo are solved with active moderation. Things like warnings, thread deletions and relocations. Until that investment is made we will be suffering this kind of problems.

10 post minimum to post in dev threads -_-

Why don't you guys have like a user verification so users don't have to post random things to post on dev threats ? something like txt verification or something because i need to report a bug on a rom and i can't :/ :crying:
It's quite easy to get 10 posts in your device forums helping other people. Also it's encouraged not to post until you have 10 posts in Off Topic as well for similar reasons.

Because people just spam 10 posts then go and post in the Developer forum.

I left these because it's good advice and good reading. It really is not hard to get 10 posts by being helpful. Try it.
