Please don't spam xda to get your 10 posts. Part of the reason for the 10 post restrictions is to give time to new users to explore xda and all the resources that are available and to get used to making helpful and useful, contributions.
Thanks!

...before posting in dev forums. Really?
Sounds like an invitation to spam.
There should be other way.

It must be the best solution for the time being, that's why the forum mods have implemented it.
There is always a start.
Go around general android forums and see if u can post some constructive comments.
I asked something for an app development reg api level support for a particular thing i wanted n some guidance if it was possible
n it was shifted to q&a....
Not that it was wrong but just slightly confusing...thought q&a was just surface level questions :-\

I'm sure with the search function if you really need help with an issue you can find something that's already been posted.
But yes it sort of does encourage spamming.

And despite his rule supposed to educate people to read and SEARCH by themselves before blindly asking, threads are full of posts asking for things that have been answered two pages before.....
yes, for newbies is really "educative"

ya it's true! with this limitation 60% of new account doesn't post more than 2-3 times xD
But we can send troll post to get 10 posts xD
How are you my friend? Problem?
Spamwise, this is already working. General Optimus 2x discussion, about the all-in-topic 10 post restriction on a thread which is stricly restrict to development.
Dev thread should be allowed to user-specific, so that only known devs should post there. Ofc with some rules like forcing the developers to create a feeback/reporting thread in the general. Or even creating a discussion thread.
dont get me wrong, but ffs, The CM7 nightly dev thread is stupidly and insanely filled in with spam, i mean, 9800+ posts on a development thread?

9800+..???
Now if someone gets stuck somewhere, how the hell do they search for it..??
Even in the General forum, there should be a locking system..wherein the thread gets locked after the mod feels the discussion has yielded a result..
Its actually impractical for someone to browse through 30-40 pages of posts trying to find an answer...
duplicate threads should be deleted and the creator of the thread should get the url as a pm..(u can write a script for it..not a hassle..)

There's plenty of threads about this in the "about xda" forum. If you'd read the rules then you'd know to search first and you'd have found the myriads of other closed threads about the subject.

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.

I apologise in advance for creating this thread.

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...

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

[Q] can't post

When you're a junior member or just new to xda, you won't be allowed to post on development threads until you cross 10 posts, you can only post on some other threads than those in the development section. This is mandatory to all the users. Every single guy on xda has experienced this. This rule is made so as to prevent new users from asking questions that are frequently asked and answered, to prevent populating of threads . You can always use google search or the search option here on xda if you have some questions . I'm darn sure you'll find everything. You'll progress slowly, first junior member --» member --» senior member. And then you can post anywhere on xda. Just have patience By the way, go through the xda rules completely to avoid problems and recommend it to every new user you come across. Good luck and welcome to the greatest forum on earth, " XDA !!! "
