Would be possible to make XDA a closed invite only community?
like there are so many people that just download the roms and leave without even a word of thanks to the developers and also many registered users spam just to increase their status here,i have been a part of many communities and out of my experience i would suggest making XDA a closed invite only community will make it reach great new heights....!
Like with a closed community only mambers useful to the community can be retained thus reducing spam as well as making XDA a great community....
Please do suggest your thoughts and opinions....
Fail thought is still fail.

I haven't been a member here for a long time, yet already I feel part of this community. This one of the best online communities I've ever participated in and a large amount of the readers are very helpful. At least it has been so in my experience. Has this been the common experience? Does everyone feel satisfied with XDA? I'm eager to find out what the community thinks about this

i feel the same way too
i love this community too except for the restiction that all members with 10 post less can pose a thing in the development boards
It's the one and only forum with 4 milion members with phones or tablets XD
Pretty cool if you ask me. Good development too

I think that was a typo, he meant 50 posts. Junior members are from 1-49 posts I believe as well, then members are from 50-99, then senior member after that.
Edit: I confirmed that it is actually junior member from 1-29 posts, then member from 30-99, then senior member after that.
Post count
Junior members are 0-9
Member 10 -99
Senior member - 100 +
the snr member one should be higher, I don't consider myself as a snr member
Should be more ranks.. like Veteran and Ol´Timer. Also, It shouldn't be based on post count entirely but also on how long you have been a member.

No because I reckon that's unfair. Somebody may have been member for like three years but barely done anything whereas somebody who is has been a member for smaller amount of time can have a higher post rate but I do agree with the more ranks idea

Ranks should be based on helpfulness and amount of time here both. 3 ranks. Leecher---u just creep around never helping and downloading everyone's work without ever giving helpful feedback or learning anything. Member---u contribute when u can and have tried to help other members in a respectful manner, as well as being a member of xda for at least 6 months. And finally, Jedi---u have donated, helped members at every turn, have been a member for at least 1 year, have a post count of 1000 +, and at least 10 people must be able to give positive feedback about you here.

Positive feedback is only for buying/selling devices through the market and not everyone does that. Edit: I knew I had seen this earlier.

I'll sum it up for you (or try, anyway!)
There are Junior Members, Members, Senior Members first. These make up the vast majority of XDAs userbase.
Recognised Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognised Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognised Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognised Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application (see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum - currently applications are not open). They are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Hopefully that clears most of them up for you
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.

I personally they should have a rank called "XDA's Aid" and it should be you need to have over 500+ posts, have 750+ thanks and has a good reputation spelling and someone what helps XDAs users out.
As soon as I am a senior member I am going to try and become a moderator.

I disagree with this category. "Just creeping around" i.e. reading a lot, learning a lot and sure, downloading, is exactly what we want newbies to do rather than immediately posting questions that have been asked before. If it's possible to categorise to that extent based on forum browsing behaviour, then I suggest this group be called Noble Learners.
Lol if you're going for posts, you could add in where you actually post. Normal XDA members can't access what amounts to probably 80% of my posts because they're in the special boards where you can't read them.
*singing*
nany nany boo boo stick your head in doo doo
I am java android BPM .net developer carefully following xda for years.
Gathered courage and became member here. Sometimes replies are hard be cautious. Yes, do you hurt your girlfriend or boyfriend? Here no different. People responding are our friends working for us. They are one of you and me.
We are talking with master brains challenging proprietory developers. This is research world. You get into it and you forget yourself.
Whereelse you find tools and programs to make life easier?
XDA I still do not know fullform but need not as am interested in technicals.
Long live xda I always love love love you ummmmaaaaah.
One suggestion please bring spell check feature in xda dev application or suggest me if exists.
I just cant stop talking about xda but learnt the rules :
•Be short
•Be simple
•Be polite
•Search before you speak
•Acknowledge research effort
•Criticise for betterment
•As english as possible in post
•Spread love
Long live XDA developers

Thank you,

XDA Senior Moderator
Moderator Edit,
The use of XDA to discuss warez or cracking paid apps is a violation of XDA posting rules.
No one should ever consider using XDA to try to breach the very rules users agreed to when they accepted membership to XDA.
My idea? Buy the app.
Btw you're on an Android Development site for developers... You know.. The same developers that you stole an app from and trying to manipulate it to be able to use it since you didn't buy it.
And the same site, XDA, and it's users, aren't going to help you.
And the same site isn't a place for warez. So... Yeah you're SOL except for the idea of buy the app and support the dev.
