Hi, great forums and flashed a few ROMS now from the great cooks on the site.
I have one small gripe however, i am a software engineer and interested in Android apps specifically integration with mono and WCF web services. I couldnt find anything on the site so i went to post - but couldnt becuase of post limit.
I understand the need for it to filter out less sensible question, or at least make people search before they write, but very frustrating in other cases.
Just my 5 pence worth.
Cheers,
Chris
If you feel you should be exempted from this rule, post your development in a general section and Private Message a Moderator and ask them to move it to the development section. If your work fits the bill we will be more than happy to help you out.

His join date is December 2010. He should be exempted from the rule anyway. Only users who joined this year should be affected by the ten posts rule. I'm sure someone could fix his account for him.
Awesome! Welcome to the XDA!
Only 2 more posts and I can't post as well!!

You do have a point. If he is having this issue he should contact the Administrator MikeChannon so he can troubleshoot the issue.

Why would you be asking a question in a development forum? (unless you wanted to ask in a thread that already exists).

As far as I know, you will need a # of post (more than 5 I think) before you are allow to insert a link in any thread. I'm not a mod, but I read about this somewhere in this site : If I'm wrong, maybe a mod can correct me with this one
Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636765 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626993.
Yep, need something like 5 to 10 posts for links.
Hmm, ok, thanks. I just wanted to post a URL to my new project and gather some feedback, but I guess I'll have to lurk around longer and find some other stuff to comment on.
In the same boat as you.
But i guess its better than page on page with spam from bots
Yes, after a few posts the system and Moderators can see whether you are a genuine member or not.
In the meantime you can use links like this:
wwwdotxda-developers.com
You can always go back later and put in working links.

What are the chances these rules can be adjusted so they aren't ridiculously frustrating? I can't post or edit my own posts without waiting 5 minutes, I can't post images or even quote images posted by other users. I've been viewing these boards everyday since I joined (about a week ago) and it's making the transition to participating VERY obnoxious

Sorry about the issues, we all had to go through it at one point. Since XDA is such a large and popular site we have been a big target for spam, so to make sure the boards arent full of ads and spam we have to make the rules a little strict. its only for 10 or so posts.

I believe you will now be out of the "initial" group, as you have 5 posts. Within the next 1 or 2 posts, it should be finished
I know that this is an old thread but I really want to post thanks to certain individuals or post in discussion forums but due to this restriction it means I'm having to spend a lot longer on the XDA site just to post what I wanted to. For instance even this post took me an extra 4 minutes...
To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!
Is there a Question?
The "error" you copied into your post, is pretty self explanatory. A new user cannot post links in their post until they have made approximately 8 to 10 posts.
Sounded pretty simple to me when I read it, they want people to actually have a level of participation in the forums before you're granted certain privileges, pretty reasonable to me.

I didn't get this question out of reading the first post. Obviously putting any links or even typing http:// in a post will block said post until your "participation" has been "proven"
This is a way to prevent Spam, but you should be able to post to most forums. IF you are trying to post to a Forum Marked "Development" then you will not be able to until you reach 10 posts. Those are the rules.

Recently I've picked up on a trend where people are signing up to the site and then, without searching or reading the threads, they start to shoot off questions via PMs. Is there a way to ensure that new members do not have access to the PM function until they have a certain number of post of have been a member for a specific period of time (if you want to stop spam posting)?

I wish there were a way as well. I normally just have fun with them when I get a PM from someone who obviously didn't search or read. I've sent two users to lemon party dot com already.
So no reply from XDA?
If we extend the 10 post rule to PMs, that would probably increase the number of junk posts in other forums. The thinking is... "ok, I can't post in any development forum, and I can't PM anyone...I might as well inundate other sections with my question until I get a reply!"
...so, not sure it's the best solution.
How about the second suggestion then? They have to be a member for a certain period of time before the function is available to them?

I like tat this suggestion!! Set a Certain period of time.
But may I suggest, also implement 10 post. Of course with CAPTCHA implemented. (But implementing CAPTCHA, meant the WHOLE Global XDA posting will have CAPTCHA, will end up a GLOBAL Panic for DEV)

I totally agree. The Q&A and General forums are getting inundated with "I can't post in the dev threads" questions. It's made matters worse. I think new users should be able to post in dev forums, but not create a thread their own in there.

Apperently mike1986 “forgot” to give credits to football in the 1st post. Therefore he has received a 3 day ban.
That happened on 27th November at 17.10h. If the ARHD thread will ever get reopened, is not clear.
Personally I think it’s a big mistake to close a thread and punish all ARHD users when the only dispute is with the thread starter. And on a even more personal note I think everybody involved is acting pretty childish… Sad, very sad!

Hey mate, who made you the XDA "what you can ask questions about" bloke ? I can see your reply in the afore mentioned 1st post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34746310&postcount=3 , again, who gives you the right, or knowledge, to comment on what someone else deserves ?
When I look in the OP from Mike's thread (and according to many - many posts in the thread, not a lot of people do !), I see that he has recognised
"•Thanks to HTC for the base firmware"
Where does this bullsh%t end ?
Football (and by no means am I having at go at him/her) would have received leaks from someone else. Not credited as far as I can see, or if he/she works for HTC, then the leak is their IP, and Mike's "•Thanks to HTC for the base firmware" holds true, although possibly tongue-in-cheek.
Anyway, I logged in tonight to find out why the ARHD, for my Aussie One X, thread was paused, and you offered no help. To me, that's not in the spirit of Android, or XDA.

Did you find out who owned these devices at the same time？Don't worry about it. : )
I think these devices can bring into play much more effects and bring out not value, but unluckily I can't do it.
Unfortunately, at the same time I need some money to use, so I decided to sell these devices. No matter how imperative thing I meet, I don't cheat anyone.I promise.

Forum Rule 7. Do not spam, sell or trade on the forums.
If you wish to advertise a product, simply contact us. We can provide ads but you are not permitted to just post it in the forums. If you do, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
On the 30th Nov 2012 the Marketplace closed. The buying, selling, trading and / or exchanging of any item is now prohibited on XDA, in any forum or via Private Messages. We now use www.swappa.com
You can add updates to your thread (ie new features for an app., etc), BUT only update if you are posting relevant to the topic and NOT with the sole purpose of getting the thread to the top of the page (known as "bumping") otherwise it will be considered as spam.
