Develop Bugs

I can't post anywhere it is really annoying!!!

When can do my post anyone knows how i can close this post after i get my 10 posts that it requires me to put, I Put android and windows 7 on my phone and i have put android and wp7, i am not that new!

There was a 10 post limit put in place to prevent a lot of "noobs" posting questions in the development forums, which is the wrong place.
Once you get 10 posts, you can post in any forum. It won't take long to make 10 posts in other forums. We have an off-topic forum where you might be able to find some threads to reply in. It's a good place to start

Got already my 10 posts but still can´t post where ever i want.

I`m new member too, but I think Is good idea apply that rule.

i should get 10 posts as soon ss possible

I totally disagree. A 10 post limit is really rather lame since the noobs that need spoon feeding will post garbage to get to a 10 count, then unleash the hell that is typical of people who are too lazy to read first and ask questions later (don't even get me started on the Search function)
I also understand the irony that this my first post, and yes, its both to berate the noob community and the forum. My intended first post was to give feedback on the stability of CM7 stable in the Dev forum like the other 51 pages of comments, yet here I am, going through the bull**** hoop jumping to even post.
****ing makes my head hurt. FAIL.

Go to your device support area and start helping people. You'll get to over ten posts in no time, and probably learn lots in the process.

I agree with you sir its a awful idea

I am unable to post in the dev threads after my 10 posts .. i understand the point of the limit but i merely want to post found bugs ..
Iv also seen people with alot more post who still ask very simple and stupid questions in these threads .. so that kind of defeats the purpouse of the limit ..

IIRC the forum stats update every hour so it may take a little while after acheiving 10 posts before you can actually post........
Should be soon dont worry
Unfortunately your right, there are members with more than 10 posts who do not seem to be able to differentiate between a development forum and a Q&A forum...
However the 10 post rule has dramatically reduced the clutter in the development sections across the board, trust us on this.

So, you were never new, huh?
New people should read and learn and not post without searching, but no one should be saying they shouldn't be here. We were all new once.

Im Getting My 10 Posts In Now

10 posts ?
tbh
the 10 posts don't seem to deter clutter...
also, just coz you haven't posted 10 times doesn't necessarily mean you can't add value !
That the worst bit of resource management I've ever seen - a 'noob' may have something incredibly valuable to add - even if it's a 'dumb' question - it may provoke a non-noob into a new idea.
I have been on several forums - been on Linux, Ubuntu, Maemo devel ( hey they alrready got GB 2.3.3. running on an N900 ! ), Meego devel, iOS.... all can add value as essentially all based on same platform
..... - just wasting one of my 10 posts here as a noob !....

[Q] New member posting

I have received a surprising number of PMs in response to my App thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973921] from newbies who say they are PMing because they are unable to reply to threads. One even said he couldn't post till he had 10 posts (how the heck could he get 10 posts if he can't post?). I thought newbies couldn't post links for a certain period or number of posts... but I have slept since then and the site has changed some.
What gives? I read the FAQ and all I found was that in most forums you have to be a registered member to reply or post new topics. Are these newbies just mistaken about the rules, if so is there some way to better explain the posting rules?

We have an informative notice to users when they try to do this.
New users (<10 posts) can't post in development areas. What you could do, is make a "support" thread outwith development. The problem was that we were getting thousands of pointless posts from people in development areas, causing endless trouble in moving them and dealing with the flaming that continued...
Once they have 10 posts outwith development areas, they can post in dev forums within 1 hour of that time. A support thread outwith that section, with a prominant link in the first post might help, and it's the method I will be using myself.

Thanks, that certainly explains it... great suggestion.

Must follow the rules, thank you.

I have the same issue and found out about the 10 posts rule, yet something confused me, a "new member" (Labeled as Junior Member" was able to post in the development area for a Rom thread with only having >5 posts. I saw two posts of his in this thread and he only had total of 4 posts...I tried to post in the same thread and wasn't allowed to because i have fewer than 10 post...oh and his post is only a day or two old.. what gives??

noted ...sir

This stupid rule forces me too post in pointless threads for me. It's just too much hassle to post in threads you really don't care about just to be able to post in your desired development thread.

The recommended way is to post in Q&A instead of development, and I tried it. Obviously no one from the development thread is going to be informed of my post automagically, so I went on contacting the kernel dev, leading to the same situation as the OP, meaning an unwanted PM to a busy dev...

Yeah I don't want to keep bugging deva through pm. Only reason for me to post in other threads.

I perfectly agree with you, sir, and find the present thread particularly handy in that respect. Of course, I would never post anything just for the sake of reaching a post count of 10, but it appears that light conversation about the ins and outs and philosophy of the XDA rules does help towards that goal, isn't it wonderful?
And hooooo didn't I just discover another thoughtful anti-noob restriction ? It appears that, in order to increase my verbia... to increase the quality, grammar and punctuation of posts, and more importantly, to avoid easy mass spamming, XDA requires non-mod-approved users to wait a total of five minutes between two posts. Specifically, the following message appears:
To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.

(HA, yes, I admit that I am just training to use the quote function here, and that the above snippet of text does not bring much to the conversation, but eh, isn't it a positive side effect of the anti-noob-spam rule, that I get to train proper formatting of posts?)

So it's a limitation of new posters when using the XDA app, probably.

Yes its a limitation....by the way this is my first post.... 1/10
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

Congratulations on your first post, komusic.
I shall also note that the 5 minutes between posts limitation makes that a minimum of 50 minutes is necessary for anyone to reach the infamous tenposts milestone after which the golden doors of the dev forums posting will open under our ungrateful greasy little noobish fingers. Hence, this is also a test of patience. We shall consider ourselves monks, in fact. Apprentices.

So can anyone explain why a member with >10 posts can post in the development area? The posts are recent, just yesterday and the day before

Cant post, because not enough posts??!?!!?!1

I wanted to post something I noticed about an issue with frx07 about a known bug, and I get the message I can't post because I don't have enough posts.
Really??? WHo the heck does this help? Now I can't give my observations on the issue that maybe would be a help to debugging it, and I have to waste my and the boards time posting junk such as this??? Really , who had this brillant idea?

This thread helps to explain why: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069298
If you have a problem with a ROM, you could maybe send a PM to the dev, or start a new thread in the Q&A forum for that device.

i think it,s better to let everyone post and if the OPs find that the question is not appropriate, they can delete it

Its not really that simple....
The amount of posts that would need to be deleted is enormous and tbh we have better things to do than constantly move posts that could have been posted in the correct location if the user took the time to read up a bit before posting.
This 10 post rule gives them time to do that....

This is ridiculous. I have posted several times seriously and then was told not able to post...

I checked your posting history, looks like you had absolutely no trouble wasting your ten posts spamming useless bullsh*t then REQUESTING A FEATURE in a development thread (again, spamming), which you could have easily done in Q&A without any fuss or attention whatsoever.
The rules are setup to inconvenience time-wasting fools like yourself, and to give you a chance to make a positive impact in your first tentative moments here. You've gone and blatantly kicked in the face the information provided in each of the threads you spammed in, as well as completely missed the entire point of the community. Congratu-f*cking-lations.
I hope you get the biggest, baddest ban hammer around, because honestly, it's all you deserve.

Hello,
I am merely replying in order to achieve the minimum of 10 posts, so I can help somebody in another thread.

Is there a way on how to achieve the minimum posts, so I that I'm not poluting this forum with unnecessary spam?

people under 10 post can post in dev. section?

PS. i want to say feedback about sense roms but i cant post becouse i dont have 10 posts, and some people can post under 10 so wtf?

It's weird, I've seen this too. Maybe they had their post moved from somewhere completely different?

There is a bug in the XDA (premium) app which lets you post under 10 posts.

Its seems silly that us newbys have to post 10 completly irrelevant posts, just so we can comment on, and give our support to up and coming roms.

No it's so you can at least see a little of how things work here and possibly see the throttling people get from posting in the wrong section, and then not make the same mistake of annoying people and spamming threads.

Silly questions can still be asked even after 10 posts. So what's the logic here?

A lot of members are here for a "quick fix", and don't actually contribute anything to the dev section. They don't bother reading, researching or doing anything that involves any work. The 10 post solution means they have to become active in the forum before they can help (or annoy) the devs.

Yes it is annoying alright. I need a ask a question to the developer of a rom as I am having issues with it and I cannot do so until I ram up my post count.

Ever heard about PM?
Nevertheless, posting to dev section should be allowed only to senior members. And even if one of them dare to post something stupid, temporary ban. If that doesn't help, permaban.

Actually a great proportion of stupidity comes from 10+ posts or 1+ yrs of membership here, plus this rule contributes to Q&A being spammed. So, as hard as it might seem, I say it doesn't help us much.

I disagree, permaban is answer to every problem.

This area has no meaning to were I am trying to get and be helpful. So i will just say here is a post 9 more to go.

much as I dun see how having at least 10 posts would stop people from asking silly questions, it does stop people from registering just to ask one. so there.

Are the posting restrictions too strict?

For a long time I've been a 'silent' reader of the XDA-Forum.
Today I wanted to post a question in the development section of a phone. Therefore I registered a new account for me, but unfortunately I was unable to post the question, as there is a restriction saying you need 10 posts before you were allowed to post in a development section.
As the question is quite important to me, I made up my mind and thought: well, then I've to write 10 posts in different forums, so I'm able to post the original question - does that make sense, I guess not?
Luckily I hit another restriction - as a new user you are only allowed to post every 5 minutes
So the question is, is it really necessary to have these strict posting restrictions (10 posts) on the development section?

You would be amazed by the amount of spammers and random posts we got away by these rules.

Well if you have a question it needs to go in the q/a section for your device. The development section is only for development, this is why the rules are in place to try and prevent stuff being posted in the wrong section
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app

Once you are past the restrictions, you'll find you can do anything. The reason for these restrictions is because the overarching majority of users who are new here refuse to follow the rules on posting. Therefore, the best way to deal with this is to restrict new users from posting in development areas, as these are the places new users tend to abuse with questions or stupid comments.
Once you're past the restrictions you'll find it's OK

This is exactly why these restrictions are in place. It is useful when joining a site to learn how it operates first. If you have a question it should go in the Q&A sections, not in Development.
If you post 10 useful and helpful posts then you should be able to move past the restrictions. Pleae don't be tempted to post spam as these posts will be deleted.
All that said, wlcome to XDA!
WB

I understand that these restrictions were put in place to keep spammers and the "of course i used search and googled it" away, but as being a long time silent observer and have tested roms before my first post and didn't feel the need to have someone hold my hand as I flashed away, I felt that I should inform the developers of the bugs I have found or to simply thank them.
But with these restrictions in place it meant I had to spam some threads to get to 10 posts which always kept me away. Well now I decided to get those 10 posts, registered and started (mildly) spamming. Up to three posts now.
What I'm trying to say is that with these restrictions you are also keeping away some people that know what they are doing (when it comes to flashing and testing roms) and don't feel the need to ask questions that have been answered many times before.
Just my two cents.

If People know what they're doing then they should be posting with helpful replies instead of spamming. I bet 99% of the questions/comments from People who start these kinds of threads have already been raised on the original thread or is some noob like comment that doesn't need to be posted in the first place.

The fact that you couldn't be bothered to search and find the other 1,000 threads here complaining about the very same thing is proof such restrictions are needed.

I went through the same exact frustration with the posting rules. When I read about making meaningful posts vs spam/non-helpful for the first 10 all I could think of was... "well, I want to make a meaningful post in regards to a particular rom in the development area, but to do so I have to find other avenues that could be helpful."
I've got no issue with the tight rules to keep spam down, but I imagine I would have above 50 posts right now in development areas but I always shrugged it off and made no reply, which is not helpful to anyone. Now I'm in the process of getting my posts so I can finally contribute.

Not to be forced to go help somewhere I'm not interested in. I came to consult with others in a particular section of the forum specifically and i can't until I go somewhere else and post, that's all I'm trying to say. It's not a huge deal just don't think it necessarily helps me in this case. Although I could see some good reasons as to why they do this.

The 10 post rule is there for a cause.To prevent the spamming of dev section.
How can I post in dev section? Simple, you make 10 meaningful posts by helping others as zacthespack already stated.
If you can help others in the development section, then I am pretty sure you can do the same in the General and Q&A section also..And what is it that you want to consult in?

True, but for myself as a long time reader I have a bug to report on paranoidandroids recent beta. Instead of posting that observation, I find myself trolling forums looking for meaningful things to say to get my 10 posts. Its funny that dd-wrt forums don't have this restriction, and I don't see these spamming issues or silly restrictions. Basically I feel that the community on here is a bit sanctimonious and pompous.
