[FAQ] User signature?

Is there a way I can add my own signature on here? I heard that it is in USER CP but the option isnt there ...

This was an effort to combat spam, and it's had a huge impact! You'll be upgraded to a full account after a certain number of posts (5 - 8 depending on the feature)--it happens automatically. Sorry for the inconvenience

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.

I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!

I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

You should be all set now, check your User Control Panel

finally i found the way!!!thank you

At last I found out why I cant use signature.
I will be using the "search" more.

ah so
so that's why I couldn't see it, cant wait to unlock my sig status

Ya the post limit thing when you start a new account is a good idea to keep the spam to nothing..

Been readying these forums for a while now and finally signed up and that was the first thing I went to go do so I could edit mine to say phone type and what rom and all that nifty stuff nice t see I'm not going crazy and it really wasn't there lol

But you could post it in General, and then help a few people out while you were there, in Q&A, if your device has one. Don't bother with useless posts, they will be deleted and you'll never get to 10.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.

If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.

Why did this thread get unlocked? Now it's more noobs that can't read and just complain again.

I requested that it remain open. I've helped out others with legitimate issues before here. Also, leaving it open allows mods to track spammers easily.

Someone's value isn't by post count, its by what they contribute.
At the very least, he doesn't spam ?
idk why you're chewing him up over it. its a good app

Forum Suggestion

I hope this is the correct forum..
I think it would be awesome if we could receive some sort of notification (or popup) when we are quoted in a thread. Its much easier to keep up with questions and conversations.
As an example.. im on www.slickdeals.net and whenever someone quotes me i get a popup that notifies me and i can click on it and go straight to the comment that quoted me.
If this is already an option in the forum.. please let me know.
Thanks!

This doesn't exist here, but due to the number of users on XDA (approaching 4 million), it is highly likely to bring the site to a grinding crawl

There a lot of members incl. me who would like to see your work once again, but this is just wrong. Why harm the entire Community by doing this instead of just ignoring those members who bothers you?
I know exactly what you mean by lazy persons, there are just too many people who does not search or try to do something about their issues with their device themselves and just wants to be spoonfeed by others.
But please, bring back your work to the Z1 Compact section, if you don't want to then that's your choice.

Thank for all your work for Xperia Z1 compact
I like your amazing custom rom
I respect your decision but it's too bad

I agree, if you're so easily offended by people who aren't even aggressive but just a but dull, you shouldn't make a public release. All others have to deal with this as well, deleting a thread just because somebody posted something that might be considered a "negative comment" because he made a mistake is ridiculous. That doesn't reflect on the dev but that person alone, most people reading here are intelligent enough to recognize that.
Also, if people are making the same mistakes over and over, your documentation is probably lacking, and documentation is part of any release. And if people are supposed to test a release, they need to know how to use it. Plus it would be wiser to listen and consider the possibility that there's an actual bug instead of always saying "nah, you did something wrong".
Sorry to say that because I really appreciate his work and porting the Privacy Guard was a great unique feature, but at times munjeni was just rude for no reason. And this final move is an insult against everybody.

I am so sorry to these peoples! Next time anybody must be active instead of being silent and lazy for helping each other! My whole thread got 3 pages of negative reports but nobody chosed his 5 minute to try to help there, thats one of the reasons why I had decision to stop all my work. Hope moderators finaly close our thread?! Thanks!

I understand you, but you know right that you can Close the thread yourself? There should be a button for it in the "edit" option on the main post.

I know that but @KennyG123 told me that I need to contact moderators for thread close! I will contact administrator and ask him about my rights for my own threads since if these thing which @KennyG123 told me is true than I can not see reason why "we" r.c. or r.d. have these option available under thread menu, thats realy funny if we have no right for closing own treads or asking moderators for own thread deletion. I reported this post allready but thread is still opened.

Sorry, I didn't see the report for this one. And I apologize but RDs can close their own threads for any reason, RCs cannot. I apologize that the green of your username resulted in me only showing you the RC rules. Again apologies for not seeing that this morning.

Nope, else you would have known that already like the volte oreo thing, so please get your thread moved atleast or deleted.
I dont know whats the point of violating the rules and manners just because you think you would get a quicker response.
I would suggest you to get some patience and respect.

Yeah because this is just simply not possible in the XDA's forum.
You need to shout out to a *Moderator* who removes or moves your thread, or you just wait until somebody reports this thread..
