I know this has nothing to do with the kaiser, but I was wondering how you "go up in the ranks on this site" I've been a junior member for dumb long and I see people that have been members for a shorter period of time than me that are already senior members
It's an annual fee of $3409475345. Expensive, but worth it.
Seriously though, you have to hit 100 posts.
Ooooooooooh Ok thank you very much I was wondering.

DRUGS...Responsible For Teaching America's Youth The Metric System!
That is BOMB! So funny...and so true!
In 8th grade my science teacher was trying to tell his class that the Metric system and the Standard system were incompatible and asked his class; "how many grams was in an ounce?"
My reply was "28 grams, 29 in the bag". His face turned red as he was a secret stoner~ He told me I was wrong but we all knew he was BS-ing...

Ali G made a joke about it over here once, when he was interviewing some poor dupe.
The guy was one of these fellas that was up in arms about the increasing use of metric measures in Britain.
Ali asked him something to the effect of "So you fink dat schoolkids should be taught to use ounces, eighths, quarters and sixteenths?"
The guy unknowingly agreed to schoolchildren being taught to use these popular measures of hash!

As far as I know, your post count is derived from how many original posts you made in separate threads. You can post as many times as you want in the same thread, however it won't pad your post count.

Not true. Most of my first 100 or so posts were helping noobs use Dutty's ROMs so I was always posting in the same few threads.

I was just wondering why I cannot add a Signature, like I want to put my phone, the custom ROM I am using etc.. like a load of other members have done.
And like a previous post named "restricted" :
Fallen Spartan said:
A few changes have been created to help the fight against spambots. As such all new members (until they reach 5 posts...used to be 8 but I believe its been reduced to 5) will have some restrictions such as unable to post links, access to certain areas and also their first 5 posts are monitored and approved. Once you have reach this limit these restrctions will be removed.
Thanks for you patience in this matter

Hi, I can´t find any forum rules that help me to answer the question, how many posts you have to write, until u can use a signature.
When does a junior member/member become a member/senior member?
By the way: I did not only serch this forum but also used google search, but found nothing. Same in forum rules.
So I would be glad, to get a definite answer and no advice, to serch the web once more !
Thanx!

Junior member - 0 to 49 posts
Member - 50 to 99 posts

We have purposely not written anywhere the amount of posts required for a new user to be able to use links etc. This is in place to combat spammers.

Thank you very much. Now things are clearer for me. So I have to write more, but I´m interested not only to write rubbish, to reach the limit.
Makes perfect sense, over at LPF (laser pointer forums) theres a ten post limit till you get all the goodies unlocked, it has effectivly eliminated 90% of spammage, and the mods get to choose if you can have a sig or not, depending on how "vulgar" you are. most frown upon vulgarity in most mature comunities such as XDA. excellent implementation i say
(cant wait for my sig though )

I don't think so.
If the restriction is the same as posting links, try adding one now.
Signature size restriction
I was wondering if there were any plans on putting in a signature size restriction? Some of these can get pretty ridiculous and take up a lot of screen space, especially when they post many times in one thread so you have to see it over and over and over.

Or you could read here
Could signatures always be shown as an option in the User CP, but be greyed out with a quick blurb explaining when/where/how/why they will be allowed? On treocentral they always gave a warning on the page about not being allowed to see/post links until 10 posts.
I have no idea if this is even possible in vBulletin. I tried to google but didn't come up with anything so it might not be... but I figured I would make my case anyways.
It would be awesome if a senior member was capable of moderating their own thread. I know that as a rom developer for the cdma hero and a kitchen programmer, a thread can VERY quickly get out of control. It makes it impossible for someone that hasn't checked the thread in a few days (or hours) to find anything.
I think rather than asking a mod to take time out of their day to try and clean up posts isn't nice to them either.
So I'll ask... is it possible to add a feature for a senior member to be able to moderate a thread that they are the OP on. If it is but xda doesn't want to do that, what are the negative side effects that I'm not seeing? I figure if you are able to limit it to senior member and to their own threads then any shenanigans from this new power would mostly be avoided.
Thanks all!
This has been mentioned before. AFAIK, we have not yet found such a plugin.
Thanks,
Dave
The only negative side is that, "Senior Member" is just a title, I think you get it after like 100 posts? If this was to be implemented it should be like 500 posts to become Senior Member.
It does seem like a good idea, I think though, that some people would delete their posts that offend and then they can claim that they never said anything. This would have to be very carefully thought out and planned if this is possible to implement, because I know some people would use it for bad purposes.

What the OP is asking for is the equivalent of being able to throw someone in jail while that someone is in your house doing something that you believe shouldn't be done in the first place.
I think Uncle Ben said it better... "with great power, comes great responsibility"... and I don't believe that half the Senior members in this site are ready for that .

Yeah, thats why I said its not a good idea.
You can already help the moderators by reporting anybad conduct, it makes it easier since all they have to do is look at the post and edit it or delete it or ban.

So it seems that everyone agrees, just with the caveat that the "senior member" should be a higher number of posts. Or possibly even a second level at 500 or 1000 posts, and THAT'S the level you have to hit in order to be able to moderate your own posts.
I actually tried to go post on vBulletin's support forum but it appears that you need to buy support in order to even be able to create a new post there? Kind of crazy. Ha. I'll keep looking to see if I can find a plugin, because without it this doesn't even exist as an option.
Thanks for the feedback all.
Edit: I don't know enough about vB's settings but according to ChopSuey (a vB coder) this should already be possible: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=1919340&postcount=11. What he says makes it sounds like that would allow someone to modify any thread, and not their own. But you would think a coder of the app would know. Ha. Maybe it requires version 4.x? I know xda has been talking about upgrading for a while.
We're looking for a way in vB to allow certain people (of a given usergroup) to moderate their own threads. If anyone finds a way, please let me know!
it wouldn't do to simply count posts
there's users having an amazing amount of redundancy, repetition and even irrelevance (chat like) accumulating their post counts that wouldn't be considered with this method alone
the title (if differentiated more fine grained than junior, member, senior) would only be meaningful if it was combined with e.g. a user rating (reputation), derived from other users

That would require members to rate other members and even though the ability to do that exists (at least for threads), hardly anyone does it.

Hi!
Do you think that we should have more ranks on XDA like on other forums (PPCgeeks, MoDaCo)? Because after we reach the 100 post count, we are just 'senior members' and are ranks stay like that. It would be nice if we introduced more ranks, i.e - 200 post, 300 post we get new ranks!
Thanks!
Yea that would be nice but until then you got to love with it

@OP,
I´ll bring this to discussion
yeah, i'd say i would enjoy it. not really a necessity, but it'd be kinda cooool, lol
Great idea, i hope that it's implemented.
It might be a nice perk for those who donate - on other sites, once you've become a 'premium member' or donated a certain amount you have the ability to change your own title.
Thumbs up for this idea!
Why bother
Surely admin have better things to do - then come up with pointless words under our names? OK it may be fun, but still pointless, though I do like reinbeau's idea.
How about donating some money instead and have some lovely gold stars under your name -

XDA is a developer site
not a fun site
it's geared towards Programmers, Coders and ROM Chefs and all GOD almighty people beyond your regular user that comes joins, download the ROM and flash the phone, or download their Apps and go merry happy go round.
though the forum welcomes any feedback from the users regarding ROMs, MODs, HACKs, & APPs
it's not your regular forum to hang out and chill, as some people takes it for granted, and also brings all their ego and fights, etc, which turns this place more like a Playground than a Development Board
As you can see with all that in mind, there's no real need to add more Ranks as it's not a site for people to earn rank, unless you can Code, Develop, and make something useful and provide it for FREE to the members of this board.
I honestly don't see any benefit in this. Nonetheless is may or may not be harmless. I'm for one is don't care about ranks. I'll even get pointers/tutorials from new members with less than 10 post. It doesn't matter anyways.
Yes e all have our own opinions. But why not? It doesn't sketching a ifferwnce whether this site is a fun site or not. it just gives members more incentive. I guess thatas my own opinion though.

Well, as I suggested, it could just be a perk for those who donate - I don't see a lot of stars on many of the threads I participate in, I was just trying to come up with a creative way to fund raise to support the site.
XDA is growing, and you're attracting lots of new people - and many here are over the top helpful. So you're going toget a more social atmosphere as the site grows. That can be a good thing, as long as it's managed well - considering the audience, management is going to become more and more of an issue (I'm a moderator on a huge forum myself).

If people want to help ONLY to get to their new "rank", then that goes against what xda is all about. People here help others because they want to help, not because they want a higher "rank".

It is sometime not allowed compare the ROM
You will be deleted
Other time is that allowed and it is good to know witch one is faster!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039418
and the worst one reason is
it is prohibited to
use any test apps to measure the real values of the +- 10 %
you must say to someone if something made
. it fill good
. it seem for my is is quickly
. it is good
. my poll say it is good
if you say a friendly to someone, that did not do anything with his new version and that what he did not show any results
you whole post will be deleted
If you come with the results (show pictures from that) you will be banned 3 days.
They have rules for everyone member other one rules!
I`m old member I follow not only the apps or the roms or the kernels
I follow also development of the whole site and whole country and whole country's?
