I've been following Leedroid and updating with is releases. I wanted to post that I had donated in recognition of the nice fix he did for 3.06 tonight but obviously as a lurker I've been blocked.
new members are restricted from posted in development threads until they have 10 posts.
Maybe you could PM the dev and let them know in the meantime
Well played for donating. I think the dev will appreciate the sentiment more than the money maybe, as so few give while so many leech. Welcome to the forums too btw.
Once you make 10 posts all XDA features will be automatically unlocked
aw man, a whole ten posts? ::slides in another one nonchalantly:: @[email protected]
~le poof~
Actually being a newbie myself I completely forgot about this place since it requires 10 posts in order to get into any real discussion. Why is the limit so high? I thought spam bots just do a single post then move onto the next forum? Unless there has been trouble before with bots posting in multiple forums?
The reason why 10 posts seem so high for someone new is that, well for me personally, I have to find topics where I can actually half help someone since I don't want to look like I'm spamming just to get my post count up. This is very time consuming, all I wanted to do is do a reply to a topic then lurk again until another question crops up which I can answer.
^agree with you and I also feel a bit of this 10 post count stuff.
Please see the thread "Postcount limit in developmental fora" for a full explanation on the 10 post min.
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).
Same error

you dont bring up dead threads from 5 years ago, seriously.
I'm a bit confused. I was wanting to post a response to this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076150&page=233
... and the forum said that I couldn't post to it until I had posted 10 posts total.
However, the last person to post to this forum had only posted ONE post.
?????
Users who joined before the restriction were "grand fathered" in, allowing them to post with less than 10 posts.
Can I just mention that I think this is a silly restriction?
I've been developing code for almost 35 years, and to restrict me from posting to a developers forums until I post 10 posts in other forums is frankly ...
silly ... not to metion useless.
What's to prevent a 12-year old with TONS of time on his hands, to post 10 times in one day and circumvent your restriction.
Whereas, serious developers, like me, are interferred with and hampered.
Wow.

My friend, this has been covered time and time (and time) again. If you've developed code for thirty-something years, you have the skills and the nouse to help ten members in the Q&A thread. Then you can post in a Dev forum.
Even Linus Torvalds' first post shouldn't be in a Development forum.
I was able to post before but now restricted to post... Now I am trying to meet the requirement.

Try to check your email and click on the url sent to you by the admin, to complete your registration.
oh my oh my oh my oh my oh my....
Does nobody read anything anymore....
Pick any thread in this section and theres a very high chance that it will be another "whaa whaaa whaa I can't post yet" thread...
That is why the rule is there...
I know this isn't helpful and didn't answer your question but it really has been answered so many times theres no need to do so....

Yes, for the development forums. Too many new members are posting pointless questions that have been asked 100's of times before and cluttering th threads, or just posting thanks. There are Q&A forums for questions you need to ask, and maybe answer a few to get your post count up.
Hi dudes and dudettes
Today, I have been appointed as the moderator for this forum.
Dont worry, I am not here to write a bible of rules for you.
Well, just 4
1 - Search before you post a new thread, a question, or a suggestion.
2 - Be tolerant towards other members. Don't forget you were a noob yourself.
3 - Donot take matters in your hands. PM me or another mod with the link to the post and why you think it should be reported.
4 - Use ENGLISH
This site is a learn from everyone site. I have learnt a lot in the last 4 years I have been on it.
Feel free to PM me at anytime with whatever you need or want or discuss or even a hello.
Cheers guys!

Hey Guys
I spoke to deadlyCoder over PM and he says that there was a misunderstanding from other devs and they don't want to release it now so he asked the mod to close the thread.
So that's why the thread is closed.
PS: I apologise to theDeadlyCoder for my outrage, I take back everything I said as I was angry, no hard feelings I hope?
Cheers

You guys might get a surprise by the end of the week, who knows
Please don't pm dev about it, just be patient!
OFF TOPIC:
NOTE TO EVERYONE (and myself): Guys lets respect one another and not discourage others and be horrible about it, how would you feel if that was you on the receiving end? I know some people have been horrible to Ronnie but what good does that do? Why do that???
Anyway I will try to keep the forum and other peoples feelings happy at least from my side. If you do make a mistake, it doesn't cost anything to say "Sorry"
