5 Million Members upcoming - About xda-developers.com

Looking at the them number of members (4,547,000 today) I noticed that it was getting very close to 5 million. :laugh:
Do the mods have anything special planned?
Members, what would you like to see happen for the 5,000,000th member?
Personally, I think a special badge and a custom signature would be appropriate, as long as it's not a spam bot.

For simply joining? No. If people want a special badge and custom signature then they can achieve that by learning and sharing their knowledge and applying for the Recognized Contributor or Recognized Themer title.

I think we're quite a way off 5m yet...
Look at when the 4m member mark was breached, and compare that to today. It will be about that again until 5m members

hello
Wow, this is awesome...
Many people love xda
thanks you

At our current rate it will take almost 300 days to reach the 5 millionth member.

I think that was a typo, he meant 50 posts. Junior members are from 1-49 posts I believe as well, then members are from 50-99, then senior member after that.
Edit: I confirmed that it is actually junior member from 1-29 posts, then member from 30-99, then senior member after that.
Post count
Junior members are 0-9
Member 10 -99
Senior member - 100 +
the snr member one should be higher, I don't consider myself as a snr member
Should be more ranks.. like Veteran and OlĀ“Timer. Also, It shouldn't be based on post count entirely but also on how long you have been a member.

No because I reckon that's unfair. Somebody may have been member for like three years but barely done anything whereas somebody who is has been a member for smaller amount of time can have a higher post rate but I do agree with the more ranks idea

Ranks should be based on helpfulness and amount of time here both. 3 ranks. Leecher---u just creep around never helping and downloading everyone's work without ever giving helpful feedback or learning anything. Member---u contribute when u can and have tried to help other members in a respectful manner, as well as being a member of xda for at least 6 months. And finally, Jedi---u have donated, helped members at every turn, have been a member for at least 1 year, have a post count of 1000 +, and at least 10 people must be able to give positive feedback about you here.

I'll sum it up for you (or try, anyway!)
There are Junior Members, Members, Senior Members first. These make up the vast majority of XDAs userbase.
Recognised Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognised Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognised Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognised Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application (see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum - currently applications are not open). They are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Hopefully that clears most of them up for you
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.

I personally they should have a rank called "XDA's Aid" and it should be you need to have over 500+ posts, have 750+ thanks and has a good reputation spelling and someone what helps XDAs users out.
As soon as I am a senior member I am going to try and become a moderator.

I disagree with this category. "Just creeping around" i.e. reading a lot, learning a lot and sure, downloading, is exactly what we want newbies to do rather than immediately posting questions that have been asked before. If it's possible to categorise to that extent based on forum browsing behaviour, then I suggest this group be called Noble Learners.
Lol if you're going for posts, you could add in where you actually post. Normal XDA members can't access what amounts to probably 80% of my posts because they're in the special boards where you can't read them.

What In The World Is Going On With XDA As of Late?

I'm sure I'm not the only person who notices, but the past couple of weeks or so, XDA has been downright ridiculous...or should I say the members?
People are so tense. People don't even bother to read. Most of the time, the answer is just a few messages back. No OP's are being read. People are just....I don't know. It's like everyone is on smack or something. What makes it worse, is that the same questions get asked many times and yet, people keep on asking.
This creates problems, because the people who need help cannot find it, through the continuous garbage that's being spilled and it seems as if the mod(s) have gone missing...or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. Then, we have the people who hide under the guise of being a "newb" hoping that, it'll give them an excuse, when apparently these same people have been on this site, for quite some time and some KNOW better. Haha, then they get upset when their answer isn't spoon fed to them.
*sigh*
I mean, REALLY people, what's going on? You can call this a rant if you choose, but I feel better now. People, just read....and experiment. There's no reason why you be asking how to use a rom specific feature in a rom. Not with videos and well written guides out there.

this would stop happening if all the "helpful" users stopped spoonfeeding this lazy ppl answers... those users think they are helping ppl but what they dont realize is that they are actually making those lazy users stupider and when they have issues they will start useless threads and start posting usless posts in the dev section... that is why i say either ignore these posts or give a reply that requires them to read.. like when i read stupid question in the PA thread i reply with "either search the thread or read the paranoid 101 thread that is linked in my sig"
PS- honestly if the answer is on the same page that they posted on or 1 page back, then those users should not be allowed to flash roms IMO
This happens all the time all over xda happened in the evo forums when it was popular and right now and has been popular. Especially when sprint had a deal on them. Just try to remember it the Internet... We were all noobs

Dude, you read my mind ENTIRELY! There's always that person who replies after you and tells the person who asks, the entire thing. Then, we get looked at as the bad guys. It's not that at all. We care enough about the community, to want everyone be knowledgeable in these things. Think of the people who, after reading, may become developers down the line. They need to learn. How about said persons power goes out. How in the world would they know how to preserve their devices to the fullest, if they DON'T have knowledge? There IS no asking "Hey, I'm a newb and my power is out. How do I set my brightness to a lower level and clock my CPU down, so I can save some battery?" At that point.
It ticks me, because instead of being able to easily find and help hose who need it, or to find out information, I have to wade through countless pages of garbage, just to find what I'm looking for. No to mention, that Tapatalk isn't search friendly. I just hope people will "go the extra mile". Not just for themselves, but for the community as a whole.

R: What In The World Is Going On With XDA As of Late?
Whats going on its inevitable for every forum
because there are 2 kinds of people in a forum:
- people that read every single word in every single post in every single thread
- people that come for the first time, open a thread (existing nor new ) and simply ask a question
Both are not to blame everyone is free to choice what to do in life
But when those 2 kind of users meet, its "war"..and this is wrong, because both will need to understand each other scope.

Better here than in some other places
I came here from rootzwiki where it was not uncommon to see threads with > 2k pages. I jumped on the mmuzzy bandwagon and when I tried to post I got hand-in-face - I wasn't allowed to post in a dev forum. Completely understand, and appreciated that as well as the rules for duplicate threads and locking threads. So I guess if I post 10 times in this thread I'll be allowed to post in a dev forum, but I hardly ever do.

Well in the "newbs" defense a lot of the rom or mod threads are so ridiculously long and filled with hundreds of pages of "wow smoothness rom Eva!" so it unrealistic to ask them to read 1000 pages to find an answer to a simple question. Add to that some OP are terribly out of date or empty of real information.
Not excusing all of them but, don't let it bother you too much.

[Off-topic] If you see a member of higher ranks, do you instantly have more respect?

Hey guys.
I've been thinking about this, and it got me wondering..
If you see someone with a Recognized Contributor title, Recognized Developer title, or anything else higher than 'senior member' do you find yourself having more respect for those types of people versus a senior member telling you something? This applies to questions being answered, opinions, or any other given situation. If this thread gets 'popular' I'll throw up a poll.
Also, please do us all a favor and elaborate on the reason(s) why you said yes, no, or anything of the like.

Exactly what he said. *footnote being there are lots of senior members that if you look at their info have been members since 2007 but have very little posts and thanks. And their questions or answers very often reflect that. So I tend to look at that as well when trying to decide if I'm going to take their opinion seriously or as pertinent as someone else.

Usually respect comes out of combination of their rank, number of posts and thanks.
Also when you follow particular threads like a hawk, the members worth respecting are visible on every next page.

I mostly always use xda app so ranks/posts/thanks aren't readily visible, but even when they are known I simply respect those that are respectful. On my last phones forum I lost quite a bit of respect for some of the devs actually just for their portrayed superior attitudes. If you don't like someone coming in and asking a repeat question (which I do understand can be frustrating) just ignore them, all the flaming just intensifies the problem.
I also agree about signatures asking for thanks, while I enjoy seeing my thanks meter go up it doesn't actually mean anything in the grand scheme of things. And while I'll still give a thanks if I appreciate the post, I'm less inclined too when the person asks for it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Hell no thanks don't matter. Anyone who's ever been to OT knows that the number of thanks a member has doesn't have anything to do with how knowledgeable they are.
As far as a contributor or dev, I don't judge somebody by the color of their name, I'm not a namecist.
Anyways the majority of posts and questions are more user related, so they do not require someone with vast knowledge of coding/themeing/etc. Anyone can answer a thread like HLP BATTRY FUUUU!, not just a "higher ranked user".
Having all of the requirements and becoming recognized should grant that user immediate respect. Devs too.
Users with hella post and thanks have probably seen a thing or two so they get respect but you gotta watch some of em lol
I wouldn't "instantly" respect anyone. Respect isn't something that should be just given away, people who actually deserve it get it.
Well yeah I guess. Only higher than me is RD, RC and Moderator. Senior Member status is earned by such a small amount of posts that I think it should be raised to 1,000 posts. It should be something that takes longer to achieve.
Thanks for all of your responses guys!

i look at EVERYTHING. sig, info in the sig, posts, thanks(meaning what you were thanked for), join date and then i'll also look at past posts ... ESPECIALLY if the person is trolling. even if it wasnt intentional trolling.
there are some people tho that have 10k posts because all they post is "SEARCH" ten times or bump their friends threads all the time. and then thats why they have 100k thanks. that person i will flame til deaths end and its because they are the people that are detrimental to this community. I admit my stats arent the greatest here but mostly because i have been using forums for the past ten years and have decided I have better things in my life to pick on people that are on the internet. I am here to help people out.

I don't necessarily automatically respect them, I just use the title and post count as a quick gauge of whether I should trust their opinion. That being said, I've seen a lot of people (like ben.nesheim said) that pad their post count with useless crap. There are a lot of people here that I know have high post counts that I don't trust on anything, and dread seeing their name in a thread. Then there are others that only have hundreds of posts (sometimes less) that are the most helpful and knowledgable people you'll find, they just don't post drivel. I think the title and post count are great quick indicators, but nothing more. Once you get into recognized developer or contributor territory, I give them a little more credit right off, but to me the respect still has to be earned.
And like EddyOS said, the signature tells you a LOT about a person. I make it a point not to hit the thanks button if your signature asks for it. We all know why its there, you don't need to remind me.

Support evil1art and petition to have him be recognized as a developer

Never realized xda member, themer, developer evil1art isn't listed as a developer here on xda. I'm always on tapatalk so I never noticed his avatar info.... till now.
How the funk isn't he a recognized developer? Argh!! Rally the troops.
** Petition sent to one Kenny Glass, for a prompt developer recognition of one evil1art**
I've used evil1art's ROMs spanning three devices and I always use his ROMs the most by FAR! I'm a flash-aholic and evil1art has me addicted to his crack. No matter which ROM I try I find myself back on a Wicked ROM.
Evil1art is a developer in my eyes. Let's show him our support and get him officially recognized by XDA. PM your local moderator. It takes 60 seconds. Politely tell them how much you love evil1art's ROMs.

MOD EDIT: See Venum's closing post! Also spend 2 seconds and google Recognized Developer XDA application before wasting everyone's time on a petition
Its great to support your xda developers, all he has to do is follow the application process with his development work once they open the app process again. Im sure hes well aware and has without question put the work in to be accepted, but xda doesnt exactly have a petition process. Its up to the developer to follow the proper procedures to have their xda status changed.

Xda removed my RT title for unjust reasons and after I appealed it they still gave no reason! I doubt I will contiue to upload work to a website that doesnt appreciate the 100,000 plus downloads, over 1,000,000 views on 1 rom and all the free work I post here.
My profile shows 1 infraction they are saying 2? Gave no reason for the second one so who knows. I was called every name in the book and all I said was I hope they choke, thats it! I see devs do a hell of alot more vulgar things on here!
So follow me on twitter and fb because my links maybe getting pulled!

Sorry to hear that Evil. Love your work. I'm hoping that will not happen but if it comes down to it. I will continue to follow.

I was thinking same thing to do for him. This is too ridiculous.
Xda need to think about this. I have seen many developers leaving xda. And evil is someone which xda dont want to loose.
MODS NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS.

How can he not be a developer ? One of the best if you ask me. You got my support
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
I support this movement also- seems absurd that he's not already recognized. In my opinion, he builds the best and most stable roms. PERIOD.
XDA- get it together.
Evil im with you bro. Your roms are the only ones I run.
If XDA cannot see how awesome your work is...then its their loss.
You leave and I will follow. Period.

I support evil as a dev, total awesomness comes from this guy, and thanks to the OP for making this thread, I was considering this myself but I didn't know all the facts, so I didn't want to ask for forgivness later. Sadly, if evil pulls his links, I don't have fb or twitter so I don't have that access. I am subscribed to this thread now to stay current and give all of my support to evil and his work. :good:
When I got my S4 I was a little worried about the available ROM's but evil has put together something really nice and has something for everyone.
He has several things in his ROM's that I had never seen before and they all work as they were intended. I have installed several ROM's over several devices. It would be a very good thing to see evil get RD status, his work is amazing.
thanks

Evil1art = DEVELOPER Come on XDA moderators
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I've always laughed at that title too. @evil1art runs the galaxy devices. Wicked ROM is always the most used, mist stable, has the most views and has a very active thread. Even better the thread activity is almost never bug related. XDA is weird. A lot of very contributive members have been denied RC status even. Mods are getting crazy here. Its a development site for developers to develop and share. If you are developing, and sharing, who is to say that a person is not a developer. Whatever. Keep me posted Nick if you start posting elsewhere.
PMing kennyglass now

Nope sorry.

Because Infamous is too boss for XDA.
I am not certain about what happened regarding all of the Infamous threads being locked, and under what circumstances this has occurred. All I do know is that there were thousands of xda members who have downloaded Infamous ROMs, and whom were very intune with many of the threads, as the over 10,000 posts and over 1,000,000 views indicate, and now all these members, including myself, are left in a lurch, so to speak, as there will not be anymore updates, ROM participation, communication amongst the members who had a vested interest in all of the Infamous ROMs, in addition to missing out on the camaraderie, which in my opinion, was the most important feature of Infamous Development, members helping members, and gladly doing so, which xda is all about.
Just my 4 cents, for what it's worth.
I for one, will surely miss the Camaraderie, of that there's no doubt....
I thought the updates were going to be on their website

Damn shame this type of censorship.
For the past 5 years, the USA has been full of it, and it's getting worse.
I see it's not an isolated problem.
That's really too bad. No notification, or anything.
Wow! smh is all I've got to say.
Wow! smh....... some more......
Break rules, pay the piper. Simple as that.
"Second class development" haha

Yall do know he left and ASKED to have his threads locked and to be banned because he acted like a child stomping his feet crying because he lost his dev tag. Which to be quite honest, he modded stock roms and added strings to the settings of aokp for app shortcuts and renamed aokp like it was all his work.
If yall want to stomp your feet? Stomp them at Jamison for acting like a child about it and leaving on his own want.

He literally asked for it kid. I saw the post. Literally word for word "lock my posts and ban me" after crying like a 2 year old and cussing at mods. For a Marine, he sure doesn't act like one.
But anyways. This is q&a not moan about bans. Have a good one trolling

And Because he is a Marine, and the way I've seen him handle himself in the threads and posts that I've been able to read, I'll give Jamison the benefit of the doubt.
Being a Marine and serving in the Armed Services goes a long way with me....
And being a Marine, amongst other reasons, most likely gave Jamison the fortitude to realize that all of this drama just ain't worth it, and wasn't going to sacrifice his morals and beliefs, and acquiesce to those whom he felt were not giving him a fair shake. I'm not speaking for Jamison, but this is how I feel, without knowing All the facts, but going on what I do know and have read....
I'm out too, as I'd like to see this thread stay open so that members have a little something to read regarding the closing of all these threads. Members at least deserve to know what occurred, where ever the cards may fall, but sadly that may never happen, and that's the most important issue as I see it regarding all of this.....
This Thread is Closed as it is just causing more un-needed drama; the threads in question are closed as the OP has chosen to leave XDA.
