I feel the same way, im an it tech, and consider myself to have pretty good knowledge on roms, rooting, etc. I recently have spent the pass couple of days testing the miui rom for the xperia x10, for trip. I can post and bugs or fixes that ive discovered cause i dont have enough posts. I have to go around looking for irrelevant forums just to be able to post something, which in probably can be considered spamming. I hope Xda finds a better convenient way of controlling spammers but it is unfair for actual techs/future devs.
Regards
Add me to the list I'm to the point of using 2 or 3 different Rom parts to make my own yet can not post in the Android section

I really don't know xda's policy on making special exceptions, but here's what I did and would recommend to all of you:
Do some charity work by heading over to Q&A and answering some questions people have. Lots of the people there are the newest of the noobs and could really use some help. If you feel qualified to post on dev forums, then you definitely have the skills necessary to solve many of the questions people have there.
Just my 2 cents

This ^^^^^
If you make useful posts, then you will be able to post in dev... That's the precise purpose - it's to stop new users joining, and immediately asking questions in dev, or harassing devs for XYZ
...
If I can prove that I know how to build the AOSP and know my way around Android builds, do I still have to follow the post limit. At the same token doesn't it require some knowledge of programming in general to be in the devs section. Is there a hidden forum for the real developers also? Anyway I am new here but appreciate everything deeply. The bootloader tools are really appreciated. I don't see much of fastboot or a shell with a linux mini shell like kboot. Maybe I'll post a few more random posts.
Oh come on guys, it's only 10 posts. How hard is it to post something useful or meaningful 10 times?
yea this sucks lol

Your right its not a lot but if i've been reading the forums for months and just need to asking a quick question, it becomes a pain in the ass trying to get to 10 posts

But your question belongs in Q&A, hence your point is moot.
Questions are not development and belong elsewhere
Do you think a thread for people to post the 10 replys would be deleted? x)

Yes. I do .
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.

Thanks for the info

Hello. This is very stupid. 10 post for nobs isnt good idea.
Hi just seeing if I can post here

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 !....

To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!
Is there a Question?
The "error" you copied into your post, is pretty self explanatory. A new user cannot post links in their post until they have made approximately 8 to 10 posts.
Sounded pretty simple to me when I read it, they want people to actually have a level of participation in the forums before you're granted certain privileges, pretty reasonable to me.
I'm going through the "initiation"so don't mind me

I didn't get this question out of reading the first post. Obviously putting any links or even typing http:// in a post will block said post until your "participation" has been "proven"
This is a way to prevent Spam, but you should be able to post to most forums. IF you are trying to post to a Forum Marked "Development" then you will not be able to until you reach 10 posts. Those are the rules.

XDA should increase the post limit to 50 to have other access to threads since it would make it more of serious matter to becoming a more true member of the forums.

If i have to wright first 10 post for geting the acces to wright in this post what i like to wright in is this then not spaming?
sorry but i have to get my 10 posts
Cant wait to get through the devs thread....
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.

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.
I am sorry for starting a new thread but I am a new user on this site and I am using NRG's rom and would like to provide feedback.The site has a 10 post pre-requisite to post in developer forums. Is there any way to remove this early. I don't have too much to discuss on the forum otherwise.
Thanks for reading this.

There is no way to lower that, however, there no doubt is a General section where you can post regarding the ROM - also, where you might be able to post helping those who need help. You'll get to 10 posts in no time that way
Yeah I guess your right about that one. lol Fine!
Good call on asking politely instead of just spamming ten posts

I generally like to be nice to the people that help others. Lol no point in pissing anyone off when I'm looking for answers. By the way you guys are awesome.
