I think you need X amount of posts before you can post in the dev section.

Answer some questions in Q&A or join in on a discussion in General. You do have to have 10 posts to post in other, development-related forums. That doesn't mean spam out 6 more posts to get there. Your spam posts could possibly be deleted, lowering your post count anyway, so do it right the first time.
Plus, spamming to get 10 posts makes you look like a douche. And nobody wants to look like a douche.

Development Threads. Please keep comments in general.

A mod has had to delete a thread for maintainance and explicitly tell people not to post off topic only to have the same thing just continue one thread over in the racing build thread unless that is really 13 pages of useful information. Instead of telling to people to stay on topic and continue the trend I made this post.
Could everyone keep the dev threads to dev posts. If you have a bug make a logcat. If you want to say thanks start a single thanks thread in general, I am not sure if thats kosher but at least if the mods have a problem with such thanks thread they can just delete it without having to go through and look for actually useful posts.
Mods on this

There is a Thanks button, use it.
Do not post Woop! Or nice job! or anything else that has nothing else to do with Development or this thread will be closed. I am sick of clearing out blathering.

Bro, I have no idea what you said but I think I agree

we had to clean up a lot of useless comments in that topic which were nothing related to development at all
please keep all chatters in General
feel free to open a new topic for the specific ROM in question
but do not CLUTTER the Development topic with comments that provides no value in the development.

I feel for you guys, You post that people not to go off topic then people posting like you didnt just tell them not to go off topic.

The people even reading this post are the people who probably don't need to be told. It Sucks because the annoying posters are ruining it for those following the rules. The most I type in a dev thread is f5 sigh.

I think they should probably close the thread for a day or two which would force people to make a thread in general. The mod warnings seem to be immediately ignored
look at this gem which obviously belongs here

this is aside from all the variations of posts with know bugs followed by a thanks

It would just be easier for us to report the people who don't follow. People forget about the report button.
The same moderator has to clean one of the threads twice already. I wish all the Dev threads were cleaned up. There's a lot of garbage in a lot of them. People posting first, second, third.....downloading now, will report later. Or thanks! Your awesome.....there's a thank button for a reason.

Its kinda hopeless right now because if you look at the threads. A mod will clean it up and put up a notice to stay on topic and literally minutes later it will go back to offtopic posts.

They keep doing it cuz no one reports the individuals. If they are never penalized for their behavior, then they will never correct it.

People are reporting them and the mods are aware. Allgamer posted on this thread that they are aware of it. It just keeps coming from different posters.

Wait, what? How does that logic work?
It is easier for us to to go through and report each post so that a moderator is forced to look over each one and decide if it should be deleted or not than it would for people to act responsible for their own crap and just not post worthless stuff in a dev thread?
Sure it might be easier for me to just report each post instead of trying to educate anyone, but now because one person is doing whatever they please I have to report them AND a moderator has to take the time to go and delete it.

Aside from the fact that people are reporting people, it just doesnt stop and keeps going faster than the 60 second between reports rule sometimes

Well, now the thread is closed. Those who made it happen by posting useless crap will probably not learn anything from it either. Sigh.

I have a quick question in regards to that RaverX thread that just closed:
For those of us that DO want to follow the rules and prefer to follow the progress of the ROM, where do we go from here? I know the ROM is on sourceforge, so I can at least see if there are updates.
Should this have just been a PM, or are there others that share this curiosity?

ICS is awesome, but a lot of n00bs I have never seen post a single comment around here started posting out of nowhere lol.
I'm going to do something productive rather than be annoyed by these n00bs. I suggest you guys do the same.

I came from the G2 forum and own a sensation also. There seem to be more inconsiderate people here than either of those forums. I for one am glad those threads got shut down.

it would be opened shortly, but should be closed for now until it is cleaned up or until raver updates the ROM. So don't think it's the end of the world.

new update CMW update.zip versio

Hey Guys,
are there any plans by XDA faithful developers to import the new AT&T update (7/10/2012) as a cmw flashable zip?
since those of us who rooted and have CMW installed cannot update, it will fail.
we need to either flash new stock recovery to do it. wecan either reflash root66 to get stock recovery back, use voodoo ota root keeper and do the ota update. or if someone make the update into a cwm flashable zip and you can just flash that in cwm.
anyone knows of such plans?
thank you.

This is not development. Why did you post this here? Reporting this to moderators. You should've posted this in the "General" or "Q & A" sections.

instead of being a smart a$$ simply write this is not right forum and i will be more then happy to delete the post and post in the appropriate location.
apologize for not knowing the A and B's of posting a question.
that being said, since the needed modification is done by developers rather then a generalist, and in fact one developer is needed to create such an update.zip file, adding to the fact not all sub forums are shown it was posted here.
if it hurt u so much, please accept my apology, i do not understand how a threat of "i am reporting you" should scare me... not sure...

Try the search function. If you did you would see there is one in general.

Get pissy all you want, but there are stickies in each section that describe where what kinds of posts go where.
Yours is in the wrong place. Again. You need to stop, read the FAQ and rules, and think before posting. You now have 2 threads started in Development that are going to be locked. We're not being asses, there's already enough clutter to sort through without stuff like this in Development.

Lol. I'm sorry but I can't help the fact that you are so emotionally unstable enough to take my whole post out of context.
1) I made absolutely no smart ass remarks.
2) because something that needs to be done by a developer doesn't mean that the question about it belongs in the development section. Read the rules dude.
3) there was no threat of "I'm reporting you!" There was a statement that said I was reporting the post. That means I was reporting to move it to the correct forum. Get with it and actually read. Emotions do not belong here in a development forum.
4) because of you outburst for no reason at all its very clear that you don't belong here on xda. Grow up please. Thanks. Have a good day!

Forum clean up?

Seems like the general section is filled with too many questions which should be in the Q & A and topics about accessories which also has its own section. Most the other sections on XDA I have been a part of had been stricter on this and moved a lot of threads to the appropriate sections which helped clean up the clutter.
The forum clean up helps users who want to avoid these topics and also users who want to do a search within the appropriate area. Its better for everyone.

If you want to avoid certain discussions...then don't click on them just to complain as you have. While you may feel this forum is cluttered some as opposed to the developer forums...others like myself don't. This isn't a place where people have to be a hard ass...it's the general section...not the developers section...and calling out the mods to move or merge topics just because you don't happen to like them is what gives this forum a bad reputation...

Hows it give the forum a bad reputation? Things like this drive others away and make it harder to navigate and do searches. I dont click on stuff I dont want to read. Every other XDA forum I have been a part of has been really good on putting things in the right sections or mods helped clean them up by moving them to the appropiate section. Why should this phones forum be so different? If your arguement was valid there wouldnt be sub sections for these topics.

Use the report option. If a thread is in the wrong section or a duplicate thread report that a mod close it or move it.

Change "Min.10 posts policy"

Hi
I am a junior member of XDA but I have a good experience of flashing ROMs. But the problem is that I cannot post any review/reply about that ROM due to this policy by which you should have minimum 10 posts. I understand that development-purpose threads are for developers but this policy restricts us to do any sort of development-related discussion even if we are capable of doing so. So I would request XDA to please remove the policy. Thanks.

Oh great. Another one of these threads...
It's only 10 posts. It's NOT 50, 100 or anything. It's ONLY 10. You're already half way there so go and help some people in your devices Q&A section to get your other 5 posts.
If your excuse is going to be that you haven't got the knowledge to help people out, then you have no need to post in development.
In fact, I pretty much guarantee you'll have nothing relevant to post in a development thread anyway.

If you can contact an administrator or senior mod, they may be able to help lift your restrictions. But you have to be able to convince them that you are knowledgeable. This is not guaranteed. Easiest thing to do is to hang out in the General Forums and help other new members so as to attain your 10 posts.
I'm personally tired of threads like these. Funny, I don't see anyone anywhere complaining about lifes rules. What's the difference here? Everyone here had to adhere to this rule, why should you or anyone else be any different? I just don't get it...

Ohh!!
Sent from my GT-S6102 using xda app-developers app

Well, removing isn't really an option, that would allow idiots to spam noob questions after 1 day.
But I've been here since mid 2011, been reading a lot, just not posting anything.
And I still have to meet the 10 posts rule. Maybe it's an idea to have either 10 posts, or being on the forum for a certain amount of time and have an x amount of pageviews or something.
Nonetheless, rules are rules, and rules are not to be broken :good:

For all you 10 post whiners in this thread, have a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166989
A thread created by a new member. 4 of his 5 posts are uuseless threads ffor which answers can be easily found by a bit of searching, what would happen now if this Guy was let loose in the development forum? I am not saying that all of you are like this. I have also seen some members whose first post was an extremely informative thread, but that's at a minority. Rules are rules and they are there for a reason, i realized this after staying on xda for more than 1.5yrs
