SPAM Reporting Thread: This thread is to be used in reporting any and all found Spam.

Members, this thread is to report any found Spam.
And or hit the report button is also a great way to report the found spam, thanks in advance, for helping keep XDA clean.
Remember the Moderators are all in different time zones, and we are not able to be all over XDA even for some of us that do not have a life other than XDA, this is why we rely on those XDA Members to assist in either posting here or reporting the spam on the reporting system that goes to the Moderator Teams for those areas, and again we are all on different time zones on this World Wide Web.
>>>FOR MSG'S SENT VIA YOUR CONVERSATION (PM) INBOX ON XDA, DO NOT POST HERE, REPORT THE CONVERSATION VIA THE REPORING SYSTEM AND IT WILL BE ADDRESSED FOR YOU.
THANK YOU!

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

[ASK] Five minutes restrictions

Before to the topic, I say sorry if I post this in wrong SubForum, and I say sorry if I repost or reask it.
I wanna ask, every time I post my write on every thread, I got this message:
To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.

Nah, how to get my account verified by the moderators in this Xda Forum?
*Sorry for my bad english

All restrictions end at 30 posts. [GUIDE] How to be a New User (and not a noob)

It is not only a strict post count number, but we have other restrictions in place to prevent the ability to rapidly reach the limit. We have many spammers come in and try to hit the post limit, just to post links to whatever they are trying to spam. So it is not specifically targeting you, but just a general ruleset we have in place. If everything is good this restriction is automatically lifted.
Sorry for the confusion and welcome to XDA.

No bother, thank you for being here and trying.

What forum software does xda-developers runs on

Is phpBB, vBulltin, or any other?
PS: Is xda-developers forum software capible of showing the thread open time?
I often found it is difficult to tell which is newer one, until I click into it. Kinda time wasted just to see the freshness of thread.

vBulletin. Not sure what you mean by thread open time, the default sort is with the threads with the latest posts at the top. The stickied threads are at the top of course, so you might have to scroll down in some forums to see the threads with the very latest posts in there.
This might help: [GUIDE] - XDA New User Guide - The Visual Guide.

Ahh, I see what you meant by thread open time now. No problems with your English, I misunderstood. No, I don't see a way to sort by the start date. It is generally expected here that the first post of ROMs or guides get updated, so whenever it was started wouldn't matter.
Thank you,

Sorting them based on post count might work, as the most active rom threads will have tons of posts but sorting them based on last post (default) is better imo.
Can also sort according to 'Threads / Thread Starter', have no idea what those do besides mixing all the threads and confusing me. :silly:

How to tag someone in reply on XDA?

Hello
I am new to the vBulletin forums. I've used forums before, but mostly opensource types; phpBB, SMF, etc. I was going through some threads in the dev section of my phone and i noticed that the developer of the ROM asked to mention his username in the following format: @username so that he would get a notification that he was mentioned in a reply. His thread is huge, with thousands of replies, so i think it's obvious that he won't be able to go through all the constant new replies. My questions is simple: how do i mention the user? Should i click on the reply button to the post made by the member that i want to mention in my reply? Please explain the correct steps involved. Thank you! :cyclops:
EDIT: Oh, never mind, after submitting this post, i noticed that the MENTION tags were automatically added after the "@".

Hehe
Congratz! Thread closed.

Staff/Mod assistance required

1. How can I remove the posting limit, whenever I try to post it says try again in 5 minutes? Is this a temporary limit?
2. The XDA app frezes after every 5-10 minutes and then it force closes. I reinstalled it but that didn't work.
Sorry guys I don't know where to post such topics.
Please help staff.

To contact XDA staff, you don't need to make a post but just move your mouse and point to the list of moderators on top of every forum header to PM them directly also this can be done by clicking the orange triangle on every post title header on your right corner.
2) To understand posting limit , read this
5 minute restrictions, is due to some people who register on web sites ( any web site including XDA) just to advertise their product, sex trade or call girls services) they normally use bots ( spam bots, which automates their spamming) so you can have numerous threads created by a spammer in a forum or many forums within five minutes, and to try and stop them will be fruitless as they just joined to do it (spam) and quit the forum. They will register again once banned using another name and do it again, so imagine the life of moderator deleting the spam, can be hell indeeed, when this restriction is not practiced, although it will affect legitimate junior members, it cannot be helped till you are a member ( meaning proven as a credible person and valuable member of this community after the initial 10 posts)
3) regarding XDA app you need to post here read or search that thread before posting , might help you understand ho many times such issues had been reported or resolved.
