The order goes like so: (least powerful at the top, most at the bottom)
Junior Member (less than 10 posts)
Member (more than 10 posts but less than 100 posts)
Senior Member (anything more than 100 posts)
RC, RT (people recognized for their theming work and/or contributions)
RD (people recognized for their development work)
Senior RD, Elite RD (higher up ranks of developers)
Forum Moderator (moderators who look over a specific section of the forum)
Senior Moderator (the next-up moderator rank, who moderate the entire site and other such things.)
Assistant Forum Administrator (self-explanatory, an example is @the_scotsman)
Forum Administrator (highest of the obtainable ranks, @bitpushr, @svetius and @MikeChannon are good examples)
The News Writer ranks don't fit into the list above - they're just ranks given to people who write the XDA news, whether they're a moderator or not.
There are also a number of RCs who have either applied for or been nominated for the "rank" of XDA Assist. You'll know who they are when you see that their rank is "Recognized Contributor" and there is a small blue tag underneath their rank that says "XDA ASSIST". An example of an XDA Assist RC is @R_a_z_v_a_n.
Hope this helps!

Ali G made a joke about it over here once, when he was interviewing some poor dupe.
The guy was one of these fellas that was up in arms about the increasing use of metric measures in Britain.
Ali asked him something to the effect of "So you fink dat schoolkids should be taught to use ounces, eighths, quarters and sixteenths?"
The guy unknowingly agreed to schoolchildren being taught to use these popular measures of hash!

As far as I know, your post count is derived from how many original posts you made in separate threads. You can post as many times as you want in the same thread, however it won't pad your post count.

And like a previous post named "restricted" :
Fallen Spartan said:
A few changes have been created to help the fight against spambots. As such all new members (until they reach 5 posts...used to be 8 but I believe its been reduced to 5) will have some restrictions such as unable to post links, access to certain areas and also their first 5 posts are monitored and approved. Once you have reach this limit these restrctions will be removed.

Hi, I can´t find any forum rules that help me to answer the question, how many posts you have to write, until u can use a signature.
When does a junior member/member become a member/senior member?
By the way: I did not only serch this forum but also used google search, but found nothing. Same in forum rules.
So I would be glad, to get a definite answer and no advice, to serch the web once more !

Thank you very much. Now things are clearer for me. So I have to write more, but I´m interested not only to write rubbish, to reach the limit.
Makes perfect sense, over at LPF (laser pointer forums) theres a ten post limit till you get all the goodies unlocked, it has effectivly eliminated 90% of spammage, and the mods get to choose if you can have a sig or not, depending on how "vulgar" you are. most frown upon vulgarity in most mature comunities such as XDA. excellent implementation i say

If the restriction is the same as posting links, try adding one now.
Signature size restriction
I was wondering if there were any plans on putting in a signature size restriction? Some of these can get pretty ridiculous and take up a lot of screen space, especially when they post many times in one thread so you have to see it over and over and over.

Or you could read here
Could signatures always be shown as an option in the User CP, but be greyed out with a quick blurb explaining when/where/how/why they will be allowed? On treocentral they always gave a warning on the page about not being allowed to see/post links until 10 posts.
Is there a rank past Senior Member?
Moderator. But you get that because you want to help XDA, so It's more like a Job than a rank.

Yes, it is. I too would like to volunteer to be a moderator, whenever the chance opens up again. I am an experienced moderator on another large forum.
At the moment there are 3 normal user titles I am aware of:
Junior Member
(Something I forgot)
Senior Member
I think that xda should make some more, and make them more relevant to the theme of the forum.
Also, if we could have custom user titles, that would be great!
Already been posted...perhaps Search practice might be useful?
XDA Search Video
juzz86 said:
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.

That wouldn't really do anything useful honesty. The titles we have now are just fine an serve their purpose perfectly.
Also adding new titles would drive the mods nuts, having to decide who deserves what an why. Then having to remove titles from people who abuse it.

there is no reason for anything beyond senior member because with anyone who has made 500 posts the thank count is more useful anyways...
although maybe something thanks based...
like after the title for every bar
ex Senior Member IX, Junior Member II, Member IV, etc
just a cool idea for IF admins are going to add/change titles and/or the titling system
It's been brought up before and the admins don't want rampant posters driving their count up just to get unique titles.

There should be an automatic title if over 1000 thanks.

Chances are someone with over 1000 thanks is already "recognized" or could easily apply for it.

I understand what the 10-post rule is for - it's to prevent really dumb questions getting in the way of productive work, in addition to preventing spam, obviously. But it can be a big problem for some people.
XDA is pretty much the only forum out there regarding the jailbreak for Windows RT. I'm working on some stuff, including a newly improved jailbreak, but I have no way to talk about it in these forums due to the 10-post rule. I'm a competent programmer who has been reverse engineering for many of her programming years, but can't find anyone to talk to about it. It's clear that I can make some contribution to the RT jailbreak community, as small as it is.
As for trying to get to 10 posts, how can I do that? I have an iPhone, not an Android. I don't know anything at all about Android jailbreaking or flashing, nor would I have any questions to ask about it. The forums I can post to don't really talk about anything outside of Android devices.
By the way, I ported the open source Windows debug tool Process Hacker to Windows RT. Of course, the Process Hacker forum on SourceForge has forced moderation, and apparently their mods haven't been online in a week, so my posts from this weekend haven't showed up yet. Similar situation to here, I guess, except for a different cause.
As for why I'm posting this, well, this is post number 4 out of 10...
You could try pm'ing a senior mod stating and proving that you are a dev and they might lift that restriction off you. But i don't know how long they might take to process that.
Just go to offtopic forum and post anything you want
Hit thanks if I have helped

A lot of us understand the issue you are posing here. I'm a Windows programmer, but I still had to follow the 10 post rule too. All of us did. There is a forum somewhere, lord knows there are plenty here, where you can post to help someone else out. I didn't know hardly anything about Android when I signed up here at XDA, but I did manage to contribute, and with out complaining about the rules. And now, a year later, I'm a Recognized Contributor. So, it's not that hard.
Rules are rules. Whether here, or out in the real world, they still stand.

Actually brother, you're wrong. You may barley be a Senior Member, but myself and coolsandie are RC's. I think it's time for you to reread the rules.

And op, you're at 10 now. 3 of your posts were spent btching about the rule. Good job. I hope you feel you have contributed to the forum by complaining about a simple request that is made that you make 10 useful posts before posting in the dev area.
/thread
we all know the side effects of the rule. no need for noobs to drone on about it
