Hello,
I've been a registered user for a while now, but haven't tried to post until today. When I try to post a message containing a URL, I receive the following error:
"To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed"

Can one of the moderators please verify my account?
Thanks!

As far as I know, you will need a # of post (more than 5 I think) before you are allow to insert a link in any thread. I'm not a mod, but I read about this somewhere in this site : If I'm wrong, maybe a mod can correct me with this one
Have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636765 and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626993.
Yep, need something like 5 to 10 posts for links.
Hmm, ok, thanks. I just wanted to post a URL to my new project and gather some feedback, but I guess I'll have to lurk around longer and find some other stuff to comment on.
In the same boat as you.
But i guess its better than page on page with spam from bots
Yes, after a few posts the system and Moderators can see whether you are a genuine member or not.
In the meantime you can use links like this:
wwwdotxda-developers.com
You can always go back later and put in working links.

Had a look at your thread, posted comments, and the site; all seems in order.
As a courtesy, I have changed the links for you ... with an understanding that you will do your best to keep the thread active and help out members who post it in as best you can.
Cheers,
I cant write on nexus forum
I just wrote a "best contract deals" post for the HTC Desire, and discovered I can't post links yet ARG! So I have it saved in notepad until I've made a few more small comments like this to get enough posts to post links
Damn, I've got to wait 5 mins between posts too

As stated earlier, this process has been setup to combat spammers. I believe once you have more than 8-10 posts, this restriction is removed

What are the chances these rules can be adjusted so they aren't ridiculously frustrating? I can't post or edit my own posts without waiting 5 minutes, I can't post images or even quote images posted by other users. I've been viewing these boards everyday since I joined (about a week ago) and it's making the transition to participating VERY obnoxious

Sorry about the issues, we all had to go through it at one point. Since XDA is such a large and popular site we have been a big target for spam, so to make sure the boards arent full of ads and spam we have to make the rules a little strict. its only for 10 or so posts.

I believe you will now be out of the "initial" group, as you have 5 posts. Within the next 1 or 2 posts, it should be finished
I know that this is an old thread but I really want to post thanks to certain individuals or post in discussion forums but due to this restriction it means I'm having to spend a lot longer on the XDA site just to post what I wanted to. For instance even this post took me an extra 4 minutes...
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 !....

this!! i've been trying to download some files for a while and cant seem to find any threads to post in
Anyone have this case yet the otter box can't post the link cause i'm a newb still:S
Between this and case mate tough which is better?
Is there any crippling reason you are unable to post in the existing otterbox thread and need to open a new thread?
My apologizes I don't see why you have to get upset not like you are a mod...
When I did a search I included a space and got the no search results message. Also when posting it didn't show any similar topics again most likely because I put a space just don't get mad over this it isn't worth the ulcer

Yes I realised that after I found the thread you were referring me to. I did not check if it was on the first page cause I always use the search button my apologizes.
Can a mod lock/delete this thread?Thanks!
This is really annoying... i want to post some work for ICS for speedy aka htc evo shift yet i am unable to because of my post count i could just post randomly but then there is a timer cut off...
why make it so diffcult
There are some good reasons.

I know you'll have already read the sticky thread about the 10 posts, and why it was introduced. I can only assume you missed this bit...

While similarly *left outside* the dialogs I'd join, I get your message, and that to pass on to the mod(s)... respectfully, of course: so, pose post of worth, as so many read here are to my ploy, er, toil (better), play. Strop and trim, bit by bit...
...and yes, I'm in the middle of a score with that "subtle knife" (Pullman) of "just which bits to cut"... [meanwhile] Yes! Not a brick, yet a conduit! Hooray! And with thanks from those who have and may post, of worth, to have helped me thus.
OK, so I'm a wordy nerdy hacker... Defining the scope of *what's in, what's out" is well within a devel community: that is, this site is useful by such definition.
Thanks!

Lol that made me ROFL, anyways its not a big deal i respect this site and there rules... and as a matter of fact the limit kept me from posting a rom that had more issues then was worth at the momment giving me the much needed time to refine everything so hopefully when my lazyness gets around to it ill reach then ten posts and post somethings of much superior quality!!!
Hi,
I just wanted to reedit a comment because a tag was missing and it said that I have to wait 2 minutes before I am allowed to do another posting.
Well, I didn't want to do another posting, I just wanted to edit an already posted comment.
Maybe this could be fixed easily...
Thanks
Rebista
Came here to try to find just the same answer. It's just editing, 2 minutes is too long to wait for something like that!
But I understand what the reasons may be. What amount of post will take this away?
thanks in advance
I would have expected you to be beyond that point now with more than 10 posts, but perhaps there are new restrictions on junior members, which should end at 30 posts when you become members.

Nope. Already tried, is instantly done.
Okay, so free edits come with 30 posts ...
As it just happens this very post now is my 30th post
What an unusual solution. Post in this forum and through the very act of posting everything is taken care of
lol
Just came in here to comment about the very same thing. I can understand limiting the amount of posts new users can make within a given period (helps prevent spam)....but editing a post should be excluded from this limit.

I think it's allright and something you can live with, for 30 posts. They say in their FAQ that limiting posts is the only way to control spammers (well, one of their ways) and chaos.
30 is NOT that much, when I came to this thread I tought I was to find some limit of 100 posts and THAT would be annoying.
If you plan to stay in the community, 30 posts are ok and 2 minutes are bearable. Just MY opinion
woah 30post until edit???
now isnt that like tooo much??

No, there is a 2 minute time limit between post and edit until you reach 30 posts. You can edit before 30 posts, you just have to wait a bit.
Think about what you write before clicking Submit. Use the advanced edit mode and the Preview button. Make sure you have furnished enough information in your post to help people answer your questions.

I don't have any complaining about it ( I'm new junior member) cause its much nicely read and post to the good forum ( some boobs don't read and follow xda's rules)

I have no idea why this faq http://forum.xda-developers.com/faq.php is not linked anywhere for people to go clicky.
Conspiracy theories:
It's almost like they don't want users to find the faq.
They assumed users won't read it anyway.
They are lazy.
