Hmm. Is it normal for a PM to a s-mod about this to be ignored? I didn't send much, and am so debating as to whether to send another to someone else....

Also, I am unsure whether I would get it, and with me being the type of person that gets easily nervous, I would be very worried when applying.....
[About XDA developers] CamoGeko:
Harsh mate, keep doing what you're doing and you will be surely accepted soon! ;)
[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
I am sure it's just a missed PM, i would imagine they get alot and missing one by accident is possible, you could send a PM to the S-Mod again just explaining that you pm on said date and you did not get a reply, saying that you think your pm might have been missed.
[About XDA developers] sh4d0w86:
oh, i know it got missed. i had sent a read receipt with the PM. will give it a try, though.
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
i shall be trying my best fella. congrats again anyway;)
[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
Have you concidered applying for the themer title as well geko95gek, you have done theme work and you can have both titles.
[About XDA developers] CamoGeko:
Cheers dude! Hope you're all good :D

Yeah I have thought about it, really don't think I've done enough to deserve the Recognized Themer title. Only done about 2 themes, and even those were joined efforts.
[About XDA developers] Thing O Doom:
Think I should apply now? Or hold off till my one-click root app is out of RC and On-Android. I'm pretty active in the Transformer section (Tf101)

Thanks if anyone takes a look at me :]
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
ehmm. One great joint effort if i must say;):D and yeah all good here..just been without my one x coming up to 3 weeks now and waiting for them to fix it. been arguing with them about this and Monday they will call me if they will exchange it for the s3 or not....anyways well done again on the RC status...RT make him wait a bit longer guys:D
[About XDA developers] CamoGeko:
Aww, what happened to it mate?

Too late btw, just sent a PM to an s-mod asking about RT application. :)
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
well hope you get it mate. what perks do you get being an RC anyway apart from the obvious.

phone just send it in for one manufacturer defect and ended them finding a whole lot more issues. so they ordering parts and building it from scratch again.not happy at all
[About XDA developers] liamwli:
Well I didn't get RC, but I got some tips, so gonna work on it :)
[About XDA developers] af974:
Just a tip for ya, if you feel that your Pm is ignored by the Senior Moderator ( well i doubt, some of them are really busy) you can try to sent the Pm to any Forum Specific Moderator so he could forward your request to a specific thread where is checked by all the other Senior Moderators.

The SMs and PG101 asked s.d.oconnor to take them out. If you are going to apply, your signature shows you are doing some great work. Give it a shot. If you don't get in for some reason, they well generally tell you why.
[About XDA developers] PG101:
Yup.. there should be no requirement as such to see whether u think u r a contributor or not.. ideally every member should be a good contributor ;)

Send me a pm formally requesting to assess your profile if u feel u should be fit for it :)

Well test was that he gets banned from XDA for a week! And if he can hold it...he shall pass!

Should I apply for RC?? :D

[About XDA developers] mark manning:
You should go ahead and apply. PG101 is very fair and nice. If he feels there is something you need to a accomplish before you can be excepted he will let you know. Worst case scenario he says no for the moment and you keep build your reputation here on xda until you can reapply or best case you get accepted.

thanks for the reply

going to apply right now :)

[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Recognized Contributors,

Since this is the only place where i can find all of u folks together, I'll say it here.

I think I owe u all an apology.

When the RC title was first introduced I felt it was unnecessary and said so in the users-to-mods thread many months back with the grumpy cajunflavouredbob :p also voicing the same opinion.

With this in my mind, I may not have given RCs the credit u guys deserve.

As ctm then put it "...would we rather have twenty guides on performing a simple task or twenty questions asking how to perform a simple task?.."

Today I see u guys doing an excellent job and I take my hats off to you, the mods and everyone else.

Keep up the good work.

Ciao! ;)

--edit--

Woah! mf2112 a mod now!

Congrats!!
[About XDA developers] lokeshsaini94:
Hey guys when i was a noob i posted a Warez and got an infraction... But i now want to learn many things... I made few roms and helped peoples a lot.... So now i too want to be a rc but can't due to infraction which will expire after many months... Is there any way i can get rid of that infraction for good behavi and helping others a real lot.... Can a moderator remove someone's infraction before it expires... I am really desperate to get a Tittle of rc... :)
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
To be honest mate, I reckon you'll have to prove your good behaviour across the site not just until the infractions expired, but time after that aswell.

Mods will want to know that the people they choose to be RC are the best choices for the site, as a whole. Having an infraction isn't really a good example of that.

Not trying to speak on behalf of the mods, just my thoughts about it :)

"Knowledge is power" = Read, Read, Read!
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Lol forget the infraction..u need to be at least 6 months old on xda i think.

Title does not matter (does it? :confused:)...just do ur thing.

But they do have their own private forum and chat which is cool.

--edit--

Holy sh*t i'm slow again and KC beat me to it! Again!! :mad:

Oh I have your make me old photo.

I'll will play with it when i've nothing else to do :p
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
A.cid didn't apply for you, a.cid nominated you... :)

Your application is decided by your own past behaviour, your present conditions and your future expectations ;)

Hope you get what I mean to say...

And tbh with all, Rc isn't all about the title...if you're applying for the sake of title, you shouldn't apply at all...

My opinion, I'd rather have a junior member whom I could respect than have a Rc whom I couldn't...

- Via xda premium
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
That's what I meant :cool: Thinking about it, it's a totally different meaning in what I put, rather than what I meant to put :silly:

I totally agree with the last bit you wrote about the reason for applying. Respect, personality and approachability count for more than a title does.

Not trying to take any value away from titles in this site, but I agree that those things count for more when interacting with people.

Hello,

How many posts/thanks should you have to ask to become a recogniced contributor? Or is that not important?

Thanks in advance :)

[About XDA developers] mark manning:
It's not so much about posts or thanks but more about what you do to contribute. You can have 400 posts and 500 thanks in a high traffic forum but could do the same amount of contributions in a lower traffic forum and only have 200 posts and a 150 thanks.

Do I seem like a good candidate for an RC? I've applied a long time ago, but I didn't have much. Now, I've contributed a little more, and I pm'ed one guy a few days ago. No answer. I know I don't have very many thanks or posts like others I've seen around here, but most of my posts (like 85%) are helpful. I've did a how to, and a pretty nice/big q&a for a rom thread too...

I will take it as an additional motivation to achieve the RC status :fingers-crossed:

And it is good for all RC that it is not too easy to become a Recognized Contributor ... should be something to work hard for and to be proud of.
[About XDA developers] undercover:
Making it tougher makes it a bit unfair on new applicants or recommendees (does such a word exist?:D nominees is a better one I guess) compared to people who "got in" before the change. However, I agree that rules have to be strict. RCs must come in with a certain class.

So what's the happy medium here?
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
I'm pretty sure that PG101 won't discuss this in public here (and not even in the RC area, this is something the staff decides).

If he wants to announce something publicly here he will do it :)

I think the 6 month rule is okay, you should be around for a while before you can get "Recognized".

The other requirements are all pretty "low" - it's the quality (and quantity) of the contributions that count, not the amount of posts or thanks votes.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I think if there were actual rules, like were designated before, it would be better than being suggestive.

What do you lot think?

Just spitballing here :cool:

I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
Then we'd have people who would be applying for title's sake, and getting through as technically they are eligible and qualified...

It is better subjective, imo...

- Via xda premium
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Then maybe a mix.

The specific rules applied, but then the amount of contributing outside of the requirements be subjective.

That way, if people had only made a set number of guides, just to make the requirement, but not contributed in any other way, then they wouldn't be entitled.

Obviously this idea still has some flaws but no system can be perfect. I'll try to think of a few different suggestions when I get an idea.

I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
[About XDA developers] undercover:
That's what it is at the moment.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
But the number of guides isn't a must at the moment.

Someone could have less guides and be accepted, or someone could have more and not be.

So it's not like that at the moment.

I'm not buffering. I'm just standing still!
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
As tinky said, that's how it is at the moment...

The specific rule is 6 months, the rest is subjective...

We've had members with no guides/threads also being selected...while members who had plenty of threads rejected due to other various issues...

There are certainly some points here and there that the senior mods must be using as their stepping stones in deciding who's in and who isn't...but it is better left private, and not in the open...

After all, as someone on the internet once said, "If you know the system, you can cheat it better"...

- Via xda premium
[About XDA developers] It_ler:
Or the system has to be so good that cheating is either impossible :crying: or "cheating" itself is also a criteria for becoming a Recognized Contributor/Themer :D

Than the system could be transparent and open to everyone :victory:

Months ago I applied to Chainfire to be a RC and I never got a reply and I forgot about it too.Then yesterday I got a pm Pandemic from telling me that he recommended me to Willverduzc.Thanks to Pandemic recommending me to Willverduzco I am now a RT.Btw I was wondering what are the advances being a RT ? anyway I was online in xda from January 2012 to today after I got my first droid device and I must say I simply love the community.Great forums :good: and I like to thank everyone who made this awesome forum =)
[About XDA developers] PG101:
Head to the RT forum and you'll know..

@rest.. last I checked this thread was to guide members in achieving RC and RT titles, not to divulge any other information or otherwise shared with RCs and RTs.. sharing of PMs specifically meant for RC with others is a breach of trust and vice versa..

There is a private forum, make use of that. Thanks
