[About XDA developers] hell_lock:
I meant something else by saying that. Would these qualities be enough for convincing a SM or do I need to work harder? I dont wanna give a bad impression on a SM in my first PM :P
[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
I highly doubt that you'd make any sort of 'bad impression', and my advice would be to just go for it. If you feel you deserve it, then why not try? I personally feel that I don't deserve it, cos I probably have too aggressive an attitude towards stupidity (for lack of a better explanation) and I haven't really contributed a guide/useful thread. If you're genuinely planning to release a ROM and haven't already, I'd probably release the ROM first and get some feedback from that before applying. It would definitely make a better impression to apply with a ROM under your belt than without. Overall though, it really depends on what you feel and if you think you're good enough to get a RC title.
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
In other words you are asking if I feel that you are good enough to be RC :sly:. I covered that in my post.
[About XDA developers] hell_lock:
Thanks dude! It was like a moral boost for me :D Yes I am going to release my rom and kernel soon after giving finishing touch's. I'll be applying for it after I release it. Again, THANKS ..
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
1. Oops, accidental thanks :o

2. Make sure your rom is original (built from source). If it is a soft mod, make sure you have gotten permission from the original rom dev.

3. Good luck for your RC application.

9 months of helpful activity as it gives the RC/RT Committee a better understanding of your contributions, rather than simply helping for a small period of time in order to gain the title :)

Just curious to know is there a thanks meter requirement for recognized contributor?
[About XDA developers] Vangelis13:
What is a thanks meter..?
[About XDA developers] acervenky:
I Think No,Because It Depends On How Helpful You Are :good:

Regards,

acervenky,

[About XDA developers] Deadly:
No, all thats needed is in the OP, send PM to RC committee with links to your contributions and they will get back to you. Thanks meter is just to avoid thanks posts in threads. No more meaning to it, atleast imo. Follow OP and you will be fine. :)
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
No, because neither the post count nor the thanks meter is a valid measurement for ones contributions.

It might be an indicatior, but nothing else.
[About XDA developers] Ace42:
Well then my chances would likely drop since I don't actually do mods or ports anymore. :crying:
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I've done no mods or ports so it doesn't matter. It's about contributions and all information you need is in the OP anyway.

[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
I got in pretty much purely on being helpful as well as a couple of useful threads. The requirements for RCs are very different to those for RDs so you don't really require any development knowledge at all. Of course some dev knowledge can help you but it's definitely not necessary.

[About XDA developers] Red Devil:
Since you are so eager to know how to apply and why you haven't been given a reason why you have not passed the test just read the following document :

XDA Moderator Application

Minimum requirements :

Last 2 points will be checked out by the Moderator Committee.

Once you think you have satisfied these requirements , then you can apply for the moderator position.

One more thing, if you are to become a moderator, you must post in the right sections. This thread is meant for How to apply to become a Recognized Contributor/Themer on XDA.

So , I think you should take care to take note of the threads , in order to increase your chances. ;)

Hope that answers your query. :)

Hi All,

I would just like to say that it is well worth the wait and effort if you REALLY are considering for the title of RC/RT.

I have been accepted today for the RC program and it feels great. Patience and hardwork certainly pay off if you are serious about it;)

You are welcome to send it to any of the committee members as mentioned in the OP, if you don't hear back in a couple of days.

[About XDA developers] NadMaj:
there's nothing to be confused about.. if you feel that you are qualified for the RC title., you are welcome to apply..

and you are advised to wait for at least a week as the committee members are very busy people.. 2-3 days of no response doesn't mean that you are denied of your application.. just wait for a reply..
[About XDA developers] friedrich420:
Also I wanted to add that even if your application is denied, you will still get a response from the RC Committee member you sent it to ;)
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
Members as outlined in the OP, if you feel you have the requirements and you are up to the challenge of being a continuous provider to XDA. By all means step up and send your applications to any one of the Committee Members and or, you can send your requests to an RC/RT that you know, they can present it to the Committee also.

[About XDA developers] :
Can we apply later after some time if it is rejected? Just asking
[About XDA developers] CarlM34:
Hi there,

You will be given the opportunity to re-apply if rejected.....This will be conveyed to you via the Committee member you apply to and the length of time to wait before re-applying along with any helpful words of advice to help you achieve your RC/RT status!

:)
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
NO! ;)

Kidding yes you can reapply as stated above by the RC CarlM34, if you found needing more time or items to address....Whatever Committee Member that is handling your case/request will outline required time needed and or a specific date to reapply. And if by some chance you are not given a time-frame, please ask... Good To Go!?!

Sir, the OP of this thread has all the outlined/information needed/required. And yes this means all the necessary requirements are in the OP; this is the starting point and or basic requirements.

[About XDA developers] olokos:
Hi guys.

I'm wondering if there's any chance of me joining the recognized contributors group. Pretty much all I did is helping people in random threads, in which I didn't even got thanked sometimes + I've done stuff in my description - I'm still learning so there's nothing like "CM11 for X8" that I did. There's "7-10 links to apply" and that scares me away from applying. I'm not applying yet, because I'm not sure if I SHOULD apply. I don't want to be big-headed or anything. I think that it would be really nice if I had this title, but I'm not sure do I even qualify for that.

Please let me know if I have any chance and reply with quote so I'd see that I got replied.

PS. I've tried to ask here: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=xda-rc but nobody was there.
[About XDA developers] Clark Joseph Kent:
Sir, here is your quote/reply....

All the Information is in the OP of this thread. I can tell you right off, if you are not confident in your work and or self nomination, well TBH I wont be either ;) . Again I understand, you don't have to beat your chest and submit something in that manner. But if you feel you need more time to establish yourself, well take all the time you need, the Committee isn't going any where. Again if you are not sure you SHOULD apply then dont...My motto, either "Lead, Follow or get out of the WAY" ;)

Yeah, you're right, but what I wanted to get is compared to no ETA's - pre-assesment. I know that I sound terribly dumb now and I shouldn't be asking for that but I'd really would like to get any feedback, like "you do not qualify yet - you need to do more (what do I need)" etc.

If you don't feel like answering me - just say it. I'll take it. Just tell me why.

Thanks for bearing with me now.

This the reasoning for the Nomination, a full assessment will be done.....a feed back will be provided for you and if found qual'd you will be Statused. If found needing more, that will be also told with a time frame to reapply. And then again when that times comes to reapply, it will be a full assessment. There is no - pre-assessment, it will be a full assessment. But if you feel you do not meet the Qual's outlined in the OP, then no worries, dont apply. If you are looking for someone from the Committee to say "hey you look good, apply" that sir is not happening. Follow the outline information in the OP and apply.....

Not sure what you mean by this....

but rest assure, any Member of the Committee will be and is always professional and will extend that professional courtesy to you on a reply, outlining what I just mentioned above. Good To Go?!?

I liked the unedited version myself, that being said; gentlemen, if you wish to become an RC the qualifications are listed in the OP. This has been stated many, many times throughout this thread "This is not a guide to make you an RC, it is a guide on how to apply to become one"

Asking if you qualify here shows that you did not read the OP, which in turn, shows that perhaps you're not ready to apply...

[About XDA developers] tonyp:
And as a general hint from my experience: If you feel the need to ask if you're ready to hold the title you probably are not.

But you're most likely on a very good way, so just continue your support at xda in a helpful manner and the moment will come when you're ready to hold the title.

The pre-requisites are clearly listed in the OP - no one expects you to be a rocket-scientist, but you must have some valueable contributions and move within the rules.
[About XDA developers] exocetdj:
I have done just that, i really hope i get it this time. just want to give xda the best I can offer :)

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Being an RC is not a duty imho. It is being rewarded for being kind and giving...... What we should all be naturally, though sadly not the case. Everyone should be considerate, helpful and courteous. But not everyone is. Personally I don't want people doing things just to become an RC. I want naturally helpful people who assist others, provide guides etc being rewarded for what they are. People see RC/RT/RD/FSM/SM etc as tags. They aren't imho, they are rewards. If you are a good developer you become an RD. A good themer, an RT. if you are naturally good and sorting out issues, solving disputes, knowledgeable and polite etc, then becoming a mod is a realistic reward. None of these are duties, they are rewards and those who receive them should be honoured.
