I will post back once we are accepting applications again.

I would like to achieve both but would rather not lose dev status.

Thanks
[About XDA developers] undercover:
Try to apply as per OP. Reply will tell you wherever it is possible ;)

Out of interest, why would you want an RC title? RD is sort of step above than RC anyway.
[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
It has been my goal and dream to become a moderator on XDA.

According to Mike Channon in this announcement, "Those holding the Recognized Contributor title will be the main source of future Moderators."

I am just trying to do everything that I can, so when it comes time, hopefully I can make selection.
[About XDA developers] antp121:
Yup occasionally we get the opportunity to apply.
[About XDA developers] mark manning:
A RC is someone who has a completely different skill set/forum presence compared to someone who is seen as a RD. If a member has achieved the qualifications for both a dual title can be awarded .

It was possible for an RD to apply for RC.

As per quote from PG101 in the first post, the RC applications are closed ATM.

If the rules are not changed, it will still be possible for an RD to apply for RC.

But we all have to wait for the RC applications to be re-opened again.

Good luck for your RC application !

Hiya :)

The RC applications are now open again. You may have an RC to nominate you or you can directly write to me or pstevep or another Senior Moderator/ Forum Moderator

The general criteria is that a member should have been helpful, courteous and active commensurate to the forum one is mostly in. You will need to be an active member of XDA for 9 months or more.

While applying, please include 7-10 links/threads/posts that you think will help us decide on your application, effectively.

Cheers and good luck :)

[About XDA developers] anasdcool71:

Yes it's a bit more difficult now but by improving the system, the title of RC will have more meaning which in turn will improve the experience of members in general.

Op updated (nothing new, you already knew what was coming)

A few tips from my side for anybody who'll be applying,

* Make your application descriptive.

* Avoid stuff like "See all threads started by me". Rather link to them as that would be more helpful, and shows that you put in some effort and thought in writing your application

* Avoid going overboard with pleasantries. Keep it semi-formal, and not make it feel like buttering up someone.

Just some^ thoughts from the meagre PM's that I have received on this topic.

[About XDA developers] undercover:
Well, rules needed to be slightly adjusted. I know of someone in exactly the same situation as you, but hey, rules are rules. People who looked into the requirements didn't do it in a whim, they took a good look at it and considered a lot of things.

In the end of the day, title doesn't change anything, you are still a very helpful and valued member of the community, aren't you? :)

[About XDA developers] T-Macgnolia:
As geko95gek there is a provate forum called Recognized Contributor Private Chat. Seeing as it is only Rc's and the often visit from admins and other higher up XDA members. The forum is a very use fullplace to learn things you did not know, get help with something you are having trouble with and can not figure out on your own. It is also a good place to present ideas or air grievances to mods and admins. As well as a place to get to know some of the other RC's better and interact with members not from your device forums. We can delete threads we start and fully delete our posts also.

RC's also get 40 GB of free hosting space on Dev Host ;)

oh hush up. yeah this is a new low for me. one i do miss the s2 big style. two i love the one x but never buying another htc phone. and three due to all the issues i am having i asked for an s3. shall know more on monday.

i really feel that the s3 development will be huge. anyways getting back on topic what can i do to have a better chance in getting the RC..i mean for the short time i have been here i already helped a lot of people out..ok maybe i have not opened threads with guides and as such but as helping out overall well just above my avatar proves how well i have done in my short space..

any tips you guys please?

You should get a reply, even if you didn't get it, telling you why and how you can improve you chances. It's more likely that your PM was missed, just send another PM explaining that you applied and that you did not get a responce, just explain that you think your PM might have been missed. The S-Mods are busy peope and they have missed a couple of application before, just through getting a lot of PM at the same time.

[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
Relationships are not the problem. I have many friends and followers on XDA and always treat people fairly. I get compliments all the time even from complete strangers that I have never spoken too on XDA who say I am a kind and generous person. Of course I would humbly disagree if truth or not. I would not consider myself any better than the next person on XDA. I'm only here for the reasons others are. To learn and share back that knowledge. In the end that is what makes us and our devices better.

All I ever wanted to do was help XDA out if I can. If not, XDA will continue on just fine whether I make contributor, moderator or not.

Once again, thanks everyone for the help and kind words. I'll be back in three months to try again.

[About XDA developers] Goku80:
It is not about succeeding...It is about if you made a contribution or not to xda that would count..In other words how you go about yourself and differentiate(my god i am using big words:D) yourself from other users. Make yourself available for help, make a thread which will be useful for other users just make something that shows you are a true valuable member of the community.

To be honest in the start i got knocked back a few times...Long long reasons i rather not get into...And when i did not get accepted my attitude stunk...But i thought sod it i will try harder. That is when i created my threads the Launcher collection ones...But that is not the only part that i think helped towards me being accepted, but i think it is my overall contribution by helping other users around the forum that i use which is the One X and previously the S2.:)

As long as i know i helped a member out that is more than good enough for me..Knowing that i am an RC makes me feel proud to be one but even if i was not i still feel proud that i can make a difference in this community by helping out another fellow member who has problems with his handset.:) sorry for the long essay
[About XDA developers] IdeosDev:
So any advice to get involved on the RC part of XDA-developers

Would like to contribute more not just only build a rom but sharing more :)
[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
The biggest part is to be more active 'outside' of your own threads. Understand that even if you are doing great things on XDA like posting mods or roms or whatever, these are most graciously appreciated, but being an RC is about more than just posting work.

Post useful guides, jump into other threads and help users with questions (like I am here). Spend some time in the other threads in your device forums, as well as the main XDA forums. And while you are at it, befriend some fellow RC's and Moderators/ Super Moderators.

Hope this helps a little.
