You were the first that came by, it was an excellent opportunity to state the purpose of this thread. I know it has evolved over time to where we are now. If you need assistance anywhere, I'm around and so are some other RC's.
[About XDA developers] EatHeat:
Hi.

I make small apps like a hobby and I have a number of on-going projects. So can I apply for RC because of this? Coz I dont think that it will be accepted as an RD. Or will it?

This is just for clarification. I dont want to apply now as I've been on Xda for merely 4 months..
[About XDA developers] kilometers4:
I would take a look at the Code of Conduct for recognized contributers. As far as I know you have to be helpful in a broad range of threads and forums as well as contribute to the site. So your projects will add to your chances of becoming recognized. Keep doing what you are, and help people and you'll be on the right path

(and I believe the minimum time on the site is 9 months to be considered just so you know)
[About XDA developers] Venomous Viper 119:
How would I know when the applications for RC are open ? I mean, I'm on XDA app on phone. I don't access XDA from PC. Will this thread be updated when the applications are open so that we're notified ?
[About XDA developers] kilometers4:
Yup, check the OP.
[About XDA developers] Zatta:
Yes, it will be announced here and in the OP.

[About XDA developers] Venomous Viper 119:
Either case, I'll have to wait 2 more months to get that " 9 months atleast " requirement. Anyways, why is it that the applications are open for a limited period ? Is it that many people apply & then it's like, too many applications unable to process...?!
[About XDA developers] Ace King 34:
There might be many reasons.

They can be:-

1.The applications may be closed because maybe the RC liaisons need to change some requirements like active months criteria.(previously the month criteria was 3 months,then increased to 6 months and now it is 9 months Active duration )

2.The applications maybe closed because of too many applications and maybe they need time to check the previous applications

3.Various other reasons.

cheers
[About XDA developers] Venomous Viper 119:
I see. Hope that the applications are available by the time I complete my 9 Active months :D
[About XDA developers] Anurag pandey:
Rc applications are open again. Zatta will update the op the next time he's online :)

All the best to all who'll apply
[About XDA developers] Zatta:
How do you know what I am going to do when I am online??

Anyway, listen carefully...

RC & RT applications are open again!​

Oh God... I ain't through the 9 months limit yet ! Wanted to apply ! Donno if the applications remain opened after 2 months ! Disheartened, desperate & broken...
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
It will always be reopened if its closed.. that's how it has been..

just have patience and do what you always do.. ;)

Because you would need lot of patience when you become one. :)
[About XDA developers] Venomous Viper 119:
Well, patience is what I've always held. Actually speaking, It was just recently that I got to know that a guy helping people around on XDA can get the RC tag, while I've been doing it all along ! ( Let the mods see it ;) ) Will wait...;)

[About XDA developers] Goku80:
knowing the guys it would not take that long...patience is a big must when becoming RC and the main thing is to help out everywhere..that means outside from the comfort zone of your current smartphone forum and be more active all over xda if you can
[About XDA developers] Zatta:
Hello,

The good reader will see some differences in the OP. As the portal article on the Code of Conduct for RC's already announced, a RC-RT Committee is being formed. Soon a new portal article will be published with all the details. Meanwhile the chairman asked me to announce the account they have made for this. So..

from now on complaints and grievances can be directed at

The RC-RT Committee​

.
[About XDA developers] PG101:
Correction.. avoid sending applications to the committee account.. just appeals and grievances. Applications can be sent as previously or via PM to one of the committee members

[About XDA developers] itasoulas:
kinda confused but which application form I need to send to apply for recognized themer title? Is it the same as the "recognized developer" form?
[About XDA developers] erpurohit:
Check out the op...there is how to apply.
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
There are no "forms".. Read the OP and you will understand.. You just have to include links to your work and such

And good to see you here man.. Long time no see :)
[About XDA developers] itasoulas:
nice to meet you again man :)
[About XDA developers] aukhan:
Pre-requisites

Active member of XDA, for atleast 9 months.

Cant this be change :( ?
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
I bet it won't be changed...
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
Sure, shouldn't be a problem.

How about 12 month? :D

It went up from 3 to 6 to 9 month, so 12 is the next logical step.

But seriously, what do you expect? That the rules that are the result of lots of discussion and experience will change because some guys don't want to wait long enough?
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Just to add to Goku's comments.........

It is not moderators, or anyone else's job to advise people on how to become RC's. We have already provided the info in the OP of this very thread. If you cannot read that, understand that, and do what is requested, then quite frankly, you are not RC material
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
No need to apologize, my post was not aimed at you directly.....I was merely adding to your comments ;)

As I said before, I don't see the role of RC's/mods etc to help potential RC's. Yes, we can guide them to this thread, but that is it imho. They read the OP and then do whatever is necessary. We are not here, imo, to guide or walk people through the process. If we did, I think the process and RC title would be pointless. RC's are supposed to be naturally helpful people who provide guides and assist people. They should NOT be people who create guides to become RC's. If this was the case I would vote to remove the RC title completely as imho it would be pointless
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
exactly....it is not all about guides and tutorials it is how someone conducts themselves throughout there time on XDA. lesson to all future RC's and to those who want to be one....if you are a good RC you can move up and become a mod...i remember PG said once. RC's are kinda the future mods for our XDA. Depending on how someone conducts themselves they can go higher..But you guys need to go from your forum that you have a smartphone off and go throughout XDA to help out..

A lot think that XDA is a small place since they only go into one forum..Far from it...XDA is a big community and the RC's can help out the mods in keeping everything ticking properly here
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Plus to add to that as well is this. Never ever take the mick out of a senior mod. Joke or no joke unless they have banter with you, it is not how an RC should do. Another thing as well be humble and modest. Never think just cause you are an RC makes you better than others. And one last thing never troll even if it is for laughs.

I always wanted to be a mod here. But due to my stupidity am always on a fine line here. So learn from my mistakes and be better.
[About XDA developers] thewadegeek:
Sorta unrelated question, but I saw it come up here at one point so I figured I'd ask. Where does one go to report an RC who is asking for thanks? Using the report function doesn't seem quite right since there is nothing really wrong with the post, just the attitude.
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
You can write a PM to any of the RC/RT committee

Members of the RC-RT Committee:

PG101, D.O.C, Judge Joseph Dredd, Woody and Zelendel.

Or this from the OP

That ^ account can be used to report as well. as all above committee members will read that PM. :)

anyone please correct me if i'm wrong.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
You are correct :good:
[About XDA developers] PG101:
I really don't think that mods should have to come here every now and then and remind members of what is the purpose of this thread and how clearly and explicitly it is outlined in the Op.

FS and Goku have very nicely summed it up and I am only tempted to post this post to re-iterate that this is a thread to see how you could become an RC or RT NOT to check whether you qualify or not! Very thin line there, but as future RCs you should be able to see that thin line and if you are not able to... well... :cowboy:

came across an exception to 9 month rule for RC...

Exceptions everywhere ;)
[About XDA developers] iamareebjamal:
I guess exceptions can be made for phenomenal nowhere to be seen contributions :)
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
Hmmm... I thought rules were same for everyone.. :)
[About XDA developers] RC-RT Committee:
Hi,

There are not many cases where this has happened and the committee can pin point on these members. All members are assessed thoroughly and fairly; and ofcourse, we do recognize deserving ones, and occasionally make exceptions. This is not to be mis-construed as overlooking or bypassing or bending the rules for some members :)

Cheers!
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
Okay :)

I did my homework before posting ..

The member i m talking about had atleast 10 of his threads being closed by mods..may be more...

Had made stock based roms which also fails to boot..

He has 2 good threads i guess which were sufficient enough to qualify him as exceptionally well..?

Plz dun consider this as flaming the thread.. M just keen to know .. :)
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
There's a lot, A Lot, more which happens in the background.

What normal users see are limited perspectives. A whole bunch of things are taken into consideration while taking any sort of decision. I say this from personal experience :)
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
What i saw was user's own posts n threads..i guess which is sufficient n fair enough to analyse someone..:) specially after having read 600+ posts..
[About XDA developers] Stryke_the_Orc:
The decisions made to make someone an RC, RT, RD, etc are made by a core group of unbiased members. Check out the committee. Any decision they make, they have reasons for.

That being said, if you're looking to apply, it's probably not wise to continue to stir the pot. Just a friendly heads up:beer:

And if you're not looking to apply, why are you here?

Cheers!
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
Yup u r right..

To clearify one thing.. that m not judging/questioning the judgement of RC committee (m no one to do that)

I just raised a question for which committee and forum members were kind enough to give a fair reply :)

Topic closed from my part :)

thanks

[MENTION=4550577]Goku80[/MENTION] - yup i knw bt there was no point in creating a new thread for a question which aint related to me..

And btw ...yes u r 1 month late :D

---------- Post added at 08:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Yup i did sent a pm to a respected RC committee member a week back bt i guess he missed it (too many pm i suppose )

No grievance and sarcasm :D sir..

Satisfied wid the answer :)

Thanks ..
[About XDA developers] 404-Not Found:
I want to apply but I am not sure if I can because have been helpful but a few 3 or 4 times I been rude or “trolled". I did write a guide but I don't it think was helpful do to lack of views. Currently I am a Senior Member. Can I still apply in my conditions?
[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
From the OP:

If you feel you've been consistently helpful and meet the requirements then go ahead and apply. After all, the worst case scenario is that you get rejected and will have to wait to apply again but that just gives you time to build up a better profile and increase your chances of getting accepted.

Also, to the mods out there just wondering why isn't this thread a sticky? I know there are already loads of stickies in this forum but to me that just means it couldn't hurt to have one more :p
[About XDA developers] PG101:
What he said. And rightly so, this thread is now stuck.. I always thought it already was.. :eek:

Any decent user should be able to find this thread even if it wasn't stuck, even more so for potential RC's.

You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!
[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
Well personally I think any thread which is important to the entire forum should automatically be made a sticky in the About XDA section. If guides about being a member 'qualify' (for want of a better word) then I don't see why I thread about applying to be a titled member shouldn't. Sure, most (by which I mean all) potential RCs would be able to find it anyway but being a sticky may attract more attention to the thread and therefore make more people who meet the requirements consider applying.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
True, and valid points. My concern is we are dumbing things down so dumb people can find things easier. This is XDA, mobile development site where we educated people come to learn, not the idiots guide to development or recognised contributors

I guess you are an exception too. O.o

I too am short of the term by just a few days. Pretty sure I will get rejected if I apply again cause of the rule. Not sure if others think i am really RC material but for me, I do. Any who that is what the superiors at xda decide. Can't complain really. Afterall its a favor that xda provides us with such a honorary title.

Apart from that , I have a small query, in my application , how can I add recommendations from RCs already existing in the forum or can I mention that ?

Thanks for the replies , sirs.

Sorry if I posted something wrong / offensive to anyone. Didnt intend to.

[About XDA developers] It_ler:
From the first post:

Please note only apply once to one committee members, do not send 3 applications to 3 different committee members. Also be patient, the committee members are very busy people and have other work on XDA and in personal life. I would recommend a waiting time of upto a week; and if you receive no response within a week, then a reminder PM.

Please do not bombard the committee with PM's.

If you are having a problem with your application or you would like to appeal a decision made on your application, then you can contact the RC-RT Committee through PM.​

[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
This is the wrong question to ask. You should put in an application when you feel that you deserve the role of RC and will function better as an a RC. You shouldn't put in an application based on whether others think you are RC material.
