That's not really surprising mate, considering that the RD program has been around much longer than RC.

[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
Its surprising when it gets to the stats, but you feel like there are more RCs here because of the amount of posting we do :D
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Speak for yourself :rolleyes:

Just to keep this on topic, it's great to see those of you who are interested in becoming a RC. Just remember that you need to have patience and understanding.

When the applications reopen, however, be sure to think carefully why you want the title. If the only answer you can really think of is because it's a cool title, then this privilege really isn't suited to you at the moment :)
[About XDA developers] Prawesome:
Sounds legit coming from you :rolleyes:
[About XDA developers] theDroidfanatic:
Thanks, that isn't a problem though :D I got a tiny infraction for an off topic post 6 months ago, and even though it was reversed by orb3000, I had to wait 6 months before I can apply, as per XDA rules I believe, and those 6 months are up on March 20th :D

Cheers

[About XDA developers] K.A.:
Is there a waiting period for applying after the infraction has expired or you can apply, like..within days itself?

Only if I hadn't spammed earlier :crying:
[About XDA developers] Aquethys:
I think it is that once you're clear of infractions and it's been the time frame that they require (3 months) , you csn reapply.
[About XDA developers] K.A.:
Didn't quite get you.

Suppose it expired today, so how soon can someone reapply?
[About XDA developers] PG101:
3 months after expiration..
[About XDA developers] Nephilim:
Question for you guys. I was wondering if when RC reopens in a few days if I would be qualified?

I have 2 links alone in my signature, one of which are specific settings I use and have decided to share, they have over 70 thanks attributed in the last few weeks. My other link is to a custom Themes & Avatars thread I made to do custom work for people here on XDA. Besides that I have been a helpful member in quite a few different threads among now 3 different sections of the forum since I signed up in 2010.
[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
I certainly don't see a reason why not. Assuming you don't have any outstanding recent infractions. Im mobile so haven't checked. When you do apply just be sure to show everything that you have done that is useful and helpful :)

Hi guys, sorry but i would like to ask if i am eligible too , as i don't really have an ash an astonishing thanks meter nor any guide as such but i answer the questions of new people politely wherever i see them in my subscribed threads and other places . Thanks :)
[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
You do not meet the nine month requirement.

You must have been a member for nine months or more.

Moderating from my SCH-I605
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
To be honest guys, even though it's good that you're interested in becoming a RC, I don't think we really need posts asking if others think you're eligible.

If you feel you meet the given requirements, wait until applications are re-opened so you can apply. Honestly, if you're not sure whether you should become one or not, you probably aren't ready just yet.

I asked if I was eligible and was given a similar answer to what I'm posting. It turned out that I wasn't ready at that point because I didn't quite meet all the requirements.

The best advice I could give is to be patient and self-critical. This way, you'll be able to see your faults and rectify them.
[About XDA developers] Krishnadusad:
Thanks for replying but my profile from tapatalk shows that i have been a member since 6 March 2013 and it's march 2013 . Is it the app's error ?
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
he is already a member of more than nine months so yes he is eligible to apply if he wants to..

@KC agree with you...best if they just wait and then just carry on what they doing and just be patient...
[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
Oh wow I got bamboozled by the tapatalk app lol. On mine it says 6march2013 but if I view it in the browser it shows the correct date. Sorry about that.

[About XDA developers] Krishnadusad:
True. Sorry... I was actually thinking if having a guide was a requirement thus, i posted . seems like i ain't ready . Thanks :)
[About XDA developers] PG101:
I am not liking all this speculation about "do I qualify..?" "what do I need.." and more so that the current RCs are feeding these with actual answers.

I urge all of you to refrain from asking this particular question, its almost becoming like asking for an ETA on a rom thread.. you know how that goes?

If you feel you are ready, apply.. that's all there is to it :) and if you donot get accepted, I am sure you will be given reasons. You may discuss here how you can improve your contributions to be accepted again.

Cheers!
[About XDA developers] wildstang83:
Good point PG101 :)
[About XDA developers] undercover:
What is classed as contributions nowadays?

Serious question.
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
best let someone else answer that one:p:D

EDIT: someone who goes out of there way to actually help you out with regards any issue you may have.
[About XDA developers] deathnotice01:
something to do with multiple support across the XDA community,

can't really give details since i'm not allowed to
[About XDA developers] undercover:
So if one is really helpful in one or two threads, maintains it and helps tons of people but doesn't venture out he doesn't qualify?
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
I would say that its more of a case-by-case basis.

On a low activity device, that would be qualifying to an extent.

Might not be sufficient for higher activity devices.

Plus it depends on how much support within threads, use of language, past infractions...and a lot of other things, I'm sure.

All in all, there's no "definition" of contribution. Nothing like "one size fits all".
[About XDA developers] Nephilim:
I apologize, I did not know it would be this large of an issue when I asked. I also did not know others were already asking constantly. I feel I have done quite a lot and deserve an RC title so I will apply tomorrow and see what happens. I love the site and will continue helping and doing work for others regardless of the decision. :)

[About XDA developers] Toledo_JAB:
I would read the OP first, as applications are currently closed. It will be updated when they open back up soon.

And as always NO ETA's

From Jaramie's LT28at
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Once the applications are reopened, I think you'd be more suited to apply for RT instead.

Also, would you mind either resizing your signature pic or using a show content button? Afterall, it's a fairly big sig :)
[About XDA developers] Nephilim:
Mods already asked for me to resize including efrant and I reduced it 50% I see multiple users on numerous threads with way larger signatures and nobody even comments to them. They said my current size is fine. I mean no disrespect but my custom work will be ruined if I deplete the size anymore.

[About XDA developers] undercover:
No one talked to them people or they haven't been reported yet.

Why not make a small banner and hide the rest under spoiler button?

IMHO, when sig box is bigger than post box default size, there is a problem.
[About XDA developers] tonyp:
This.

Seriously, it's just annoying. Yes, it might be a nice graphics art, but it gets in the way.

I had disabled signatures for a while, but they do often contain useful information of users which I missed and thus turned back on.

If there are others with even larger signatures this doesn't mean yours is okay - it means you should tell them and in case of non existent cooperation PM a mod.

As a general tip: use

and

to make use of the whole width rather than stretching the height.

No one forces you mate. People are just sharing their opinion. And sorry of I sound a bit harsh, but xda is not an ART forum. I'm into photography myself, I have been into modding cars with photoshop years ago, but I show it off in appropriate places, not on xda. I understand how much you value it though, just think you are showing it off in the wrong place.

Nah, little bit of chit chat never does any harm ;)

Congrats Btw :)
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
That is because mods don't have any solid guidelines regarding sigpic dimensions, what is fine with one mod might not be so with another. In Andy's[mod] eyes that pic might be big, cuz in his book anything higher than 400px is unacceptable. And in my book it's 250px max, but then i'm no one.

Not complaining, not reporting. Just thought you and others who were unaware should know.

And congrats to the new mods, i've seen only markmanning and wildstag till now. Congrats to both.

[About XDA developers] Nephilim:
I get what you mean. My particular work does fit here though, The bottom of my signature links to my thread where I do custom avatars and signatures for people. I have done quite a lot of them and my personal signature is an example of my artistic ability so that those requesting custom work see what I can do. I've actually had a few people ask me to design their businesses logos after seeing my signature and then browsing my thread. ;)

Also, I very much apologize if I came off rude to anyone with anything I have said. I try to be as polite as possible whenever I explain something. :)

Edit* For those of you that were asking, I have reduced my signature by another 25% :) :good:
[About XDA developers] undercover:
Willingness to listen (listen, not blindly obey) to other people's opinions and to take it on board is a massive positive sign for a potential RC, and a sign of a good personality. Kudos to you my friend. :thumbup::beer::beer:

[About XDA developers] DJBhardwaj:
Hello, recently I've applied for the position of a Recognized Contributor. My application was written accordingly and sent to our worthy and respected Senior Moderator _Alex_. But unfortunately, I haven't received any response yet, despite being 4-5 days of my submission (I'm not at all being impatient, but a lot curious).

My question is, is it quiet normal if there are delays in response? I'm also aware that Senior Moderators are busy persons since they have responsible loads on their shoulder but just wanted to ask for my own satisfaction, since this is my first application for such a post.

This is in no way my call, but generally I don't like the vouching approach.

Every now and then I get a PM (most of the times from people I don't even know) asking if I could vouch for or nominate them becoming a RD or RC.

I usually answer that they should apply and if they deserve it they'll get it, no help needed.

For people I actually do know I add that they can put my name into the application in case the decision making mod wants to ask me about my opinion.

Hey, I dont know if this is the right place to ask, but I couldn't think of place more appropriate. The story,

I applied for a RD title around 3 months ago. A month after applying, I got the usual, your application has been forwarded. 15 days after that I got the same message again. And havent gotten a reply since then. I ask because a fellow member also applied for the same title and got his confirmation reply in around a 4 weeks. Not to sound complaining, just a matter of curiosity.
