Received your PM mate. Looking into this now
[About XDA developers] Thats OK:
Recently recommended a nomination for RT to the appropriate party.

I received a PM asking that my nominee apply directly.

Is it no longer acceptable to nominate a user deemed acceptable who meets the requirements?

Not challenging just asking.
[About XDA developers] PG101:
Nominations are mostly within the RC/moderator groups, if a member is nominating another member, I'd prefer that the member then writes directly :)

Nothing else ;)

Thanks for the guide! Applied though I do not meet the 3 guides requirement. The X8 forums is saturated with guides already.
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Well I have send a message to Conantroutman. Not heard anything. Got two great threads now and I have to say those threads will only get better. I want that RC status and would do anything to get it. :D
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
Looking at your profile, you will most probably get it. But me. Only 2 threads to my name :screwy:
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Threads are not the only measure the mods use, but it is an important one as it measures more of a user's commitment level and ability to put together and spread information than posts do, however informative they might be as posts are more easily lost in the mix. 3 guides is not an absolute requirement.

Is there a thread like this one is your General or Q&A forums? If not, open one, work on it and keep it updated, and ask the forum mod to sticky it to the top of the forum.
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
Like the above post it is not all about the many threads. You can have ten threads and only one from them might be useful. Something similar to me. Few threads but only two worth keeping and updating which are the ones in my Sig. And through those threads and my continuous help on the forums I am hoping I get the status.
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
That is what I am basing my application on. Continuous and dedicated help to X8 members, policing of forums and the odd guide or two that really helps. Thanks for the pick-me-up, I was feeling down after seeing the amount of semi-helpful threads the others have. I have (I hope) two quality threads XD and enough quality work.

Good luck for your application!
[About XDA developers] Goku80:
You to mate. And do not worry. Like I said. I have few threads I wished I did not open although they are about informing apps to people on the market the two in my Sig are the ones worth having and you can see by the people's responses.in those threads and by the polls. Anyway good luck and hope you get it.

[About XDA developers] The-Hulk:
You need to give the S-mods a week and if you have not heard back by then, you just send a polite PM, explaining that you have not heard back.
[About XDA developers] Woody:
+1 on that.

Plus, don't forget that this is something new, so they may be taking things slowly at first to see if it is truly worthwhile. I know a guy who has a monster bible with probably 100 links included in it and he didn't get in, yet.
[About XDA developers] SpyderX:
Hey, don't be depressed. CTM mentioned that he would process my application yesterday but he hasn't, yet. Point is that the S-Mods are really busy and you need to be prepared to wait at least a week, or longer, before they process your application. Though to be honest, I feel apprehensive and nervous just waiting for my application to be processed. Best you can do is just wait it out and continue doing what you do on XDA as though nothing has happened. However, I really hope that I'll get the results by today cos tomorrow I'm going overseas :( :) :confused:.

Hai all :) sent an Application to pilot, should it appear in my sent messages? Strange, I'm looking now and it isn't there. Does it take a while or should I retry?

Thanks!
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
All mods should respond. Did you allow them a minimum of 24 hours to respond due to timezones etc? Also, ensure the mod has been online since you sent it.

Failing that, send it to me or PG101
[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
I'm going to be brutally honest here, judging by your posts and started threads (as well as the general tone of this quoted post) you're probably not going to be accepted. You don't have enough helpful posts to make it IMO, but you should definitely try again later after you've built up a better profile.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Hence my post. lol
[About XDA developers] DD-Ripper:
PG101 said he approved my RT form yesterday and also told it would take around 24 hours or so for title change to reflect on my profile..

But I'm still a "senior member" now ...?? :confused::confused: :(

I'm soooo excited for my title change to happen soon :p
[About XDA developers] doctor_droid:
hmmm explains the damn good reason why the mod didnt responded to him :D not the mod's fault... i would have done the same after seeing his profile...lol why would one apply at 62 thanks ( yes this meter is for a purpose and helps others to knw ur contribution to xda community..xda admins created this for a purpose ... this purpose...

self assessment is very necessary now..:p
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
I suck at self control.

Thanks count is not an eligibility criteria for RCs and neither is it an accurate way of assessing someone. Yes, they created it for a purpose that is all but lost now.
[About XDA developers] Zeuscluts:
Just a question can we apply any of the title till we have infraction points.
[About XDA developers] rwilco12:
Although your points are completely valid these are points that should probably be made by the moderator assessing his application via PM rather than by the applicants fellow members in a public forum. ;)
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
You will need to wait until 3 months AFTER your infraction has expired.

You'll also need to ensure that you've been a member for at least 9 months before you apply.

[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Guys/Gals, I don't see this as a thread to evaluate others or to give hints and tips for others to achieve RC status. If a person is suitable , let the mods review them. They can read the OP and know the criteria required. I'm concerned that this thread has become a training ground and the RC pool is becoming diluted.

If a user cannot read or know what the criteria is, then, imho, they don't have the criteria required

[About XDA developers] Nigeldg:
My bad, I was just trying to give some constructive criticism :p
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Was not named at anyone in particular. We want the best to become RC's as they are potentially the future mods. We do not want people coming here asking what to do, what do they need to do etc. If they have to ask, imho, they aren't suitable. Again, just my view. I want people coming here who already read, help others etc because that is who they are, not because somebody has told them that is what they need to do. This make sense?

[About XDA developers] Zeuscluts:
Confused

What if the person deserves both Rc & Rt.

Can he apply for both.

Title.

To be direct can anyone Apply for to titles. RC/RT.
[About XDA developers] mark manning:
If he deserves both then he will be awarded both.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Yeah they can. If someone has the relevant skills, they can have RT/RC/RD. A few users actually have the triple title.
[About XDA developers] undercover:
Iirc they stopped doing rc/rd as rd supercedes rc. Isn't that right? I know there are some, but they are from the first ish batch.

Sent from my fridge. Make: LG Model: N⁴
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Not that I've heard of. It doesn't really supersede RC because a lot of RC's are OPs of dev threads and if that was the case, they'd be changed to an RD really.

Besides, one recent-but-not-so-recent dual title member was wildstang who was an RD first and then was given RC title as he was fulfilling the requirements of an RC alongside his development work.
[About XDA developers] undercover:
Gotcha.

Sent from my fridge. Make: LG Model: N⁴
[About XDA developers] upndwn4par:
You can get RC/RD/RT in any order at any time. All are distinct titles with distinct requirements.
[About XDA developers] mark manning:
A RD does not supersede a RC or a RT. Each title requires a completely different set of skills which are independent of each other.
[About XDA developers] Zeuscluts:
In this post its explained hiw to apply for RD/RC/Rt.

What about moderator/S-Moderator/Forum Moderator etc.

And other titles.
[About XDA developers] erpurohit:
Other titles cannot be applied directly now.

I think (might be wrong) you need either recommendations from one of those or need to have one of these titles

Blue for RT

Orange for RD

Purple for FSM

Red for Admins

Maroon/Light Green for SM i think..

[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Congrats [MENTION=4748455]Deadly[/MENTION]!!:good: You deserve it!
[About XDA developers] PG101:
RC/RT/RD/ERD are all different verticals and independent of each other. RD cannot be perceived as a promotion from RC.

A member may accumulate all above titles if he/she fits the requirements. ERD is mostly on invitation.

Colors: Basically if you have one title, then the corresponding color, but if you accumulate another title, then I believe you can choose which of the two colors you want from your UCP.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I think I'm right in saying that once they've chose what colour they want, they can't change their mind again, right?

Also, with some RDs not having colour to their title, is that their choice or just admin error whilst assigning the titles?
[About XDA developers] rwilco12:
Not sure about the missing colors in the title but in your User Control Panel you can adjust what your User Group displays as. See attached image. :)
[About XDA developers] Zatta:
I can't change it back to green but I believe that is a mistake. I can change to Senior Member (Gray) and RD (Orange) though..
[About XDA developers] upndwn4par:
I don't have RC as a choice. I changed to RD and now I can't go back to green!

Think I need to visit the mod and admin thread.....
[About XDA developers] erpurohit:
I dont have that option in user control panel.
[About XDA developers] PG101:
Hmmm, I thought it could be changed in the UCP.. ofcourse you may not be able to change it again.. If you want your color to be green (for RD and RC) PM me and I will check with the admin If it is possible.

Yes there is. Nominations/applications will come back shortly. This threads is still a great source of information and will be the source people turn to once everything reopens up :)
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
I think you kind of missed his point. Closing the thread when applications are closed will prevent the "Are the applications open? When will they start accepting again?" posts.

Not really, if someone can't read the OP of the RC thread it says a lot about being an RC don't you think?

[About XDA developers] undercover:
I second that, and thank you.

Just popping in to say that I just found out what happened here and would like to apologise for inadvertently starting it. On my part it was a bad joke not referring to the RC program. As I said bad joke, nvm what, but I can see how it was misunderstood or rather how I delivered it badly. Apologies to anyone offended by it and lets move on. I shall stay away from this or any other RC related threads so this doesn't happen (inadvertently) again.

Thank you sir...hope you had an awesome honeymoon:)
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Not aimed at anyone in particular, but as RC's, I think you need to lead by example, similar to Moderators. One of my personal pet hates is users asking for Thanks in their signatures or those who have large images in their signatures. If normal users see this, they'll think it is the norm and follow suit. If a post merits somebody saying thank you, they'll click on the button. Requesting it defeats the purpose imho. As for large images in their signatures. There is no need for it. It's just annoying and takes up to much space. Personally I'd like RC's to not do either of these things and help XDA as a whole by encouraging others to follow suit.

JM2C

EDIT - Moved this discussion to here to keep thread on topic
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Couldn't agree more to be honest. Personally, I've never once asked for thanks, be it via my sig or by actually posting it. It's something which doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I'm not trying to defend anyone who has such a sig but, in a lot of cases, I think they put things like that so that new users will get into the habit of actually using the Thanks button rather than just saying it. Of course, with a lot of people it's clear that they're just trying to get more thanks.

The thing I find funniest, however, is that those of us who have been on XDA for long enough and/or have at least an ounce of common sense will be aware, asking for thanks actually decreases your chances of actually getting thanks. Afterall as you said, if a post is worthy of being thanked, it will be whether you ask for it or not.

I Read the OP very carefully but didn't find the part that you quoted so I had asked and I read the following quote in OP so I thought of asking.

I always read the thread's OP very carefully ;)
[About XDA developers] Zatta:
The difference between these two posts looks big but is very small. If you want help from RC's to improve your contributions (whatever they are), you can ask for help here. To give an example: what if you have seem the FAQ project and you feel like creating one for your device or your ROM this is always possible. If you need help with that, this is the place. Or you have been helping people unbricking/rooting whatever and you feel like you could use some assistance, you can ask for assistence here.

If you want help to become an RC you are at the wrong adress. We are not preprocessing applications.

I'll add the link to the fresh CoC to the OP of this thread.
