[About XDA developers] dreamwave:
We have the 10 post rule so we don't get sunglasses adverts like on xda facebook :p. No seriously we would get a lot of spam in the development section which is a sacred place for xda and the core of our existence. Also try not to make them dummy posts. If you know something about Android already try and help people in the other sections. Probably one of the reasons we have it is so we have more than just people aspiring to be recognized contributors or admins doing anything other than working in the development section or theming. We get a lot of questions and if we can have at least about 5 or 6 fully answered by new members that's a lot that the others of us don't have to. Aspiring Rc here and I can tell you we get a TON of questions in the q&a and general sections and making people make 10 useful posts makes it 2 or 3 times easier for all of us.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Is it possible to change the thanks limit to like 4 thanks PER PERSON instead of the 8 or so limit now? I understand we don't want people making another account or something and doing nothing other than thanking themselves but when I'm in themes or some troubleshooting thread I should be able to thank every contributor who genuinely helps me or someone else get their problem solved. I know it may take a bit extra when it comes to computing and storage and such but I think that we should be able to give people the thanks they deserve for good answers or posts.

Are you wanting a "4 Thanks click" limit per person or an unlimited amount of Thanks clicks? :confused:
[About XDA developers] dreamwave:
unlimited number but we can only thank the same person 4 times in a day

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------

like I can like 4 posts by "tom" in one day but I can like a 5th one by "steve" and if I have 6 people who have helped me more than 4 times in one day I can thank all of them those 4 times I just can't like a 5th post by "tom".
[About XDA developers] bendep:
hey guys, i really like it here, though theres one thing i would like to mention,

its a pain in the ass to get up 10posts for posting in an android developer forum. all i need todo is now, to search any threads i am able to spam a few lines, to get my other 6posts up to 10.

i joined this forum after rooting my moto g, and helping developers with reporting bugs.. now i am stuck due to a spamprotection, ending up spaming the forum ;)

anyway, i gonna get this done ;)

all the best, ben.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Spamming the forums is definitely not the way to get to 10 posts and will end up with post removal.

Check out the following thread to see the proper way to get your post count to the magic #10 - Want To Post In Development?
[About XDA developers] bendep:
that sounds a little bit wired for me and i wont make a comment on thos reasons.

there are people signing up on xda for helping reporting bugs in developer forum. for thos peeps its a little bit annoying counting posts until the get started there - just my few cents.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Those reasons obviously don't apply to everyone but are some of the reasons why members want to get access to development.

There are, of course, members who want to be able to post in development sections for legitimate reasons.

Posting bug reports isn't a good enough reason, in my opinion, to feel the need to spam the forums. You can either send a private message to the developer of the ROM/kernel and explain the bugs there OR create a thread in the Q&A section of your device and tag the developer in the post so they will see it. Do that by posting @ followed by the developers username.

As explained in the thread I linked to in my last post, there's always another around rather than simply spamming.
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
Not to mention that most roms are using outside sites for bug reporting. Mix in the fact that most new users don't know how to properly report issues with proper logcat files and dsm messages and you have the main reason for the 10 post rules.

[About XDA developers] Ticklefish:
I'd debate that. If I only have a few thanks on a thread of mine, I know that my next thread needs to be something that's more interesting and worthwhile to the community.

It saves me from clogging up the forums with useless spam nobody needs.

It may sound corny, but getting a 'thanks' means that you know you've made a positive contribution to at least one person here.

I did see one thread that was closed by the OP because he didn't get enough thanks, which is taking things a bit too far. But the thanks button is still very handy.

[About XDA developers] :
Hi guys,

This is just my opinion.

Word is slowly getting out that "best" thread are now being allowed on XDA. I agree this can be helpful to new members, and I also agree these threads can turn ugly quick.

With so many members not knowing of this change, there will always be flaming and reports made on them.

My suggestion : make a sticky thread in every device Q&A section on best roms/kernel. Like the N7 2012 section has had for a long time now. Then all this discussion can stay in those single threads. Otherwise there will be many duplicate thread created and more and more arguments. The thread being a sticky will let everyone know that is OK as well.

And members can report the duplicate threads quietly, without the arguing and flaming.

Just my thoughts on this. Thanks! ?

KJ
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I don't think we really need to be setting up a sticky for each forum for a couple of reasons. One of which being something you mentioned - word is getting out that we're now allowing these threads. Of course there are likely to be some reports by those who aren't aware of the change but we can then let them know, via the report, that the thread is ok to stay as we now allow them. Word will then get out there even more so.

Another reason for not combining them all into a single thread is being disorganized. If a thread is created to compare 2 different devices or ROMs, everyone who also wants to compare those 2 will be able to post their thoughts in that thread.

Having a single sticky thread will mean that conversation is all over the place and can easily get confusing.

In regards to these threads turning into arguing/flaming, this is of course a possibility but that was naturally thought of before going ahead with this change. If we notice these threads turning into arguing or if it gets brought to our attention, via the report system, we will then deal with that as we normally would.

Hopefully this has helped a bit :)
[About XDA developers] :
Thanks for your response. ?

I see your points. I just see it potentially cluttering up the sections a lot. Pushing more important threads down the list. Especially in heavy traffic sections. Many of these threads will get made.... And many "try them yourself and see comments" from the senior members, discouraging the new members. And I think a greater wedge will be formed between many senior members and new comers.

Also, if we go back in time, I'm sure the dedicated N7 thread was eventually created for all of the reasons I've mentioned.

But... I go with what the higher powers say here.... So I will go along with xda's say on the matter.

Thanks for listening. ?

KJ

P. S. For me, and many other knowledgeable members, avoiding these threads will probably end up being the case. You know the saying .... If you have nothing good to say... Don't say anything. ?
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Well, due to this being a new change, none of us know how exactly this will all pan out at the moment. We're hoping that there won't be as much hassle as others are expecting and that it will all be easily manageable.

I don't think pushing more important threads down the list will really be an issue because the important threads generally have a lot of activity and stay close to the top even in the most popular forums.

When the Galaxy S2 was in its hay day there were always 5/6 threads which were always near the top of the forum due to how much traffic they produced. I believe the same applies here.

Yes the N7 thread was created to cut down on arguments and to centralize all such threads but that isn't a true gauge of how this system will work out. After all, that thread wasn't created until over a year after the N7 was a released and the forum was therefore starting to die down slightly.

I'm sure that the admins wouldn't have even thought about this if they thought it would be too detrimental so I think it will all turn out fine :)

Thanks for your opinions on this matter though, as I'm sure a lot of other members will also be unsure and thinking the same as you :)
[About XDA developers] the_scotsman:
The best threads will always keep themselves at the top, less active/important ones will filter down. No need for stickies. Plus one sticky full of different comparisons would be very very messy.

This is only a trial at the moment, to see how it works out. We will still monitor them as we monitor all threads, and any flaming will be dealt with accordingly. But I think a lot of these threads are actually helpful and informative for a lot of people.

Let's see how it goes :)

[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
The problem with PMing moderators is that they may not all be online (if they are, they may be on mobile/may not have the time right now). By using the report button*, all assigned moderators will see your report and it'll therefore be actioned as soon as possible.

* The report button is only visible when you visit the thread using a normal browser ATM, not through the apps (TapaTalk/XDA).

PS. It's "thread", not "threat". "Threat" has a very different meaning. :)
