You're precisely why the ten post rule was made. The last thing XDA wants is a avalanche of new users spilling into the development forums "just to comment". Explore for a while, and learn how things work around here first before going into the dev forums. :thumbup:

Members, back on the topic of actual "Requests to Moderators and Admins...."
[About XDA developers] Anonymou5:
Sorry, but no, I am not why the rule was made because I've been reading these forums for a long time and the rules are common sense/etiquette and I don't believe I will be breaking them or posting any garbage, but thanks for automatically assuming I must be that guy. I wasn't going to "just comment." I read the rules multiple times before creating an account. Some of us new users have degrees in engineering and aren't idiots, advertisers, or incapable of behaving and many of us have been reading the forum for quite some time and are already familiar with how things work.

In order to remain on topic, I request that maybe moderators consider the possibility of making it where new users' posts to the dev forums can be submitted for approval before reaching the 10 post limit.

*Edit: Now I know this idea has already been considered and there's an entire 42+ page thread devoted to alternatives to this rule, so nevermind.

[About XDA developers] LoopDoGG79:
They have over 1500 new accounts everyday. Do you think they are going to give the benefit of the doubt to all those new users? Since there is no viable way of knowing who is an experienced user or someone new or someone looking to spam, the ten post rule was put in place to curtail new users posting simple questions and general nonsense in development fora. So, yes, in order to protect the development forums, all new users must be assumed to be, "that guy". Ain't perfect, and yes some toes will be stepped on, but it's the best XDA has at the moment. Also, one of your experience can easily find less experienced users asking questions in a Q&A or General forum, help them out, and achieve the ten in know time.

To stay in topic, can there be a pop up window or page that all new users must read explaining the ten post rule and the reasons before they proceed into the forums for the first time?

What are you currently being recognized as? :what:
[About XDA developers] Junkie2100:
it would seem im currently being recognized as unverified and a possible spammer lol

when i try to post more than once every 5 minutes or even edit a post in that time it rejects it and says i have to be verified by a moderator, then apon trying to quote someone that used url tags it rejected it as well. i rarely use this site because it doesnt have a section for the zte warp sequent and that is the only phone i have to work on at the moment, but occasionally i do drop by and it makes things extremely tedious
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
Please read the OP of this thread.
[About XDA developers] Junkie2100:
i did, and it says nothing about my current issue, i have made the appropriate number of posts to post in the dev section and im not even trying to post in the dev section. this site told me that i had to be verified by a moderator because you guys want to avoid spammers every time i attempted to post more than once every 5 minutes, and when i tried to use url tags it told me to contact an admin if this is an error. i realize im not a frequent poster here but on android forums im a rom developer with hundreds of helpful posts, and unleashed prepaids im a moderator, you guys just dont have any real zte n861 following so i dont really have anywhere to post any of my work or anyone that needs help specific to that device

even now after 13 posts i couldnt edit this very post untill 5 minutes after i made it. it said all new accounts must be verified by a moderator, and as far as i can tell this is the proper place to ask a moderator to verify my account , if i am mistaken i do apologize, but could you please point me in the right direction then? because as i said the OP doesnt mention this specific problem at all and the site itself keeps telling me i need a moderator or an admin to get this worked out
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
Accounts are automatically verified every few hours, so be patient and try again later.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
All new accounts carry this restriction until they have made 10 posts. Once you've acquired 10 posts you'll need to wait until the system has updated before these restrictions will have gone. This probably explains why you had 13 posts or so. If these restrictions are still applied now, I will notify admin to remove them for you
[About XDA developers] Junkie2100:
ah, see that part was never mentioned anywhere. i just knew about the 10 post rule and what it kept telling me. thanks for explaining eagleeyetom and fallen spartan, and sorry for bein a pain

It's 10 post rule. All accounts are automatically verified every few hours.

2. none of our sections should be used to post useless content

[About XDA developers] LoopDoGG79:
Its part of the process. Firstly, make ten meaningful posts, then the system will eventually update, and I'll go away.
[About XDA developers] Fallen Spartan:
Ok, apologies for being rude in my previous post, but you have to understand, with 1500 new members per day and 4-5 (guesstimate) people asking the same questions you asked per day we do get quite annoyed with people who fail to read what has been explained countless times before.

Yes, admittedly, this rule can be annoying for new members, but it cuts out spambots and alleviates a large number of redundant and useless questions in dev threads (as they again have been asked countless times before).

So hang in there and you'll have access soon enough

Correct.

I mean this one.. http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?a=81

May be like 2nd or 3rd post which can be used to replace latest news changes to forums? That would solve app users problem.. and you people don't have to make too many modification..

Is this possible? Or is it too much work? Because using this already existing announcement thread would be lot useful I think.. because its only use is for once in our xda life time.. no one reads it again and again even though it will stay on top all time in all sections...

Nothing is True.. Everything is Permitted©
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
This is why I think it should be a new thread and not just put in with the rules.

If it's added as an extra post in the forum rules, then how are we even going to know about it. The title of the thread obviously wouldn't change, because it's more important to know they're the forum rules rather than just some change on xda. And because there's no point in reading the rules once you've read them once, we wouldn't randomly read them and see the changes.

That's why I think it should be a new thread.
[About XDA developers] Deadly:
Well, if we put a unread flag on that thread... we will surely look what happened with this thread... atleast I would.. because of plain curiosity..

Also, since this is mainly done for people who use app as main connectivity to site... I'm sure almost all of us know how things work.. so if we see the main rule thread with unread flag we are bound to get curious and check it...

Also we can put a "forum changes"

Or something similar to the title of thread along with the existing title to reflect the changes.. something short with just one word for already existing title...

Why I'm saying we should use existing announcement thread instead of new one is... it almost does nothing but staying at top of thread table all the time...

And I bet it gets the least traffic.. as all we need to do is read it once in our entire xda visits.. & some(most in my opinion) people don't even do that..

So, if we set an unread flag on it whenever it gets updated it won't be ignored and it will be seen..

also this won't be an extra burden when compared to creating one more thread which always sits as sticky in all sections on entire forum which will be a waste of space in app viewable area..
