I signed up to this forum because I tried to help someone.

Then this jumps to my nose:

"Please Read: New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums. The developer forums are intended for experienced users and developers to discuss ways to improve technical aspects related to ROMs and Software. While you may be an expert, we ask ALL users to avoid posting questions about using or installing ROMs and software in the Development Forums. To encourage this new Users can read but not post in these forums..."

So he/she did not receive help. Is this good thing?

[About XDA developers] soupmagnet:
Not to derail the topic at hand, but I have a request/suggestion.

Would it be possible to create a "Rooting General" or "General Rooting Q&A" thread in either the General or Android General forums?

Every other post in both the General Q&A and Android Q&A has someone asking for help in rooting their particular device for whatever reason. It makes it rather annoying when looking for relevant questions to answer. I realize the General Q&A forum is open to "all questions, big or small", but I think there is easily enough of a need to have a single thread dedicated to the discussion and/or troubleshooting of rooting and rooting related problems and I think it would dramatically reduce the amount of clutter in both of the aforementioned forums.

TIA
[About XDA developers] zelendel:
The main issue here is that each device has a different way to root it. There is no one root for all devices, these threads come from people not searching properly for their device forums.
[About XDA developers] soupmagnet:
I completely understand and agree with what you are saying, but I think having a single forum to store those misplaced requests, rather than wasting time trying to get the user to post in the right forum (or trying to figure out if there's even a forum for their device), would be a better option. Of course there is a different method of rooting for every device, but that doesn't stop so many helpful users from doing their best to try and help in those situations.

I just think it would be nice to not have to rifle through tons of irrelevant rooting threads just to find the questions I

can

help with. I think it would benefit those users in need of rooting assistance because those people that would try to help, could find everything in one location instead of two completely separate threads and it would make searching a lot easier. And best of all, the users coming to the General Q&A forum and Android Q&A forums with relevant questions could be better supported.
[About XDA developers] mikef:
No need for a whole forum for that, a thread would do. Feel free to start one up since it is your idea, "Having problems rooting your device?" or something, if it is helpful and popular and well supported then it will get stickied.

Thank you,

I have an interesting request. Can the admins make it where one can remove a thanks one gives to a user? I understand some might take it the wrong way, but there had been times I accidentally thanked the wrong person, or the conduct of a user I thanked becomes where one does not deserve the thanks I originally gave. I fully understand though if it cannot be done, I could see where it might cause bad blood.

[About XDA developers] CBongo:
I've been reading as a guest for some time now, and finally joined because I wanted to reply to Quarx's development thread for CM10.2 on Defy with the (successful) results of my installation efforts, in the hopes of making things easier for the next person to come along.

It's unlikely that I'll be posting 10 messages anytime soon, unless it's in reply to that thread.

What should I do?

- Post my "reply" in the Q&A or general Defy forum and hope someone finds it if they need it? [Can a mod surgically attach a post as a reply to an existing post in a different forum, or can they only move posts wholesale?]

- Beg a mod for "reply-only" permission in the Defy dev forum?

- Give up and not bother, leaving the next person in my shoes to struggle (which isn't so bad, learning is good...)

Thanks, and thanks for providing this place for folks to come together. It's been a tremendous help to me.

Well, seeing you have more experience then the average new user, why not dive into the Q&A or general forums, and help some users in need to get your first ten? You can also make a thread in the general forum explaining the issue and the solution. You'll be surprised how many eyes will land on it. Lastly, you can always PM the Dev of the issue u found and the solution.

Recover Previous Account Please!

Hi there,

It has been a while since I been here but I had to create this new account since I forgot the password of my last and first one.

The problem is that I can´t even recover the password through the email since I have changed email and long time ago closed that same email account.

The reason I'm interested in recovering that account is because I had already a nice number of posts and had helped people mainly in the Android Mobile Forum...especially in rooting Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman.

The account name was [and is] ac3ofS2 and I can answer to you Moderators any type of security questions such as what avatar I have on the account or anything else.

All I'm really interested is recovering that account and close this very one I'm posting from please.

Think you can help me with that Mods? You can PM me on this account as I'm online now for any questions.

Good on ya guys!

Almost every forum has a team of moderators assigned. You can find the list of them at the top of each forum.

Here is the announcement on moderator applications. Moderators are not guaranteed assignments to any particular forum, so wanting to be one just to clean up your own threads is probably not the best motive for applying anyway. If you have an outstanding issue with clutter in your threads, I suggest you use the report button to bring it to a moderator's attention.

[About XDA developers] masturbaker:
I am in the same boat as this person. It has nothing to do with the 10 post requirement, I can already post on the forums I want to post on. I am talking about this message I get when I try to post or edit my post, it only lets me post once per 5 minutes:

vBulletin Message

•To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.

But I am not a new user. And it doesn't say anywhere how to get your account verified in the first post. It sounds by this message to me to be like an antispam system where the moderators verify each account by hand before allowing full posting privileges..

[About XDA developers] masturbaker:
I saw that, but it isn't mentioned anywhere by the moderators or admins anywhere else, so I didn't believe it. So until 30 posts, I am stuck with a dysfunctional account?

I think you guys should consider lowering it from 30. It takes months of making valid posts to get to that mark, especially for a casual user who isn't using this forum to socialize frequently but when they do use it get hampered by the limits in place. If a user ends up making 5-10 legit posts, you know by that time it ain't a spam bot, and moderators would have had time to take action to ban them, so why restrict people from editing or making posts till a high count of 30? just a helpful suggestion, cause at this rate, it might take me another three years before I get off this restriction, even though I am clearly not a "new user" any more.
[About XDA developers] XXLithiumXX:

[About XDA developers] masturbaker:
Dude, not everyone comes here to socialize, develop, and provide support on a regular basis. some people pop in for short periods when getting assistance, like one time problems, or one time help installing a rom or something, or to participate in a discussion here or there. for people who aren't trying to establish a social life for themselves here, it is very hard to get above the 10-30 post limit. you gotta be a post whore to make the 3000+ posts you've made so far (did this all in only 2 years? that.. is a lot of posts in such a short period of time. I have never made more than a few hundred posts a year on any forum I ever frequent..)..

but, it does look like the board admins heard my complaints, because they reduced the wait time from 5 minutes to 2 minutes, and put the requirements to lift the silly restriction right there in the board warning message. after about 30 posts, you can post without waiting 2 minutes.

I have not found the 2 minute wait to be super intrusive. thanks for changing it. meanwhile, I am slowly moving my way towards 30 posts... :)
[About XDA developers] :
There are people who have been here for a year and have 10k plus posts. 3000 posts was easy. 30 posts was too easy.

I was 11 when I joined. Got those 30 posts merely through helping, and asking.

I highly doubt they've changed anything. Since the restrictions were set, over 100 people have complained. Man, even over 200 people.

Please, if you have a good alternative to these restrictions, post them in the 10 post alternative thread. We've only seen one guy, or two, with a decent alternative there, which are being thought about or were shot down. Hence, the restrictions remained untouched.

I don't have anything to say about the 10 post alternative. They already loosened up the restriction that was effecting me, so I'm good.

"some people pop in for short periods when getting assistance, like one time problems, or one time help installing a rom or something"

Those words right there kind of erk me. You see I've got this friend, he's been a member of this site since '07. He has never, ever posted a single thing on the site. Not once. No questions at all, not even a "+1" or "thanks" or anything. He reads and reads and reads some more. He joined for the same reason I did back in the day, you needed to be a member to download files from the forums. Now that restriction is gone there is no need to be a member anymore unless you want to participate. Asking questions is not participating. I can't think of a single time I asked a question in development either. I have asked a few in general and q&a. Where they belong and the restrictions don't affect me. If you would just follow the rules, then you would have no problems here, if you would just read, you would have no problems here. If people would just read the rules to follow them, nobody would have any problems at all. Very simple. Read and follow.
