In this situation the rules aren't vague. Your thread was closed because a duplicate thread existed. Regardless of what methods were used to distribute the invites, the end goal was the same - to help members get invites for Inbox.

We truly appreciate that you came here to help, after all we have thousands upon thousands of members who need help in one way or another. We're glad of all the help members can receive. In regards to helping members getting Inbox invites, surely you can still help members in the current thread. That should still keep all sides happy, right?

Poll options charactre limits (just 50!)

Isn't it possible to write poll options that are LONGER than just 50 Characters?

Why not 64 Characters, why not 80? And why not 100 or gar 120?

Or just 75?

Well... 50 Characters per poll option is unpleasantlý short!

ANOTHER SUGGESTION:

My suggestion:

Why doesn't the Post display, which type of member the member who posted this has been when this was posted.

Example:
[HTML]Post added - 25.11.2010 - 12:58:24
[PHP]Example_Member
Señoir Member
Postede as Junior Member[/PHP][/HTML]

And there's the Next Point - The Post only displays Hours and Minutes, when a post was Submitted. Why don't display the seconds? (Well... maybe it's too exact?)

But it won#t be actually a bad idea to exceute my first suggestion with the former type of XDA-Member that shows up next to the post. (XDA-Classic:above the post text itself and all newer styles - Left next to post.)

I appreciate your feedback at least you listen and give us chance to explain like the one about to be hanged.

Yes if I have more invites I will do it in official thread.

Some people gave me offers 5$ and some said god bless for invite. Well thought of an order for people who are desperate and don't want to encourage bribing.

Transparency is the key my friend. When people post email ids publicly it should have been deleted but is not. Some prefer giving invite to first post, some prefer to the one who thanked. In my thread one posted mail ID publicly by the time I came in evening to report thread was closed !!!

Thanks again for all your replies. Happy Modding.

[About XDA developers] m1trand1r:
Because you still haven't reached 10 posts as I can see..(10 post XDA rule).you are still 6 posts away from.posting on development forums. That's why;)
[About XDA developers] Neo:
When you post in a development forum with a low post count, it will automatically post your message into a Q&A thread for that development thread.

If one isn't already created, your post will auto generate a Q&A thread for that Development Thread where other members (and possibly the developer/Dev OP) can answer any question or comment you may have.

However, if the developer/Dev OP elects to have any poster who's count is below "10" posts to be able to post in his Dev thread, he can convert his existing dev thread to a DevDB project and disable filtering to allow all posters to post in it without having it done so in an auto generated Q&A.

Swear word robot

Does the Server also look for Swear-Words?

Let's say the XDA-Robots know a huge list of swear words. (Also Censored)

The Robots Search XDA in real-time.

If they find such a word, then it tells a forum-moderator.

Then the Forum-Moderator see the thread and manage it.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make somethin g like that?

Or do the XDA-Forums already use this technique?
[About XDA developers] TonyStark R.I.P.:
This technology already exists, to the best of its ability. Unfortunately many users are cunning and will always try to circumvent the detection.

Ex:

**** is sometimes written as siht

As you can see the foul word was blanked out, while the misspelled word is not.

In cases of manipulated words, many of these are reported and then a moderator will remove. Along with the removal, a PM is usually sent to the offender with a reminder of the XDA rules

Hey folks.....I'm wondering...why is @QA Bot creating q/a thread(s) for discussion thread(s) ???

It doesn't make any sense to me if discussion thread is already more than q/a thread:o
[About XDA developers] :
The Q&A bot threads are created when a member with less than 10 posts asks something in a development thread. It's a new system so new members can find Development related help without starting a new thread for each new member with a question.

As far as some roms already having a Q&A thread.... Well, at the moment the automatic Q&A bot system has no way to know that. ?
[About XDA developers] m1trand1r:
Hey RC...I was there once in the past:D

But i'm afraid you got me wrong here.

I'll explain....

Here's q/a made by QA Bot(NOTE: ) for DISCUSSION THREAD..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2936227

[Q&A] [DISCUSSION] Let's try to Make TOGETHER Android 5.0 For Galaxy S2!

And below it's original DISCUSSION THREAD which was opened/created by a member.

[DISCUSSION] Let's try to Make TOGETHER Android 5.0 For Galaxy S2!
[About XDA developers] Neo:
Then perhaps the original discussion thread should not have been started in a Development Sub Forum. Any thread created in a Development sub-forum is marked as a "Development Thread" by the system. Once a new member or a member below "10" posts attempts to post in that thread, it will generate an auto Q&A bot thread which is for both Q&A and discussion. This, again, is in an effort to allow those with low posts to join in a discussion related the the Development Thread for which they were not yet allowed to post in and can quite possibly help them find the answers they are looking for (all the while establishing good posts for them to post in dev threads in the future).

While it may not make sense to have 2 "discussion" threads, this can be resolved in the future by either not posting a discussion in Development, or converting the new thread in Development to a Dev-DB project with filtering disabled (which allows low posters to post in the dev thread). That second option will prevent a Q&A thread from being auto generated should a low post member attempt to post in the Development Thread.
[About XDA developers] :
Yup, I got that. ?

I was meaning to say that if there's an existing discussion thread created by the Dev, or whoever.... When a member under 10 posts, posts to the actual Dev thread... If there isn't already a Q&A bot thread, one is created, even if a member created one exists already. The system just doesn't have a way to know atm.

So yes, there ends up being 2. Q&A bot's and the members.

Edit: ahhhhhhh... I definitely missed the location of the member made discussion thread. It's also in the development section. Yeah, so how's a new member supposed to get help? Start a new thread in Q&A... Creating clutter.

My suggestion to anyone who sees this, report the discussion thread to be moved to Q&A. ?

Sorry I mixed the question up. Carry on. ?

[About XDA developers] Quicksilver7714:
Hello, I have been a member of XDA for many years. I havent posted much as I also participate on other smaller dedicated forums.

I have a few gripes and complaints/questions about the new member limitations.

First, why am I limited to a Five minute post window and how long does this limitation last? I have met the 10 post quota but I'm still limited to a 5 minute post window.

It is a pain in the ass to post a legitimate response when you can only respond once every five minutes. I understand that this is applied in an effort to cut down on spam but as a long term member I never would have thought that I would be subjugated to such limitations. I currently have posts waiting to be posted in three separate threads. and I have to wait five minutes between each. This is really starting to get on my nerves.

Also why does the forum software think an edited post is a new post. Why must I wait to edit my post? That is absurd.

Finally, I can't seem to send PM's to certain members. I tried to PM a member about creating a watch face earlier and my PM would not send. I dont know if there is any limitations still on my account but I find it problematic that I can't send a simple PM. And i apparently cant send PMs to the forum staff either.

I am not in any way new to the forum verse. I am a contributing member to Droidforums.net for many years

Best regards,

Quicksilver7714
[About XDA developers] eagleeyetom:
Restrictions are put in place to prevent spammers etc. You will see similar restrictions in other places like Stack Overflow etc. 5 minute limitation will cease to exist once you hit the 30 post mark. Some Recognized Developers have an option to disable the messages from <10 post users. Members can also limit the PMs to friends only, hence your problems.

We are sorry that you face such restrictions, but they are here to make XDA a better place.

[About XDA developers] nerotNS:
I've been here for a while, and the rules generally work good, and the forum is well managed, however there is one thing that bugs me. I've seen a lot of members having a "If I helped, press thanks" in their signature. Now that isn't much of a problem spam-wise but imo it kinda defeats the purpose of it. People know what the thanks button is and shouldn't be reminded to use it. There is one more thing, I've seen some members asking for thanks up front via forum posts. Again, imo, that can be considered as spam because I really don't see how making a post where you ask somebody to hit the thanks button is on relevant topic. There are also examples of people "trading" thanks (for example I'll give you two thanks if you give me two as well). This last thing effectively breaks the system and can also fall into the spam category as it's done publicly over forum posts. Now I suggest that a rule should be added that prohibits asking for thanks publicly via forum posts as well as a bit stricter methods for those that trade thanks (because the thanks meter should be earned by helping and not by making deals with other members) . I'd allow a small, not intrusive signature, but still not a big one that takes up half the screen.
[About XDA developers] GermainZ:
Please report posts that ask for thanks or donations upfront, or thanks trading/farming. That's not allowed.

As for asking for thanks in general, if it's just a simple reminder, it's fine. If it's too large/distracting then we can ask the member to tone it down (contact any moderator or use the report button). :)
[About XDA developers] vikraminside:
Hitting thanks is a courtesy. Its been taught from childhood. People forget when they grow up.

That does not mean you need to force people to hit thanks. For e.g hit thanks if u need invite .

[About XDA developers] Neo:
It is a courtesy and it seemingly gets forgotten these days especially when people are very "grab and go" about their problems. Kinda like "forgetting" to tip your waiter or delivery boy. It is a courtesy but obviously not a requirement.

Nobody is being "forced" to click/tap any thanks button btw. Simply saying "hey, click thanks if I've helped!" is not an order :P

Additionally, getting members into the habit of clicking/tapping thanks will diminish the unnecessary extra posts that say "thanks" which clutter up the threads. Thanking a member properly will also (hopefully) develop and encourage a sense of gratitude for both the thanker and those witnessing the act publicly.

I agree up to a point, but there have been cases where people post "and don't forget to thank me" kind of posts which is off topic img (especially in development boards, where it just makes unnecessary clutter) .

Will xda please provide an opt-in or opt-out choice for auto Q&A thread generation?

Many devs, myself included, don't want a separate Q&A thread. And switching to a Dev-DB thread to turn off the Q&A thread is not an acceptable option since many devs, myself included, don't like Dev-DB threads.

I really don't understand the full court press for Dev-DB threads and separate Q&A threads despite the lukewarm reception from devs. Encouraging them is fine, but ramming it down our throats with no acceptable way to opt-out is...well...not cool.

P.S. Letting others run the Q&A thread is also not an acceptable option.

Thanks for your feedback.

Just out of curiosity, why don't you want to convert to a DevDB thread? It improves discoverability of your projects because DDB threads get a special green tag, plus, if you want, you can enable tabs for Screenshots, Reviews, etc...or you can keep things spartan and leave all of those turned off so that your DDB project looks like a normal thread.

It literally takes 3 minutes to convert your thread to DDB, and you can disable Q&A filtering at the bottom of the form. If you want, I can convert your thread for you. :fingers-crossed:
