[About XDA developers] JokerAce:
May I know if this is feasible. Kindly provide me with reasoning if it isn't ;)

Multiple threads deal with OT and irrelevant post, especially places like Development areas. Development areas are places where Developers post their kangs/creation online.. The last thing that he should see is pages after pages of blabbering/+1s/unsupported complains/etcs which doesn't help his development, and blocks him away from genuine users with proper logcats etc..

More often than not, the Developer has a team, trusted people he made friends with while developing the kangs/creation.. Always trying to help by guiding people to post with proper logs and keep the blabbering to themselves.. Some even when further and created a thread in the General Section for people to blabber/(Stupid) +1s/unsupported complains/etcs.. But as we are know, as there are always good people around, there will always be bad people around, it's a balanced world..

So we see the team helplessly always guiding people with

1."Please post in the proper place @ [link]"

2."It is not related to development, please go @ [link] to discuss"

3.etc....

All these, tho with good intent (to help), but ended up adding more clutter to the development thread.

Post are reported, and Mods are activated to continuously clean the thread... However, it seems like an endless cycle.

So there's two parts to my suggestions:

1. Increase the minimum post counts for posting in the Development Sections.

The current 10 (if there are no changes) post is too little, and too easily achievable. A couple of lame +1s/yays/comments and the post counts are reached.. More often than not, these excited newbies jumps right to the last page of the thread and post their grievances at the wrong area.. Despite having a Non-Development Thread set up for them, newbies will be newbies until they learn.

So I suggest to increase minimum post count to at least 30 (or more). It makes it harder for them to achieve and perhaps spend more time enlightening themselves through the OP and the Non-Dev Thread. I really think this should be implemented.

2. To grant discretionary, but limited, rights to OP (Developer) and Nominated Trustees (Up to an arbitrary number of max people, let's say 3) to remove post (Up to an arbitrary max number of post, let's say 3) and recommend ban/remove post + thanks counts.

The NT serves as a small team of police team. More often than not, they are at the thread supporting the development, so they have greater omnipresence than Mods and Admins. They will be able to deal with the problems at the bud faster and more efficiently. However, to prevent power abuse, as absolute power corrupts absolutely, we limit the number of post they can remove, so they use it wisely and efficiently. OP (Developer) can be given higher limit, as he knows how to manage better.

Perpetual abusers of OT/Blabbers/(Stupid) +1s would be faced with posts + thanks counts reduction to zero (accumulate 30 post again), and worst case banned (create new account? Start with another 30 posts counts).

I see potential crazies that will go all out to gain post counts, but I am sure the Mods and Admins are able to catch them and ban them. It might be hard work at the start, but potentially, it will gradually beat them down. No one would want to keep accumulating post counts so they can talk at the Development, and to only get reduction to Zero and accumulate again.

All in all, I hope that Admins/Mods can see the effort I put in here.. It's not a perfect plan, as I try to look at as many point of views as possible, but I hope I can get a valid reasoning to them, should they be unfeasible.
