[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Yes but chances are, that bug or whatever would've already been noticed and reported by someone else, hence making it not an emergency. And even if it hasn't been reported, is it so much to ask that you make 10 constructive posts beforehand? Is it so hard to go to your device's forum and help out other users to gain your 10 posts? The answer is no.

These rules are in place for a reason and I very much doubt that side of the rules will be changed any time soon.

If that "XXX123 custom rom v1" has a general discussion thread/any similar problem thread post there...i guessing there is none in this case.

Or create a thread in the general...take my word for it, many "XXX123 custom rom v1" users do monitor threads in general section and will help.

Yes, posting bug report/fix/question in the dev thread is the logical thing to do.

Maybe u make sensible posts but there are hundreds of no0bs who spam the dev threads..and so the post count limitation is in place.
[About XDA developers] pumanger:
To make 10 constructive posts might not be hard to do to someone who has smart phone thing as a "hobby", but I am an average guy who knows how to flash my phone (once I am happy, I will not tweak my phone for the next year or two) but this smart phone thing is definitely not a "hobby" to me.

This is the only forum where I have ever seen 10 post rule (or anything similiar). I bet there are good reasons to it, but in a fact the rule is creating spam...
[About XDA developers] mikef:
Users who don't make attempts at constructive posts aimed at helping others are creating spam. The rule does not.
[About XDA developers] timmymarsh:
Yes, thanks for that last post......ooops, its gone :silly:

.....@pumanger, on another note, rather than keep going on about our rules and whether you think they're pants or not, why not go into the Q&A area and help someone out - although you've now managed to get to ten posts by going on about it........... ;)

Thanks.

[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
Yes there's still a lot of spam on these forums, but imagine how much there'd be if this rule wasn't in place. It would increase ten-fold, easily. Any forum around the world will have spam on it, some more than others obviously. But as of yet, there's no 100% clear-cut way of stopping spam from happening and until there is, users here at XDA will have to learn to be happy with these rules, or atleast accept them.

[About XDA developers] mikef:
If you add them to your ignore list their PM's silently get dropped before reaching your inbox. Not sure about the "reserved" posts, probably best to report and request a thread cleaning from a mod.

Another option you might consider is starting an "Official xxxx ROM Support Thread" in the General or Q&A forums. Make it clear that support questions for your ROMs go there and not in your dev threads. Ask the mods to move the posts as necessary. If enough devs did this then maybe people would get the idea.

I think the 10 posts limit should be applied to off topic too...
[About XDA developers] -DarkKnight-:
but then people can't post in the "Hi" thread anymore :P

otherwise, I completly agree

we should have a system where for users wanting to post in their device's dev section, for example to post in x10 dev section, you have to post in other x10 sections(general, themes etc) 10 times and then you take a mini quiz(not hard) about the various things about the device(etc roms, tweaks, basic stuff) to make sure they didn't just spam post. and this happens again for each device's dev section they want to post in.

so new users can get familier with their device before we let them post in the development section, then they have less questions too

or we could make posts in off-topic not count towards your 10 posts

[About XDA developers] Quinny899:
There was an idea thread of all new users taking a quiz on the rules when they join, that should help
[About XDA developers] -DarkKnight-:
my idea is on the device. so users are forced to read through important threads and posts about their device.

or we could do like a scavenger hunt where users are supposed to find certain info or other stuff from within their device section. ie posts, threads, answers(easy stuff), just so they read through stuff

If its too hard, they could just postpone the quiz or whaterver, just no be able to post in dev threads until they pass the quiz

because some "noobs" don't even read at all. their 10 posts are at different places, ie. q/am, themes, off topic, and not at their device section. in my section, they were saying "great job! or how do I get this to work, when it is in the OP, or something doesn't work, when it was explained 1 page ago, or on the bug list"
[About XDA developers] Quinny899:
I think we should have a quiz for them within the registration form, after the email verification, that first lists the rules and then gives questions that are paraphrased from the actual rules themselves. For example, you can have

Which rule is about using the thanks button rather than posting?

8. Rather than posting thanks, press the button at the bottom of the post

Then the user has to actually search through the rules to find the answer, and so has more chance of reading them. There is the obvious flaw of using the find tool in the browser, there are a few options:

Make the rules an image rather than text, you can't use the find tool

Make it flash

Make them read in a video

Leave it and hope that anyone who knows about the find tool is good enough to read the rules anyway
