As the title states, all questions posted in this section will be deleted without notice. Development is not tech support, and it is certainly not Q&A. We have a dedicated Q&A forum specifically for those needs. This issue has become such a problem here that it occasionally becomes hard to find actual development work in this sub-forum. Additionally, more than two thirds of my reported posts are questions erroneously posted in this section.
Repeat offenders will be given infractions and/or time off from the XDA community.
My goal with this is not to be a jerk, but rather to keep the boards clean.
Why do I have to make 10 posts to be able to post questions on the development forums?
I'm not a newbie, not an expert either but I use custom roms and I can't ask any questions because I can't post.
I agree with this, its a huge turn off and posting 10 random things ( 50 minutes worth since we also cant post but every 5 minutes.. ) in general is pointless. Id like to be able to do what I joined the forum for. Post in the section that peaks my interest.
Most roms have a Q&A thread. If not start onebin the Q&A section for your question. All questions should be in the Q&A forums. People posting non development related question in the development section is the reason for the rule.

Then don't waste 50 minutes posting pointless crap. Spend time making useful and constructive posts. If you have something worth saying in the development forums then this will cause you no problem at all....

Tbf those first ten posts teach you the significance of replying on the formns and do generally reduce the amount of spam on the developers section subsequently.. although I completely support what zelenden is saying.

YES, You are right, most of the ROMs have this part of Q&A or FAQ, But when we don't find the answers, we need to post a question.
Also I need to put a question when my device is stuck in a point, I searched the entire thread by using the "Search this thread" tool, and have no answer.
Sure at this time I need to post a question.
I'm using the internet about 17 yrs ago, and I feel these yrs are very enough to enable me to post a question without posting random words here or there and wasting your time as well as mine, just to count 10 posts.
I wish I didn't bother you. but I honestly passed my feeling.
Regards

That's why you post your question in the Q&A thread. Or make a new thread in the Q&A section. So you can ask your question.
No worries man. It takes alot to bother me lol
Q&A is Questions & Answers section in case that needed explaining. each device usually has a:
General area
Questions & Answers area
DEVELOPMENT area
Applications area
you ask about posting questions in DEVELOPMENT, but they should go in Questions & Answers
i notice a slight language barrier in that last one.

Android Development Forums are for Android Development Only!!!
If you gotta a question, post it on General, if you got a comment, place it on General.
IF YOU ARE NOT DEVELOPING ANYTHING, DO NOT POST ON DEVELOPMENT
Threads not belonging on Development forums will be moved or deleted without notice
Ladies and Gents,
As you may have noticed, we have been granted a Q&A section.
Therefore, all your questions should be posted there.
I will not be answering any more questions if they are not posted in the correct section, and I highly recommend everyone else to do the same.

Nice thread
Btw many other phones don't have q&a but we do. And it seems to be useless. People why u no understand that general section is not for questions!

Generally if a thread is moved it's because it's posted in the wrong forum section. When the thread is moved that's also usually accompanied with at least a notification that the thread has been moved, but sometimes it can also be a PM.
If you've got questions about a ROM thread being moved you can always contact any moderator and ask for clarification on the matter.
It's hard for me to say more than that since I don't have any backstory to what you're talking about.
Since this thread isn't really on topic for this forum I'll lock it and if you want to discuss further you can contact me through a PM.
