Question About Creating [Icon] Threads

Firstly thank you for putting my TallMin icons the main site, very much appreciated. I have a question (posting so that I won't get banned if I'm doing wrong). I understand that people won't go into a different phone forum to check for icons, so am I ok to post multiple threads showing my icons?
For instance 1 on the desire themes section, and one in the nexus one themes section?
As I said I have already created these, but if it is deemed to be spam in your eyes please do let me know and I'll remove the extra threads asap.
Thanks

Your welcome
You can post threads to your work with no problem, just be sure you don´t double post the same work on different sections.

it is the same work though, but only posting it in one phone section sort of cuts out a whole lot of people who would also be interested. I couldn't find anything in the rules about this so thought it best to clarify directly.
(I've also seen people post same work in multiple phone sections so this is why i thought it should be ok)

This forum is so big that it´s almost impossible to be aware of all threads and posts. XDA rules mention no double posting/thread is allowed.
I got your point and for that you can use a better section to publish your work like:
Windows Mobile Themes
(Themes and skins for Windows Mobile devices)
Or
Windows Mobile Apps and Games
(Applications and games created by xda-developers users for use on Windows Mobile. No commercial apps/games allowed.)
So no matter what device, you can have one single thread containing all resolutions or specific devices.

I see thanks. Quite a few of the threads already have replies in, I'm almost certain some of those replies are from people that would have not seen the post if it only existed in the forums you mentioned. So I have to disagree with that rule, but will of course abide by it.

didn't know this was a rule but I suppose it does make sense,
Sent from my HTC Super Hero using XDA App which doesn't have the word iPhone in its vocabulary, and I wish I didn't either all on my custom baked Rom

[Q] Development or Apps Forum

OK, I just made my first Android app and I was going to post a thread to get feedback. Since it's related to developing on the Android platform, my instinct is to put it in the Android Development forum. It seems, however, that the dev forum is strictly related to ROM's these days (some of which involve no actual dev work).
So, the question is... Dev or App forum?

Definitely put it in the Themes and App forum. If you put it in development, it will get moved

I just don't get why we call it Android Development. Why not call it what it is - Android ROMS, or maybe more appropriately - Android ROM Development.

[Q] "Request new forum rules" sticky or "Request new forum" forum?

[Q] "Request new forum rules" sticky or "Request new forum" forum?
Reading through all forum request posts and threads throughout this "About xda-developers.com" forum and "(requests) From the Users to the Mods & Admins" thread I wondered whether it's time to create:
a sticky with "Request new forum rules" (ie. a sticky that explains what needs to be achieved before a new forum request is honored, like amount of requestees, anount custom ROMs built, first hacks, rooting, modding, etc. done)
a "Request new forum" forum, so admins and ops can easily spot new forum requests without having to cleanout and check existing Q&A forums like this one...
Regards,
Nika.

Especially Android is a very fast-growing OS with new great devices nearly every week and many not-so-mainstream phones and tablets besides HTC and Samsung and the rest that really should get some attention.
But I would never be completely satisfied with a product w/o root or Custom ROMs simply because I know that the manufacturer won't support it as long as the community would or I can't use essential stuff like Backups.
However I'm not quite talented with all the hacking and development stuff, so xda is my prime source for that.
After a little bit more than 3 years passive reading I had a first request but found quite a mess.
It seems like nobody knows where to request new forums and even the Mods say different things where to post. The only thing they say in common is that these posts are in the wrong section and are therefore being ignored.
In short words: a central, easy to find (been trying to find the 'right section' for quite some time) place for these kind of requests would be great! Thanks for your efforts
btw: I don't mean to criticise the Mods/Admins or the forum itself. I just want to share what I experienced as a not so noobish and not so active user

[Q] How to create New Thread in Paid Software Forum for Newbie?

Hi guys, I'm newbie on xda-developers, but I like this site. There are many people full of desire to help each other.
Also I'm newbie in development mobile application, I've released few application for Android. But my applications are better and better .
Recently I've released "SQL Tools" for Android, it's a good application useful for IT people (system administrators, developers, owners of web sites and others). It's unique application which can perform backup & restore sql databases, analyze and fine-tuning config file of sql servers (MySQL, PostgreSQL). I haven't seen similar application in Google Play.
So, my problem is: I'd like to publish review in Paid Software forum here, but I registered on forum.xda-developers.com recently and I'm not allowed to create a new thread in this Forum. I don't want to violate the rules of Forum and publish this review in other Forums.
Who can help me to post my review and then refer to me as owner of the application.
Thank you very much.
