New users are not allowed to help... :( ??? - About xda-developers.com

I have just registered because I wanted to help somebody with one question in a development forum. After registering, I realized that I'm not allowed to post in the development forums until I post 10 times in the general forum because this forum is only for expert users. I cannot catch the connection between new user and development expertise...
Well, no matter. If the help and collaboration is not wanted, I'll let the user's question unanswered.
I will just continue only reading and not participating...
Bye...

your thread title describes it well mate.. new users should help other users in XDA with 10 valuable/useful posts to get into development forum...so to help in dev section help other new users who are new not just to xda but also android..
PS: Please Do read link to New user? in my signature to know more.. and this thread is getting closed too.. as you should read first then post/ open thread..

^
Agree. there is a really good reason for the 10 post rule. i forgot.

That question should have never been in the development forum in the first place, it should have been in Q&A if available or general if not. You could also PM the user, rather than spamming maybe?

This ^^^^. The question shouldn't be asked in a development forum, that is what q&a is for... development is for development, not questions... not even a question about the rom/kernel should be in development... only development related things... as one of my fav devs say, logcat or gtfo of development forums...

[Request]TO ALL DEVELOPPERS

I opened this thread to ask all developers to try to create a dualboot for our Galaxy S .. so you can start two Android Rom ..
Developpers what do you think about..??
Would be great, this has been done with several android phones already would be sweet if we could have dualboot fun too.
They think that you should post this in the correct section...

But i actually think they have dualboot on epic 4g. Maybe that could help our devs.
What is the correct section..??i think dualboot is a thing to develop..so i put it in Development section..

I agree, should not be posted here yet.
As Allgamer has said in this thread:
You may start planing a [DEV] topic on General or QA and then have it moved to the Galaxy S i9000 Android Development section once the actual Development has started.
Didn't you have another thread a few days ago asking the same thing?
Ok I will start a [DEV] topic on General..
so...
MODERATORS CLOSE THIS THREAD..!!

Cut Spamming !!!

Please stop spamming pals!! The forum is getting really unreadable. Moderators do something will you...?
mods are doing their thing bro, the thing is, newbies are just uncontrollable and they keep on spamming
And can't they just tighten the rules so that any double post will be removed and direct the newbies to the right path. I know that its hard to keep checking the forums all day but for some reason i just can't keep looking at the precious threads getting suppressed by the spams no one in the future will be able to find the useful threads and the forum will not go in the way that it is supposed to.

So keep ur big stinking mouths shut and DO something which really matters to our beloved forum.

Add q & a sub forum. Why is it so hard to create it? Asking questions is seriously not spamming. Asking all the questions in just one faq thread is ridiculous since everyone want to get as attention as possible by making a new post. Many questions in faq thread are left unanswered which makes the newbies frustrated and spam the forums. Simple solution, make a q & a sub forum. Problem solved.

Then you have failed at xda.
Questions go in the related Q&A section not in a development forum. They are only for development

You can only post in non development threads. Just help 10 people in the Q&A threads and you will be fine.

Not being able to post is a good time to use the search button. Wont it be awesome to say "I found the answer myself!" ?
A tip : I find the xda app search to k8nd of suck (sorry guys its true) so either use "web view" or what I do isvuse google and put xda as a constant key word.
The thing is, a lot of times everything is found in your devices q&a section. And you dont need to havev10 posts for that.
Also most device forums tell you "all q&a go in the q&a sub forum" as part of the devices forums rules.
Are you like me and love to help ?
(hey dont roll your eyes me! )
Why not hang out in q&a for a bit?
You can help other and ask all your questions!
Great way to build up your post count!

If you have problems and you need the help of others to solve them then more likely than not your question belongs in the Q&A forum for your device. If you want to answer questions then you can do that in the Q&A as well. Either way, you'll either not need 10 posts because you have nothing to post in a dev thread or you'll easily be able to manage 10 posts because you are a dev and find it easy to answer questions.
Be patient...make the posts on home/forum/general,android,Q&A.....you can't on any device on development forum
That is a good point it seems like every where I try to post is not aloud I don't wanna be intrusive on threads just need some help
You wont find any help posting questions in the development threads anyway. All you will get is a bunch of people telling to post in the Q&A section.
I wish there was an easier way myself. I have been coming here since 2010 to read and find answers, but when I recently had an issue I couldn't find discussed I found I couldn't post.

Look through the q&a section and answer questions and help people. You've been around long enough to know stuff, it shouldn't be hard to put out some effort to help..

You've been a member of XDA for three years and this is the first part you've made! Hardly joining in with the community is it!
By now you should be an expert on your device, so get out there and HELP others in your device's forum with their problems. You'll easily get to 10 posts if you share some of your knowledge :banghead:
Man Man..we already have 2 threads with same meaning & different titles.
1st one -> Alternative to 10 post rule
2nd one -> 10 post RULE is it helpful or harmful - Closed
Now, this is created again. I think we must ask MOD to take necessary action.:angel:

And even if they somehow aren't, there are numerous guides for flashing every device so you should never have to ask a question like that in the first place.

please port a rom

please port some kind of rom
Please unlock the bootloader, then.
Boot loader doesn't need to be unlocked for a port. According to thecubed that is. :thumbup:

I appreciate your optimism and generally good attitude. However, juniors who don't read the rules and have a general disregard for the organization and structure of this community are a detriment. They create extra work for moderators who volunteer their time and make finding information substantially more difficult for users of the site.
If memory serves me well, one of the rules is not to ask for development or etas, though it's been a while since I've peeked at them. Another is certainly posting in the correct forum - which this is not.
I'm going to be blunt, I don't think junior members should be allowed to post in the development sections. Moderators should have the ability to upgrade to a regular member at any time if they see a junior acting accordingly. Likewise, if you post in wrong sections and then abandon the section without reporting your post to a moderator to be closed along with an apology, you should be demoted to a junior for some time. This would prevent a cluttered mess to have to sift through.
It's bad enough we have a severe lack of development due to exclusivity and bootloader issues without the added stress of clutter. I'm not hating on the Op but it sure is disrespectful and I'm sure most will agree with me that it isn't appreciated or beneficial by anyone.

2nd.... noobs, juniors, seniors or moderators we are all on a learning curve and should respect all with patience. Everyone has asked a dumb question, a question that might have already been answered etc. I have and I can only assume all the moderators and or senior members have done the same. gentle reminder rather than coming down on members should be at hand. chill...... this should be an enjoyable situation for all....

that's prolly more than peeps posting in here. and they are the ones that **** up the forum moving threads around almost willy nilly.

Also, many topics are directed to the big "discuss" thread. (the one that was started before this forum even existed, with a ton of useless junk) Why make people go through that? It's convenient to only read threads of interest...
And why mess with threads that have been dead for days?

No, they are directed to be posted in general or Q&A. That's not difficult at all. This post has no place in the development section, period. It's not hard to read the rules and post in proper sections.
This isn't a debate, this is in the wrong section. Development goes in development. Questions in Q&A. Accessories in accessories. Everything else falls in general.

Didn't see those until you mentioned it. That seems ridiculous to me too. In fact I've never seen something like that done in other phone forums. I can imagine it being done for duplicate threads but forcing us to use s single thread seems ridiculous.

First OP Thread Closed & Moved out of the Development Section I will ask you to read the Forum Rules on Posting.
The Moderation Team is made of volunteers and they are Members just like you, if you see threads and or posts out of place...report them, vice posting in this manner.
The Moderation Team can not be in all threads,...again if you find threads that need addressing report it, we rely on Members to point out issues/violations.
Thank You.
