I had this same problem on a forum that I moderate. My solution worked extremely well, though. Every time someone created a thread that was not on topic, I just locked it. I didn't peruse the thread (except for the first post, on occasion, if the thread title was ambiguous). I didn't care where the discussion had gone. No post explaining why it was locked. I didn't move it. I ignored any PMs to me about it being locked (and created a sticky entitled, "Why was my thread locked?!" for those people to read).
This worked fantastically because (1) regular forum members stopped posting in threads that were not on topic, and (2) irregular members stepped up the quality of their posts because they were forced to read the rules.
So that's my suggestion. I'm willing to do it for you if you guys are in need of assistence.

Introduction

Hey guys this is Michael from USA and I am new to this forum. As i read the prevoius post in this forum the best way to spread out the information . Forum has developed the knowledge of people.
----------------------------------------------------------------

On behalf on XDA I would like to welcome you to the community. To familiarise yourself, I would recommend you reading the forum rules, wiki and stickies for your device

If your thread is a question, PLEASE use the [Q] tag!

It would make life for ALL of us ALOT easier.
Thanks.

Here it is, our very own Q&A forum.
Here is the place to ask all your questions, post your problems, and get feedback from helpful members!
Also, devs in other forums usually use this to create a Q&A thread, linked to their dev thread, to reroute all questions.
Please keep it civil and happy posting.
Oh and if you have suggestions for the Q&A forum, let it know here.

[Q] Can I open this thread?

I'm an experienced user, i've been using roms on my old 32A Magic phone for a while never had to ask stuff really, but now I have a problem with the new CM7.2 ROM and I really wanted to ask something in the proper thread but since I didn't have the previleges I have to open a thread and post stuff to reach to minimum number of posts. Sorry for inconvinience dear mods.

can post now a lot of posts?
just to reach the 10 min? Hope so. Don't wanna spam but I really need this issue resolved/answered.

any mods there??? please answer

First off, starting threads to complain about the 10 post rule is just silly. The mods will most likely delete it and you'll be back to 0.
Secondly, if you have a question then just search the Q&A forum for your device, and if it's not already asked then start a thread there.
Personally, I hate people asking questions about ROMs and the like outside of the original dev thread. I think the 10 post rule should only apply to creating threads in the dev forums, not posting.
But I digest.
As I said - the Q&A forum is apparently the correct place for this.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

thanks for the replies.

can you please provide me with a link to the Q&A thread? I searched Q&A Magic and it didnt come up with any thread other than the developers, on wich I cant post yet. Thanks guys.

Wow - there's no Q&A forum. How bizarre!
Anyway, search and (if needed) create a thread in the general forum instead...

I agree..it's pain in the arse..i understand the reasoning but when you've worked in IT or have some semblance of knowledge it's very frustrating and makes no sense when it's a comment about a thread it should be within the thread...i shouldn't have to jump thru hoops first to show that i can post...it surely can't be worse than some of the other crap i've seen people posting..esp when it's already been answered earlier in the thread...that's just lasy...or dare i say it..stupid

[Q]

Plz developer unlock my LUMIA 710. chevron not working.
other solution please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question & Answer section is not a place where everyone can open a new thread with the own question. It is needed to search before, read the sticky threads, read the wikis, read and read once again, and post in an existing thread, if necessary. Repetitive topics will be deleted/closed without previous notice. Topics like 'urgent help' or 'do I brick my phone?' and so will be deleted/closed without previous notice. Infractions issued to reiterative members. Huge and cluttered forum helps to nobody!!! Remember XDA-Developers.com is about development. Thanks for your cooperation. Best regards,
