Think that's right.
Until you get the necessary number of posts, PM is your only choice that I know of.
Thank you all
thanks for your reply
i will try using pms till i get 10 posts
PM is too much work,but i know other people who are having the same problem
I think there should be a provision that after a certain number of days, one can post in the dev sections.
I've been doing some testing on my phone but whenever I want to post my thoughts, I get that message.
Inevitably, I now find myself facing a big problem that needs advanced answers but I can't post in the DEV sections. For all the good that XDA has given me, this one single drawback is steadily nullifying it all.

You could always send the dev for that rom a pm to ask them the question. I'm sure they will be able to help you.
Hi,
To post in the forums, where I can ask for and give help, I need to have posted at least 10 times. I cannot even thank TRusselo who wrote the Newbie guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041206
I could consider this one of the 10, but this is just creating a mess in the CMS for this site.
Or is there a forum where I can do a quick post 10 times, which a moderator will purge monthly

It's to weed out helpful people.
If they're helpful, they leave before they get 10 posts.

Aah, your timezone is set wrongly. XDA does not yet know which timezone you are in.
At the top of this page, to the left of "Welcome squallrblade", click on User CP.
On the left, select "Edit options", under "Settings and Options". Halfway down, set your timezone.
Why you are 4 mins off, I have no idea. Either the server or your wall clock is off.

Yes, and that way, the thread can be deleted without a thought later
If we are going to do that, might as well as use it as a sandbox, to learn formatting, etc.
Whos helpful? Yeah. It's annoying. I need a few more myself.
I'm such a forum geek too. If you added up my posts from everywhere I post it's over 25,000 and they started in the 1990's.
I hit the magic 10 and still cant post in the Litening Rom 2.2 forum?

Oh dear. I just reviewed a forum I had been a member of for about 2 and a half years and I racked up around 14000 posts.
bacause you are n00b. just like the vid in reg page. same same like me here. need gaining post
and then you will get
1. To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.
9 post means 9 times 5 equal 45min more or less
congrats
2 messages i send to moderators , missing
10 posts i posted deleted..
whats next? close my account???
The 10 posts missing could be two things
1. Somtimes the system updates and posts gomissing for a short while, but come back.
2. The manner of your ten posts, if you simply went onto a thread and said somthing like "thanks for this usefull thread", then this is seen a spamming to get upto your first ten posts, and Mods will remove these types of posts.
As for your two pm's going missing, unless you clicked save to send folder before you sent the pm's then they will not show up in your send folder.
I hope this has cleared up a few of the issues you are having.

Well , i understand that this is a very big forum , and must have rulles to function , but how can i post usefull thinks in general? believe me i tried.
General is general. i dont know about roms , i m not interested about hacking , i m a developer . i m interested in developing apps. Thats it.
One good way in which to reach your 10 posts, is go to all the Q&A forums and look to see if you know the answer to other members problems and before you know it you will have your 10 posts. Also if you go to about XDA forum their is a thread their call How to be a new user, their are some tips their on how to get your first 10 posts.

You would need to contact a S-Mod via PM and ask have your posts been removed or is their tenical issue, reason, for them going missing.
You also need to be aware that many people join this forum claiming to be "interested in developing for Android", and all they ever do is post questions in the Dev forums which don't belong there. The Dev forum is not the right place to ask questions about how to develop apps and things.
If you use the search function, you will find there are guides on XDA for the basics in Android development which you should read and then start learning.

Depends on the mod and their mood, some of them will just remove a few posts to try to make people understand that they are not following the rules, some of them may simply wipe the slate clean since it is faster and easier than picking through what may appear to be non-contributory posts to leave a couple of adequate posts. Also as s.d.oconnor stated, unless you checked the box to save your PM's in Sent Items they will not be saved automatically. Mods don't delete PMs.
Fallen Spartan said:
The 10 post rule was put in place to make new users think, and hopefully contribute and help others by making useful posts rather than the usual crap like "thanks", "kewl" etc or ask questions which have been asked countless times before. They still have access to dev forums, just cannot post in them. Its not a massive restriction and to provide 10 useful/helpful posts is not hard.

It does sound like a Tec issue or a bit of both, but i would recomend waiting 24 hrs and see if soem or all of your missing posts reapear, and if not then you contact a S-Mod, and explain what has happend, they would then be able to tell you if your posts were removed and why or if it's a Tec issue they would pass the infomation onto an admin.
Any way , thank you all for your answers , i ve allready sended 2 PMs , maybe a technical issue , i ll wait for an answer from the mods.
10 post rule has to be rethought
Hi,
this rule for 10 posts is not very good.
how should i post, for example a patched version of rom when i cannot write in the dev. board ?
please dont get me wrong, but in my eyes this is not helpful.

Au contraire....the rule for 10 posts is very good, when compared to the alternatives. Threads full of spam posts selling whatever junk of the week? 1000's of "Thanks for a great ROM" posts to wade through to find a reply to a question asked a few hours before...not much better. Teenagers using every thread for chit-chat. If you prefer an Android site like that I can assure you there are many out there. Funny thing though, all of them seem to link back to content here....after you get past the gauntlet above.

I just wanted to ask a question in the tastemybeans thread which just received an update today. Since the OP didn't put up a change log I simply wanted to ask if the simultaneous voice and data was fixed in the current build. No one else asked this question but this site makes it impossible to new members to ask a simple question like that.

Because new members generally post new threads in the dev section. They don't read the rules.
I know a lot of others think what I do, there should be a test before getting to post in the dev section. If you fail, no posting, if you pass but don't follow the rules, instant ban.

Taste of beans is just a slightly modified version of incubus26jc tw jb. Follow the incubus26jc thread if you want to see whats coming out. Incubus26jc has been doing all the heavy lifting.
And if you bothered to read the taste of beans thread you would see that remfi said he won't post a change log.
And that is why you cannot post in dev.

douchey much? you guys are the XDA elite and know so much!!! seriously though did you get punked a lot at school by the bullies so you have to bully here? no one i know who has a real life with either school or a job has time to read every post of every thread, or even every post that shows up in a search one does for a particular topic. even then your bound to quickly skip by it if you are skimming. so instead of being dicks welcome a new member to the community and embrace. either way if the OP wants to reply to this thread 5 for times so you get 10 posts go for it... **** everyone else .i think your question and reason to post is legit and yes i read the rules and yes i have been an xda member probably longer than you have been alive.
looks like the OP has been a member for a while too.. just a lurker and not a poster which to me means he better understands the rules more than anyone

Which has nothing to do with the question I have to ask. The taste of beans was updated TODAY and the Question I wanted to ask was about an update TODAY so regardless if it this is the last update of that Rom or not still doesn't invalidate my question. And for your information I do look through before asking anything and I did also look through incubus26jc thread and realize touchof beans is based on that rom. I may be a noob to XDA (although I signed up a while ago just generally used other android sites) but I'm not new to the rooting, hacking and flashing game. I'm just saying you guys act so Elite in here compared to other sites and it's a very unfriendly atmosphere. You are the proof.
I actually like the ten post rule. I think it should be 50
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
The rules are fantastic, I think it should be more than ten thanked posts personally.
The system works well to get you involved with all that's going on in our little neck of the site. I've enjoyed being active for the short time i have been and the process of being involved has answered most questions I would have posted prior as a complete noobs. If your just seeking answers and not participating there is no reason to even consider clogging the dev section.
It was cool to gain access to the dev area, but I have yet to post there. That's because I haven't needed to. Most things ARE covered in q&a.
Leave the devs alone, post your questions like everyone else and it will be answered.

Anyone here can be fair-minded and act as such.
You came here and unfortunately whined - I saw one of your earlier posts which had almost the exact same complaints at the time, responded to your post to explain that it's the common practice here and why, yet you never followed up.
Who is creating an unfriendly atmosphere?
You don't seem to be respecting the rules or even care to understand why they were written. We're all equal under such rules, except the Admins/Mods.

Well in the interest of stopping this thread before people start getting bana, no the voice and data it's not fixed and according to the incubus thread probably will not be until we see Verizon leaks (since beans is based off incubus).

i will play both devils advocate AND supporter of the rules here...
first i just signed up for an account today and tried to post a q in dev and got booted, so i am in q and a answering post to "prove myself" while i dont like the hassle i understand that someone (maybe alot of people) will come here and download a rom, not follow instructions, then try and flame hard working devs or post questions that have been answered over and over. this HAS to be annoying to other logn term members so i understand the ruels in place...
On the flip side i have been actively reading XDA for a while now, i just never posted questions or thanks... however on a post like the kellywiz rom (which is GREAT, using it now with a few reboots but nothing major) their are 187 pages of comments, do you really expect me to read through all pages to find an answer? i dont... i read the last 5 pages or so and if i dont see anything relevant to my issue i goto ask a question...
I see alot of repeat questions on here, not in separate threads (although i only read threads i am interested in) but multiple "useless" seeming coments to post that ask about a problem that was already answered a few pages ago, but the comment's poster asked again, and they have over 100 post to their credit, but they dont read through post either, so whats the actual difference?
i am not bucikng the system, i have belonged to many forums, but long time posters can be just as or more annoying then new posters...
Good response man. It's like starting a new job, no matter your skill set your gonna be treated as inferior. It's just important to follow the rules and not get mad. Strong thought out arguments should go far and set a precedence for the type of user you are.
