So I went to post in the development area and have been on the forums for a long time.. Just never posted.. And I am told I need to post 10 messages before I can answer a question someone asked in Development.. That makes no sense to me.. I have to post in a section that I have 0 interest in to be able to post in one that I do..
Could someone explain that to me?

It's to prevent from newcommers to post in Dev and cluter it.
Yea but I feel that should be based on time on account and not ammount of posts.. /shrug.. Guess I have to find random things to say.. YEA! to in general to make my quota so I can be helpful..
Yeah pretty much just have to jabber on till you hit 10. ***** about SamsungJohn, talk about tacos, etc.
@fluffster
Which rom are you on?
How long have you had your captivate?
Just 6 more post and you are on your way to helping others in the development threads.
Post your situation in the mod request thread in the forums root general. You have been here long before the noob rule, should have been grandfathered in. daveshaw or svetius or pulser_g2 will help. Zelendel would also be able to get you in touch with them. Send any of them a pm.

I'm also part of this new member minimum. I have been able to post before but had to change my account so now I'm stuck having to wait 10 posts before posting in the Dev section.
You started off well by posting your question here, but I see that the majority of you just want to 'ask a developer' something.
Questions do not belong in Development forums. Period.
Many of the site's Developers come into Q&A regularly specifically to answer your questions.
If your question is specific to a single device, ask it in the Q&A forum for that device, not in the Development section itself. You stand a much better chance of getting a proper answer (and not getting flamed) if you ask your questions in here.
You are welcome to post your questions in this thread, and I will provide whatever help I can, or point you in the right direction. There is so much information available here that there's a good chance your questions have been answered many times over already.
We all need to do our little bit to keep the material in Development sections clear and concise, regardless of what we see others doing
Cheers!

I think posts on threads count too. New threads are referred to as "Topics" on this site =S

I too think is kinda sucks to have to post 10x first but rules are rules. Been flashing for months now mainly Darky's but now switch about once a week.
I particularly enjoy this 10 post start up. It puts a pressure on people that don't belong to leave. I just bought a Skyrocket moving over to android from my iPhone 3GS and I've found this site incredibly efficient.
Its understandable don't want PPL running up the Dev sections with question anyway answered

That thing is weird...
I have an 8 post shortfall and want to contact a developer with what will be a common question, so I have to send a PM when a reply would be much more effective.
Suggested alternative:
- Restrict 'New topic' function to those with > 10 posts
- Allow thread starters to moderate their thread.
hi, i want to post in android apps&games, however, i will not have access to do it untill i've posted 10 posts.
i'd like to know that are replies counted into the above "posts"?

This 10 post thing seems pretty annoying
Yes, replies are counted in your post count. You don't have to start 10 threads to be able to post elsewhere.

Guys, not to be harsh, but did we really need to make yet another thread about the minimum post count?
The administrators and moderators on this forum placed the minimum post count to stop spam. If you really, really, really need access to a forum just pm a mod/admin - more than likely they will help you out of your pickle. Otherwise, just take some time and post around the forums you do have access to... just remember quality is always better than quantity.
Threads like this only encourage the minimum post count to be raised (considering the vast majority of posts are essentially trash).
this 10 post thing is really irritating
i wanted to post but for that minimum 10 posts are needed

That does suck.. theres 3...
It would be nice if devs could lift the restriction on a per-thread basis. I'm sure it's too complicated to implement.... but the OP of this thread now has a thread in the Apps forum asking for beta testers for his app.
However, since he wants the beta testers to reply to the thread in the Apps forum to sign up for the beta, it's a little frustrating to have to make 10 posts in order to reply in a thread like that.

why would we want to poke around a bunch of post that we have no interest in...
Just saying....
this is going to be the thread where people eliminate their post limits, or at least thats what i'm doing
i still think it's dumb how XDAD limits users until they have the 10 posts, and I wanted to post on a thread i have been following for a few months now.
Definitely not 10 threads!
Ridiculous rule. I mainly use other forums. When I do use XDA I can never reply because I have less than 10 posts. BUT because I can't post I get pissed and leave. Thanks to MDW, DF, and all the others for not having a stupid rule.

Yeah, so just dump 10 posts in this thread and be done with it. I understand why the rule is in place, but yeah, annoying

10 spam posts will be removed by the mods and your post counter reset.
Do something usefull with your posts.
How hard is it to answer some questions or chime in on a discussion? Visit your device's Q&A and General subforums and help some people out. If you can't do that, then you don't deserve to post in the other forums.
The rule is there for a reason. If you just want to say thanks or ask a question about a thread in Development, send the member a pm until you get your post count up. Or post your question in Q&A... after searching first.

You shouldnt say thanks in a post, thats what the THANKS button is for. To reduce spam of that kind.
Posting your Question in a device specific or general Q&A thread is generally the best idea.
Some devs don't like it if they get PMs with question "how do i", "why does not", "how come"...
But beforehand you should have worked the search button so hard, your girlfriend got jealous....
I noticed that I cannot reply in all threads when I logged in successfully. When i click reply, it show like below image.
Enter username & password again. That log in page shows again.
Help me to resolve that problem. Thanks.
====================================================================================================
I cannot reply so i edit my post.
@kriticar: Did you see my post count man? Thanks for your reply.
Well there is a rule that prevents new users to post directly to the developer's forums.
Idea is good, but if you are just a new user not a novice, it's a bit stupid.
Anyway, you have to post 10 posts to the general or q&a forums.
Probably you will end up asking some silly questions until you reach those 10 posts, but rules are rules.

Yes 10 posts so they can be sure you've done your fair share of reading the forums. A lot of redundant posts would be clogging up the blogs without the limit.
> I cannot reply so i edit my post.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but don't you have to have ten posts, before it will let you post to every forum/thread?

Hard but true, 10 posts to be allowed
You need to reply to at least ten posts here prior to being eligible to post in general population.
Great way to get everyone actively participating in threads.

Maybe you need to logoff / logon after 10 posts? Trying with a test account
Reply limit in DF
Hello. That reply limit to post in the developers section is pure crap.
An idiot can post 100 times with "hello" and then write anything in the developer's forums.
I was searching for an answer to my problem and I only found users with the same problem, asking for help.
I found the solution to their problem on my own (some ROM's are just missing Busybox, etc.), but I cannot post it there because of that rule. Since I'm not an active user of your forums, I guess you're not missing much with me )
Too bad for them. I won't bother to post ten times just to be able to help them.
+1 here )
Enjoy and rethink your rules. Cya.

Actually not, someone who posted "hello" would likely be spotted and reported fairly quickly long before 100 posts and have their posts deleted by one of the mods. The rules are in place to prevent spam for the most part, but it also tries to get people to become active and contributing community members in order to understand the types of posts that belong in the dev threads and which types of posts don't before they start asking all of their support questions there where they don't really belong.
There are lots of other forums out there, but none as good as XDA. Hopefully your attitude about being a community member will be improved if you come back. We will be right here.
