I have an Inspire 4G and lurk XDA Dev for everything that has to do with my Inspire.
Anyways, I already have a Spotify account but for some reason today I got another invite. If anyone wants it post here. First come first serve.

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.

SamsungJohn! Had almost forgotten about him
Just post in the OT forum and get to ten. Sheesh, the things people complain about.
Thread closed.
This is nothing new for a lot of us but since we got ics roms there have been a lot of noobs. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN THE DEV THREADS. There are q&a threads for every rom so post your questions there and don't post the same question over and over. The only reason to post in the dev thread is to report bugs. Don't take this the wrong way anyone but its getting out of hand and I thought it needed to be addressed.

A good rule of thumb is ask the question once. If a answer is not given within a day bump your question dont ask again.
If your not sure what bumping a post is I will explain. You quote your previous post that has the unanswered question. If more than one was asked then just edit out the answered questions. It would look something like this.
How come this rom is so awesome?

in the case of aokp dont talk about ponies seriously I saw the vibrant forums and the dev had to lock thread for talking about ponies:highfive:
These are all true. So I won't quote anyone specifically. I know in the last few days you've seen me post a bit, but there are weeks/months where I don't post at all. I'm not always watching the forum and have A LIFE TO LIVE (I'm sure you do to ).
A few of you guys are my ifriends and iassociates. And I like helping out, its in my nature. But as you see, I ask in my OPs that people follow a few of my own rules. And as you can tell, when my rules are broken I lock my threads. Because I don't need to walk away from my computer to go hang out with my daughter and come back to a thread full of off topic garbage that you guys could have been chatting on IRC or on PM.
It used to be in my signature, maybe I should add it again.
How to ask questions the smart way, by Eric S. Raymond and Rick Moen.
This document is your howto on using forums, mailing lists and IRC. I can be honest and say that I don't always follow that document and am sometimes making my own mistakes.
Anyways, I highly recommend that everyone reads that document all the way through at least once.
Enjoy...
I hope people are taking the time to read this, but I doubt it.

Because you clearly are not ready for XDA...
There is a script that checks every hour, its possible you have been missed for some reason, a simple PM to a Moderator or forum staff would have been a much better solution than creating this thread
I had to wait for my 12th post before it let me in the developer section
First Learn Some manners & atticates while writing any Thread. If you are ready then XDA isn't ready for accepting you.
Just check how you are reacting. You n00b.
If you have very useful things for Dev then PM them or Use General threads. Help someone who are in actually need then making this kinda thread.
Read Rules of XDA first then Post next time.
Simple you don't qualify...

I'm not a noob lol? I know basic things to android such as porting and things but it's a little frustrating. Besides I have waited a while and I have things to say. That the devs may like to know. But like I said it's frustrating when you can't even say anything. Also you are correct saying I'm a noob when it comes to xda. I've been plenty of other places. This thread wasn't meant to make anyone angry. All you guys have to do is simply ignore it. Easy as that.
I never meant to upset anyone.

Going to close this. OP if you can't post then feel free to PM one of us moderators and we will take a look at it.
Hey guys just starting up a thread to get my post count up so i can reply on the dev forms. This however is still something i am extremely excited and curious about. The SEIDIO OBEX!
A few questions. First, does anybody know an expected release date?
Second, had anybody had a previous version of the obex? Please give me the rundown, worth the money, does it work as it says, is it heavy and bulky. thanks for any information.
A little off topic but it's probably a bad idea to have your Gmail account as your user name. That is unless you love your email to be spammed. Just saying.
Isn't it already available on their website tho?

Crap i didnt even notice it did that. do you know how i can change to just a username not my email?
Last i checked they only had them for the S3 but i will have to go look now. Either way though do you have any experience with them? do they perform as well as they are supposed to?
These kind of threads clutter up the forum and make it difficult for searchers. The OBEX has already been released for a while now and there are at least 2 threads in this sub forum about it that include detailed reviews and videos. A simple search will bring up the threads for you or you can go to Seidio's website for more information.

Message a moderator. They'll forward it to the admin and they'll change it.

What happened to the days on forums when people would actually respond to a post you make rather than trying to prove that you put it in the wrong spot or should have searched. A forum is supposed to be a community, not a search index.
But like i said im just trying to spark up a discussion so i can get past my 10 post limit. If i was able to post on the forum i wanted it would have prevented this post from being made.
Either way i dont really want seidios opinion on it since they made the product. I was looking more for user experience and first hand opinions, not specs.

Did you even take a second to look at the threads I told you about?
And this is a DEVELOPMENT forum, not a social network, there are threads especially put aside (in the General section) for you to pad your post count. What happened to the days of people searching and following forum rules? But honestly, go ahead and ignore the links that I told you about (that you asked information about in the first place) and go ahead and post for no other reason than to add to your post count and clutter the sub forum with threads that already exist, I don't care. Good luck.

Actually it isn't letting me post on the DEV forums. thats why i am here. this is an accessory forum. If it was a dev forum it would not let me post here because my count isn't up. And i would have posted in the general section but i figured something about cases would go in the accessory section. I am not ignoring the threads your talking about (although you didn't link them) i know how to search and found them myself. I posted one thread to build my post count not 10 so relax. Clearly you do care cause you took the time to come into this thread and contribute nothing other than telling me I was wrong. If anything thanks for helping me get my count up.

What he meant is this entire website is for development. Not just the development section. I know you want to icrease you count but you could go in the off topic thread for that. One more thread here and there and over there add up quick and it makes it harder for people to find what they are looking for. But the case has been out for a few weeks now.

Seriously, the anti-spam stuff doesn't work. I had to spam to get my post count high enough to post with links to try to make a helpful post. Well, I answered questions where I could, but, as I am not the gatekeeper to all knowledge, couldn't answer all questions. I came on to check today, everything is deleted, even the helpful post, as I spammed. I was told to make helpful post. So, here's a helpful post. Fix the system. I did what xda encouraged me to do. Don't be a noob. Now, since I didn't post every stupid question, I couldn't post with links, had to spam.
So, now, if someone runs into the issue I had, that information is gone. I'm not rewriting it. I thought that xda was meant to be a storehouse of knowledge... It's kind of a strange oligarchy, though. I know xda won't listen, but, come on, make up your mind. If you want me to not be a noob and post pointlessly, don't make me post 10 things to link. I've been a member since April, observer before that, but I only posted once in the time. So, I was too new of a member.
Also, I may be banned soon, as I told a moderator to bugger off. Cheers!
Edit: Just wanted to say I told him to bugger off as a joke partially and frustration partially. And, if I'm banned I understand. It's not the way to behave.
Sir I wont ban you for this, really you should just try and be useful vice posting in this manner. As I have outlined in your PM, to which I got your reply.
Now there are plenty of providing needed in the Q&A of any forum within XDA. Thank you Sir and thread closed, as we dont provide to rants....
