Been a member since 2009, but my account is restricted.
I couldn't edit the first post I made for 5 minutes. Any way to get that restriction lifted?
I couldn't find a other thread answering this question ( I blame tapatalk). So if asking this in the wrong thread I apologize.

Looks like you only have 2 posts. Once you make 10 posts in General and Q&A forums your restrictions will be removed by the mods
Cool thanks

I have in the last few months purchased a htc desire to replace my motorola dext (cliq).
With my previous phone I have plenty of modding experience (if anyone knows anything about the cliq they'll understand)
But due to the rules here I am unable to offer my advice and knowledge wih rom issues, of which there have been a few with desire roms.
If any mods read this, can you please remove the restrictions in place on my account, so I can participate actively in the htc desire development section, and be able to help out fellow modders.
Regards
Ryan

Running in to the same issue with Xoom.
I've been working on this for over a year but I can't post cuzz of the newb rulls.
As far as I'm concerned we're all here to learn from others and let others learn from ourselves.
This is the only android forum I've come across with this ridiculous rule in place, restricting the sharing of knowledge because I'm deemed too " inexperienced".
Just because I'm new too XDA obviously means I'm new too android as well. Its a joke.

Guys, it is so easy just post 10 postings (you can do that in an hour) and all restrictions are removed. It is easy as saying in a posting "i agree" or " wow, interesting" do 10 pointless postings and you are good to go
Thanks for the advice, but its not really the point.

It can take up to an hour for your privileges to change.

Don't make pointless and meaningless posts outside of Off-Topic.
Also, try to contribute
I am in the same boat wanted to post but I guess Ill need 9 more
interesting
interesting ;-)
the only posting limit before 10 posts is development areas. (about 1/6 of the forums)
if you are a developer, use you vast knowledge to help 10 people
if you have a question about something in development ask your question in Q&A
but search first. it is better to reply to a pre-existing thread than to start a new one!
(this thread case in point)
there is no reason to complain or spam post " i agree "
Interesting! (sorry, needed 1 more)

That rather highlights the foolishness of having a 10-post restriction. Just about anyone will look at this and go, okay, let's just post 10 worthless messages and get around the restriction. In the end it does nothing to promote a better quality of user while at the same time clogging up the general forums with messages that are a complete waste of time and disk space. Like this one.
10 post restriction
I agree totally!
9 more to go!
And now theres people wanting to change off-topic to also having the 10 post restriction? I dont get it

Loving this forum,
wow, interesting.... B-)
Is there a thread where n00bs like myself can post gratuitously until we get past the 10 post limit, so we can contribute to ""Development" threads?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
yes... questions and answers
Yeah, I feel dumb commenting on existing threads just for the sake of it so I can up my "posts" count.
I'll just use this one, only one more to go....
...until I hit that magic number! Of course now that I'm there I'll probably get banned!
One more for luck.
+ 1, on thieving lol

Am I supposed to get to ten posts when I don't have any questions, and I'm not allowed to post in the Dev forums.
I created this account for the sole purpose of giving feedback and helping people in android dev forums, and I can't do that until I have ten posts. *meh*
Got the same problem dude

How about answering some questions in here. Dev sections aren't meant for questions.
If I see some good ones I will. But I prefer to give answers I know about. I have one phone, and some experience with the HP touchpad. And I've installed only one rom on each. Those are what I feel I could help with best. Ah well, maybe in their general forums I'll see something useful for me to do.
Same problem right here :

I never really was a part of XDA, I joined 2 years ago but I never really put myself in here, I've spent the past week just reading all these shift threads and posts and I swear its just like facebook except without the drama, and now that I want to be a part of the XDA I can't, I need moderator approval or something? I can't quote posts, view certain parts of the site, need to captcha on a lot of things, how do I get "moderator approval"? Is it an XDA thing? Or something specific to the Shifts forums? I would like to be a part of the Shift "family" lol please help

It looks like you have only 4 posts so I think thats the issue. Xda puts limits in on new folks. As you post more you'll find grater access through the site.
Like entire threads or all posts like comments and stuff?

And sometimes I have a 5 minute posting limit, that says a moderator must approve of my account first, look

I posted a quote from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27147931 a minute ago but I don't see it now. Weird. Anyway this is a great thread and it has in it the restrictions on new users. You need to get up to 30 posts to have the restrictions lifted.
Thank you kindly for that and hey you said you were going to bed, this is valuable Sense 4 time xD

Interesting, I only knew of the ten post limitation to post in the development section... I don't ever remember having limitations, but that was two years ago... I didn't post anything till I knew what I was doing and could help others tho.

~~~Posting Questions~~~
There are some restrictions on your posting ability when you first start here. For your first 7 posts, there is
a captcha prompt and a time limit in between posts. This is mostly to stop spammers from posting garbage
throughout every thread. There is a 2 minute limit between posting and editing your posts. This stops at
30 posts when you go from Junior Member to Member, so read twice, post once.

We used to have topics discussing next phones to buy, ubuntu porting to this phone, monthly cm7 stuff, etc.
Someone moved them all to the questions forum because... They had question marks in the title?
There used to be at least a couple posts per topic a day in them, now nobody says anything.

Unfortunately moderation on xda has always been uneven and of variable quality.

This is due to the disproportionate amount of users to moderators. As new moderators are added so are more forums. The moderator system has just been overhauled and things are going to normalize.
The policy is that ALL threads that ask a question go in the Q&A. even if is about a ROM, app, theme or accessory.
If you feel that your thread was improperly moved, then just report it for a review.
