Why do I have to create 10 dummy posts, before I post really?

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.

I could consider this two of the 10, but this is just creating a mess in the CMS for this site.

OK, I'll bite. Thanks for the opportunity to boost my post count so I too can be helpful someday.

Once I have ten, everything should be great.

Me too, waiting for 10...

I've been here years, and I still haven't made 10

How do you even change the time on this?
It says 1-29pm, its 10-25pm right now in california

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.

Sweet, thank you

this rule is really disturbing...
Most of my questions are related to AmericanAndroid, but I can't post them there... until I reach the 10 posts limit... Maybe we can use this thread to upgrade our posts limit...

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?

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

In the upper right hand corner, there's a "SEARCH BAR", you simply type in keywords to your issues and it will bring up posts with relevant topics. We would all love to hold your hands here, but that wouldn't allow for you to use them for typing into that search bar, now would it?

See if you can finish this old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, ______________"
There's already enough work to be done around here, aside from doing everyone's searching for them. I'm not trying to be a prick, but you have to help yourself until you have exhausted all possible avenues of help, before enlisting our help. Not trying is unacceptable, not trying as much as possible is equally so.
Edit: Jim found the thread in less than ten seconds, no reason that couldn't have been done instead of us wasting our time (and yours) in a new thread...

Question/Request for Posting rights?

So I hit 10 posts and I still can't make a post in the developer section for my phone. I'm assuming an administrator needs to look at my account? (I would assume the forums generally remove the restriction after 10 posts?)
I'd like to put this in the correct spot as it doesn't really belong in general... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894226

I have the exact same problem, I am getting some major bugs/errors flashing a devs ROM, and I can't give them any feedback in the forums even though I am over Ten posts, I gotta do it through email, don't know why it doesn't work, maybe it is an automated task every week or something like that.

Wait one hour after your tenth post for the database to update.

That is like telling a kid he has to wait an hour after taking the first bite of a candy bar to finish the rest.
oh well, I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow to do it.

The script that removes the restriction runs once every hour..
So the probability of you waiting an exact 59 mins 59 secs before you get promoted is 1/3599...

True true...

The pointless threads will never end. And questions in General will never end. You would thinking checking Yes to "Is this a question?" and seeing the [Q] appear in the title would light a bulb in their heads telling them they should be posting in Q&A. But then again, you would also think that checkbox would automatically post it in Q&A.

Yea I don't doubt that the list is very long. Thanks for requesting it, though! Next thing needed is a report button on the app. I know it used to be there, but I can't remember if it was the xda app, the tapatalk app, or both. But now neither seem to have it. And I don't know who that request would go to, either xda or tapatalk.

It's got 32gb standard and a expandable sd card alot 5.5 inch 1080p screen and a 3140 milliamp battery that's removable. It's also just 200 at att

Look, this is an apology to everyone about a post I submitted yesterday, but I am NOT sorry for what I was trying to say, I login to get information on different things, and in order to even get where you want to go, you have to sift thru the same stuff over and over, like today, 5 threads started with the same info I saw on tech news sites everywhere, so the google phone is going to be released, what in the heck does it have to be here, in this forum in 5 threads, I am looking for fixes not tech news. Again, an apology was in order. This post is to all that are here for the same purpose I am, to try different things out on our phones, can't we at least stay on that subject?
Lets move on please.

I know, I saw where you were trying to politely say that..Pretty soon, it is going to be full of this type stuff, but on another note, I think what is happening is everyone is getting in a hurry to do something with this device, and there is nothing more than root for 1st timers. And there will be alot of them, coming very soon, and the search option can be at times for new people a nightmare. We are going to be in trouble, or the moderators are going to be super busy with the volume that is fixing to flood this site.

That was removed because the report system was changed. But on the XDA App tap the message, hit more, hit open in Browser and you can then hit the triangle to report a post.

When you see redundant threads please report it and in the report link to the first or in the redundant thread to make it easier to close and redirect these useless threads.
Thanks guys :good:

You will have less to worry about because there will only be 10 people there to follow the rules.
The real reason that there are useless threads is because there are so many people checking in here. Most aren't your normal XDA member. Most just bought the phone and want to hang out somewhere to talk about it. They have no idea that the phone black clips, lags, or has a locked bootloader. They read threads, find problems that they weren't aware of and then ask questions.
These people also keep the numbers up and view the advertising that XDA needs to survive. So its not all one sided.

Your entire response is the EXACT reason why there is a search button so every single topic does not require a thread. It keeps the forum cleaner and straight forward. If you wanna know any news or need to find out, go check Dan's twitter.
You obviously need refreshed on the forum rules and how a development community works...

I hear you, I can see where you're coming from. But here's the thing. You have two choices as far as interacting on the forum:
1. You follow the important threads constantly, so you know what information is out there, and what is not. Then when you find some news, you can post about it in the related thread that's already there. If the news is huge and unrelated, you can start a new thread.
2. You follow casually, reading the latest pages of the top threads every couple of days. In this case, you can never be sure you have the latest information, and the unwritten rule is that you waive your right to post new threads about news.
Everyone else: Lay off, alright? He's been told off, and he was immediately repentant. That's enough.

I hear you, I can see where you're coming from. But here's the thing. You have two choices as far as interacting on the forum:
1. You follow the important threads constantly, so you know what information is out there, and what is not. Then when you find some news, you can post about it in the related thread that's already there. If the news is huge and unrelated, you can start a new thread.
2. You follow casually, reading the latest pages of the top threads every couple of days. In this case, you can never be sure you have the latest information, and the unwritten rule is that you waive your right to post new threads about news.
Everyone else: Lay off, alright? He's been told off, and he was immediately repentant. That's enough.
