Forum newbie rules!

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.

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

I would suggest you review the forum rules and the GPL before questioning the actions of XDA moderators. They do what they do for reasons. This is not a free software hub. This is a development hub and certain rules do apply.

Is that so? Sorry if whimsical things such as the GPL and the fairly rational rules and standards of XDA get in your way of just using any software you feel like, any way you feel like. Nobody made you become a member. In fact, if you think the GPL is not worth abiding by or being respected, you should just trade in your Android device and get a BlackBerry. Am I really the only one that thinks the GPL and XDA rules make some sense?

The only site the moderators here are concerned with is xda. If you don't like xda then you are free to go any time you please. Oh and thread closed...

?

are there any roms better then others for gaming?

Sir, Post your questions in the Q&A section. This has been moved. Thank You.

Joe,
I apologise, but I felt that pointing the OP to the video was valid. He has clearly not watched it or read the rules of XDA;-
Hasn't searched the forums
Posted a thread with no helpful subject matter
Hasn't posted in his device forums
Threads about "Which ROM is best" always get closed due to the subjective nature of the answers

Lol that movies just shows you its pretty common sense using a forum like this haha, if you don't have common sense don't waste the developers time on xda.forums

No best ROM threads are allowed sonny....
If you think that's simple then tell me, what would make one ROM better for gaming than another? There probably isn't an answer for that tbh, since most game tweaks are mods that you can apply yourself without switching ROMs

Ah. The newer development forums seem to lock you out until 10 posts past.
You'll get in there after 10 posts. I don't think a mod will close this thread :/

Do you have an S3 or the Blaze? If you have a Blaze, then you're all good posting in our Forum and I apologize for the vitriol. If you have the S3, then we're saying go there and quit using our forum to raise your numbers. Jeezus, it's not that complicated...

I shouldn't be answering this question as you can see I did not provoke this attack from you guys, I initially took the whole thing as a joke until I saw the response from Thomas Raines which changed my whole perception.
I've been here longer than what my profile suggest just that I don't post as often as I would like to and secondly I lost my original login profile, I would like to think that that is not the reason you guys jumped on me because of the low count that I show on my profile which is wrong since I did not provoke or antagonize anyone here.

In my OP I was merely asking because the issue I'm having with Blaze is with one of the radios that is based off of S3 and I wanted to post about the problem, but I couldn't and since the Blaze forum is the only one i can post at, that is the reason why I decided to ask the question in the general forum which I thought should not have been an issue. I just wished you guys would have asked me first before jumping on me, but I do see the misunderstanding and I accept your apologies.

It wasn't a profile thing, I don't even look at post count. I honestly thought you were an S3 owner trolling the Blaze forum to up your count. I'm glad you accept my apology, because honestly, there's not many of us Blaze owners left!
On the radio issue. I didn't know there was an S3 radio that's compatible with the Blaze. Have you tried all the Blaze and S2 radios?

Which to us in the Blaze forum, insinuates you are the owner of an S3 and not a Blaze. Because we have had issues of new users NOT reading the rules and trolling our threads, as well as many others, to "get their numbers up", we had much reason to believe that is in fact what you were trying to accomplish. Your question told us nothing that was related to the Blaze or the exhilarate (a device in which is covered in this forum as well). In addidtion, I have been a member of XDA for quite a long time, and the rule of 10 post minimum has been there since before I came along. With all these parameters in place, I think you can see why we were all a little upset that you had posted in our forums. As we can see now, however, you do have a Blaze and I apologize for our attacks on you. Please be aware that we will help all those that come correct. So, for future reference, please post your issue and device as well so there is no confusion.
I also did not ask the mods to delete you, rather than point you in the right direction. I don't ask that anyone be banned, rather than reprimanded, educated and point in the right direction...

Why members in xda ignore hard questions

I find no help to the ones who are really want it and everyone answers to simple questions like which should be my next phone?

What Arnau said plus many times people don't want to look stupid on forums with as much brainpower and expertise as on the XDA forum. Some of the most brilliant people hang out here and obviously if you don't know what you're talking about, to try and bluff your way through may work on some forums, but not here.
As you visit more often, look for some of the gurus, follow their threads, Thank Them and if they help you, contribute. That might really help you get the answers you need. Good luck.

XDA is not a support site, it is a site for and about developers and development, soooo, I suggest, if you are in fact looking for support, use search here, or go elsewhere.
Meanwhile, development still occurs here at XDA.
