(Applications)​
The Moderator Committee have revised the system for appointing Moderators.
1. It will no longer be possible to apply to become a Moderator directly and the Application process will remain closed (except in rare circumstances where we have an urgent need to recruit a group of new Moderators.)
2. Future Moderators will be recruited via recommendations from existing Forum and Senior level Moderators.
3. Those holding the Recognized Contributor title will be the main source of future Moderators.
4. Holding the Recognized Contributor title will be an initial indication that a person can be considered as a Moderator, but there is no automatic progression to Moderator and only a few will be given promotion throughout the year.
A list of currentForums and Moderators can be found here

If you read the rules of XDA you would find out what constitutes a 'Senior Member' - and it is not simply joining up then not actively contributing to the forum.

Different problem. You DO NOT need to post in the Development forum just to ask a question (use the device Q&A forum) or say 'Thanks' (Use the button provided. Reported
you have to have 100+ posts to do this.
You have 50, which means you can't be one.

[Completed] Sicksky discussion is banned?

So by closing my thread are you saying users at XDA are banned from discussing their issues of the Sicksky app just because the developer doesn't want to be involved in discussions?
I think that is wrong...
Hi
No that isn't what I'm saying, you misunderstood me, sir. I was simply saying that the developer has chosen not to host a place to discuss his app. You're more than welcome to create a thread if you'd like a place to discuss the app, but XDA Assist isn't the place for it.
Let me confirm with my colleagues exactly where you can place your thread, I'll get back to you asap.
Thanks.
EDIT: Please see reply below.

The Thread you mentioned is closed as per the OP request. As seen here
If you have questions you can PM the OP and or the Moderator that closed the thread.
Now this is not the place to ask or discuss this matter, so this thread is now Closed.

Black shark 5 pro

Hello
I am in the wrong category because it does not exist
I am looking for a way to root my black shark 5 pro is it possible?
Hi. I am also interested. I have a Black Shark 5. This category, also, does not exist.
yes, where is the Black Shark 5/ Pro Section?
XDA's forums are usually way ahead of any device release.

And it is sufficient if you only create one post instead of three; I've merged two of your posts here and deleted the third one. Please review the XDA Forum Rules with special emphasis on rule no. 5 and post only ONCE.
As a side information for you, device fora are not create by moderators but by the forum administrator in close coordination with the website owners. Usually it requires that some development threads have already been created for a device or at least some how-to or tutorial threads. My XDA search didn't show any for the Black Shark 5 Pro.

Hi. Would a new new device page be able to include both the 5 pro and the 5 (also possible 5 rs)?
Thank you

Hello and good afternoon, @canezila
Sorry, I'm unable to answer your question. Moderator do not and cannot create device fora. These are created by the forum administrators in close coordination with the website owners, and I've no insight into the established criteria. However; I believe to have observed that the availability of some already created devlopment threads (i.e. ROM's, kernel, recoveries etc.) and/or some guides, how-to's or tutorials is helpful to trigger the decision that a device forum is requested.
If I correctly remember, a forum for this device has already been requested here:
*** New Device Forum Requests ***
Please post all your requests here. The forum admins choose new device forums carefully, based on several factors. There's no guarantee your device will have a forum created here, but feel free to posts your requests in this thread :) Please do...

Sad to say it might not have its own section. You're caught by the company's marketing strategy and social media hype on buying the phone. But since Blackshark 1, they never released the kernel sources (all lies). Reason why its hard to unlocked, root, make (much better) custom rom for their phones. You're pretty much stucked on official firmware and you need to wait for 1-2 years before they release update just to fix bugs. BLACKSHARK PHONES ARE TRASH. many who bought BS1,2,3 knew and learned that from their experience to stay away from Blackshark phones if you want your money's worth

I've edited your post and deleted its content. Additionally, I deleted some of your posts.
Regarding social media links please observe that as an exemption from the last bullet of rule no. 5 of the XDA Forum Rules, we grant only developers the privilege to share references to their social media in their own development threads and if thorough support is provided in the thread. These conditions obviously don't apply to your threads, posts or you. Additional information is also available here:
Telegram Chat Channels - Way Forward
WhatsApp/Telegram Groups and Channels - Going Forward Hello XDA family! Just notifying all members that posting certain links to Telegram and other sites like WhatsApp is now allowed on XDA. What does that mean? We will allow links to messages...

Please refrain for sharing of social media references unless within your own development threads!
Thanks for your future cooperation.

What does "reserved" mean

I keep seeing it on every rom thread but yet to find out what it means.

The Original Poster (also abbreviated as OP) of a ROM thread very often additionally creates posts no. 2 and/or no. 3 immediately after he created his ROM thread i.e. after the creation of the thread's first post (that is also known as the Opening Post, which is also abbreviated as OP).
If the OP hasn't yet a content for the posts #2 or #3, then he enters "reserved" meaning these posts are reserved for his future use that e.g. could be to add changelogs in post #2 if new versions of a ROM are released.
I hope I was able to sufficiently answer you're question.
By the way, a remark: We only allow developers to reserve posts in their own development thread, and nobody else. This means if you pass by "reserved posts" that don't comply with this condition, please report such a post via the report function. Thanks for your cooperation.

As far as I know, you can only edit a thread, not delete it. You could try reporting your thread's original post and ask if they can delete the thread.

@coockedcow Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.
A user is not able to delete a thread or a post; you can only edit your posts. Likewise you are not able to close/lock a thread, this also requires a moderator. If you like one of your posts deleted or one of your threads close, please notify the moderators team via the report function. I've by the way moved this thread from forum "Samsung Galaxy A51 Guides, News, & Discussion" as your thread was not related to that device.
Please be also aware that we generally don't delete threads but only close them in order to avoid HTTP 404 errors after search engines have indexed XDA. Such errors provide a poor user experience that we want to avoid. The only exceptions to this rule are spams and duplicate threads; however, latter ones only immediately after they were created.
You might find much more useful information in this excellent guide by our RC @sd_shadow:
