Zelendel has been doing an awesome job keeping this place clean of noobs posting questions without searching in the general sub. 12 hours without him and this place looks like crap. Stop it. You are not special. You are a noob who needs to watch the noob video again by azrionoch. Search, follow the rules, post in the correct forum.
And to all the people who actually answer the questions, stop it. You are just as bad. You are an enabler. To the people who get mad at the members who point out that a thread was made without searching and/or posted in the wrong section, stop it. You are the worst. Not only do you not care about keeping this place clean, but you are perfectly fine with it getting messier.
Guys, just keep the forums clean. It makes this place nicer, keeps the mods happier, keeps members happier with the new rp system, and the keeps the devs happier.
I'm all for keeping this place clean but you need to understand that not all people are capable of following simple rules. Topics will continue to be created in the wrong forum regardless of how many "you're doing it wrong" speeches you type up (which, ironically, create clutter themselves). Let the mod do his job and keep your mouth shut if you have nothing helpful to say.

Good words from a member whose only contribution to the forum was a question thread about wallpaper in of all places, the captivate general sub section. Thank you.

Lol... I try not to enable too much, but it is annoying sometimes especially with the "what is the best rom" threads and the "i can't follow instructions so hold my hand and spoon feed me" threads

I reported it to our Mod a little earlier.
Yes we are strict, we have to be in order to keep XDA running.
I am closing this thread down, continue this discussion in this thread pls.
Do not flame or attack other users, consider this a warning, a friendly message should be enough in most cases. If you see anyone not doing so, please report his post and let me deal with it.
Thanks.

yes i also want to ask question on development forum.
Because of selfish people posting stuff like: "yo, I didnt read the guide or the faq lol so plz post a one-click exe so dat i can install the hackz0rz on my phone thx."
Personally, I don't think this 10 post limit is that effective. However, it might deter the worst offenders...
XDA has rules like this in place for a reason and if you don't like them, it's tough really. The rules won't simply change because a few people moan about them.
So you want to post in the development forums? Either it's going to be a question which belongs in Q&A, you saying "Thanks" for a ROM, or being genuine and reporting an issue with a certain ROM etc.
Now, if it belongs in Q&A, keep it in Q&A. If you just want to say 'thanks', there's a button for that. And if you want to report a problem, bug etc. then either the dev already knows about it because of someone else reporting it, OR it's something that can wait until you've made 10 helpful posts. (If it was something too major, the dev would already know about it)
Is it really so hard for you to make 10 constructive posts? The answer to that is no.
The best way to do that is to answer other people's problems and queries in the General and Q&A forums for your device. Now that's really not hard to do.
And, on a final note, as you'll notice here, if you stay around for long enough and help others out, it's only the people who have around 10 posts who moan about the rule. People who have passed this restriction don't keep *****ing about it or anything like that. They simply say, while it may not have been ideal, we'll do as instructed and stick to the rules so we can truly enjoy our time as part of this vibrant community.

What he said, the rules are in place to stop normal users posting no dev stuff in the development section.
this is a rule, follow the rules and try to help.... and read a lot! learn a lot! and then help a lot!
I have often solutions for some problems, but i can't post in development. It's stupid (10 posts)
You can do another restrictions for spammers etc.

If the rule was considered "stupid" then it wouldn't be in place. It's in place in an attempt to cut down on the spam and useless crap which goes into the development forums. There's no 100% way of stopping spam but at least this aides the solution.

People still post ALOT that shouldnt be in the dev, but this is one way to slow it down
To many people post questions in the dev forum and so it had to be done
I think it's a good idea... personally i entered here to find answers to some questions about my phone (a Huawei U8180), but every single question that i had has already been answered... and i don't flood a thread with my silly questions... so... i think this method is good.

Let's be honest, making ten posts really isn't hard.
Unfortunately a lot of people seem to get their ten posts by complaining that they have to get ten posts in the first place.

All your posts up to now are useless, and doesn't contribute to the forums at all. Mostly just a few words answering the, what is your first phone, forum or something like that.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda app-developers app
First of all, wrong section for this type of topic. Secondly, this rule is in place for a number of good reasons and likely will remain, so complaining isn't go to get anyone anywhere. Finally, cheap attempts to increase one's post count beyond 10 (ie. spam) will result in those posts being deleted and a warning being issued. Thread closed.
That is way some good devs left to other android forums. Like in any business growing big (from old times with 10 device forums, to the present, with "n"), the rules multiply, more & more restrictions, the anchor in real life is smaller with every day, and the thing that devs are humans with daily problems & mind lapsus for some links and minor stuff won't matter for some. Have a nice day.

And now watch XDA close this thread. Rules are rules my friend, even if it was a simple mistake by seb, rules still apply. If there was no rules and everyone did as the pleased then there would be no XDA. The mods aint trying to be horrible or mean but if they dont stick by they're own rules then what chance has this site got. Thats just my opinion.
i don't care if this thread will be closed. as user of this site = the person who make traffic, who read topics and forums, and finally, i can say i'm the final consumer of this site ( you could name me client), i'm pissed off because that thread is closed, so i cannot find answers to my problems with the software provided by that thread. in legal terms, my rights are restricted here! i'm not talking about the developer, i'm talking about me, final consumer of this site, i'm the person on behalf this site, and without me as consumer, this site would not exist! SO, THIS IS ABOUT MY RIGHTS HERE! I HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT ONE SOFTWARE, AND I CANNOT BECAUSE SOMEBODY RESTRICTED MY RIGHT TO ACCESS THAT. => XDA UNLOCK THE THREAD, BECAUSE YOU AFFECT THE PEOPLE WICH GIVE A REASON FOR YOU TO EXIST! Have a nice day.
Chill man, mods are just doing their job and there's been a q&a thread dedicated to Sebastian's ROM in the q&a section so you can ask anything you want there

i know its not the original thread, but if uv a question then u can ask there. im not missing the point, the simple fact is rules r rules and us as users have to stick to them, the rules r the same if ur just an average user of xda or dev and if u dont stick to them then this is what happens. ur making a big deal over nothing, the thread will be open soon so just relax. i wasnt actually calling u a boy, its just where im from they use the word boy alot, like "alright boy hows things"? personally i dont care if ur 10 or 50
also u could have a read at this coz im guessing u havnt
[MANDATORY] RULES FOR DEVELOPMENT
Seb left? I don't get what you guys are arguing over, and I don't actually know what happened. But I do feel what OP about treating developers, because at end of the day, we, users of this site are being affected. I am not saying don't have rules, I am saying judge on the situation. Someone trolling is not the same as a good dev making a mistake. Even a big mistake, he/she should be given a chance due to the commitment they have put into this site and joy brought to fans in the past. Rules are important, but when people forget what rules are intended for then why do we even have them in the first place? If more and more dev leaves this site, the rules will be useless because no one will be using it. Like I said, I am not defending Seb because I don't even know what he did, instead just making a point. We have yet another good dev left sensation...
Problem solved. This tread could be closed.

Pointless rants are not required, i suggest you dont comment on matters you know nothing about.
This forum is about developers, for developers. Its not for people to have a general moan. Dont like it? try somewhere else.
I don't understand that why people are hungry for likes in ace plus forum I have use HTC one v and looked in all the threads but I didn't find anyone begging for thanks
I am new to forum as I created account 2-3 weeks ago but still i guess we should help each other without the need of thanks!
am i right guys?

Yes there are some who want to have Thanks meter like devs.
Those are actually thanksicks
ALSO FORGOT Welcome to our forum .You'll meet spammers ,thanksicks,requesters,beggers here .
But placing threads on appropriate sub-forum is better as this may be considered a General Sub- Forum not Q&A Sub-Forum.
Just to remind you :
Never ask a dev for something
Never ask ETA (estimated time pf arrival)
Never spam forums/threads
Write clearly instead of u-you ,2-to
And post threads to appropriate sub-Forums .
Best regards for you .

true that !!
Unfortunately OP, you have hit the nail right on the head.
There's 9000 levels of wrong all across the fora, and its not just this one I'm talking about. Thanks whoring, begging for donations, colorful developement threads which look more like a 5 year olds crayon book, screenshot layouts which focus on everything except the screenshot, huge signatures which are bigger than the posts that the bearing members do, members reserving posts for reasons which sane people have never understood; oh I could go on and on and on...
At the end of the day, they fail to realize all of ^this^ is rather pointless. We are, after all, part of an educated society. The forum is considered as one of the more technically oriented forums on the Internet. Yet you see people joining here for all the wrong reasons, acting in all the wrong ways.
One can not ban everyone, so instead we rely on common sense to prevail and use it as a measuring tool. We end up hoping that people see the pointlesness of all such activities. That they realize, what we do is because we love to do it, and not because we want virtual thanks, popularity or someone else's money.
If they don't like what they are doing, they shouldn't be doing it at all.
