Team,
While I certainly understand your position of attempting to eliminate frivolous posts by enforcing your ten posts rule, I would ask that you understand a few items:
1) Not every one of your users are 25 years old and can easily read a Captcha image. I happen to be a very healthy and spry 61 years old, but my eyes are not what they use to be, and I literally have to go through several (many times ten or more) Captcha images before I can get one that I can read.
2) There are always alternatives to the ten post rule - especially for very experienced users such as myself who have limited time and find it troublesome to abide by this.
3) While I certainly can provide "useful" information, at this point in my life with a home, a family and many obligations, I would ask your advice on the quickest method to reach this ten post plateau without being redundant or unnecessary in my posts.
As a former field tech, and subsequently a Systems Engineer at Telcordia Technologies I certainly can be of use to your forums - I am simply asking that you understand the point of view of an individual who is older and has limited time on his hands.
Thanks.
Which 10 post rule are you talking about?
Looking over your past posts it looks like there seems to be an idea that you have to have 10 posts to download something.
The 10 post rule is that you cannot post in development sections until you have 10 posts, but you can download anything on this site any time you want.
In fact, you don't even have to be registered on this site to view or download stuff.
Can you provide a link that you are unable to download something here?
Here is the link and reply

That post link gives me a 404 error, but note that a couple of your duplicate threads asking for a Flyer RUU were deleted (you cannot post the same thread multiple times here, that is spamming)
I understand your post.
The italics you showed is what you get when trying to post something, not clicking on a download link.
Can you please post a thread or download link you cannot access or download?
Otherwise I don't see the problem.

You are correct - that link is no good and has been deleted (according to moderator stamatis).
The issue is, when I search again and try other links in posts that are trying to assist with solving this RUU issue, I am still getting the following:

I am not sure why you guys are unaware of this message, as it is coming directly from your site?
Thanks for your help, I'll keep trying to find my RUU file.

Actually you are pasting the link wrong.

If this is the link, you probably don't have access to it, as it is deleted.
So you are not trying to download something but to find the thread in order to download it, right?
Just trying to find a good thread

Ok, then it isn't a forum problem and there is no post count restriction for download anything.
The problem is that the thread that you got the link from hasn't been updated to link somewhere else.
I hope that you will find the file you are looking for, keep searching.
I am not a fan of the 10 post rule either. I need to report a bug to a dev for a rom that I am testing but can't until I post 10 meaningless articles. I have been using this site for information for quite a while now but have never had the need to post until now. The catch... I first have to rack up the 10 posts. 10 meaningless to be able to post 1 meaningful.

You don't have enough posts to post in the dev sections. For the posters above you. Go to the dev section you want to post in. You can find the moderator of that section if you scroll down to the bottom. Right under where the page numbers are.
how are you supposed to have enough posts in the dev section if you cant post in the dev section?!
Build up your posts in other sections. Then when you have enough posts go back to the dev section you want to post in and make your post.
i did, the text calls for 10 or more posts in other sections, i have 12 in epic 4g q&a, and in general discusion q&a... and i still cant post in dev!!!
Sorry I didn't realize what your post count was. I would send the moderator of that section a pm and ask.
I just want to talk and ask questions about a rom I am using but I have to post 10 post to talk?...

You DO NOT need to post in the Dev forum just to talk about a ROM. There is a perfectly adequate General forum and a Q&A forum which you can use.
Believe it or not, XDA was not created for you. It is a Development site for mobile phones and the Development forums are there for discussion of Development, bug fixes etc - not for you to say "Thanks" or to ask pointless questions that just clog up the thread and stop people from finding genuine information when they need to.
Reported.
As far as your thoughts for the 10 post rule:

Its not a massive restriction and to provide 10 useful/helpful posts is not hard.
