Hi, I know that the 10 posts restriction is necessary to keep new users from spamming and that's OK, but sometimes it isn't as useful. I have been an XDA user for more than a year now or event two, I'm not a developer so most of the times I have nothing to contribute, and I'm an experienced Android user so I don't usually have something to ask for, when I do post something or try to post is because there is a bug or some fix on some ROM that I'm using or that I know of, but I can't because most of the ROMs all in a development forums. My point is that it would be much better if XDA had a system which takes into consideration how many years have you been visiting the forums and if you are trying to reply in a thread instead of creating one.
I'm sure that a lot of users like me would appreciate it.
Please use search before posting duplicate comments and/or questions...
Several links about this already...here is one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/about-xda/10-post-minimum-to-post-develop-forum-t2842036
Alos, please read this guide to help you get started on XDA, and this guide as well regarding post counts and development as this information is for new/junior members such as yourself and should answer most, if not all, questions you may have.

My, but that is a nuisance, isn't it? I know it's meant to keep newbies from cluttering up the dev forums with inane questions, but some of us do have valuable things to contribute to those forums despite being new to this particular site. Anyway, I have the same problem, but it's probably just a matter of time until I hit that magic limit, as you apparently did a couple posts ago.
Yea, But im no where near a noob. I work for U.S.Cellular and Im not asking ?`s and giving what I know about things and helping people.
You have to post more than 10 replies, then you can reply to "Rom related posts".
let me check which is this post i am posting
same problem here
This is insanely annoying, I am sought of new to the forums but have been installing roms and tweaks to android.for years. I.read those forums and can contribute a lot of stuff but aren't able to post yet. there are not many non-developer forums that have many things worth posting about.

yep hopefully this works for me
I just find a general discussion, and add my 2c to it.
It adds up,
How about you all stop spamming and write something usefull...

Just write a PM to a mod, they will fix it.
can also bring with it a lot of spam so people hit the magic number......possibly like this post
The general situation is still acceptable since your case is rare.
$1 gets you a reply
I have the same problem ((
I also have the same problem, but I've read what the administrator of this forum said... "please do 10 posts to be able to post in other forums".
btw. this is post #9 for me, one more to go and I'm good to go.
Same here, only subscribed to thank the dev of the rom i'm using, but i can't thank his post untill i reach the number of 10 posts
I will post

this was right
Is 10 posts the magic limit?
I would like to be able to post to try to resolve some of my issues, but I'm also trying to answer questions in the meantime so.... whatever.
Well to add some sense to this:
I have the same problem, but I do have more then 10 posts.. This kinda bugs me since I'm pretty experienced and I have a question, which I can't post now..
EDIT
Allright for some reason now I can post. Ignore this post please, maybe I was a bit to impatient.

You need to fulfill the 10 post rule first. Most threads are development threads, therefore new members are not allowed to post until the 10 post minimum is met. This doesn't mean go and make 10 spam/junk/worthless posts either. Someone is always watching for this kind of behaviour.

to all members here, although we are newbies here, we are aware of the rules in this forum because i am also a member in some forums. i hope you will considerate us. we chose to be a member here because this forum has a lot of things that we needed and some answers for our questions. if that's the case that we need to post 10 or more than posts, then please allow us here to post. don't closed it first until we reach 10 posts.

Threads are only closed for irrelevant posts/spam. Make a worthwhile post and it won't be deleted/locked/removed. Pretty simple really. Everyone needs to bear in mind that this forum is intended for developers. Which 90% or better of you are not.
There are already plenty of threads that discuss this topic, so we don't need a new once (hence the closure).
One of my favourite reasons for the 10 post rule is that it encourages most users (the less spammy and needy ones) to spend more time reading than trying to post in development forums. If you do spend enough time reading you find that 99% of your questions have already been answered, and you learn a hell of a lot and start being able to answer questions yourself. That's a great way to take part in the community as a contributing member. In fairness, if you come here to leech and not participate then you're not adding anything to the forum.
Anyway, if you want more info then see the link in my signature about 10 posts - that should answer more questions
Hi there,
I'm starting this thread to tell about my frustration about the 10 messages policy currently in use in the development forums.
Since months, I installed several roms, kernels and mods on my phone and sometimes I have serious problems to report. Sometimes I also want to express my gratitude to the developers. But I can't ! Because it is not allowed to reply in these forums if I have less than 10 posts.
I have strictly no interest to post in forums that are not related to my phone. Thus, I don't think I can fulfill the 10 posts requirements.
So what should I do? Shall I post some dummy replies to topics that do not concern me, so that I can raise my post count to 10? That's probably what happens already with people who really want to post in development forums.
That said, I guess that the purpose of this policy is to limit the number of inexperienced users spamming the development threads. I don't know if that is really efficient, but I find it annoying at best.
I think that XDA should dump or revise this policy.
Just my two cents.
Ah, and sorry if my English is not correct, I'm French.
You can always help the users in their doubts in q&a and general section... Try helping the users... You won't even remember the count of your posts.
And about the gratitude part : there's a thanks button... You want to express your gratitude... Press the thanks button to the many ROMs you tried... No need to write useless thank you posts.
We all had to go through that, you'll manage too
I checked out the Q & A thread and tried to answer where I could, or in posts asking for an opinion or which rom/app we're on. If you've installed a few roms before I'm sure you can answer some of the questions here
Well, bro, I agree with you to some extent. The policy may be somewhat annoying to people concerned with development related works only. However the rules must be respected.
Well, if you want to report a problem, you can simply send a PM to the developer concerned. Developers are always ready to help you if a problem crops up despite following the instructions correctly. And I'm sure they do check their messages out frequently.
As for showing gratitude towards developers, you can simply press the THANKS button. It is way better than myriad posts just saying thanks.
You can also share your knowledge in other forums if you intend to increase your number of posts. BONUS: Reply here and increase a post
Your English ain't bad, by the way
Thread like this one is the reason it was made. Had you followed the rules and searched before posting then you would have found dozens of threads that say the same thing with the same reply.

Hi,
I installed Zelly Cream ROM by Gagan and have issues to report. But i'm not able to post my issues in his ROM thread because im not 10 posts old.:crying::crying:
Im sad for not being able to get assistance from the developer for the issues im experiencing. I also have some nice +ve feedback for Gagan.
Its no point in preventing a user of a ROM, Kernel & ..... to post their views.i think
can someone guide or redirect me to the correct thread.
Thnsk

===========================
thanks techpick,
I have read this post by admins and understood the restriction.
But, wt I thought is, as a user of Zellycream ROM, I should be able to post by feedback, issues etc regardless of the number of post i posted in XDA. initially thot of sending a message to the developer bt reaslised it may spam his messagebox.
I understand that this rule is to stop noobs and unwanted flooding of dev threads...but there are many posts in different threads by noobs n inappropriate comments, just because they are morethan 10 posts old.
I felt somehow its unfair to stop the users to post their views about their experineces.
now i have to post some or the other threads just to be >10 posts member.

The 10 post rule may seem unfair but it is set up to protect the best parts of xda...the development forums. It is really important that you try to make your first 10 posts count and not post 10 useless posts of spam. Here are a couple of guides: 10 post guide:

I know XDA has the 10 post rule, but I signed up to fix an issue with thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890199
The old XDA thread is the top result on Google for renaming Android apps. Thread was renewed by Ashish Mundhra, a writer for www.guidingtech.com, whom necromanced this old tool that is no longer being developed. Normally instead of all this backstory I would have just posted:
A tool that is up to date, works, doesn't need Windows, and is still being developed.

When Google points me to a sour, stale, or dead thread, I like to point that thread to the new information that works if/when a solution is found.
It's disappointing I can't do this directly but I understand, so can one of you do it? I think the spirit of a site like this is community help and support.
Why I don't think this new post is forum necromancy:
Forums are great sources of information so long as the content is on point and furthers the topic. Post's like "It doesn't work for me." I believe is necromancy. However, providing a solution using modern hardware or an alternative I believe is a great asset to forums.
What are other user's thoughts? Would someone be able to update this thread for me? If not, why?
Why not actively posting on the thread you think it needs to be updated ? Whoever reads the thread would eventually see your post I guess ...
Do you want someone to add your thoughts on the first post of that thread ?
Unfortunately xanthrax, as a new member I cannot post to developer forums. I would need assistance from another member to do what you suggest.

Hi !
That`s ok and due to not enough posts count.
All new members must reach 10 posts across the forum in order to be able to participate on the development section by helping around .
This will make them get accustomed to our website before jumping into the development section.
No problem. I've lurked years but only now created an account.
As to the purpose of this thread, my thoughts were that I could possibly gather relevant post replies while debating my own topic for 10 posts.
The 10 post rule is a good one. Not everyone has dialed into information via BBS and used the internet before it became popular for information, instead of popular for instant messaging.
Well you're almost there, welcome to XDA [emoji6]
