dont post the same question multiple times in different areas, its called cross posting, and is not allowed.

its fine if you posted in some other area by mistake, but you posted here, and in the noob thread here, thats not necessary or allowed.
no worries.

OK. I'm confused. I was told to post my questions on Q&A. Isn't this Q&A?

yes it is, but you also posted it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257421 which is also q & a, a sticky at the top of this forum. that was my point, you post 2 times in q & a, once here in your own thread, and once in the noob thread i quoted.
i only know you posted in the noob q & a thread, because i replied to you there.
im sure no one in the noob thread told you to post in q & a, because its in q & a.

ok, to explain better, i went at looked at your posts.
in xda assist, they told you to ask in the thread i quoted before, which you did. then, when no one answered you in 20 minutes, you posted it again here, in this thread.
thats the problem, you need to only ask your question once per relevant forum, or as directed by higher members. you cant go to that forum and keep asking in short order when no one answers you right away.
make sense now?

5. Create a thread or post a message only once.
As a large forum, we don't need unnecessary clutter. You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer, revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time so it might take a while before you receive an answer. (Also refer to Rule 16)
We don't allow any discussion as it relates to changing IMEI, therefore, this thread is closed.

Its probably because you need 10 posts. Or you need to activate an email.
I think it's stupid. I just wish to ask a simple question on the correct thread, but no. I have to get 10 posts.
Yep. I believe you have to post 10 threads. It's not so convenient for newbie like me trying to ask a question under the right thread.

[Q] Problem with a thread

Hi guys,
I cant post in a thread i wanted to post in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
because i didn't write 10 post yet.
I simply wanted to say that i need a branded firmware for my phone.
Would be nice if someone of you guys could just post the needed information.
I don't wanna spam 10 post just so i can make one usefull post

Thanks
germany huh? pretty sure you can get t mobile out there brotha... grap yourself an htc inspire
Nah, i already got a Samsung Galaxy S2. I want to root it, but i cant get warranty anymore if i cant set it back to a branded firmware from base. So in wanted to post in that thread my information, but i cant cause i need 10 post first and i didnt want to spam.
Well, you need to post somewhere, no?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
You can pm the OP, if that's who you need to request the firmware from. If it's from the community, let me know and I'll post it for you.
If you don't want to spam but want more posts, go to the Android Q&A or your device's Q&A subforums and answer any questions you might know the answer to. You can also join in on any discussions in the General subforums. You can post anywhere but Development and the Marketplace (I think anyway), so I'm sure you can find something useful to say somewhere.

For a novice post to the general or q&a forums.
Have you tried using the search functionality? It's likely others have experienced the same problem as you and the question has already been answered somewhere

ok. I understood. many many thanks for all who repply this post.. !!!
Welcome
Just so you know, questions ARE NOT meant to go into the development threads. Those are for bug reports only..NOT QUESTIONS. This is part of the reasoning behind needing 10 posts. It is in the hopes that you will learn these things first. There is a Q&A forum for questions.

Mr. I understand what you mean... maybe Iam write the wrong words.. its not a question what I need to do, its a bug on that room what I installed on my samsung skyrocket... and because have that bug on my phone I need to put a repply so maybe the room developer fix that bug.... however.. thanks for your repply . . .
Was wondering the same question too..
Heya
mee too.
Mods need to close this thread, else it will become another one of those "I want 10 posts, so I'll get them from here" threads...
So just posting in the general section is how you get to the 10 post limit. Is what I understand.

Questions are not posted in the development sub sections of specific device's forums. They are posted in the Q&A sections.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
See here.....this is a view of all the sub sections for the SkyRocket. Ask questions in Q&A.

Am I confused???

Or should any questions regarding specific ROMs be asked in the ROM thread???
No, if you have a QUESTION on anything, post it in the Q&A section.

Okay, for instance it's a problem with a specific ROM only the developer can answer... or maybe has been experienced by other users of the same ROM... The developer and every other user of the ROM is looking at it's original thread.... not the Q&A forum.... You might get an answer in this forum but you're more likely to get an answer in the ROM's original thread...Am I wrong????(Again another rhetorical question)
You are correct if you have any questions regarding a specific ROM post in that ROM thread if its a general question about the phone its self use the Q&A section.

Unless it has to do with benchmark scores for a certain ROM ... those call for a new thread in Q&A.

You need to make like 10 posts in non development threads before you can post in the development section.

Right?
I have been lurking for years, but only recently did I obtain anything useful to say, but it would not allow me to. So when I went to post on the thread I was like,
RAAAAAAGGGGGEEE!!!!!!
But I suppose it would not hurt the forums out to have a few miscellaneous general discussion posts.
This is your answer:
Please read forum rules before posting
Questions and help issues go in Q&A

I too am frustrated by the 10 post rule - I'd be happy to help out answering questions if I knew what I was doing enough to contribute, but I don't. How am I supposed to learn if I can't ask questions? Just doesn't really make sense to me . . .

You can help and ask questions...in the Q/A section. We all had to do it so it's not like you're the first to be saddled with these limitations.

Guess I assumed this forum wasn't really designed for questions regarding rooting the phone. I pictured it more as a troubleshooting section / more general forum and thought questions regarding rooting a phone were for the developer thread. Perhaps I got my wires crossed

Oh nah Q/A is perfect for all GSIII questions haha I guarantee if you post a new thread about anything that is not your developed rom/mod/kernel in either dev section, you'll be met with a lot of negativity. I'm not even joking. A good tip to know is: when in doubt, post it in the Q/A section. Typically post in a developer thread if you're reporting bugs or helping someone else in that thread similar to what I'm doing right now with you. Only create a new thread in either development section if you developed something and want to share it.
