Just curious if anyone knows off-hand the requirements to have a signature, as i know there are limitations to new members such as the 5 post thing.
If this is a retarded question, flame me lol. I may deserve it. but i cant seem to find the answere, although i only searched for a few mins, but figured a thread here could help others as well. Thank you in advance

Welcome to forums
I think you have a minimum amount of posts in order to "unlock" to full use your XDA account, this is to protect members from bad intentional persons.
Not sure but I think something around 10.
After 8 posts they will allow signatures, but it takes a hour or two for them to update your account after the 8th post.

Thanks, I needed that. I been going to UserCP for the past 2 days with only 5 post.
Can't say that having a sig is something that I need....but anyways, have fun!
Ok great. Now I know why I can't have a sig now. Thanks

Perhaps not now but when you become an active member you´ll see how useful is to have a sig with some of the information you want others to see as what is your HTC device
Lol good thing I looked around the forum. I was like "How do I change my sig???". Definitely an XDA newbie here
Thanks for that robertgibson
Yah, thanks. Something new for me as well.

I was actually just getting ready to PM someone about this and decided right before I hit the submit button to do a search for this. Good to know. That posting limit is kind of annoying, however I understand why.
Awesome glad I did a search before asking this!!

been looking all over for the answer to this question! The search function out here isnt very helpful all the time!
Glad I found this! Thanks for asking the question. Gotta work my way up to that 8th post!
So, here's my first pretend post out of the 8 or ten or whatever it is today.
Mindless control freakery isn't it?

(until further notice, or I may make that permanent in honour of this situation)
Actually I only joined after a lot of lurking, as someone asked a question about rooting on a particular 7 inch tablet; I happened to know and was happy to share the answer, no one had answered the OP. Having joined to answer the question for this cap I then found out that forum says no noobs, so that's not going to work out in a sharing the knowledge sense is it?
I also wanted to comment about the G+ Social thing - that needs more posts too, which does not seem an entirely sociable way to treat a noob.
Don't you just love a bit of irony on a wet Thursday night?
Oh and a great app for working through the five minute posting rule without wasting your life - KitchenTimer on the app market.
I would have (in fact did) make a link but guess what, another rule! There's a pattern emerging here.
It said "thanks for understanding", which looks awfully like an assumption from where I am standing.
Is there a forum where us noobs can just get the limit post over and done with to placate whoever it is that is getting off on having the limit?
Or is the only option we have the one of driving everyone one else crazy with ten posts of made up, really annoying, noob questions?
That does seem the most likely outcome as it stands, regrettably.
Due to apparently not being allowed to edit posts I should point out that when I typed "cap" above, I would have liked it to come out as "chap", but life had other plans.
I too am grateful to find the answer to the signature question. Post 3 - 5 to go.
Just need to hit 10 post count ignore me
Apparently this is going to be a lot worse then expected.

Great anti-spam mods.
Haha just another guy wanting to post in the dev forums...nice
dude respond to other posts as well they count towards the ten post requirement
I just need one post
Thread closed
It can be hard to make your 10 posts but try to post something constructive, useful!!
Hi,
To post in the forums, where I can ask for and give help, I need to have posted at least 10 times. I cannot even thank TRusselo who wrote the Newbie guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1041206
I could consider this one of the 10, but this is just creating a mess in the CMS for this site.
Or is there a forum where I can do a quick post 10 times, which a moderator will purge monthly

It's to weed out helpful people.
If they're helpful, they leave before they get 10 posts.

Aah, your timezone is set wrongly. XDA does not yet know which timezone you are in.
At the top of this page, to the left of "Welcome squallrblade", click on User CP.
On the left, select "Edit options", under "Settings and Options". Halfway down, set your timezone.
Why you are 4 mins off, I have no idea. Either the server or your wall clock is off.

Sweet, thank you
this rule is really disturbing...
Most of my questions are related to AmericanAndroid, but I can't post them there... until I reach the 10 posts limit... Maybe we can use this thread to upgrade our posts limit...

Yes, and that way, the thread can be deleted without a thought later
If we are going to do that, might as well as use it as a sandbox, to learn formatting, etc.
Whos helpful? Yeah. It's annoying. I need a few more myself.
I'm such a forum geek too. If you added up my posts from everywhere I post it's over 25,000 and they started in the 1990's.
I hit the magic 10 and still cant post in the Litening Rom 2.2 forum?

Oh dear. I just reviewed a forum I had been a member of for about 2 and a half years and I racked up around 14000 posts.
bacause you are n00b. just like the vid in reg page. same same like me here. need gaining post
and then you will get
1. To prevent spam to the forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed.
9 post means 9 times 5 equal 45min more or less
congrats
Is that really necessary? Do I really have to spam 10 random topics to report bugs at my favourite ROM? Sorry, but I find it turbo stupid...
Yes it is and I have to chit-chat around so I can give developer some feedback.
I'd really like to hear some administrator/ moderator opinion on that
I understand them, but, by this way, they prevent flooding by newbies in specific phones sections (posting some useless links for example)
im on the same bloat as you guys but i did make me read a ton of stuff more
Considering most mods don't ban or warn noobs about posting OT dumba$$ questions in the dev threads, it's completely pointless. Whatever, just play along.
Check your phones general section, there may be a "discussion" thread regarding the project you wish to provide feedback on.
Oh yeah, welcome to the circus
Agreed. It's kinda lame, but I understand the point. Like DJ and sigma said, it keeps people from hitting that New Thread or Quick Reply button unnecessarily and forces people to actually search and read..
I can understand the reason behind it, but it forces to spam 10 messages..
@Turducken
I can just use this topic to spam my 10 msgs, is that what you suggesting?
****, still 5 more. You guys wanna talk about something?
It's been harder than I thought to get to the 10 posts. Am I there yet? Lol
Actually you need 2 more. Let me help you!
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Ok, now I have my 10 posts but still can't post to the developer forums. Does it take a while to update?
What?! Maybe there is a mistake, its 100, not 10...
Ok, once I got to 11 it worked. All is well!
Just wondering: we get banned if we start a thread like "Spamtopic for newcomers. Get your 11 posts quick and painles!~"
well, that's why I didn't just drop 10 (or eleven) nonsense posts here...

Anyway, I really don't think this is an efficient way of moderating forum... any kid can make 11 posts and troll dev topics, it's actually happening, I'm following Xperia ThGo development and there is a loooot of rubbish. Guess there's a lot of it around the place.
So, the limit is not a weapon, it is a good moderation. Like on AudioNews, for example. If you write junk, you get a BIIIIG red exclamation mark over your post.

Fortunately I make backup earlier, I restore it and it works. But I want to try this new version of NexusHD2 rom... Any ideas?
How I instal it? I go to the CWM screen (i have cLK) i chose st like "instal zip from SD" and i chose destiny of "NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V3.2a_NAND_(Android-2.3.7).zip", maybe I forgot something?
Sorry for my English.
maybe his post got deleted later on, dunno
Every other day or so, I will lock my phone with the power button. Upon trying to unlock it, the screen will not turn back on, will turn on but at dimmest setting, or it will power full on (like normal) but will not unlock.
This occurs whether or not I'm using ADW, Magiclocker, or CM7 for my lock screen. It usually only occurs once every other day, maybe 3 days. Has happened at 3 different clock speeds (3xxmhz, 7xxmhz, and stock).
Just curious if this is a common issue or maybe I need to reflash the ROM. Thanks for anyone's help.

The CM Q&A thread isn't just for show, questions for specific roms should be posted in their respective threads...I really don't get why that's a hard concept to grasp.
I would say that's an uncommon issue however, or at least that's not something I've heard many users of CM ROMs say before...again I would post this question in the respective Q&A thread so at least the developers will have a shot at looking at it...or at the very least give others a chance who use that rom specifically to see if it should be considered a real issue or just a bad flash.

Thanks for the reply. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Little side note on your first comment: I have hughesnet for internet (as in, if I wanna enjoy my little ROM hobby, I have to stay up until 1am to start any downloads and get up before 6am to shut it off). I try to get my threads, on any forum, in their proper spot. But, for whatever reason, certain pages on this forum will not load for me. So I do the best I can. I would appreciate it, as aggravating as it is for someone to post is the wrong section, that you try not to be derogatory with your remarks. Unfortunately for some of us, Cable/DSL isnt an option. No hard feelings, just something to think about. Again thanks for your input.

LOL, honestly if you found the first part of my comment to be more on the derogatory side then informative, I suggest you not take things so personal when someone is trying to point you in the correct direction. I'm going to be very straight forward and if you want to confuse that with derogatory or take it personally, I can't help you there mate, that's an inner struggle. To be honest, what I said was probably on the more polite side when it comes to unnecessary threads, if you don't believe me, kids get flamed for far less..hang around long enough and you'll see it for yourself. I'm a straight forward member, you'll see that in all my posts, if you take it personally or as a personal attack at your internet situation, sorry man wasn't my intention?

Oh no, I didn't find it offensive or take it personally but, it did come off as a derogatory remark, or at the least, that's how it reads.

No worries man! I hope you get it all figured out! if you can't get it to open, let me know and I'll get the question into the proper thread so the CM guys can give you an answer. Like I said originally, that's a first time hearing about this problem, I'm not an avid CM using but from the known bugs with CM ROMs I know of, I don't believe that's one of them.
