So I tried to post in a ROM thread and get a message saying I'm not aloud cause I'm under 10 post and no expert but yet I was able to post there the other day twice which was no repost or a noob question. So now I can't post a question that still has not been posted by anyone else or has been posted anywhere. So guess I need to just make random post bout 7 more time so that can make me a expert at knowing what's going on just to post in certain threads ... Cool
What did you want to post? They had an announcement a few days ago about why new members (under ten posts) would no longer be able to post in the development section. Nothing to get upset over.

I have never heard of this happening but I guess if you say so.
I know you can't post links or files being a junior member but that's a new one on me.
Why not just post your question now?

Maybe this will shed some light on it.
Well like I said I was able to post twice just yesterday them now I can't and I brought it up to a buddy and he explained to me bout the new rule but kinda sux fir people like me I just sit back and wait cause most the time someone else always ends up asking questions that I have I mean I'm no expert but at the same time I know what I'm doing just by reading most of what's going on. But the question I had was I'd anyone knew of anything bout CM putting in more themes in the rom itself or there gonna be a new thread where we can dl them from? Also what if I had a problem to report bout a rom but couldn't post in the right thread am I to make a new one or sit back and wait to see if anyone ever post the same problem? Thanx for the help/advice

Generally the themes are in the "Themes and Apps" section. I think they figure that if you've gone through the process of rooting your phone, learning to use adb and flashing ROMs and kernels you've probably exceeded ten posts. They just want to keep the development sections clean so the developers stick around. I happen to think that's a great idea.

All you have to do is post ten times before you can post there, and if you are here enough contributing that shouldn't be so hard...?
It's a great idea. If you are going to root your phone and flash ROMs, hopefully you've taken the time to know everything involved in doing so.
Too many root their phones and have no idea what they are doing. It's not that hard to read and watch video to learn how things work.

Its kinda hard to contribute when u can't post in the rite thread. That's the whole point of this rant but also to just get me up to 10 post so when I do have a question or something that has not been brought to the table I can contribute!

Unfortunately, 90% of the posts by new users are in the wrong thread when they post to the development section. If you are in the 10% that do know what that section is for, then great, make your 10 posts and unlock the door. And thank you for contributing! Once you have been for awhile, you'll start to see for yourself why they made that change.
If it was a question then.. it shouldn't been in development
There's your problem from the start
Imo I think they should make the post count higher to post in development or even better they should hafta get a mod to approve if your allowed to

I'm down for a higher post count, 10 can be too simple, and people can just post a bunch of stupid ish in random forums to get to it. If you have a specific question about a rom, chances are you haven't read through the 30+ pages of that thread. So instead of posting about it again, search JUST the rom thread, not the android dev. forum, with 1-2 keywords of your problem, more likely than not, you will find a fix for your problem, or see that it is still unresolved.

I've been coming to XDA for about 6 months now, but I haven't been posting on the threads because I'm able to solve issues myself. It sucks that they just added this when there are plenty of people who are mature enough to search and solve their problems without complaining about not being able to find a fix. It seems like, once again, the ignorance of few have ruined it. I guess I'll just have to answer some questions until I get up to 10 posts so I can actually give input on bugs and other ROMs I test.

XDA answered your questions and provided ROMs to flash for your enjoyment for 6 months... I think 7 more informative/helpful posts is the least you can do to give back.
I'm also working my way up to 10 so that I can join in the CM7 discussion on this forum.
That is a ridiculous rule. It only does one thing it keeps some spamer or troll from sighing up and do his dirty deeds quick. Nothing else.
I have over hundred post and a title like "senior member", like that's supposed to be anything. I can tell you right now I don’t no my head from my ass. ~ & worse; I think I'm funny.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with spamming and trolling. If it was to control spam and trolls, don't you think they would have applied some kind of rule to ALL forums and not just the developer forums?
It's blatantly obvious that it's to keep people who don't know any better from posting off-topic non-development questions in the development forums. By the time somebody makes 10 posts, they've hopefully figured out where to post things.
I honestly can't believe this is even an issue... its 10 freaking posts. Get over it.

I have 1.99 PA on my phone now but looking to upgrade to 2,00 or 2,10,,, I see it on the official website but can't find a version for the Epic 4G.. Is there one even available yet for the Epic??
How many threads are you going to start asking the same question? All you have to do is go into the dev section and look at PA thread. There is mention on the second to last page that it might be coming soon.

I am still very new to all of this and I am only looking for guidance.. I just assumed that since I got no response to my first question I would ask again.. excuse me if I have offended you by my lack of knowledge...I am coming from a rom that has had consistent nightly releases and wanted to try something new.. I do thank you for your tip to point me in the right direction but not the arrogance.........
Here is guidance:

Official Off-Topic Thread
Hi to all from the moderation team. With a fast growing community there is a massive amount of general off topic chit chat going around in this forum. So we thought it best to give all a place to have a chat. This should hopefully take some pressure off the forums, so making it a better place for us all as there should be less junk to wade through trying to find what we need.
Now with that said, this does not mean there are no rules to this thread. All of XDA rules still apply. Flaming and the belittling of other users (of any title) will not be tolerated and dealt with harshly by the moderation team. This should be a fun place for us all to have a chat and a general vent of frustrations. Any moderation issues should still be handled by PM.
Let the fun begin!

its not right to close that thread as almost every devices on xda have Indian or other countries thread separately...so please open it
OK Guys, i hear you. The intention was not to only shut the Indian thread. It was shut because it was not titled as a Indian availability thread more a review/specs thread that i wanted to pull all together into one place. The OP is even written as such, so its very misleading. If its misleading to me then it most certainly is to a new user. So we have two options here, either open a new properly titled thread or the original one gets edited by the OP to make it a availability thread, which is fine.
Personally at this point i think a new one would be better, with the OP written with a current availability and a proper title. This would be much more helpful for all, as wading through all the previous old posts would be tiresome.
As i said, i am working to make this forum a nice place for all users, hence the pooling of information in the sticky threads. What i dont need is PMs that some of which can come across as very pushy. I do not respond to these sort of PMs. I am not saying i dont want to hear users suggestions, they are appreciated. Just try to do it in a polite informative manner, i am more than willing to negotiate. Not saying all the PMs were pushy, just a couple, so dont be offended.
So what are your thoughts, anybody up for starting a nice informative OP for a Indian availability thread?
Hi guys
Those who are from india looking for availability and prices go to the below thread.

I just read your valuable comments....u said their i should rename that thread title to get that in business again...But can u tell me how can i rename the title of that thread i asked u because u locked that thread...
As far as i know there are tons of country related threads in every mobile phone general section....So i can not understand why that thread is closed.

Sir, please understand the Moderator put in place threads for the entire Community, not just for your needs or requests. Reread O_G post, and move on...be understanding that the allowing of an OT and a few others threads is welcomed.
If this doesn't stop of "my thread...my thread"...The Moderator Team could just result in shutting down ALL non development threads down, and use what others deem as an iron fist type solution. This is not a threat, just an ask of compliance by understanding the "big" picture.
Additionally, I will ask all do not PM me requesting or wanting me to reevaluate another Moderator actions. As the actions taken here I fully support.
Enough said, thank you all for your time in this matter. Move on...

Android Authority have updated their post with a load more screenshots on the lollipop upgrade
http://www.androidauthority.com/lg-android-5-0-lollipop-564620/
No need a new thread each time a new screenshot is leaked.
Maybe one thread about lollipop would be much more useful.
There are at least 4 different threads...

As Arstechnica reported the rollout of Lollipop for Moto G (2014) and Moto X has started. This applies only to carrier unlocked versions. You will find the Release Notes here.
And you needed to make a new thread for this.

Yes. Because it is a useful information and as far as i know it has not been reported on XDA.
Does this look like the 2014 G/X forum by any chance?
What is wrong with most of you lately, spamming the general forum with all those annoying, pointless, speculation filled threads about the SAME THING? Where are the mods to clean all this mess up? All those threads (what, 10 or more?) could be merged together as it should be.
It's a goddamn update just like when we all got 4.4.x over 4.3, and it's coming soon (a week at most, maybe week and a half considering the soak test is happening right now for our 2013 G). No need to get all hyped up and annoying like high school girls gossipping over nothing at recess.
Sorry for the rant, I suppose I'm not the only one who feels like this lately.
edit: here you can find the same news, in one of all those threads. See my point? Chaos.
Where do you see a speculation? Due to Arstechnica it is a fact.
I did nowhere ask when it will be released or something elese. I am saying that the rollout has started.
My thread is different then the 10 others because they are asking the always same .
If you are not hyped, i am and many others also. Stop crying.
I was talking about the state of the general forum these days over the L update. You'll agree it's a mess. You'll also agree this could be posted in one of all those existing threads.
I'm outta this one.

Exactly .
People are too much desperate for Android L.
But this is heights.
We know we will get it eventually but there are countless thread on same topic .
There should be one and only thread for discussion if we want.It should be doing all the updates .
And This thread is also pointless and most of the people would read the portal news or blog post which is for its dedicated .
If the news / update is exclusive then you have right to create new thread but this news update is very common and most of us knows it.
I am not offending OP or anyone just sharing what I am thinking.
Have a good day,
Thanks.
