I got accepted
Took a while to get approved, but got there in the end!
Many thanks! <3
Congrats!!
Hmm. Is it normal for a PM to a s-mod about this to be ignored? I didn't send much, and am so debating as to whether to send another to someone else....
Also, I am unsure whether I would get it, and with me being the type of person that gets easily nervous, I would be very worried when applying.....

i have applied and unfortunately no luck.now got to wait for a few months. bummer
Harsh mate, keep doing what you're doing and you will be surely accepted soon!
I am sure it's just a missed PM, i would imagine they get alot and missing one by accident is possible, you could send a PM to the S-Mod again just explaining that you pm on said date and you did not get a reply, saying that you think your pm might have been missed.
oh, i know it got missed. i had sent a read receipt with the PM. will give it a try, though.
Harsh mate, keep doing what you're doing and you will be surely accepted soon!

Cheers dude! Hope you're all good
Yeah I have thought about it, really don't think I've done enough to deserve the Recognized Themer title. Only done about 2 themes, and even those were joined efforts.

Think I should apply now? Or hold off till my one-click root app is out of RC and On-Android. I'm pretty active in the Transformer section (Tf101)
Thanks if anyone takes a look at me :]

well hope you get it mate. what perks do you get being an RC anyway apart from the obvious.
phone just send it in for one manufacturer defect and ended them finding a whole lot more issues. so they ordering parts and building it from scratch again.not happy at all
Just a tip for ya, if you feel that your Pm is ignored by the Senior Moderator ( well i doubt, some of them are really busy) you can try to sent the Pm to any Forum Specific Moderator so he could forward your request to a specific thread where is checked by all the other Senior Moderators.
I think my application is being reviewed now
Click THANKS if I helped.
And if your generous donate to me please
Sent from my X8

348RC-RT Mission Statement
-------------------------------------------
So over on the Recognized Contributors forum, it has become clear that most members of XDA don't know that you can apply for the title of Recognized Contributor (RC). I have also included the same for Recognized themer, as I am assuming that it's not well known that you can apply.
What is a Recognized Contributor?
Recognized Contributor is a role intended for members who produce some of the best original and helpful guides for users, as well as helping other users who have problems, in a friendly manner. Recognized Contributors will get a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Moderator and or Status-ed Holder on XDA can forward a Nomination to the Committee, should they feel the Individual is deserving of this Status.What is a Recognized Themer?
Recognized Themers are those users who work (often tirelessly) on designing new theme graphics and user interface overhauls for ROMs. Users who aspire to be Recognized Themers should be creating original graphics work for their themes being released, demonstrate a commitment to crediting other users’ work when applicable, and seek the relevant permission in advance from the original creator. Recognized Themers will receive a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Moderator and or Status-ed Holder on XDA can forward a Nomination to the Committee, should they feel the Individual is deserving of this Status.Pre-requisites
- 1. Be a member for at least 1 year (following the XDA rules) with consistent and acceptable activity, upon review with the discretion of the Committee of acceptable months. Usually, 6-8 activity is acceptable.
- 2. Posted good original threads:
a. Threads that are guides/index/collective information.
b. OP of ROM threads and have good support within the ROM thread or via a separate thread in the Q&A section, and some activity in the Q&A section or other threads besides their own.
c. Place holder threads (discussions of home screens/ wallpapers / Off-Topic, etc) are NOT accepted.
Exception: A proper place holder for a new phone with details and other important information and further maintaining the Q&A on the device. - 3. In case of no independent threads, the following may be accepted:
a. An FAQ (or support post) within a ROM thread.
b. Generally moving around from thread to thread to help members – the "Post Count Vs Thanks" could be used as a means to measure this. - 4. Good quality general know-how around XDA forums (not necessarily developer standard)
- 5. Thanks count broadly expected given the forums they are in.
- 6. Posted regularly enough (complementing point 1) to provide continuous support or less frequently but good high-value support
- 7. Contribute to a good overall general atmosphere.
- 8. You have read, understood, and will adhere to the: Recognized Contributor Code of Conduct: https://www.xda-developers.com/recognized-contributor-code-of-conduct/
You can apply by sending your application via PM to:
- A member of the RC-RT Committee:
TNSMANI Clark Joseph Kent Lead
RC-RT Liaison PG101- Any other Senior Moderator
- Any FSM.
- Any existing RC, who will pass on your application forward.
The best way in which to apply through your PM
When you are writing your application, you will need to include:
- A polite hello
- Your username with a link to your username will want to check your history.
- Why do you think you would make a good RC/RT, including a little about your time on XDA.
- Links to your work including Guides, Ref, Roms, Projects, Apps(Themes for RT), etc
Do not forget to include 7/10 links of threads/posts which would be helpful in assessing your application. - A thank you for their time and goodbye (Manners are free)
Please do not bombard the committee with PM's.
If you are having a problem with your application or you would like to appeal a decision made on your application, then you can contact the RC-RT Committee through PM.
If you do get accepted as an RC/RT then please come and visit the RC's forum and help contribute to our work and cause to make XDA a better place
If you have any questions then please ask, I or the other RC's/RT's will help in anyway we can.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS NOT: A PLACE FOR PRE-ASSESSMENTS.
I am not liking all this speculation about "do I qualify..?" "what do I need.." and more so that the current RCs are feeding these with actual answers.
I urge all of you to refrain from asking this particular question, its almost becoming like asking for an ETA on a rom thread.. you know how that goes?
If you feel you are ready, apply.. that's all there is to it and if you donot get accepted, I am sure you will be given reasons. You may discuss here how you can improve your contributions to be accepted again.
Cheers!
18Guys/Gals, I don't see this as a thread to evaluate others or to give hints and tips for others to achieve RC status. If a person is suitable , let the mods review them. They can read the OP and know the criteria required. I'm concerned that this thread has become a training ground and the RC pool is becoming diluted.
If a user cannot read or know what the criteria is, then, imho, they don't have the criteria required
...........................
You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think! XDA, mobile wisdom, not a n00b feeding ground!!17Not aimed at anyone in particular, but as RC's, I think you need to lead by example, similar to Moderators. One of my personal pet hates is users asking for Thanks in their signatures or those who have large images in their signatures. If normal users see this, they'll think it is the norm and follow suit. If a post merits somebody saying thank you, they'll click on the button. Requesting it defeats the purpose imho. As for large images in their signatures. There is no need for it. It's just annoying and takes up to much space. Personally I'd like RC's to not do either of these things and help XDA as a whole by encouraging others to follow suit.

EDIT - Moved this discussion to here to keep thread on topic17Edit: none of my business to intervene, sorries.
I liked the unedited version myself, that being said; gentlemen, if you wish to become an RC the qualifications are listed in the OP. This has been stated many, many times throughout this thread "This is not a guide to make you an RC, it is a guide on how to apply to become one"
Asking if you qualify here shows that you did not read the OP, which in turn, shows that perhaps you're not ready to apply...
Slithering from the nether regions of a twisted mind and tarnished soul16
No, we wont give you an answer.. and No, you cant say "Give me answer yes or no!"
This is not your backyard lawn, my friend. Please be tasteful and polite in choosing how you ask.
And.. please, for the love of GOD, Read the OP - I know I am being a jerk.. but I don't know, what will it take for members aspiring to be RCs, to at least read the OP of this very thread that guides them to become one.
