Why are new members generally seen as Noobs?

One of the reasons I registered is to post my work, not to ask stupid Questions (expect of this one, sorry for that but I need to get my 10 Posts)

Kind regards Uwe

Noobs are seen as noobs:rolleyes:

If you want to share your work.. share it in general section... and report the thread asking to move it to development after you get 10 posts... which you will get in same thread or you can get it by answering questions in Q& A section.. its not like 10 posts is that hard.. it hardly takes 1 hr to get it properly..

You release that the Site is for Developers yes, however 99% of newly registered users are not developers thus this is put in place.
The site is also about helping each other so why not answer some people questions (as if your already a developer im sure there are questions you can answer) help a few people and boom you have more than enough posts
 

Thats OK

Well if your smart enough to offer work for development you've got to be smart enough to read and understand XDA's simple requests.
Reading the rules is vital if you want good treatment here.

More direct answer...

99.9% of the new user registrations are just that, Noobs. They have absolutely no idea what they are getting in to.

I am sorry for asking this (probably) stupid question. Nevertheless, thanks for your answers.

I would like to apologize

Kind regards, Uwe

You can be a Noob and still know what your doing.
Also think, 99.9% is a bit high on the Noob scale.

I get the need for rules and order, but...

I must admit that I find it frustrating that I can't post feedback on a ROM, as requested by the maker (UltimaROM/Kryten2k35) simply because I haven't posted some other silly stuff on xda-developers before.

I'm not trying to stir the waters, honestly, but I haven't seen a question I can answer which doesn't already have dozens of answers (so I don't see the point in spamming), I answer my own questions by googling (often ending up on xda-developers, reading tens of pages of posts to get somewhere, and often actually getting there... thanks everyone!). It's especially frustrating when the guide for getting 10 posts says "Always read lots post little" -- something I have been doing, quite a lot, really. I'm no mobile dev, but I am a programmer by trade (12 years now) so I have an idea of how to conduct myself -- and how to be useful to an open-source / free project with contributions other than code. I think that I have some not-completely-useless feedback for Kryten2k35, but I can't give it. And I wouldn't email it even if I had an address to email it to -- it would just be more crap in his (I'm assuming?) inbox.

Anyway, that's my 2c worth. Let me go look again if there's some question I can actually help on, which doesn't have a plethora of perfectly good answers. The 10-post rule may also explain the number of silly / useless comments on open forums -- comments that I wade through when coming here from google. I really want to be a good citizen -- just voicing my (probably insignificant) opinion. And getting 1/10 posts :)
edit: I take some of that back: I have been able to find 3 threads I can help on. Pity I have to wait so long between posts... 5 minutes takes forever when you're waiting for them to pass ):

Remember you can just PM the dev here on XDA... Why is it that so many people don't realise you can just PM people?
If you need to get in contact with a developer to give useful information that does not really concern anyone else surely this is the best method anyway

I think she's actually borderline on the side of Sara Jessica Parker. No body and just a weird face.

    I'm not a newb I've been flashing and rooting thanks to xda for years now. I became a member so I could thank the devs and report glitches and such but I never got around to posting my 10 useless posts. which I am doing now by the way.. I understand the 10 post rule in the fact that it weeds out ignorant people in flooding the developers forums with nonsense posts but it is still somewhat frustrating for us experienced users.

    Reported. You don't need 10posts to click the thanks button.
