The video is hilarious, I watch it every time I feel like a noob.Nice guide and I think everyone who wants to register should be forced to read it, like everybody is forced to watch the noob video. That video is pretty funny and I actually watched it two times before I continued the registration.:laugh:

at where?
thanks
I bought an Impression i10 tablet (aka the Impression POS) and posted a couple times on a thread, when all of a sudden, I get an error message saying I need to have 10 posts to comment on a "development thread." Lame that my access would be denied after-the-fact.
I appreciate what this forum is all about, but it's clunky. Having to fill-out a captcha every time I post, now my access being denied to this particular thread, etc...I doubt I'll be sticking around much longer.
Just my 2 cents.

I totally agree.The ten post rule has been talked about a lot lately, and I don't see it leaving any time soon. You should be able to easily make ten helpful posts. It's kinda like a right of passage, and a decent idea. Xda is about developing, and a community. And they think you should help the community, it's how it should be
The captcha is obviously to stop spam. There have been a lot of spam bots recently. Can you get the xda app on your device? You don't need to fill one out for that.

I totally agree.
The 10-post rule isn't even enough in my opinion. But the idea of increasing it has been put forward a few times but it's obviously a decision the higher-ups have to be happy with. If they're not, it'll stay as is.
Even with the rule how it is, it's only the people who want to either moan about a rom or say thanks for a rom that are moaning about it. The rest of us respect the rule and even though it might not be ideal, we respected the rule when it applied to us.

I'm just hoping they actually put the idea into action because it would decrease the number of non-dev posts in the dev section, as you say.Yeah, I actually would be in favour of increasing it. The dev section seems to be overrun with non dev posts recently. All people with under 20 posts who can't read the op, or the faq. It makes it hard to read and help people.

There are Junior Members, Members, Senior Members first. These make up the vast majority of XDAs userbase.
Recognised Contributors are nominated by other users and/or Mods/Developers. They are recognised for their contributions which are not specifically Development, such as detailed guides, one-click utilities and other tools/mods.
Recognised Themers are also nominated by users/Mods/Developers, for their work themeing custom ROMs and providing standalone themes for flashing.
Recognised Developers are nominated and approved by the Developer Committee, for their work in Development whether it be ROMs, Root methods, bootloader unlocks etc.
Elite Recognised Developers are again assessed by the Developer Committee, and are deemed to have gone above-and-beyond in providing knowledge/hacks/tools/apps/ROMs for the XDA community.
Forum Moderators are appointed by the Moderator Committee, after submitting an application (see the 'sticky' at the top of this forum - currently applications are not open). They are the first-line of keeping the forums tidy, friendly and orderly.
Senior Moderators are the next step up the ladder, providing site-wide support for Forum Mods and looking after the nitty-gritty issues, as well as areas of XDA not policed by FSMs, such as the Marketplace.
Administrators are next. There are several Admins - each look after a specific part of XDA such as the Portal, the Members and the User Experience of XDA as a whole.
At the top is Mike Channon, who is overall Forum Administrator.
Other titles you may come across:
Moderator Committee - sits on the Mod Committee
Developer Committee - as above, but for Developer Committee
XDA Newswriter - publishes articles for the Portal (front page)
Retired xxxx - have since officially 'left' their XDA position
Hopefully that clears most of them up for you
Contrary to what a lot of people expect, the thanks-meter does not figure at all in determining a users tag.
Fallen Spartan - Moderator CommitteeThe 10 post rule was put in place to make new users think, and hopefully contribute and help others by
making useful posts rather than the usual crap like "thanks", "kewl" etc or ask questions which have
been asked countless times before. They still have access to dev forums, just cannot post in them.
Its not a massive restriction and to provide 10 useful/helpful posts is not hard.
