Who are you to tell me on being a part of the forum or not, who gave you the authority to tell this to anyone.
This is a feedback thread, and I give mine.
If you dont like it dont keep an option for it or simply just dont read them.

And last but not least, most of the members here do have work/college/school, they are not sitting in front of computer all the time and replying to every post on XDA to increase their post count to become so called recognised member/contributer/developer...

Hi there. Yes, this is a feedback thread, and the feedback you are giving is to us: the moderators, administrators and the owners of xda-developers. GermainZ, the user to whom you replied, IS a moderator and, thus, has every "authority" (to put it in your terms) to comment on your feedback.

We read all the feedback given, and we do comment on most of it. As the other moderators have already mentioned to you, the restrictions are there for a purpose and therefore they will not change (unless a better mechanism is suggested/found). That being said, most users have no difficulty reaching the "members" level, which eliminates the posting restrictions and allows you to have signatures. And, as was also already mentioned, if these restrictions are too much of a burden, you are welcome to not post.

I hope this has addressed your issues. As well: welcome to XDA.

Why my previous reply to this message is deleted.

And as being a so called moderator/administrator can you please tell me why my post count is reduced to 26, it was supposed to be 35 excluding this reply.

Just a guess, but I'd say your posts were deleted as you were arguing only to increase your post count. That considered spam and spam gets deleted.

I was just giving my feedback and was trying to point out something...

But I think the so called moderators were unable to digest that...

I'm going to tell you this, your attitude leaves much to be desired. Picking arguments with moderators and failing to understand why policies are put in place after being told several times in several different ways, is no way to start your membership on this site. Complaining and belly-aching about the 10-post rule will not change the policy.
If everything here is making you so unhappy and your sole purpose is to be combative, perhaps this isn't the right site for you.

You can ask MikeChannon to delete your profile, account, activity on XDA, etc. As far as a refund of your app purchase, you will have to go to the Play Store and go through the proper channels for issuance of refunds like you would any other app. Play Store transactions are not handled on this site.

Thanks for a quick reply.

Mike is based in the UK, I doubt he'll have been up 4 hours ago from when you replied. Please allow some time for differing timezones.

Probably because they're is a backlog of PM's that he needs to view and reply to. In addition to that, its Saturday and XDA staff are NOT tied to XDA 24/7 - we have lives outside of XDA and other responsibilities to attend to. As I said, allow a little time and it will be sorted.

A lot of mods spend time with their families at weekends. He probably hasn't been on since.

Developers should be able to filter out peeps to leave only those who contribute. Offered both + and - lists just like with routers. Good idea? Do the thing.

That would mean that developers would be acting like moderators within their own threads which as pointed out on this post leaves too much potential for abuse.

May i add a point here.

1) If possible, we can give RD a right to allow newbies Question or suggestions at His / Her thread. like, while making any thread at Dev section a tick of "Noobs Suggestions" there. so that if Only that Dev wants then only Noob can ask or give suggestions. I agreed that it will b acting like a Moderator. But it won't allow Dev to delete or modify any post.

Using this we might understand what Dev actually wants.

or

2) As we can see In DevDB, we have option of Question and Answer tab at above of thread topic. Like that, if any Newbies posts at Dev thread, can b transferred to that General Discussion thread or Q/A thread, automatically.

That post can be seen at Dev thread but with the sign/template/color of Discussion thread. If any user quote that post, to answer, can be transferred to that Discussion thread like i said above.

This is what I m thinking from last many days.

There is no reason for a noob to post until Dev threads. Not until they learn more.

You have to remember that this is a developers site. Made for and by developers. This is not a rom, support or user site.

I knew it already, who said its not a Dev site.

But for new Joinee not for Noobs. There is much difference between them.

BTW, I am asking about Developer interest. If a RD not other Users, wants then only. Means, if an RD gets right to let new Users to post for suggestions or bug reporting. Like I said above, in my Point no 2.

Hope I made you clear. :fingers-crossed:

You misunderstand. I am suggesting that developers can mark a person as an always see (+ list) or never see (- list) for their own personal viewing ONLY. This would not impose a display censorship for anyone else viewing the thread.

This is what adding people to your ignore list does I think.
