Am I understanding this correctly? I need to post 10 times in General or Q/A before I can post in Development thread?
I don't have any Q/A posts to create other than this and I don't have any general questions.
All I wanted to do was post to a thread that the Kernel is running great and no issues so far.
The only question I have is the following:
Should I post then new posts that are useless to get my count up
or
Post back to this thread I created 10 times?
I am leaning toward the latter but before I do I want to make sure I do not get anyones panties in a bunch. If this is an issue I'll just leave it as is and stick to reading.
If you just wanted to thank the dev who made the kernel, you could always just click the thanks button.

From my understanding of this forum, this isn't like other forums where you would post all questions and comments that are related to development in the development section. Since this is xda-DEVELOPERS they seem to assume that all questions are going to be related to development.
So all regular comments go in the General section, and all Questions go in the Q&A section. I believe they want you to post in the dev section only if you are developing something (a kernal, a rom, a mod like CWM).
If you want to report success on a specific rom or kernel, couldn't you just hit "reply" in the thread for that kernel? That's what I usually do.
Also, this will probably keep you from getting griped at by lots and lots of wannabe moderators (in addition to the real moderators).
Yea I know how u feel I'm on number 4 I think so this will be 5 half way there.

You can't POST, not just not make new threads.

Questions belong in Q&A. Questions/problems on a specific ROM/KERNEL/MOD in the development forum belong in the thread related to what you have the question/problem with, not in a new topic. The development forum is for releases of stuff only, along with discussion in the same thread about said releases.
thanks for the clarification. one of these days i will get my 10 post in to thank all the hard working developers

Same here I was going to post in the developers kernel thread to provide feedback as it was new and they look for feedback.
This rule I can understand for new posts but for replying to existing posts I don't understand other than the fact you get a lot of people that post in wrong places all the time. However this will happen with this rule in place or not as they can reach ten posts pretty quickly.
Either way just found it an odd rule. Some forums do a "you must be a member for X days before you can post". This rule allows new members to do reading before they just start posting all over the joint. That one I understand.

Devs do check out the Q/A and general section too, so you dont have to post in their thread if you have a problem.
One good thing regarding the 10 post is that people wont post a thread with a question in the development section. A lot of people who accidentally post there says that their question has to do with development, and so they decided to post there instead of Q/A or general section. If people with a lot of posts still does this, by accident or not, imagine how much work mods will have to do if anyone can post there and is new to the forum.

Moving to Q&A
What is this forum for? Did you guys just split roms and kernels? Very confused when I saw this earlier today and couldn't find anything with search so decided to ask. I know I am breaking rules however feel free to answer before deletion, or send a PM or something.
You're a Senior Member, and you knowingly broke the rules? Next time, ask what the purpose of the Q&A forum is. AND DO IT IN THE Q&A FORUM! Thread Reported.

I usually answer before telling that it is wrong section but it's pathetic that you knowingly did this.
There is a topic in general section for you that has answer to this.

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. I have the Verizon S4 rooted and would like to reply to some threads but only certain threads allow replies. Could somebody explain how this works? Thanks
I think you need tonl spend some time communicating in the other forums before you can use the dev forums. Maybe 25 posts or something. I forget. Its been a while

Before you can post in development section such as those for ROM's and other MOD's you will need to have at least 10 posts, I would highly recommend taking a look at this guide on the 10 post rule and the forum rules. If have any other questions let me know I'll be more then happy to help you out .
Okay thanks for the help
And also read rule 15 about where to post
Questions and help issues go in Q&A and Help section

Usually posting in the guide threads will help, also, it would help when it comes time to root and flash roms to read those.
Yes I have been on for two Yeats but can't post in the Dev forums yet....
