I thought of reposting this so that members in this forum may know how to apply as a Recognized Contributor. This is just a repost and some minor modification of what s.d.oconnor posted over at the General Forum
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).
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 Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Contributors, should you feel deserving of this title.

How can i apply?
Well like it says in the text above, you can apply for this title by sending a PM to any Senior Moderator (list of Senior Mods below).
Best way on how to apply through Private Message (PM)
When you are writing you application to a S-Mod you will need to include:
* A polite hello
* Your username with a link to your username, they will want to check your history.
* Why you think you you would make a good RC, including a little about your time on XDA.
* Links to your work including Guides, Ref, Roms, Projects, Apps E.T.C
*A thank you for their time and good bye (Manners are free)
Note:
Please note only apply once to one S-Mod, do not send 3 aplications to 3 diffrent S-Mods. Also be patient, the S-Mods are very busy people and have other work on XDA and in personal life.
Senior Moderators List
You can find the Senior Mods HERE
If you do get accepted as a RC 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 will or other RC's will help in anyway we can.
Good Luck with your application
P.S Don't forget to join our group made by s.d.oconnor if you get accepted.

Hi Moderator,
Don't take me otherwise. While I am surfing this forum, I can see hell lots of stupid things floating around. Some Rom threads are filing with stupid personal arguments. Lots of threads need to be close as thread's purpose has resolved. If you want I can point it out for you. we know you are doing your job and believe me you are good at it. What I request you is do some initiative to avoid these silly stuffs.
Senior Members,
it's kinda hard to maintain a forum for anyone. As our device a budget phone yet powerful, so we are having hell lots of user and their queries. So
Urge you please give some suggestions so that we can avoid spaming, can also be beneficial for new and senior members.
Aside to new users,
Guys keep your queries thread specific.
Thank you

+1 man. There should be an all in one frequent asked question sticky thread. Most users of the O1 are first time rooters so I don't blame them as much because I had my share of questions.

If the devs could moderate at least their own threads, it would be a different story altogether. Those ROM/kernel threads could be shrinked 80% in size and only useful stuff left.
(Still would not solve the useless junk elsewhere but one could ignore it.)
Dear moderator, could you kindly go through the major development threads (current ROMs, franco kernel) and wipe all the bloody noise outta there.
I will not use a report post function because about every second post is off-topic n00b crap that plain does not belong there, so your PM inbox would get full soon. Not to mention that apparently noone cares about the crippled "report post" function that was discussed in xda-general.
This forum is becoming seriously harmed by useless noise. Some action, please!!!

+1 dude... the forum needs a nice and gud cleaning....
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Since the new mod is soooo active at cleaning spam, I was wondering how to somehow clean XDA and get all useless **** deleted. Some people will say this thread is useless, but all of us can give links to our own or someone else's spam/old/useless thread. Lets make a resolution to clean XDA. Report all useless threads here till next two weeks. Then after that, mod can take a look at them and delete them if he believes they are no longer of any use
Actually it's the great idea. You have my support
Nice idea. This will also stop noobs from asking questions which have already been asked because they will be able to find threads more faster once spam threads are deleted.
Here are some threads which I believe are useless. Many of these threads are just questions and they should be in general section but people have posted them in themes and apps section

Its quite obvious by how our general section is being spammed we need a Q&A section, so i have made this post with the purpose of showing it to a senior mod with the power of creating this thread for us, simple agree to my poll above and maybe post a comment supporting this etc. and hopefully we will get new section

This, we're 72% of the way to a Q&A section and this device doesn't get enough activity to justify a Q&A section anyway... But that's just my opinion

Yes, I am aware that we would normally get one when we reach 10k however I cannot see us getting anywhere near this in the forseable future, we need 3000 more threads and this will not happen anytime soon (Especially as everyone is now using the thread by IAMAREEBJAMAL for questions, this isn't effecient or particularly easy way to help others but is suffecient for the time being to help keep our forum clean) our device is already old and isn't exactly active on XDA and so action must be taken to ask the generous moderators if they would kindly give us a Q&A section, and so I kindly ask everyone reading this to help vote for a Q&A thread so when this is presented to a senior mod etc. They will have a reason to help us out

100 posts to become Sr. Member. Do not spam or moderators will ban you.
You need to create really good guides (no spamming), you should be helpful, no flaming, no warez, no breaking rules, no bans etc. Then you apply for Recognized Contributor. They will check you profile. If they find you suitable then you become RC.
You can get signatures from Google search and Photoshop.
There is a thread where OP and his team make cool signatures for you.

Hi, please get to know the site better. There are threads and posts about every question you asked in the OP. One way to be an RC is to be proactive, to familiarize yourself with the site and to be helpful to the people in it.

You also need quite alot of posts to be RC... useful posts of course, no spam. I was in a bit of an uncertain area when I became RC, as you can see I don't have an awful lot of posts, but I'd say less than 500 and you'll probably get turned down. You should create some projects with other members to make a team, and you need to give help to multiple fora: So help in the fora for all your devices, and also try to help other members here in the Q&A section. When people are disagreeable, count to 10, take a deep breath, and try not to let your anger out on them . Basically you just need to throw yourself into the community, helping out wherever you can, creating really good guides, not spamming, keeping the peace without trying to be a mod, and just showing that you are contributing. If you're lucky then someone may just notice how helpful you're being and nominate you, which is how I became RC good luck.
