It would be nice to inform us via email that us "newbies" should goto the newbies forum to be able to start posting.  I have been trying for days to figure this one out.

Had to get into a Chatbox on Cryptsy to get the info.

Anyone else want an email to inform them to start posting in newbies?

You should have read the newbie readme. Email notifications are completely pointless because it should be obvious.

Happens to all of us. Who wants to read a wall of text in a sea of useless data...infact, who reads anymore? A picture is worth a thousand words.



It is the second line of the terms of use. You would have to be looking away from your computer in order to not see it.

I don't think I've ever read a TOS.

I don't usually, but come on... This is the big and scary TOS:

RESTRICTIONS FOR NEW MEMBERS

After registering, you will be unable to post in any section except "newbies" until you have spent some time on the forum and have published a few posts.

If you are registering to ask a question, please ask it in the newbies section. Do not wait to ask it just because you must post it in "newbies": the question is very likely to have already been asked. If you don't end up getting good responses, you can ask it again elsewhere after you are established, or you can move the entire topic.

If you are commenting on Bitcoin, use your newbie wait time to read more about Bitcoin. If you are criticizing Bitcoin, find similar criticism using the search tool to see which points have already been covered. A good use of your newbie wait time is reading Satoshi's old posts.

This is why we have Attorneys.
Those things are usually written by lawyers for other lawyers and I'm quite sure they'll be more than happy to show me where I've transgress, for a fee of course......"In my defense your Honor, I have ADHD."

You should be more careful, because it does not take ages to figure this out

It would be even more convenient if this information was placed right on the registration page, that way you would see it even before you sign up and there's no risk it could be lost in your spam folder. Oh wait, it already is. Maybe we need to have a checkbox or something you have to click on to confirm you've actually read it. Oh wait, we do that too.

RESTRICCIONES PARA NUEVOS MIEMBROS

Despues del registro no tendras la posibilidad de postear en ninguna otra sección que "Novatos", solo podras hacerlo despues de pasar un tiempo en el foro y publicar algunos posts en la misma.

Si te registras para hacer una pregunta, por favor hazlo en la sección "Novatos". No esperes preguntar solo porque tienes que hacerlo en "Novatos": es muy probable que tu pregunta haya sido hecha anteriormente. A cabo de un tiempo si no recibes buenas respuestas podras preguntar en otra sección en cuanto tu cuenta ya no esta limitada, o podras mover el hilo entero en la sección adecuada.

Si comentas sobre Bitcoin, usa tu tiempo de novato para leer algo mas sobre Bitcoin. Si criticas Bitcoin encuentra criticas similares usando la herramienta de busqueda para averiguar que puntos han sido ya cubiertos. Un buen uso para tu tiempo de novato seria leer los posts antiguos de Satoshi.


RESTRIÇÕES PARA NOVOS USUÁRIOS

Depos de se registrar, você não poderá postar nada em nenhuma seção exceto "newbies" até que você tenha gasto algum tempo no fórum
e publicado alguns postsos


Se vocẽ for registrado e fazer uma pergunta, por favor pergunte na área de newbies. Não fique sem perguntar só por que você estará
postando somente na sessão de newbies: é muito comum a questão já ter sido feita. Se você não conseguiu obter uma boa resposta, você pode perguntar novamente em outro lugar depois que estiver passado pelo período de 'newbie', ou você pode mover o tópico inteiro para outro lugar.

Se você está comentando sobre Bitcoin, use seu tempo de novato para ler mais sobre Bitcoin. Se você está criticando o Bitcoin, encontre críticas semelhantes, usando a ferramenta de busca para ver quais os pontos que já foram abordados. Um bom uso do seu tempo de espera como novato poderia ser bem gasto lendo as mensagens antigas de Satoshi

But clearly, we need to do more to make these guidelines more accessible. What if we put them in a sticky thread in the Newbies sections, on the theory that newbies might get the idea to check out that section for information that applies to them? Oh wait. Never mind.
