I registered months ago, but only now visited to give feedback for bitcoinwisdom.com. I've probably wasted a half hour because of this idiotic policy. So I have to make a few posts on this board to make posts elsewhere? Here's your post right here:

I think it's the admin(s) you want to direct your fucks at, not the mods.
You're right.

The newbies policy forces newbies to spam off topic posts on threads like this one.  Merry Christmas!

It doesn't force them. If you can't think of anything constructive to post, then that's your issue.

I really can't see the issue in waiting 4 hours.

It's a minor difficulty that you could easily shrug your shoulders at - after that time there are no limits so it really is a small price to pay in my opinion.

Same here, so damn annoying. It should be 60 seconds or 120 seconds maximum, not 360 seconds its so bad. I'm glad I have 28 activity now its gone.
Yeah that's really to long.

Just wait it out. the time posting limits get lower the more activity you get.

i also just registered to try to pn a vendor on here regarding a purchase of mine
(well he possibly talks about my purchase, i'm not a 100% sure)
i'll just wait and read my way through some forum posts which i haven't read yet.

i only found out about cryptocurrencies 2 or so weeks ago, but it's a highly interesting topic
can't wait to learn more

Yeah lame policy. I want to post in the Catcoin thread to enter the competition but this dumb newbie crap means I'll miss it.

Rather than telling me I cannot post, it tells me I made a post in the last 360 seconds, which is a lie. Annoying

Like making new friends!
I also agree. I am totally blind, and wish to reply to certain posts, and private message developers about accessability concerns, and am unable to do this because of this policy!

First I am a newbie here, but I am not a newbie in the digital world. The reason I want to register and post is all the sudden I have a good idea or want to talk to a very interesting post. However, the so called newbie policy killed the passion.

I understand you must have some reasons to restrict new registered user, from what I read trollers? but the benefit of saving some work for mods does not match the loss of a new passionate bitcoiner(or altcoiner).

I think the spirit of bitcoin is freedom and equal opportunity, but the so called newbie policy does not fit it.

I strongly suggest the forum remove this policy or at least make it reasonable. There are many other ways to stop trollers, like setting the post frequency, etc. Not like this!

Thanks for listening, hope more and more people join the family of bitcoin(or altcoin) family!

Merry Xmas to all!  Smiley

If the policy killed your passion you had no passion to start with. You wanted to get rich quick, but a noobie policy stopped you? I love the policy, it takes longer for noobs to join a otherwise serious discussion. Maybe we don't actually like it when 90% of the posts in any thread is from a noob who "have faith in this coin, yay!!!" Smiley

I totally support you on this, as I just registered to reply on a specific topic.

Anyway, as the number of new users are growing I guess it will take a lot of time for the mods to actually go through and approve new members? Are we talking hours, days or even weeks..?

Stick around for a few days. Make some posts. The more you post, the more the restrictions lighten up. This actually happens very quickly.

I have a coin logo that I want to submit and I have no way to share it...

Kind of annoying, contest might be closed before I get the chance to post it.

Here is some important information about the forum. This is not a rulebook or agreement.

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.

At the begining my opinion was near of the OP
but after learned that Only 4 hours was good to post i agrree with the policy

BUT notice the quote !
it was said nowhere precisely how much time
if the newbies cant know how can they truely accept the policy
please be more precisely

happy christmas

Knowledge is Power
I'm not offended but annoyed. Does this policy help with trolls/spammers?
