It would have been no problem if I had know it upfront. I respect the greater good, but now it just comes falling from the sky. Paying for an account is not my thing. It would be something for scammers.
If you're going to have a good reputation here on the forum, you're going to become a higher ranked member anyways. Might as well do it now; you'll also be able to learn about the forum and members here. Becoming a Jr. Member isn't hard; you have 4 weeks to go. Take those 4 weeks to get to know BCT.

Can someone explain what is exactly the purpose of this?

to stop the abuse.

Can't the newbie simply post the images in the second post Huh

no. they need to wait until they have reached 30 activity. I think you're confusing newbies for brand new members.

The forum is getting weird.  Roll Eyes

no. you're getting weirder.  Tongue jk

Why are coin announcements so special that they do need pics?

Because they have to look good. It is the first impression that people have of the coin. We did all this hard design work for nothing now. The good have to suffer for the bad.

Lots of coins (most?) have more work into their design than in the coin itself. Wrapping a piece of crap in gold doesn't change the nature of the crap inside.

I agree, but that is not always the case.

----------Snip is the way to live----------------

That is even worse.
Why so, I guess most people trying to level up through posts, will be bored after some time, and quit the spamming. Can you explain, how its worse?

I want to announce my new coin but now I cannot do it. Without pictures there is no succes. People will say that we did not pay attention to the thread while we had hired a designer that delivered great graphics for our thread. I do understand the other side of the story where lots of spam is sent.
Well I don't see any problem with being here for 6 weeks(nearly 3 more weeks in your case) , and you want to announce the coin on a forum without being familiar with the forum? And secondly, hate to tell you but there are way too many shit-coins out there.
Thirdly , not recommending or anything but you can get a Jr. member for 0.005 btc, if you are that impatient.
And lastly, do you even know in what level of spam the whole forum would be if activity was plainly dependent on posts? Thats the only thing stopping account farmers to stop posting non-sense posts here. So its a "For the greater good" story here.

It would have been no problem if I had know it upfront. I respect the greater good, but now it just comes falling from the sky. Paying for an account is not my thing. It would be something for scammers.

Good news, images on recent posts link were pretty bothersome.

Also... gay porn? WTF is up with that? Glad I never came across it, really can't see why such a thing would fit a speculation thread, or the whole forum even.

I understand that the abuse is not good, but we need images in our coin annoucements. Maybe we have to find an alternative forum to post our annoucements?

no difference. you'll have to post a link anyway if your goal is to let bitcointalk users know about whatever that you're announcing.

I think the trend will be to skip bitcointalk for annoucements. You do not leave another option. Having to post 30 messages to become junior is a bad idea for your forum. It will cause more moderation work since people will start to post crap to reach the 30 posts. It will cost 1.5 hours at least to do that.
Actually they don't, you have to wait for at least 6 weeks to become a Jr. member(according to activity periods), so doesn't matter how much you post, you gotta wait 6 weeks.

That is even worse.

I do not mind if altcoins would skip Bitcointalk.

To entice people into a world of financial wonder of course.
