Topic: Is Newbie Status Really That Hard? - page 10. (Read 20935 times)
still....
No.
There should be less hours.
Still waiting... 
Well there is a reason, I need to post on another section.
I guess I will just have to wait...

SO close yet so far
I'm mostly in agreement with the other people saying "I wish I'd known" so that my time spent curiously browsing the other boards would have counted in my favor. I only made an account when I wanted to reply and was surprised by the Newbie restrictions. Hopefully the services I hoped to barter haven't gone to another poster by the end of my four hours.
I will make sure that I warn other people about the Newbie restriction when I direct them to this board, though. I have at least one friend browsing right now, and his own Newbie status would probably be less than painful if he was building up board time while lurking.

Newbies suffer "anxiety"... LOL
What's a "Newbie"? 
First Post!

First post.
I've been reading this forum for over 18 months but never had anything useful to say. I signed up to claim bounty for adapting cpuminer to scrypt-jane. I need to make 5 posts before I can reply to that thread. I don't like this very much, because I have to make five useless posts before I can post something useful that people actually wanted. I tend to think it makes post quality worse because it does nothing to stop people who have a lot of nothing to say.

+1
The time logged on counter seems to stop counting if inactive too...
Hey, if this gate-keeper method is truly effective, than the quality of the posts should be at least marginally better outside the newb area than inside the newb area. But I haven't really noticed a difference. Hmmmmm...
Two more minutes, and I can post where I want! And by now I've discovered there's plenty to keep me busy just in the newbie zone!

I feel like i am not a noob, i joined just to answer someones post they were having trouble with something... Now i gotta try and make 5 meaningful posts... hmmm 
I wish I had registered a long time ago, because I have already spent hours browsing the forums as a guest. Oh well, it shouldn't take too long to get out of this newbie state.
Yeah, the 4 hours of browsing is kind of annoying.
There should be less hours.
I hate that I have to browse around for 4 freaking hours. The minimum post isn't that bad. That's normal and easy to get.
I'm not sure if I have some setting wrong in one of my browsers or something, because just browsing around isn't doing it for me! I actually have to keep making comments... I wouldn't complain in a comment, except it's killing two birds with one stone.I hate that I have to browse around for 4 freaking hours. The minimum post isn't that bad.

Hmmm, lurking is giving me zero time! What, do I have to post every 5 minutes to keep my logged in clock moving? The closer I get to 4 hrs, the slower my clock moves... I feel like I'm being punked.
