Topic: Is Newbie Status Really That Hard? - page 2. (Read 20935 times)
really in the modern era I would have thought that forum software would be advance enough to combat spam!
I understand why they do it. It protects the other boards while giving new users a chance to get known.
It's not so hard; it's just that we want it NOW. On the internet 4 hours is a small eternity. Most of us don't have attention spans that long.

It still is one of the best ways to kill off forum spam.
I wouldnt say it kills it off... just causes more of it to fall in a particular sub-forum rather than spread all over.

It's not really hard, just playing around for a night 
It's not so hard, just post few messages and you're done.
As I kept going to the mining section for software configuration issues it took me a while to find my way to the newbie section and I found out that I couldn't post immediately. Luckily I found everything I needed without having to post, but it could have been a small problem to me.
I think its kind of stupid. If you don't want spammers just implement recaptcha.
Newb status is a rough patch but necessary for a while.
This is the first forum where I have encountered something like it.
Seeing as I only register once I want to post something (i.o.w. I have already read the forum for some time), this forces me to hammer out 5 posts on other topics before I can do so (this is one of them
).
Since I have also already seen that it in no way hinders trolls, I don't really get the advantage it has, apart from wasting everybodies time...

a little frustating
It is funny to see all these short sentences in the newbies thread
I like it and i don't having to wait to be able to post outside i understand for bots and everything but there should be other verification processes that could let you bypass it and let you move up
I don't mind the newbie status. In reality, it's just a label.
And so begins my quest, upon this first post in my first hour.
It's worth it to be an active part of the community, especially with new coins releasing lately
it is very hard
Newbie status sucks bigtime
There is such a thing as newbie status for a reason. It is necessary to get to know the forum first and contribute a bit to the forum in order to post so the people who made this forum can prevent spam.
lol newbie status... I've been here for years but never post and today I wanted to post but didn't have the 5 so... #3 here
I'm excited for the world outside
