Newbie status sucks bigtime
Hard? No. Mildly frustrating? Yes.
Prolly spent here 100+ hours lurking and now have to fake browse for few hours and post to be able to get out of n00b status, oh well :>
Ive been logged in for 10 days and have now 6 posts and cannot post anywhere else buy noob section :/
Yes it is very hard
check
noobs for a reason
Came here to farm comment :-D hope it doesn't bother anyone... and to answer question: NO, I don't think that it is that hard
I do see value in enforcing rules like those to avoid spam. If 4 hours and 5 posts sounds tough, try other some other forums with tougher rules!
It's not that it's hard, it's just that I don't like to contribute low value posts (including this one) in a subforum in order to get to the higher value posts that I may want to contribute. But I fully understand the need, to prevent spammers.
1st newbie message from me=p
Quite interesting learning about all the different multi-faceted people joining each day in the Newbie section.
i have newbie status ......... but if something has to be done ... it just has to be done and there's no reason to bitch about that, 4 hours is nothing
Now that I'm out of Newbie status, I'll update and say it's not really that bad as long as you're not super eager to comment on something, such as in the marketplace. Browsing a little at a time over the course of four or five days made it not seem like the requirement was difficult at all.
So hang in there, Newbies. It's not that bad.

nope still a newbie after 4 hours
Have you waited at least 10 minutes?

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)
seems like a hassle
I see several threads at least made every day about how to get out of newbie status and similar things because of the requirement of being online for at least 4 hours while posting at least 5 posts. I was wondering is it really that hard to get out of newbie status? I mean if you really care, spend 10 minutes and post 5 quick posts and then leave your computer on for 4 hours and refresh say every 15 minutes while staying logged in? I don't get why so many people are worried about sneaking out of newbie status.
And anyway, I can honestly say that once I came out of newbie status, while it was interesting at first and I browsed the other sub forums some, the newbie sub forum is still the sub forum which I spend the most of my time in compared to the other sub forums.
