Its very reasonable and there for people's protection. Most people never get hacked or anything until they get involved with bitcoins. There's some straight up assholes here.
Agree with you 100%

Come on . 5 post and browse for 4 hours not a hard thing to do

Everybody knows that newbies posts their "opinion" just to break the newbie's prison

It's been very refreshing and illuminating reading through all of your personal opinions on the new member restrictions. /sarcasm

Same here: I've lurked for a lot, now I've seen an user who sell btc with a good price -just want to buy it- but i need to post and wait, it's a bit annoying, but I can understand

While I can see how the post limiting to this subforum for new people can prevent spammers and force people new to Bitcoins to read through information more and figure things out a little bit before invading other parts of the forum it can be quite annoying in other aspects. For example the main reason I joined this forum was to share some information inside of the Armory subforum which I thought would be useful for them, but because of being forced to post inside of here the information/post was almost immediately buried due to the high rate of posts/moderation in here plus the information would almost certainly not be useful to people just starting out.

I don't mind making 5 posts (well, 4 after this!). One thing I'm concerned about is the 4 hours browsing.
Why? I tend to lurk, like I did here. I've already read hours and hours before I felt the need to register to post something. Will those hours previous
to registration count? Probably not.
That said, no reason to complain, just meet the requirements and move on.

10 posts sounds like a good limit
August 25, 2013, 06:54:33 PM
I don't understand this rule at all. I'm just trying to get in contact with a specific user, they should at least allow messaging for newbies. Is the check on 5 posts automated?

Slightly OT but related to general usage of site, my lil android would really appreciate next and previous buttons. PIA to touch the small page numbers...
Search needs some help too. It is fine to limit frequency for performance reasons but search results should be part of bread crumbs and allowed to be redisplayed without the 90 second rule kicking in....

First off, great site with a wealth of information providing way more than 4 hours of browsing so time requirement not really an issue. Five posts no biggy either.
General policy implemented by an elitest group who have 'gotten it' aimed at a group of n00bs who have not, kinda lame. Thankfully most sites do not embrace such a draconian approach of attempting to control fresh blood to their ranks. Blood the site depends on if it wants to continue to grow...

think the forum is old enough to prove this concept as conceptful.
nevertheles you can always improve, so why not trust the new users more..?

Its all but simple that every Moderator would like to maintain some standards and quality regarding their forums. I dont seem to find any issue at all especially as their are many other forums whose rules are much more strict.
August 25, 2013, 12:31:45 PM
Still a better idea than Twilight

The 5 post requirement is necessary to protect against exploits and build trust in the community, among several other exploits, there are thousands of forums littered with spam for seo gains crowding such forum resource with less than useful information. Rules are made to help the community.

I'm annoyed by this too, but I discovered that you can send a PM after making 1 post. I needed to send a PM but I couldn't, so I was glad the restriction was lifted immediately.

If it helps kill spammers and scammers then im all for it, wont take long to get past the count with all the content in here.
cheers

Could make a vote from all members to see if it is popular, otherwise speak to the forum owner(s).

5 posts isn't much. If someone wants to spam he will do it anyway.
