It's stupid that newbies must make 5 posts and browse for 4 hours. Here's why - page 11.

ive seen some of the boards without requirements theres so much spam you would think its red neck new years so
if we have to hve 5 posts to keep the spamming down so im all for it

My vote is for kind of annoying. Why not add a date variable into the status, as in, 'your account is over 4 months old and you've been lurking forever, we'll let you post...'

just a thought, mods.

I'll chime in too and up my post count by 1. Grin

I think the restrictions are great in that they help keep the spam counts down on the other areas. My only fear is what happens if you overcome the restrictions, but then let your activity lag (due to holiday, everything working fine (ha!), or other life issues.) Do you get demoted and have to overcome the restrictions again?

Hello, all. Of course I agree with autor. For example, I don't need to be part of community. I need just to reply one "support" topic with one service. Maybe in future I will message in bitcointalk everyday. But now - I need just to send ONE message.

I don't mind having to post several times. Over the course of the few required posts, moderators and the others in the bitcoin forum community could tell if you'll add anything helpful to the community or just here trolling.

I agree. Just because you haven't been on this site, doesn't mean you know nothing about bitcoin. To say otherwise is ridiculous.

Hi all,
i'm Newly registered here and find this scheme also ridiculous.
Especially since I actually wanted to issue a warning about a bitcoin site which apparently is not able to pay

However, I wanted to first post in the relevant thread and receive feedback from the Admin directly. But I can not because I could be a spammer ^^

but here reading for hours and write just to be able to warn the community, means that the comunity needs no warnings.
In this sense see again and have fun with the "non-freedom of speech".

Even though its a pain, as I have been reading the forums for awhile ..just never had anything to say, I can understand why the limits are in place.

Think of it like initiation. It's a bit hard to physically haze you online so mental hazing is all they have left.

It's really not that bad. If you actually want to participate here then you won't have any problems getting out of the newbie jail.

I agree. If you are annoyed because you can't post your loan request or your sophomoric rant, then you are not ready to post in the general forums. Spend sometime reading and searching instead. You will likely find that it has all been talked about before.

It would be a genuinely annoying and redundant rule if the rest of the site did not participate in the Newbies section. That's fortunately not the case though and there's an abundance of topics to make 5 posts about.

Kind of agree with the sentiment of the thread but at the same time I understand why it's necessary. The only reason that I registered on this forum was to post in a thread about 7970 LTC hashrate to share how I was able to increase my hashrate from 500KH/s to 700KH/s in the event that someone else fell for the XFX 7970 noob trap.

The problem is that as a noob, I haven't got anything that useful to contribute. And all the stupid questions, as we are constantly reminded, have already been answered somewhere. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Grammar could do with a bit of tidying up around here though. Would that be a useful contribution for the next few posts?

Maybe. But it's simple to get out 5 posts then lurk around in other parts of the forum that actually interest you wihout posting and bam - you're out of newbie jail.
