Agreed. I also have a lot of spammy posts done while waiting.

These restrictions are better for newbies. Because you can find most of the stuff you are looking for has already been discussed.

I agree with you. But i guess rules are rules.

Oh the I'm-a-part-of-the-system-and-will-just-follow-the-rules mentality. Obey!

It's a shame u don't understand why there are 5 post newb restrictions put in place.  

Long story short, we all had to deal with them for a good reason.  If it were up to me the post count would go up.

Just because everyone had to do it does not mean it makes sense.

I  am too in the same boat, I don't know how many posts do you need to get out of newbie section

You will need 5 posts and 4 hours of study time! Welcome to the center of the Bitcoin Galaxy™!

Wish I'd thought about this before... I've been browsing off and on for two months, and I've only logged about 26 minutes, lol

I would like to agree with you all! Being as things are you won't mind my post to help me out of cell block newb so I can actually post on the things I need.

While I am here if there are any users from UK please comment on my idea of "Bitcoin Swap Meet"
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/uk-bitcoin-swap-meet-225164

Also if you know how to fix the pain in the bum bitgem wallet.

I do understand why you have this restriction but it will only cuase a lot of pointless posts. Should start a thread so pointless posts can be burned up!

Thanks.

This shows that you not only didn't bother to find that info (readily available in the "NEWBIE README" sticked topic), but you didn't even read this thread itself.

Sad.

Hehe - I meant interesting in the context of this thread, whiling away the time until the ES VI comes out and/or my BFL order arrives. Something like that.

Yes newbies are fun (I was one myself, but 14 hours ago, where will I will be in just a few days from now?), but Dragonborn Cymru, not Skyrim (though I do play, but not so keen on the thief class, brought up with all the wrong (traditional) values, how times change).

I've commented on BFL just recently. Hope that's an early order you have.

And I really ought to be in bed (this time last night I was Brand New, and its showing).

I thought your fourth post was interesting, by the way.

For some values of interesting. But you're up late (me too, supposed to be in bed but this is far too much fun). Dragonborn myself but Alan's my hero too.

The only reason I don't like it is because I prefer to lurk and don't want to comment. I'm only commenting here to get past the 5 posts. I don't mind the 4 hour restriction.

I don't get the reasoning. The first part (you prefer to lurk and don't want to comment) makes perfect sense to me. The second part (you are only commenting to get past the 5 posts) doesn't because it appears to be inconsistent with the first part. You can lurk forever if you like, without ever having to post - the only reason to make five posts is so that you can post in other areas, which is of course not lurking. No big deal - just puzzling.

Yeah, I am new to this so I don't really have too much to say. Just kind of posting a few questions in the noob area so I can posts elsewhere when I like.

Lol may as well get my posting started.... I've been lurking along time can't be bothered to post usually as the posts want to post in are for the adults in the adult section of the forum.
