had to search to find this thread to find out the newbie rules. it can be solved with a small warning message in profile section.
It tells you before you sign up. I guess like most people just skim past this info

Signed up to contact a pool owner.
Can't contact him in any other way.
It's so annoying you have to wait for such a long time before I can actually send him a PM.
This stuff also promotes spam, as you must send a minimum of 5 messages, ugh.

If you want me to post your details in a thread just let me know, but you only have to wait 4 hours or so, so it's not a massive issue.

I agree, the restriction seems silly, but stops people asking silly questions and some SPAM bots I guess.
Just such a shame that it takes a long time to get to be able to post.
I only signed up to participate in a GB, but instead I have to make silly posts like this

Yes.
This stimulates spam.
It's too bad.

My My, aren't you special!

I guess it also has the benefit of keeping all the misinformation and "n00b" type questions in one spot. I've been lurking here several weeks as well, and all in all, this board is pretty good, IMO.

I started today, while I was reading the forum already for a month. I had no clue, that I have to make several posts. Just googled. It is probably stated in the agreement when you register, no?
Yeah, it is. It's also in the Newbie readme: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbie-readme-177133
Sooo silly...I have been following the forum for momths and still cannot write.
So I'm writing now. Hope that's enough...
It should be... in four hours' time.

In my opinion those newbie restriction are pushing lame posts. Ive read the forum for years now. Some days ago i registered an account to post something and now i see this newbie forum full of useless posts. It's spreading misinformation and probably is not helping anyone.
Welcome to the internet. Never truly believe anything you read from the internet. Remember that most people aren't qualified in that particular area and no very little about it. Although, I hear a lot of people complaining about the restrictions and I must reply with the same answer as always. There is a reasons for the restrictions. It prevents spammers, scammers and general clogging up of the forum.

I've been reading these forums for several weeks now, but not yet posted. I've learned heaps.
Groups Buys is a great section to get into hardware at reasonable cost (as opposed to eBay
) I've picked myself up a Drillbit board :https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/drillbit-system-miners-avalon-range-available-now-10499-266235.
I've also been trading on CEX.io: buying and selling GHS is the way to make bitcoin there, not mining - as I also learned here.
So there's my first post, now to wait 4 hours. Not too difficult, huh?

The one hour rule isn't terribly onerous. Neither is the 4 hour wait. The 45s delay bugs and 360s wait time error (despite not having made a previous post) is a bit of a pain though.
Oh well, 4 hour wait here I come.

right here with you. Been browsing this forum for ages, now to get through the newbie period so I can start contributing.
