Some good questions do get asked in the newbie forum so all members have basic knowledge before jumping into the other forums. That said, it clearly encourages spam posts which is a bit sad. No perfect answers in life..

not to bump this thread again, but as newbie who just got buried. This thread isn't even relevant anymore as the requirements have changed.
@MiningBuddy, @tysat, can we get this thread closed??

When have regulations changed? It's because you passed the 5 post limit that it's different for you now, it's still the same for newbies who just join.
Yes. The regs have changed. See quote below.
It's stupid that the thread keeps getting bumped. Here's why.
You only need to make 1 post, and wait for 4 hours to be jr member.

Why do people keep complaining about a nonexistent rule?

Though the restrictions are troubling when all you want to do is PM someone, I appreciate them. I was able to find most of the answers to my questions in a matter of a few hours. If this restriction was not in place, I believe we would have an issue with already answered questions being posted to the forum. This restriction does enable spam into the "newbie" section, but eliminates it in the important sections of the forum. Making users search for their answers is a very smart rule.

Imho there are a lot of silent users just browsing the forums without creating an account. I've got a dozen of community sites where I am doing so. I think there are better ways to prevent malicious and careless usage.

Man I'm blown away by how much attention this thread got. I remember wondering how many posts of whining and complaining would go on and boy I blown away by the size of this thread lol.

So, two scammers walk into a bar. One says "hey, give me all your money" and the other says
"but I already have all your money!"
The moral of the story you ask? I don't know.
But I agree with the 5 post and 4 hours rule... even if I have been lurking the forums on and off for like 2 years.

it's to avoid having someone opening the tab and just refreshing now and then and getting into the site even with multiple accounts. anyway I think it has already been lowered and at 1 post only now which is quite easy to accomplice even without spamming.

It is realy ......
December 12, 2013, 08:05:09 AM
I didn't notice the restriction at all. Posted a few things in Newbie, read a ton of topics in the other sections. Watched my miners slowly mine - watched a film... replied to a post that wasn't in the newbie section.
Somewhere in all of that the four hour restriction passed.

I agree. I think one minute is enough. This restriction is very annoying. Long time lurker, decided to sign up today.

Well, newbie restrictions have their pros and cons... simply live with it like we all do...

Seems like I've been here hours but so far I'm only at 1 hours and 51 minutes. Badtimes.
December 12, 2013, 07:28:12 AM
i think it should be like that to ignore people just trying to post everywhere their advertisements.

The restrictions on this forum are sub-par. The part where you have to browse for four hours is kind of reasonable and understandable.
However, having to post 5 times is ridiculous. The reason being is that it encourages spam posts. If you go to the newbies section most of is spam. The reason being is people just spam posts in order to post in the other forums.
This is a terrible idea. Now I have to sit here for four hours before released my project, and I have to make tons of these stupid pointless posts.
Thanks bitcointalk.

I have to agree. I made account today just to clarify something in altcoin thread and having to sit through all the crap going on here is killing me on inside.
By the way dont worry about trolls calling you noob. It´s rather cute when basement dwellers turn into snobs, cause "they are totally veteran here".

Not a bad idea...I've just realized this rule 2:35 after browsing. Keeps me learning!
