It's not a way of getting rid of spam... but it's a way of significantly reducing it, and it works.

And think about it... it's not THAT annoying, is it? I mean, really... what's 4 hours? It's half a working day, it's a short night's sleep, it's two films.

Stop whining about nothing - the rule does more good than bad.

Then you wake up and you find that you have to keep clicking for non-stop 4 hours, not just leaving your browser open for 4 hours, and you'll get back here cussing why is that happening. Huh!

As if people don't have a life! People have been lurking here for as long as the board was created and I couldn't remember for the life of me what username and what email I used to register on here a couple of years ago!

I posted in the mining threads and never logged in again, which is why I got even frustrated, and if there was a process to retrieve your account by stating your Country, and Date of Birth, that would be amazing.

HI everyone, not sure what the rationale is behind it but if it helps here is my first post on btct.

I really posted here because I felt frustrated and I didn't continue posting, rather I closed my browser out of frustration.

However, reading such posts of "as you wish, and here is my 1st post" cracks me up and almost fell off my chair. Epic!

A bit annoying - yes, but rules are rules and reasons are reasons!

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.

Didn't know there was a 5 post requirement. Here is my 2nd post

Why is there an inconsistency between this thread, which says 5 posts and 4 hours... and This post which seems to indicate that you only need 1 post and 4 hours o_o

I co-sign this!

It just doesn't feel right, rather they should've limited what to do or don't do as a new member like exchanging big BTC amounts from the beginning of something, but the 5 posts thing is just non-comprehensible.

I said the new members and not the newbies, because it's not necessary that every new member is a newbie in the BTC world.

*Sigh*

Maybe in 4 hours those who know nothing will have time to learn about history being made and will post somenthing really useful.

Silliest idea I've ever seen. I forum in which members can't post. Duh.
Now there's a stupid bug in which I can't reply to my own post, even though it I haven't posted anything for over 12 hours it says I posted less than 360 seconds ago!

Joining this forum because this forum has a group of high intelligence posters that I would want to communicate with. As this is my intended purpose, the requirements would not really matter.

I believe Bitcoin will be an important chapter in our lives to come in the next few years, be it for good or for worse.

I've been using bitcoins for months as well, and browsing these forums for ages, but just never thought to start an account.  Now that I actually have something insightful to post, I cannot do it!  Sigh...hope this post qualifies me for release.

Happy bitcoining fellow newbies.

It's not a stupid idea, but it is very annoying you have to wait. Especially when there's threads you want to contribute to.

Common, it's only four hours ,and  it's not like you have the solution to save the world from collapse which it's happening in 3.5 hours.
