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.

so here i am waiting.
I have something important to say in one post, but i can not because of this limit.
Like my situation. There are some pros and cons about these restrictions, but if you think about them a bit they aren't that worse and they have a reason. So we have to deal with it. I have something important to say in one post, but i can not because of this limit.

I find it a bit annoying as well.
I feel as though I am forced to make up whatever crap I can think of just so that I can make a post.
But thanks for the thread, you gave me a place to achieve my 1 post.
I hope this post counts as substantial enough..

I can see how this can be inconvenient but I guess at certain point in time it was a necessity to avoid spam threads.
Looking forward to step out of the newbie jail.

As a newbie I think that it is a good idea to have some restrictions.
There are some forums out in internet land that are just mudslinging boards.
Bitcointalk is well organised and that is probably in part due to the sign up restrictions.
Plus you wouldn't want technical dinosaurs like me posting all over the place...

Well , i'm probably the only one that thinks the limits should be 50 posts and 12 hours.
I would hope so...

Time for another newbie to increase his post count. : )
I generally agree with this, but if a forum, community or whatever wants to have new members it must also change to accommodate those members. Trite as the saying is, not everyone is the same, but they won't necessarily remove value by joining and effecting change.
OK so a newbie but I'm more pragmatic about this.
Any community, on-line or otherwise, that's worth joining or participating in comes with it's own rules and own culture. The analogy to joining a family is may be stretching it a bit but the point being that if you as the joiner see value in joining an existing community then that is generally because they have something you don't. Unless of course you are just joining to bestow yourself upon them
I think those of us who join need to play by the rules of entry or else not bother to join, free choice. There are plenty of other forums you see that end up with a high degree of pointless posts and spam, it just makes it more hassle for anyone trying to find the useful info and exchange it with others.
On the upside, thank you to the OP who provided a thread for us newbies to discuss this and increase our post count by +1

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.

I'd personally make it twenty posts, and twenty-four hours.
Back on topic: Yes, most newbies have no idea why that's there, and if they could see, the answer is already in the Newbie section.
I just got here and I still agree with it. The last thing you want is a bunch of hypersensitive trolls ruining a forum.
November 19, 2013, 02:30:36 PM
Well, english isn't my first language so.. here's my first post (probably there is something i written wrong )

The Post & Time Limit are ok in my opinion. Another way would be that your new posts could be deleted by 'old' users if 2 or more mark them as useless/spam/whatever.
There is a Java Forum where you have to answer some programming questions and stuff to even be able to register (have not seen a spambot there in years)
I shall enjoy my 4 hours on the "newbie" Board

About the complains about the newbee restrictions - I don't really see the problem.
Stay online for 4 hours and make some post some. Once you are over the restriction, it better for everyone, It will really keep spamers away. I "think" the tone on this forum is much more clean than other forums where any 14y kid can make profile and ruin things for others.

Hi everybody. 1st post
He has a point about the spam though. I've already been on other bitcoin forums for a while, why shouldn't i be able to add something to a technical discussion or experiences with a hardware manufacturer?
