Auto Refresh Plus, and go for a walk, when you came back a few hours logged in have passed...

That's why the newbie restriction is stupid if everyone have to do that...

I am having trouble sending my filler posts. It says that I have already posted 360 seconds a go, bit I havn't. How can I complain about the minimum post requirements while also increasing my number of posts?

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.

+1

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 understand perfectly. However saying you must post 5 times encourages spam posts. I'd rather just stick with reddit anyway.

Reddit does the same thing, IIRC.

I may write code in exchange for bitcoins.
I tend to agree with the OP on this one. 

In fact, another thing which degrades the forums is the selling of sig space.  I get paid for posting many times per month.  Thus I say stupid things like this post.  That's life, I guess.
So you're complaining that you get payed for writing nonsense?
What's wrong with you?
Not complaining that I get paid.  Simply admitting that me writing nonesense for pay lowers the quality of the board.

I'm assuming it's just an anti-spam measure. It's a nominal amount of time and effort for someone new to do this, but it's more of a bitch for a spammer or a bot to do.

Finally made an account, and now stuck in this walled garden that is the newbie forum.

Soon I will be free!

These rules are too strict, it should only be 2 hours and 3 posts.

It's a free market...

The restrictions that are in place are pretty meagre so I don't understand why people still complain..

yeah what that guy said...

Some people just like to roam around the forums for hours... Its a shame in order to reply to anything other than these posts is sad.

I've been roaming around these forums for about a year now created an account recently and now have to post crap like this to finally get actively involved.

I was stumped by this rule.  I registered a month ago and couldn't figure out why I couldn't post.

I realize it's at the bottom of the signup form.  Guess I should have read the whole page, eh?

However, it would be a nice touch to move the Newbies forum to the top of the forum list for newbies only.

I completely missed the fact that there's a newbies forum further down the page.

Just a thought to ease the pain for future newbies.

They should make it more obvious. A lot of newbies have difficulty finding this section.
