Please do not post "negative" comments, like...."Tell him to get a real job...etc. etc" {Believe me, we tried}

Sorry, but to be honest, these kind of "negative" comments are the most realistic suggestion.
Your son really need to understand that he can't be relying on his parents forever...

Yeah, but he can lean on him for a bit. Which I`m sure majority 90% in america already do.

Don't spam. Don't scam. Make one post a day.
And you will reach member status in 2 months. Smiley

does any know if they had these rules like this when they first started I imagine not since forums want traffic.

Don't spam allways was a rule. Don't scam was allways a rule aswell. As far as the time limit between posts goes: When I started a year ago the rules for newbies were: You only can post in the Beginners and Help Section until you gathered 5 posts and 4 hours of being logged in AND you had a time limit between posts.

As far as the "Make one post a day" stuff goes: That is NOT an official rule. But if you do not plan to actively and constructively take part in the conversations in this forum you maybe should adhere to it, to not get caught for your spam so quickly  Wink.

The thing that gets a lot of the longer users and some of the mods here on and over the edge is that the situation with the signature-campaigns has gotten somewhat out of hand: Starting as an opportunity for members that would post here with or without the sigs to monetize on their activity here, it has become somewhat of an abomination that draws in people that usually wouldn't be active here and has them spam mindlessly and use multi accs and bots to get the most out of it.

It has gotten so much out of hand that just having a sig makes you suspicious to certain parts of this community and it sure shifts the line between a post of your's being considered spam or not spam.

Yeah this is true. Like I said post an ad on craigslist saying you're hardworking and have been job hunting but all applications are online so it's not really up to skill level just past job experience, education, etc. I posted an ad and got 4-5 legitimate responses within one day.

If you can't find some way to make a living he's going to be eventually homeless. Or you being in debt from paying all his bills. There's a lot of resources out there for finding work and making money you just have to find and use them. Tell him to work on building some stuff or refurbishing furniture and re-selling it, you can make some good money from that. Buy an old wooden entertainment center for $50, refurbish it, and sell it for $200+.

His son is in a wheelchair and they are in Africa. I doubt Craigslist even exist in many of the African countries and even if something similar existed it isn't that effective like you think.

set up a wallet on blockchain.info and find a bitcoin faucet to send a bit of bitcoin to the wallet Smiley

Can he live his life with the faucet payments? I guess not...

Don't know what the rules were when the forum first started, but until some time ago the rules were even a bit stricter, such that you could only post in the newbie section for some time.

Exactly.
When I first joined bitcointalk, I need to first make 1 post in newbie section (here) and wait 4 hours, in order to leave the newbie jail.  Smiley

You've made the first mistake many people make when entering into Bitcoin, thinking you can get instantly rich off it or get rich mining, that never happens and if it does that person is extremely lucky, I'm unemployed too currently but I'm taking a different approach and aiming to be self-employed with Bitcoin it is actually incredibly easy to set up a business, since you have an internet connection and presumably a Bitcoin wallet you could set up nearly any business you like.

There are Bitcoin accepting webhosts out there and payment processors, the rest is up to you and how much you're willing to work and what kind of skills you have.

This payment processor might suit you as it doesn't use fiat so it won't discriminate based on what country you're from: https://www.btcmerch.com/

There are also a number of webhosts even some on this very forum who could get you started somehow.

They were relaxed somewhat a few months ago. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move  Grin

Interresting...

I thought, it's a forum limiter for people who signed up for signatures, so that they cannot spam the forum, with useless posts.

Thank you for the information, I will keep it in mind.

You guys are really giving valuable inputs and it's appreciated a lot.

Wanted to reply earlier, but getting this error below, even if i did not post for 1 hour.
The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later.

As a newbies (with less than 15 activity), you will get a 360-second limit for your posts and PMs.
The clock will also be restarted when you log in your account or make a forum search.

So, it is better to first log in your account, even when you are just reading the posts. Smiley

Easiest way to make money while at home is buying a webcam.
The services he is providing behind it will determine the payout, but with just chatting about the weather he can make more then 10 dollars per day i think.
Unless he is rude, but still some ppl are willing to pay for that kind of attitude.

Interesting. Someone is willing to pay 10 dollars a day to get some chit-chat?
