Topic: Newbie restriction - page 2. (Read 1946 times)
I want a custom title that says shibe rather than newbie.
Hi, I'm not so much a newbie as a new member.
Been around the block a few times, so waiting for full access.
I think the newbies restriction is a decent idea tho.

Reasoning? That's kinda bad for the forum imo, makes it harder to recognize people
Due to a security flaw which was exploited to hack the forums.

how long until I can add an avatar???
You can't. They were disabled.
Honestly, I have absolutely nothing valuable to say... I just want to remove this restriction just in case. 
I'll still spend most of my time just lurking around all the forums anyway.
I'll still spend most of my time just lurking around all the forums anyway. Do newbies need to start a new topic, or does making a reply count as their first post?
And here is my second sentence.

No a reply counts as a post. I can't post this straight after my other post was sent, so apparently, as newbies, we have a time restriction as well.
I am dead serious about needing an avatar. And my post's have been far from useless, they have helped me and a few others get answers to issues that don't need to be in non-noob areas. Post whatever you want here, it will be moved to the pertinent section as the moderator see's fit.

I'm still posting to this area although I am free now, cause some of my inquiries belong here. Now I wonder - how long until I can add an avatar???
Pleeeaassse...Let me out of here...I promise I'll be good... 
people will be posting due to getting out of jail >.<

Maybe it is like hazing. Do you want it bad enough recruit? Do you?
good question. Im wandering that myself. Guess this is a test to see if i can PM after sending a reply
I have been registered to hundreds of forums and have never experienced anything like this.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Are there any verterans of this board around that can remember why they created this bizarre system? Was there a spam flood or some hostile takeover attempt? I'm just curious why the hoops are necessary.
Yeah, I'm sure there was a ton of spam. A forum about what was at one point basically a penny stock loved by relatively crazy political thinkers, that was also loved by people who program and do various other obtuse computer activities? Yeah, that sounds like the biggest bullseye imaginable.

I have been registered to hundreds of forums and have never experienced anything like this. First off I could not figure out where the reply buttons were at. Then I figured that there was some form of restrictions to new users so I had to go hunting for that information which was not put in plain site on the registration page. Now I am having to go through more hoops and perform tricks to please the powers that be. They are hurting themselves by making this difficult. Not surprisingly, this is almost exactly like bitcoin itself: hard as shit to get involved in. You have to first do a ton of research and spend hours and hours trying to figure out how everything works. And then when you do, your access is very limited until you have yet again spent many many hours and hours actually mining. I guess this community likes being difficult and making "newbies" go through a "learning phase" or some such mess. Whatever floats your boat man.
There are plenty of advocates for bitcoin that claim it will never be main stream acceptable until it is made easier to use. I agree. If you want people to do something, make it easy.
Yes they are; you just didn't read them. They're also in the newbie readme.
And Bitcoin is easy. It's only difficult for technophobes and idiots.
What the hell is with all the crypto currency popping up anyway? Litecoin, devcoin, newbcoin, papasmurfcoin. Like where does it stop? Do I just invent my own crypto coin to make my next house payment in 20 years? Yeah uh today it's going to be chips-a-hoy coin. Yup.
hmmm strange my first post was about a week ago and im almost always online, lets see if this post helps
Edit: lol what happend to my first post?
