Very sensible. Does the Technical Support Forum get trolled a lot? If not it would be handy to have it open.

+1, I came here solely to ask technical questions

Seems like you could also have a system of reputation.  For instance I'm new here, but have been active for a long time on other Bitcoin related sites.  Could probably get someone to endorse me.

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- Newbies cannot upload their own avatars.
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)

i was looking for bitcoin info and i found this site. now i find out i cant post anything. Sad

Why can't we drop the requirements to 2 hours... same effect essentially.

I made an account so I could post in another subforum.  Been lurking and mining for a year and I don't really consider myself to be a noob.  This is silly

Slightly annoying that after creating my account 6 months ago and not leaving it logged in in still cant post.
while I realize forms need to be kept clean. I really just posting nonsense here to try and get my 10 post up...

Doesn't the restrictions only inhibit humans?  I'm sure bots can be programmed to get passed the restrictions...
No, you see most spam bots will try to sign up and then post their spam immediately, and instantly fail. You could program a spambot to make four nonsense posts in the newbie forum and lurk for four hours, but that's more effort than most spammers would be willing to take. Why, they'd have to actually read the forums they're trying to spam, and that's too much effort. Remember, they have thousands of forums to spam to "get rich fast by spamming".
