Thank you for having the forum up restrictions and all
Doesn't the restrictions only inhibit humans? I'm sure bots can be programmed to get passed the restrictions...
I am new to the site, but I would like to be able to communicate with the other business I interact with that have live threads on this site.
I do wish they would alter the rules to be accept into certain groups when you have associations with people from other websites. Thanks,
It won't deter trolls; they are persistent folk. What it might deter is casual spammers who have thousands of forums to cover with their spam. It does, however, come at the cost of forcing people to make idle conversation before making useful contributions, as Integ points out.
Annoying, but good way to weed out the trolls
I sympathize with you newbies, the 4 hour wait is a pain in the ass!
Can't agree with the usefulness of the restrictions in this form. The time spent on the forum - it is possible. But to limit the message, forcing them to write - this is absurd. You can think of the forum is the secret sections. Or spammers can't write in the newbies section. In the end, it forces the newbies spamming, no more than that.
Okay, I don't like being restricted in which areas I can post, and I also understand the need to control spammers 
Thanks for the info

When I first started out Newbie Restrictions annoyed the hell out of me.
I'm right there with your former self now.
I think its actually a good idea to make some sort of restrictions... because some people just come to spam forums up... but also too much restriction is just annoying because sometimes you just want to add ur 2cents or ask a question... balance, thats the key! ;P
5 times + 4 hours, I think it is. I actually like the time restriction.....you should surf and read for a while before acting.
I need to troll to do some post so that I can acceed to the "real" forum, but you can belive me,
i am sorry for that. I have to post 5 times? Or am i wrong?

Works for me, too! thanks!
The newbie restrictions seem to work well on this forum at least.
I do not like newbie restrictions either, but I can understand their use in deterring trolls. Trolls make forums REALLY messy.

It's been a long time since I've seen a forum that had them, but it makes sense in this application.
