Hey everyone, just another newbie on the BitCoin forum. Agree with these restrictions, if you see some of the other forums sites I've been on recently this is the way forward.

trying to fight the spam and troll, you are forcing pepole to post, and their posts are made of troll & spam
if i understand the system correctly, you can be verified sooner, you just have to ask for it in the appropriate thread

And who/what would that be?

A little odd to do it this way, no? I guess it stops the bots and there's something to be said for that.

Not much. There are better ways to block bots.

The Chinese/Russian spammers are a slightly bigger problem, but not big enough to warrant these stupid methods that no other web site uses and that also deflect people who have a life.

Hehe, that describes it rather well. It shows how stupid these attempts at spam fighting are.

Geez u guys...  some of us just want to sumbit a bug, but are deterred by all this restrictive crap...

Forcing people to post or wait too long/much ends up making them forget about this forum altogether...

My only reason to be here is actually to submit a bug, and help other users out with their configurations, setups.. 
I have a successful setup, and am very familiar with command shell programming (something many miner/gui programs here take advantage of)  many people ask how to parse cmd prompt program output etc...  )

I am less likely to help if I have to jump through making a bunch of meaningless posts just so I can get access to post in the subforum that I was trying to help in the first place.   I am not getting paid here.

I have posted on many forums and this one takes the cake on restrictions.



lets seee that should make 3 posts....   oh, this isn't a spamm/garbage post..  it has meaning.
