Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 182. (Read 442041 times)
It is unfortunate that people in general are not mature enough to handle themselves in an upfront and open manner. It is this tendency and this tendency alone which fuels those who wish to rule over others...the "need" for most to be ruled. It just adds difficulty for those of us who do not need to be ruled to function, having to circumnavigate the "rulers" while wading through the "ruled"...
Makes sense.
Pretty good idea to be fair
Sounds like a good idea to me
5 posts, and you're out of jail.
Good rule. I'm getting there too
No Problem! =)
Would be good to be able to post here as I really need to but some bitcoins in the UK
After reading a lot of posts on your newsgroup I decide to submit an applicatio, but I'm a little confused on how you get your right to raise a topic and/or reply to one PM.
Can somebody please explain it to me?
Thanks

Restrictions make sense, keep the trolls out.
Even night clubs these days make people queue outside and only the good looking people get let in first. Antispam measures are usually IP blocking methods. but with many people using TOR for their genuine anonymity unrelated to spamming (drug pushers etc). Which seems to be a well valued right of BTC. Stopping IP addresses of spamming trolls is just going to block many non spamming users too.
Spammers that use to do it the TOR way would just click 'use new identity' to be given a fresh new node IP. so blocking every IP is not the solution. plus its not much of a prevention. It is basically like letting in all the riff raff into a night club then throwing out anyone that looks the same whether they caused the trouble or not.. In bitcoin terms that is a large percentage use TOR. so I find queuing outside for 4 hours better, knowing I hopefully will have a relaxed atmosphere inside for many months
and on that note 2 hours to go

It is a good way to select those who have nothing better to do than standing in line for 4 hours. Of those who have a life this web site gets only those who can write a bot in much less than 4 hours that fulfills the requirement for them.
Welcome to the land of grey clouds!
On a related note, it looks like I have finally got Bitstamp to work, using a SEPA payment. Only 2 business days to find out if I'm right.
