it does encourage pointless posts like a lot in here, but I would imagine it should prevent some spam from happening. 

That being said, here's is my pointless post Cheesy
Cheers. Let's all embrace the pointlessness of the posts in the pointless posts we make.

The fact I have to post 5 times before getting full access encourages pointless posts like this one.

I have to say (as in literally, I have to, in order to gain posts) this is a somewhat significant barrier to entry for legitimate new users and doesn't exactly promote community growth. It would seem to make for a lot of superfluous noise. I hope the sandbox restrictions have at least managed to succeed in their stated objectives.

Its A Good Step But Its Also Irritates me    Roll Eyes
I noticed I could not post on this forum, I was driving myself up the wall wondering what was wrong. I wish this newbie forum was at the top rather than the middle of the index page.

It makes sense to have such restrictions but it's really annoying and doesn't seem to be keeping the riff raff out. Seems like there are a few crackpots with hundreds of posts on this forum.

This is a difficult rule for those of us who prefer silence Sad

I don't like posting something just for the sake of posting; neither am I going to spam to prove I'm not a spammer.

It does encourage me to break up otherwise succinct comments into many smaller posts, in order to increase my count.    Undecided

I think the posting restrictions made some sense back in the day, but seriously there is so much information - especially for newbies - out there right now that it makes no sense. This is not going to be the first place someone learns about bitcoins. They are more likely to have learnt about it at one of the bitcoin business out there like bitinstant, or mt gox or somewhere they want to use bitcoins to buy something.

number five is alive.

p.s. I think it's not very obvious the newbie posting restriction for someone who signs up. I've been searching my spam filter for days for an activation email that doesn't exist...
