At first I didn't understand why I couldn't post some places but I fully understand now. I felt that this restriction is good in some way, I do not like you have to be online for over 4 hours since I have been tons of time online here on Bitcointalk as a guest and I know the forums and I don't think this will help against spammers and trollers.
It helps, a lot. You don't know the number of spammers we ban easily daily as they're all contained in this subforum.  Undecided
Welcome, guys.

It isn't that hard to get 5 post, it's even harder to read over 4 hours thorugh this forum, but it's worth it.
Even for me, as an older member with a new account, you'll always find somethting interesting you didn't read before Smiley

Agreed, got over 6 hrs logged and only 3 posts. Tons of info here.

Yeah, it's definitely a neat counter-trolling system, and I'm surprised other larger forums don't employ similar tactics.

Thought i could leave my browser on this forum to log time. Apparently I have to refresh to get it to log more time.
I have to make 4 more posts in order to start posting in other forums? This is rather inconvenient :/

I've already bought some tf2 items and wanted to leave rep. I guess I should have registered with these forums and not lurked until I needed to post.

It took me an hour to realise this is the only place I could post haha! I guess it serves a purpose though.

Hi, I'm a newb and I just signed up to post to the cigs.eu thread... thought I should warn anyone thinking about purchasing from them that they refuse to honour a stated '100% moneyback guarantee' published on the front page of their site.

Not only that, their 'support' ignored my emails for a month then replied to one of my most recent with a threat to try to prosecute me for 'friendly fraud' and screw up my credit rating/relationship with my bank (their words) if I sought a refund!

I believe a representative of their company is still hocking his wares on his site. So. Would be nice to hear his take.

because there is not clear information abour newbies restrinction, i thing it shoul be some information on first page

It was mentioned on the registration page and you had to mark a checkbox saying you understood those rules.
If you didn't see it there I don't think you would see it on the first page.

Hi,
I'm a newbie here (stating the obvious) and I'm glad that the restrictions are reasonable.
Every good site has newbie restrictions, so if that's the price to pay, so be it.

Glad to find some like00minded people here going by some of the posts I've read.
