very fair, took me couple mins to find this forum to get started
I was wondering why I could post in other forums... Perhaps there should be some sort of warning at the top that can be dismissed? Maybe I missed that little memo in the registration confirmation email?

The rules seem very fair to me. Must admit if the 50 post rule was in place it would have definitely put me off.

I guess it's actually a rules needed to avoid trolling, spam... Even if a bit boring i do support it

It doesn't stop trolling very well, but it does help us catch spam-bots.  Also, the four hour login rule limits the number of repeated newb posts where people don't make a habit of trying to find out answers to those common early questions before posting the same question that another guy did 10 minutes before you, and that 1000 people posted over the past month.

Please, people; read!  We know that Bitcoin is complex and novel, but once you understand it, everything will just 'click'.

Ive been on here for well over 4 hours and have made a number of posts. It's really frustrating that I can't participate in other discussions
You already can post elsewhere. It's just that the system applies new ranks once like ten minutes. Just wait a bit and you'll be upgraded.

50 posts?
lol, glad I missed that.
These new restrictions are close to what you find in other forums and make plenty of sense.
No one likes spammers.

Always good why you cannot post and what the rules are on a certain forum. Keep the good work up!

I have made more than 5 posts and I have been logged in for a total of 4 hours and 1 minute and I STILL can't post or reply to the regular forums Sad.

There are job requests that match my skill set and I have been waiting patiently. I have been waiting for over 24 hours now! Sad
