OK, I am a dumbass Smiley I guess there are more of us.
Still - its not visible enough because nobody expects this.

took me forever to figure out why the reply button was missing.

Excatly! whoever put this restriction in place is a dumbass because he didn't put any information regarding this visibly enough.
New users are wasting time finding the reply button and might be put of completely - this is not a common behaviour of forum systems so even experienced users could be put off.

I don't want to argue whether putting resctrictions like these are good or bad - but once you do it, do it properly.

It's on the registration page twice, once right below where you enter your information, and again at the bottom with a checkbox.

You're right though, someone is a dumbass.

I think the restriction is good, BUT I also think that while under restriction there should be a 1995 animated GI banner at the top informing you of said restriction to save all us newbs some sanity and stop "wtf is the reply" quest before it starts.

Sounds fair other wise there would be so much spam.  Thanks for the update.

It is interesting how you have the time requirement.  How do you calculate the time difference?  I've spent several hours on this forum, yet barely show 1 hour of logged time.

(anyone knows why MOVETO.FUND https://glbse.com/asset/view/MOVETO.FUND dropped so drammatically, for instance?)

Yes, that was solely me. I sold what, 10 shares over the last few days? liquidity was terrible it I had to get out for cheap. I still have share in the fund, and I think it will be a success.

Always consider the volume. Now would be a great time to get in for cheap.

Restrictions could be more strict.
It takes around 5 minutes actual time to get ride of the newbie status.

No, you'll need at least 4 hours.

I would never think someone would have the idea to troll bitcoin users... however, it's not so strange once I think of it! We are a little community pretending some hanfuls of bytes have a value (and will have a way greater one in the near future), and from this we start to speculate in the most bizzarre and geeky ways... maybe we are one of the most appetible communities to troll, after all!

So I'll try to get through to 5 posts in the newbie section... hoping prices in Glbse don't change too much while I am restricted out of "securities" section.

Yeah it's painful when you read a thread and you have something good to say and hunt for the reply button...
But it's for the best, stops a LOT of crap I imagine.
