Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 225. (Read 442106 times)
Hey now, I'm new and posting.
These seem to make sense - I've been on the forum way more than 4 hours, but never made a login, because I was just lurking for so long.
INVALID BBCODE: close of unopened tag in table (1)
Restrictions are too stringent
Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster!

This should be pushpinned in the general forum somewhere; it was difficult to find.
ok finally figured out had to post here. this was really difficult to navigate. there is a message in the "registering" section which says if you miss your activation email go to your user info box. I couldn't figure out what the heck that was! I thought that was the source of the problem
I spent 45 minutes reading and rereading the Help section trying to figure out why I couldn't Reply in the CGMiner thread. Makes a lot more sense now 
Many thanks for your support.
Even though this post will likely get buried in a week never to be seen again, if you're accepted for whitelisting you'll receive a PM, and for the time I am still ranked as a "Newbie" so that's not as definitive as I figured. I was however whitelisted fairly quickly, though since I was looking for the wrong thing I may have missed it by a day or so.
I hope this helps someone else out at least

Thankyou 
Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts.
If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.
Also:
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.
Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.

Hi. This is one of my posts to qualify to post.
Instead of just completely wasting a post with just "hi there," though, I'll point out I'm just doing this so I can post my username in this thread which is to get registered for a freeroll at the Seals With Clubs bitcoin poker site.
The prize pool is 3 BTC.

How are the other newbies today?
This is a lot better. I really don't think I would get 50 posts in a year, for most topics I just don't have anything original to say but I'd like to say what I'm thinking when I have something. It's easy to get 50 posts of you offer something and answer questions (or write one-liners such as 'sub') but other people too might have something valuable to say. I can imagine a cryptography expert or a coder for example that have something to say every now and then but just aren't that eager internet people otherwise.
OP sounds fair..

Took me a while to figure this one out, i was searching for the reply post button. 
Lol, you and me both man!
I dont like it.. Trolls have time and will simply colltect that 5 posts in a few minutes... I they had no time they wouldnt troll around.. And other users dont get it why they cant post..
It takes a lot more dedication to register, make five legitimate posts, and surf the forums for a few hours than to fill out a captcha or something. And I doubt it's perfect, but it does help.
