I'm new here. Was trying to find more information on bitcoins and their uses. I get the newbie restrictions so it's not an issue for me. What brought me here was a post that stated someone was possibly setting up a bitcoin pay site for cam models and this seems like a great way to avoid the practice of the middle man.

Bitcoin today is what the internet was in 1998.

So I have to make 4 replys before I can post in other fourms?

You have to make 5 posts total and spend 4 hours online here to be able to post outside of the Newbies section.

Looks like I need to chill for 4 hours and make five posts just so I can talk about what I really wanted to talk about. Okay then.

You can post and start threads in the Newbies section before you reach the threshold.

yep sure, but there is a major problem that i don't understand... like newbie why are you restricted to send pm to members? i get the posting scheme but pm is a major failure i think.  i just find a lost friend here and wanted to send a pm if anyone can get in touch with member "BombaUcigasa" let me know   Huh

I'm probably not the only one to be frustrated with the restriction, but I understand the motivations for it.

Back to reading and posting on the handful of topics that I'm interested in and can post to...

I think the Newbie restrictions/time limits are justified given the mass of spam and trolling going on in this forum.

I have also noticed that if I just leave my browser window opened on the forums for a few hours while logged in it doesn't count that time in the 'Total time logged in'. I wonder how they know that people are afk/not on the forums?

can't restrictions be 3 hours instead?

I think 4h is not that bad - if you register as soon as you read this forum. But many users don't.
Why is it 4h online and not, for example, x hours starting with the first post?

I guess we all have to go through the "newb" stage in order to join something...can't restrictions be 3 hours instead?
