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?
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.

Hello I'm a newbie to these forums but not to bitcoins. I was wondering what I had to do to post in forums I feel Important for me to post in. I am honorer-ed to have found this place and hope to be able to learn a lot from here, PEACE!
I like this policy, but feel somewhat restricted. I guess its for good reason.
I'm not really a huge fan of the newbie restrictions, but for me personally, the amount information here is definitely worth it.
Ah, ok that explains a lot. Sucks though if you are actually spending the time reading though the posts and not making much headway towards the 4 hours though. Friggin trolls ruining it for everyone else. 
Oh well, back to reading (and clicking).
Thanks!

What's with the timer? I've spent at least a couple of hours reading but my total time logged is 36min.
It's not really a timer, it's a page view counter that doesn't credit you if you are clicking too fast.

So the "promotion" out of Newbie land is automatic, provided the user meets the minimum posts and hours requirement?
Exactly. It might take a few minutes, though, for the posting rights to be granted.
Seems as though most of us use this as an excuse to get a free post, so here I am.

The 4 hours limit is kinda painful lol
Ahhh finally found why do not I write
How about an optional, nominal btc donation to skip the hazing
I understand this as a form of working protection (hopefully), but certainly quite disturbing. If it helps ....
Got it.
Read & understood.
Second post, three to go!
I joined this forum almost a year ago and read it frequently but post rarely so I'm still a newbie.
It reminds me of fraternity hazing and the way that gangs make new members kill people to prove their loyalty, but a much more gentle form.
I can see that something is needed to keep out the trolls and spam. This doesn't seem unreasonable.
