It would be nice if this thread, or at least the information it contains, was visible in the "Help" section.
But that's not a big of a deal. I search on google "bitcointalk unable to post pm". And found quick response.

The whitelisting idea is more useful IMO, or moderate the first ten posts (albeit this option is more time intensive), this way the first posts will be meaningful.
That really doesn't sound like a productive use of our time.
Smart system to keep trolls out!
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but this is an incredibly dumb policy.
I hunted around for ages looking for the "reply" button on the regular forum, which doesn't say anything about why you can't post there. Then posted my question here, where nobody who could answer it could see it.
Bah. Suppose I'll have to make some fairly pointless comments on other threads and increase the noise-to-signal level too.

I have 4 hours & 8 minutes and nothing.
Why?
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.

Yes . wait ....wait ... 4 hours is not a big time ...

I just joined hoping to learn more about bitcoins.
I spent an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't post before... the admin of this board should make it more obvious.
Lmao, was searching for the new thread button as well till i found this post. 
Nevertheless, hello fellow miners

Are posts not moderated, or only post facto? 
My time accrual issues seem to have been an issue with Firefox. I switched to chrome and began getting 1:1 time gains. With firefox I was getting about 3 minutes for 10 minutes on.
this is great!

That seems reasonable to me. I mean, ten posts shouldn't be that difficult, considering there are thousands of threads to choose from.
I suppose that's reasonable, thnx.
Creating a minimum post count just make people post more useless posts.
- Yeah, you're right.
- You are correct.
- Good decision.
What about sticking to time spend on forum and one post so people can present themselves?

Sure, but they are only here in the newbies section. See how that works?
