The 4 newbie post limit is pretty strange. I want to be on the 100BTC list, but I can't, because I can't reply to a non-newbie thread :-(

Fascinated by BTC, but I think 4 hours of me having to browse this was not cool. Sad

While I'm grudging this now... I'm sure the lack of spam makes up for it.

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.

that is a good rule if you ask me to stop the spammers

Well, I guess I better get started posting.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have a forum that would allow posters to put of a bond (in BitCoin, of course), that would be forfeit if they were caught violating the rules of the forum?

Just a thought...

The newbie restriction is really not a good idea. I want to exchange money from Neteller to Bitcoin and want to contact directly trusted members who make exchanges. When will it be possible? How many posts to write?

Hmm.. the restrictions are not good, if a member like me comes with a question,
why should wait for hours and post some random stupid posts?

These restrictions just end up making a ton of garbage posts.

That's true, but garbage posts that can usually tell us if you are a bot or not. 

Yes, but newbies should be allowed to contribute in someway that isn't just busy-work-ish. Maybe pay in LTC or BTC to get your account opened?

I'd be willing to pay up to a bitquarter (.25) for this !

If you were to donate said bitquarter to the needs of the forum, I'm sure that is as good a reason to have you whitelisted as any, but I'm not the person to talk to about that.

Seems like this would result in a lot of newbies posting in threads like this one to pad their post counts by stating the obvious.

I think there's a lot of people who are very familiar with Bitcoin, and have even been lurking the forums for a long time, but just never posted anything. Now if they find something they want to post on, they have to get through these garbage posts and the time limit in order to contribute.

Well, time limit won't be an issue really, but yeah, it's very-very-very annoying!
