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.

These restrictions just end up making a ton of garbage posts. There should be some alternative methods (extra verifications) to get past the restrictions .

I guess this is a pretty sensible idea, 4 hours online and 5 posts isn't really hard to achieve, so for the most part it should wean out those people that come here to quickly troll/spam, as they'd actually be required to put in a little effort before they can do such a thing.

I agree, it's quite simple

Yup, that's the point.  And nor is the newbie section unwatched.  If you have an unanswered question, ask it.

Okay, 5 posts isn't hard... but 4 hours of activity? I've lurked here for months. There isn't nearly 4 hours of content left for me to read. I'm so board I started browsing threads in languages I can't read. I guess a few days of casual browsing will take care of it though.

So board you say?

Guess it didn't even take that long as you're a Jr. Member now.

I see the point to the newbie section but it kind of sucks when you are having issues with your mining pool and the only way to contact or ask about it is on these forums. -1 post to go.

If 5 comments is so hard for someone, I can't imagine I want to waste my time reading what they want to say. My last post, this post and my next three will waste far less of my life than the spam and worthless comments I would have to wade through here.

I reckon I see a good reason for it.  Yeah, maybe it's annoying a bit right now, but I've been on other forums that do the same thing, and after I got through it, it was good to keep the dumb shit out of the main forum.  I made it a lot of years without knowing about this joint (heard about it in Rolling Stone), a few posts, hours or days ain't gonna kill me.  I'm a thick-skin deadhead.  Last time I got in a hurry, her dad was coming in the front door while I was going out the back.

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.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.

Lol, I hope not 4 consecutive hours loged....my internet loves disconneting a lot and I would never make it past the newb town if that was the rule  Grin
Remember that HTTP is stateless and you are considered logged in for 15 minutes since you last click a link. The time logged in does not need to be consecutive.
