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.

3 and a half hr wait time for me Sad

still pending

Don't waste that time, read up about the topic at hand. Four hours is not enough to grok Bitcoin, it took me two weeks.

If I'd known about this 4 hour thing earlier I'd have registered before I felt the need to post. Eh.

Guess this is an introduction anyway.

In the meantime, if anyone else with a vague knowledge of banking/UK law wants to go over to the Intersango thread and point out the only legal reason a bank can freeze an account without explanation then please do.

Yeah, seriously. I don't just sign up for forums when I start browsing them. I lurk until I feel I need to ask a question or contribute.

This is my 5th post. Does it make me any less newbie? Only one way to find out. Wink

EDIT: I guess not. Sad

You need to pass the 5 post threshold and be on the forums 4 hours.

I have more than 5 post, and 2 days ago I was able to send a PM to another user. Today when I login, I could see the famous "Trolling" message in my screen. Some kind soul can enlighten me why this is happening now and no 2 days ago?

Thanks!

Having used this site previously but forgot my login/password I registered a new one.
I spent ages checking my email and trying to find out why I couldnt post here Sad

Really need to make it more obvious the new posting requirements.

It is really obvious. When you click to register a new account there's some text below the spot to put in your information. The first few lines detail newbie restrictions.

Thanks for making the forum available. I'm brand new to bitcoins but need to get some into mtgox as soon as possible. Guess I'm going to start reading some threads to figure out how to get them and who to trust. Undecided

What I don't understand is that you have to actually post or click on links... the reading time in the threads is not considered as time logged in!!!

The software that runs these forums (SMF) has no way of knowing you are still around unless you click links / post threads etc. If you're technically minded, you can read up on how HTTP is stateless.

Yeah life's a b*tch

Point is, to achieve 5 hours of logged activity I've been around a couple of weeks!

It is going to take me all day just to jump to the initial site I was looking for.
Hopefully its worth the small effort.
