For me it seems pretty useless against trolls. However, I believe the deal was not about trolls but about one-minute visitors. Those who get in, register to one of trashbox-like emails, post some crap and leave to never get back.
nice
Trolls can spend 4 hours on a forum and write 5 useless posts. Just sayn! NOW LET ME OUTTA HURR. 
The four hour time is dull -_-
I thought this idea was a good one, but it's obvious it doesn't stop trolls and idiots from shitting up the forums.
Want a real way to solve the issue? Make people pay to play, or find a way to verify that people are actually using or involved with bitcoins.
Thx

Right now it just takes time/effort to get around the restrictions. If anything the trolls have proven that they have nothing bit time on their hands, probably more so than actual people. A small BTC fee (maybe just a few bitcents) would keep out people who aren't using bitcoins, or at least make the trolls download the client and get some coins. Maybe a few will get interested for real when they do

I'm a troll... But I really don't see how these restrictions stop me in any way. lols
Totally agree with the time limitations but not with having to make 5 meaningless posts.....
I think we're allowed to make meaningful posts if we want to.
But I can't prove it

Very sensible. Does the Technical Support Forum get trolled a lot? If not it would be handy to have it open.
+1 couldnt agree more !
+1! also agree!
very fair rules though
I know this is true but I would like to gain access to the technical support forum.
Dear Moderator,
Some excellent secure rules for new users I see. Better to have a lot of aggression in security than chaos. I wish to take part in some discussions here, can I get my permissions level elevated to do such?

I vote for this process to allow for a secret password. Like "open sesame" to allow for bypassing this newbie section.
thank you for this information 
I was wandering in the forum and couldn't understand why I couldnt reply or send a PM to a member I wished to talk to.

yeah, i want unrestricted access too
Vote for unrestricted access.
+1 on the need for a newbie section
I truly do not understand the point of this "5 posts" minimum. Are you guys trying to encourage spam? A troll will only spam his 5 posts in 2 minutes and be over with it anyways.
Spammers/scammers will always find a way. But these restrictions let the forum get rid off the lazy onesYeah, 5 post is not a very strong way to stop spammers but at least is a start point.
I´m a newbie but I find this restrictions necessary.
How do you gain main member access?
