Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 294. (Read 442041 times)
This can`t be a solution. I read most of the time. Now i want to post and not allowed. hmm.
The restrictions for new users seem reasonable for what you can get out of this..
Rules is rules.
Yes, I understand the importance of these restrictions. But like others, I spent lots of time reading threads before actually joining. I didn't join until I needed to post.
Amazing! I have just notified this while I tried to comment a post on another thread
It's fair enough, if a little frustrating for those of us who are not troublemakers!
Just hit this restriction today when I attempted to post on mining hardware forum some information about FPGAs, which is kind of silly to post in the newbie section.
5 post restriction is very fair, I believe 24 hour restriction on posting elsewhere would be fine too (of course being a member for a month I may be biased
).

Dont post alot, but its cool.
I dont like this method, but i accept it 
I have just joined and understand the restrictions in place for newbies. I am looking forward to being able to participate in the other sections of the forum. 
Gah! I should have registered when I first started reading the forums. I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past that 4 hours online.
I agree to and understand the rules.
I fully understand the restrictions concept to avoid spam issue, however posting 5 messages would lead to a long topic of useless stuff (... like the present one).
I did spend alot of time on this forum for documentation prior to mining installation. Now I got a huge problem, I cannot openly ask the community advice to solve it. Should I register sooner ? I certainly would with a clear restriction policy (like in top of forum, sticky annoucement, not only Newbie section).
Yet I find the log time pretty accurate to see if someone stay long enough on a forum to avoid hit'n'run poster.

Interesting. I don't spend a lot of time in forums so I have have never actually run across restrictions like this before. I guess it makes sense...
5 posts, 4 hours... kinda a lot if you want to just ask one question ;-)
Is it only 5? I thought it was 50...hhhmmm, this might be it then
Nice thread, now I know that I'm not the only newbie that find this status annoying. I just wanted to post something informational but I guess that has to wait for some time.
I would find it much better if you would have to solve some sort of logical puzzle or do a bitcoin quiz in order to post, at least as long the newbie status isn't gone.

How dreary
Cheers to keeping the spam, but here is another junk post to get me to 5.
I'm talkative too, but these restrictions are hard to swallow. I don't doubt they reduce spam, but I think it discourages new users, some of whom could be interested merchants wanting to integrate Bitcoin.
You're right about that. There are more effective ways of banning spam than by just enforcing a certain post limit. If spamming is profitable, spammers will pay this price - the average newcomer however is discouraged and may leave before even reaching the "real" board. There are very good forum addons that automatically classify spam and ban/freeze the corresponding user. I think one of these should be installed to reduce the spam problem instead.
