Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 295. (Read 442041 times)
Fair call. Hope i don't end up posting here forever.
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.
this is fair, I first saw the notifications about 50 posts and thought 
that's gonna take a while and it would be hard to not get boring in the newbie forum by that time, hah.

Restrictions like this are great, thanks. I ran a small forum for a while and I can't tell you the amount of spam I got just by looking away for no longer than maybe a day?
Also I'm very talkative so 5 or 10 or whatever posts won't be hard to do.

I've been mining for weeks and still haven't gotten rid of this annoying newbie status.
aww, long time lurker but just created to respond to a post and can't 
Oh well... time to chat with the other newbies...

Same here.
OK, I have been online for more than 4 hours and made the 5 posts, I am still not able to post anywhere but the newbie section 
How many posts does it take to get some free BTCs in my wallet? 
That would be nice - but where to get these bitcoins from? I doubt the people would like an inefficient javascript miner running in the background when visiting the forum.
I believe it is logical to have restrictions, don't believe they are too tight right here. It may be annoying, but all the trolling going on at other forums are even more annoying...
Disagree. People are "trolling" out there right now and keeping you here is not going to stop it.
I'm basically stuck making frivolous posts to get to the 5 post limit, so I can REALLY post
same here... just wanted to post regarding bitcoins.lc (tons of rejected shares) as well as deepbit downtime, but I guess I'm stuck here for 3 more posts...
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.
- You need 50 posts to put an image in your signature.
Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.

I am a member on many forums and I find it strange they have this "newbie" attitude here ..
I continue to maintain that these restrictions are insulting to new members who are some of the most enthusiastic people toward bitcoin. Trolling is a problem, I suppose, but of all the ways to deal with it they have chosen to scoop every person into their dragnet and interrupt our lives and progress and remind us that a caste system exists here. It's a very, very bad decision. Furthermore, it's not solving any problem and is creating new ones.
But also, is it even working? I think I should be outta here based on the criteria given, but I guess I wait for some caste master to get around to it.
Mining for 10 days.

Thanks a lot
Well, you figure everyone else had to go through it, why not? It's like initiation, before the real initiation, where the initiated are initiated
