Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 297. (Read 442041 times)
Ahh restrictions. I have unconsciously tried replying to a dozen different threads over the last week :/
Stay away from Jakea1011
Hmm, interesting restriction. I can understand the anti-spam reasoning, though it is a bit annoying to find out after registering to ask a specific question, that I won't be able to for some time. :-(
Just wanted to ask if there were any flag suggestions for my XFX 6950 that is flashed to XFX 6970 for use in GUIminer?
Guess. I'll wander the newbies forum to get my post count up.

This serves as a really good way to punish those of us that can manage to use google or figure out something on our own.
Hmmm
Wont let me reply to this for some reason

Thanks

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.

indeed the best way to get rid of those spammers
good idea, I have huge problems balancing the permissions of users on my forums, to eliminate the spambots
Post number 3, 2 more to go till I can request support with PhatK on Phoenix *sigh*
And they wand to reduce spamming?
Though I do believe it will reduce commercial spam.

I think the restrictions are pretty reasonable to prevent spamming, at least make the viagra companies spend some more time coding to post newbie posts.
Restrictions make me sad. Very sad.

5 posts is pretty reasonable..
Very good rules!
While it's mildly annoying, I understand the reasoning. Still, I'm not sure how much it will deter those who are seriously determined.
I would say at the very least that something about the "newbie" restrictions needs to be added in the user profile area. I only just recently stumbled across the newbies section further down in the topic list discovering why I wasn't able to message anyone or post anything anywhere else. At least movie the newbie section to the top of the forum listing. I've been looking at the forum page for weeks and only just now happened to see the newbie section with its helpful note as to why I've basically been locked out of the forums until now.

It's arguable either way. It's good to have the rules in place, but it's also very easy to get whitelisted. Just leave your browser open for a few hours, and come here and type five posts right away. Anybody can do it without working hard at all.
These are good rules, helps keep the forums free of garbage.
5 hours and now 5 posts yes!
