I can see why the policy is needed, but it's not great if you're someone who likes to make occasional thoughtful posts instead of spouting masses of rubbish.
Oh well, this seems to be the best thread to spam - I give in.

So what, everyone has to sit here and post 5 times before we can take part in the real discussions? Ok

Hey!
Of course 4 hours can delay some trollers from register new accounts, but it can be also an option for people with good reputation to bypass this restriction.

Ok, so does this count as the first post!
I've had over 5 posts for 2 hours now and still can't post etc! Hurry up!!! 
I find this to be quite logical.
Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.
I finally got there and have to wait even longer! 
Blah. Sucks if you've been reading and following the forums for a while and have just now decided to actually register and post something.
Easy solution to that and it looks like you've already found it
The restrictions are evil! but understandable
Few bad eggs spoiling it for the rest.

4 hours is perfect since if someone's attention span lasts that long then they are worth keeping around.
And you don't think decent trolls have trained patience? It might keep the obvious out but not the cunning ones.

Insane i can not send more than 2 PMs .... this restriction is not well placed at all
Ouch. That's harsh.
I have a fix for some folks' problems getting 0 hash/sec with ufasoft miner, but can't post yet due to the restrictions. 
The 4 hours isn't that bad. The 5 posts is annoying though, thread I'd like to contribute to are on the rest of the board.

4 hours seems a little draconian, but otherwise a good idea!
Ok, it makes sense, but I need to unload a 5970.
