This is kinda annoying... not all of us log in to read the forum. I've had way more than 4 hours yet hardly any of it was logged in.
/end 5th post to get myself out of here
Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 324. (Read 442106 times)
Damn, and here I am creating a "legit" account (as opposed to the other account I created months ago, but only ever argued politics and and discussed ways to use bitcoin more anonymously) and I can't use the thing properly...
*shrug*
Oh well, it's still better than some forums I've been on.
Oh, and, I've introduced myself @ http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15672.msg221611#msg221611

Glad to see it is only limited to a few hours and 5 posts. I read somewhere else that it was 50 posts and while I spend a lot of time on forums I am mainly just a lurker. Here's to being free of newb status soon.
Interesting... When I joined, I was able to post to other places, then all of a sudden I could not figure out why I could no longer post.
Now, I have more than 5 posts and more than 5 hours logged in and still can't post to other places. What else do I need to do to be able to post in non-newbie section?

Lame newbie restriction are lame.
lol, i just spent 4 hours trying to figure out why i couldn't post... lol.. newby indeed..
Yeah this makes a lot of sense as to why I couldn't send messages
yup yup
I thought today's a good day to come out of the woodwork and remark on some posts. I found the wall sealed instead.
I'm sorry to see the forum hit hard by trolls; but as a Filipino proverb says, "If a tree bears plenty of fruits, people will throw stones at it."

4 hours meh.... but god I hate spam too
It's not that bad. It's actually a good way to "force" people to read the forums and do some research before posting... of course, it kinds of annoys every non-noob that registers *after* already doing that.
4 hours meh.... but god I hate spam too
the restrictions are lame, but 5 posts is a hell of a lot better than 50. I don't even know what they were thinking with that.
Five posts is fine I am good on that. It's the 50 hours in real life that translates to five minutes of time on this forum that bugs me.

What do yall use to measure time around here?
Ok... can't say I've ever seen a forum use this way of doing things before, but if it works, who am I to judge?
Even though I feel it can potentially bring a lot of spam to the newbies forum (:
PS.: Yeah, I realize that "a lot of spam in the newbies forum" is a lot better than "a lot of spam everywhere"

Trying to find out the best way to buy BTC. Finding some good info.
This is a bad place, check over there ------>
this isn't the place to ask
Adding posts, but I also need to buy some BTC, please PM.
I'm with "unthinkingbit" (above) I think donating an small but not insignificant amount of bitcoin to the cause of keeping this forum up and running would discourage spammers....
In fact that's exactly what MiFi (metafilter) does! You can't post until you send a few bucks to them, and then I think you have to wait a week.
Not to beat a dead horse here, but here's the metafilter link that explains the philosophy (http://www.metafilter.com/about.mefi). Basically, its $5 and I think you have to wait a week. There is no spam on those boards and 50,000 users (12K active).
