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 (new topics or replies).

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- Newbies cannot upload their own avatars.
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)

Ok. I've been following al the rules, waiting 4 hours online. posting useless posts to get post count up to 5. But still nothing! WTF. Is anyone actually working to fix this? If I can't get to post in the next day, I'll leave this place permanently at the loss to the Bitcoin community. I have many important posts regarding ASIC HW, that you will miss out on...

I'm sorry to have to say that this anti-spam method is both lame and counter productive. Sad

It might be a good idea to add this information to the "Help" page at the top, or maybe create a FAQ shortcut somewhere easier to find.

It's too bad the forum had to resort to this. But I understand I guess. Some arbitrary measure of legitimacy is usually needed when the topic revolves around pursuing wealth (directly or indirectly).

Sigh.  So true.  Curse human nature!
