Topic: Newbie restrictions - page 81. (Read 442041 times)
I guess rules have to be made by someone. Unfortunately, there is no way to know who is going to game a system. Anytime the system is evaluated by enough people, there will always be someone ready to twist or try to break the rules.
Rules make sense. BTC to 100!
@MikeH, well - you still need to wait 4h. It's not fun when you want to post anonymously :/
I suppose it's for the best - and that I hope is post #5. 
Just keep posting. Maybe ask some questions?
Welcome!

The reasons for the restrictions is great. 
But a bit frustrating if you're a newbie :-)
Oh well, this takes long..
You'll be out of here in no time. Just keep posting!
Maybe ask a question?Glad to have you join!

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).
Totally understand that. Unfortunately, I'm a "new" user because I want to use a new identity for privacy reasons. Wish there were a mechanism like Reddit's IAmA to verify someone's identity separately with the moderators.
This would be a very convenient way.

What exactly counts as a post? Does it have to be oustide the newbie thread?
it's quite annoying... but it serves the purpose
let's keep posting then!!

Posted a request for preemptive whitelisting but it wasn't fulfilled and no reaction at all. At least smb shoud have notified if request was rejected or etc.
Now hope will not need that anymore, this is 5th post

Glad there are some posting restrictions to make me go through and read up on what the general rules and etiquette is around here.
Post #2.
It's just a bit irritating that I have to post something to this list with is meaningless to everyone, just to get my posts up to 5 so I can ask the one question on the list that I want to. So sorry if you read this.
It is frustrating but it forces one to actually engage and become part of a community if they are serious. Fly by the sun members and silly comments are easily weeded out by precautions like this. Awesome. Lets see what class I fall into...lol
as a newbie, i find these fair. i hate spammers!
Yeah, i guess it is necessary.. but i wouldn't say fair.
I don't think legit posters should be affected by spammers in anyway ideally.
