No, it doesn't..it keeps track of how much you spent online before leaving the forum

Define "leaving".

A hour went by, but the counter shows only 3 minutes more than then.

It can tell when you're active, not just having a window open and the site up.

the nasty thing about this is when you start reading a lot and forget to hit the refresh button Sad

So I'm logged in... but the timer isn't ticking down...

How does this work?

Yeah, I had Total time logged in: 1 hours and 20 minutes more than an hour ago, but now it still shows just 1 hours and 40 minutes.

Does it reset to zero after I log off, close the browser or shut down the PC?

Yeah, this 4 hours of logged in time is a sort of bizarre account restriction.

I don't think so. It means you have to invest a significant amount of time to be able to freely participate so that limits the amount of people creating throwaways to troll.

I've got 4 hours, more than 5 posts and I still have no access to other forums. Is this a manual process where the admin grants me the access?

Please see the first post in this topic, it'll answer your question.

While this is a meaningful restriction, I think it should be made clearer to newbies why they cannot posts. The lack of reply box is not intuitive.

I concur. Some forums send an email or show a message after registration, like: Your account is limited until an administrator approves it, or you verify your email address or similar...

I only found out why I can't post after asking on IRC.

There should be a message after login or a permanent message bar with an explanation.

While i understand why this restrictions was made, i would like to also point out, that it forces people to spam useless posts in newbie area just to be able to post elsewhere.

Yes, this was my first thought too.
