Topic: Newbie restrictions SUCK - page 5. (Read 3346 times)
i understand the purpose for restrictions. Im not going to bash the moderators for making them, but it sure does lead to alot of usless post...much like this one.
I know, just want to message a pool operator. Would have signed up a long time ago had I known it would take this long to be able to start posting 
Bitcoin has a proof-of-work system, so does the forum! Besides reducing robo-spam, it also gives you some time to search and read before posting a question (or theory about why Bitcoin will never work) that has been previously answered multiple times.
Oh how I wish they would try to search....

1 hour here yea, it suck
yea, it suck
Okay, I agree.
The newbie restrictions are not very nice, but its better than no restrictions for sure.
I should have made an account a few weeks ago, and used it for reading but I didn't so its my own fault that I have to wait.
Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes before a whitelist thing gets accepted? (if its good enough)

The newbie laws do suck, but having been admin on some forums of similar size they are a much needed junk filter....
You guys weren't here for the pre-restriction spamming days, it was not a fun time.
yea the restrictions aren't the greatest but they are what they are and complaining about them isn't going to make them go away

Lawl. Why would I need a forum with hookers and beer, whats the pointAnd other than this restriction thing, bitcointalk.org is great
@RaTTuS
Thank you, I just posted over there.
it is a bit overkill, they could halve it really, im just gonna leave my browser on and refresh it, I can understand wanting to stop spam and stuff.

You must provide evidence that shows that you either understand more about Bitcoin than the average newbie
The requirements look rather random to me. Also: does 5 random posts like this and 4 hours of hitting the reload button make me understand more about Bitcoin? I think not. 
well, feel free to go start your own bitcoin forum, with your own rules, and blackjack, and beer, and hookers...
You need to spend 4 hours online too.
Ahh come on....
You've got to be kidding me.
I have so many contributions to make, but I still have to wait
I wanna join all the interesting discussions
Just got my 4 hours 
I think as well that these restrictions suck. bitcointalk.org is the only site I know to have restrictions of this kind.
