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.

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....

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....

well, feel free to go start your own bitcoin forum, with your own rules, and blackjack, and beer, and hookers...

Lawl. Why would I need a forum with hookers and beer, whats the point
And other than this restriction thing, bitcointalk.org is great Wink

you have completed the required 5 posts and 4 hours logged in

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.

I think as well that these restrictions suck. bitcointalk.org is the only site I know to have restrictions of this kind.
