Topic: Please explain the Newbie Restriction. - page 2. (Read 1071 times)
It's just a deterrent to make it seem too much effort to create legions of spam accounts. That's not to say it's effective -- I'm not sure how effective it is.
Thx for your answer i will just look around and see in about 4 hours if all works out for me.
Just get your post (the one you do when you reply here) count above 15. And wait 2-3 weeks to get rid of these restrictions.
I've been struggling with the 'newbie' restriction for a few minutes here myself, I guess this is one time where I definitely should have 'read the ____ manual'!!!
I'm glad I found this topic, and now I have one post it seems so I will hang around and hopefully the restrictions will be lifted in a few hours.

Anti-spam and anti-bot measures.
Newbie Restrictions
You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. This post must be substantial: at least several sentences. The other two restrictions are you need 1 post to be able to send a PM and 10 posts to put a link in your sig. You can only post once every 360 to start and there are a few other things that trigger this timer such as logging in and searching.
