Topic: That's kinda stupid... (Read 827 times)
nothing else to worry about?
How can you lurk for more than half a year without ever learning how the newbie restrictions work? Maybe you should lurk harder next time.
What you mean? I never visited Newbies section as never had need and I did read "NEWBIE README" before I started this thread, why you think I don't know how it works? It's exact reason why I'm posting here now 
As annoying as it is, it's a good idea
It is to stop people from spamming. Spam kinda messes up the appeal of the forum if there is too much of it.
First world problem
I understand your side of this. Also you have to understand forum holders side, that he wants to minimize spam on this forum and that he is doing this because of this. Maybe there is some better what to do it, but they chose this one.
agreed
I agree, I also always really disliked all forums (and other sites) where you're forced to make some first useless posts. I just never had any need to post anything. When I'll be allowed to post I'll probably have forgotten what I wanted to say and thus I won't bother with that. I think better approach is just captcha solving required for posting if you're new member or something.
But maybe now i can post in the market place because I am looking for some translation services.

"Maybe" it's a bought account
I think newbies are meant to read the newbie instructions. I just did.

Admins force opening accounts to take a certain amount of work thus worth significantly more to you in case you get banned than for them to press the "ban" button.
I agree. I just wanted to register here so I can post in GIVEAWAY threads. One solution is to make "giveaway only" board where newbies can post too.
welcome to the site 
write your question in a text editor and post it in once you are liberated from newbie jail!

ok dude.
I've always really disliked all forums (and other sites) where you're forced to make some first useless posts. That is I can't post where I wanted even if my account is more than a half year old.
