I guess I'll find out soon if I have to waste 4 hours browsing before I can send PM's.
A little annoying for people who are trying to get into the group buys.
Topic: the 4 hours rule question - page 3. (Read 2073 times)
No you actually have to post or go to the Whitelist and explain why are you different from the bunch.
does it have to be a solid 4 hour login or can i log out and go to sleep and login and continue the 4 hours?
Just thought the same
Totally waste of precious time, as said before.
I think this is the silliest "newbie" rule I ever heard of... I need to ask some serious questions, not just sit here and do stupid things...
4 hours help keep the scum out for a while longer

If you have opera, enable reload after xx min or download firefox refresh addon.
There's me replying to your post
OP, there's a timer on the top left which says "Total Time logged in:" which will say how much time the system has calculated you to have logged in.
IIRC, you need to be active every few minutes or so for the time to count. If you're inactive for too long, the timer will just stop.

I'm sure I already know the answer to this question, but would pre-registration time count toward 4 hours on the forum? I've spent many, many hours lurnking reading bitcointalk threads, but it looks like none of that counts toward posting requirements until I register an account.
It cannot be done because if your not logged there is no way knowing what account credit the time to
There are a lot of crazies here
how come as i read through the forums on bitcointalk.org , i feel as if i am reading the manifesto of multiple psychotics...

spend a couple hours in each board, it shouldn't take too long.
I agree, definitly a waste of time
Rule is good, But waste of time.
Oh, just found the basic info in the sticky message/thread:

Is there a link/faq explaining these rules?

I think the 4 hour rule is great. Probably more important than the 5 post rule. I don't know how long it will take for me to have five things worth saying in the Newbies section where I'm skeptical about the quality of answers I'll get. But forcing me to read means that when I finally can ask questions I'll have better questions to ask.
If it were up to me I'd make it a two post/40 hour rule. That way I wouldn't be trolling through the newbie section looking for something that moves me to say something.
I mean, this post is an authentic expression of my opinion, but it's a waste of my time typing it and probably a waste of your time reading it.

I hate the 4 hours rule..
