posting here to lift my post count limit as I am unable to post.

I think 5 posts is fair to me.
5 posts is fair, but I would have liked some notification of this when I signed up. I thought I was going crazy when I was unable to reply to threads. I had to Google it to find the newbie forum that said you needed to do 5 posts in here and then wait some hours. I agree with it, but it should have been more clearly stated in the signup process.
5 posts is nothing 4 hours is something.
5 posts is easy, it is the waiting that is hard.
5 posts is not really a lot, there are so many threads around for you to reply
Anyone advocating a donation/payment upfront doesn't realise how much of a barrier this would be to newbies.
I reckon most would rather join an alternative forum.

My solution is to spam post in this thread 5 times...
I know it is meant to stop spam, but all you are going to get is 5 spam posts just so the person can post in the section they want. I actually want to post in a thread I am buying some hardware from, but I can't unless I put 5 useless "+1" posts somewhere...

But I understand the limitation.
Theoretically, there should be some sort of registration question/s that could determine whether you're already competent/civil in order to exempt from the posting requirement.
How about a tiny bitcoin donation to a good cause as an alternative ? 
Best idea so far, perfectly takes out the trolls and leaves serious people.
Just don't think about it. Just keep posting.
Does it require more than 5 because I think I am at 5 now.

5 posts is fair enough to assess new forum members
Also instead of 5 posts or 4 hours another member with at least 200 posts can "vouch" for a newbie. His account is then tied to the newbie's and if the newbie gets banned then the vouching member gets banned.
What's the incentive to vouch in that case?
Appreciate that newbies need to pass the tests but the 5 post limit does mean that they are posting purely to make up their 5 and are not necessarily helping to signal to noise ratio

imho 5 posts are fine. 4 hours maybe more annoying - but at least you will see what is going on the forum
What's the actual goal this is trying to accomplish? Human nature being what it is people will do what they must to simply get through it. Incentivized behavior needs to be more subtle and not spelled out as do x, y many times.
