Topic: Way to get round the 5 post limit... - page 12. (Read 10381 times)
5 posts with a minimum membership time is a good solution, maybe not active time on the threads as some people dont like to just lurk for blocks of time
i think it is nice as it is, but let the newbs Reply in all the other boards. since there is wery littel to do in the "newb jail" with out it´s just being some replys here and there, with no "real" thoughts.

This is all god questions, but maby make a "answer this questions and become a member system"

Hi, Welcome to newbie prison. Hope you enjoy your stay.
Yes, Nombre Cinqo!
My thoughts regarding the requirements:
[1] 5 posts requirement:
What if instead of going for quantity, we go for quality of the post?
With the five posts requirement, I find myself asking questions, or posting comments that I know I am not personally as enthusiastic or interested in.
Perhaps in the future, if we could either require 5 posts or 1 to 2 substantive post. This is based purely on the length of the message.
I find that usually lengthy posts are ones where individuals have lots to say, and therefore are really engrossed in the subject.
Don't we want to promote that kind of forum? Rather than just random rambling such as "this is my 5th posts, yah!"?
Instead, we have consolidated thoughts all in one post where each individual member can say their one big piece, and then get engrossed into the community.
[2] Time Requirement:
Instead of 4 hours on the forum, I would suggest lowering it down to 2 or 3 hours. I believe that is a sufficient amount of time for barrier.
People such as myself join the Bitcoin Talk community to engage and contribute back. Therefore while I do understand the restriction, I think it is also important to find the right balance between proper deterrence and appropriate encouragement of a constructive community.
A third option
Perhaps we can have a mandatory video viewing. Those that are truly interested, may pay acute attention, those that do not, continue to do what they do. This way, those that would like to learn more about Bitcoin and the forum, would be well informed.

I'm okay with five posts and I'm going to try to make my fifth post meaningful.
5 posts is even too less ... too many trolls on this forum. I would make it 50 posts and a one month waiting period.
5 post frustrations
I just hope my first 5 posts do not have to make much sense. I have some ideas about to write about, but have no time atm and need to post my details for a transaction in the forum.
The 5 post limit is ok.
I'm okay with the 5 post limit.
Frustrating... but necessary I guess.
Changed my mind. 4 hours of constant activity is far from necessary. We don't all live on the Internet for 18 hours a day!
All I want to do is participate in some PXC coin discussion. I made my 5 posts but because I have not spent 4 frigging hours flipping through pages I still can not post. I have been lurking here for quite a while but never bothered signing up. I can see how that was a mistake! I'd easily be up to my 4 hours by now.
I think 30 - 60 minutes of activity in conjunction with the 5 posts would be more than enough.
I hope the 4 hour requirement can be relaxed a little moving forward.
I think it could be 5 posts or 5 recommendations from existing members.
I don't mind the requirement. There should be an I.Q. test before people are allowed to buy crypto.

6 posts would also be ok.
But no more...
I'm okay with 5 posts
glad i found this thread. was wondering why i couldn't post anywhere. 4 hours seems a bit excessive but i'll wait it out i suppose.
Unfortunately, the 5 post limit was made for users exactly like you

Okay, Im newb here, so I'll do some reading and some posting 
Good on you
You really should read the Pirate thread - it's huge, entertaining and will give you an insight on what to watch out for so you don't get scammed.

5 posts. This is just me contributing. I would think that some sort of quiz might help- for example if someone doesn't know what SHA256 is (time the questions to prevent googling?). Just a thought.
SHA-256 and SHA-512 are novel hash functions computed with 32- and 64-bit words, respectively. They use different shift amounts and additive constants, but their structures are otherwise virtually identical, differing only in the number of rounds.
That being the case, please name and explain the 2012 update to the standard and how it improves security. Please use no more than 3000 words and provide your mathematical working on the graph paper provided.
