...it's so simple!

All you have to do is join in this thread and provide a better solution to the 5 post + time limit. If it works, it'll get implemented.

Please note, you have to fully explain why it's better than the existing system and explain how it'll work whilst being no more time intensive for Mods to implement.

Good luck everyone!

I have surpassed the 5 post limit and the time limit and still I cannot post...

What am I doing wrong?

It's not about the quantity of posts, it's also about the quantity of time!

would be funny if the 5 post needed to be "a good post", like 500 characters+ approved by moderators

The limit is annoying (I'm still a newbie as I just joined 30 mins ago) but I do understand why its there. Right now, I don't have any better solution so I'm just dealing with it.

In that vein, I think another reason for the 5-post count is to gently change the newbie mindset:

from something like "I've got to make five stupid posts when all I want to do is make a really important post as soon as I'm out of this stupid prison. What a dumb place this is that I really really want to join. They're obviously a bunch of idiots and I demand my right to join them right now or I'll hold my breath and turn blue..."

to something like "I can't think of anything useful to say right now, so I'll go and do some reading and when I have something interesting to say I'll say it and perhaps if readers find my post interesting we'll engage in conversation about it and I'll learn some stuff and... hey, I just noticed I've got more than five posts already so I'd better start to think seriously about how I can contribute to the other discussions that I'll be getting access to."

The present system isn't foolproof but it's better than many fora have. Lotta noise on the Interwebz.

If that's the goal it's not working very well because I see plenty of stupid things being posted in the other topics.

From what I can gather the newbie jail has nothing to do with anything. It's just a hazing ritual like you would see at a fraternity or something.

I like the 5 post limit, I even implemented it on my forum, but today I'm annoyed.
Just lurked for weeks never noticed that there is no reply button, and today, when I need it, it's missing, so here I am.

There's got to be a quicker way to vet that people are literate before letting them converse with the general population.

If only someone would create a thread for people like you so they could get engaged and converse and before they know it, they'll be out of newbie prison...

What if you have to have mined a certain total amount of coins & successfully made a transaction, i.e: cashing out whatever amount of BTC you just earned to your wallet. This way, people who DON'T have four hours to refresh, at least may have that time available for their PC to be on.

I'm in an odd spot where I started mining but never logged on to these forums, so now I'm trying to get some help but need to get past this 5 post & four hour requirement..

I just wish my pool had better ways to get suport..

So you want support from a community you don't want to abide the rules of?

If only you'd read enough about the community to know it had these rules...

I'd like to advocate for a timed 10-15 minute multiple choice test on topics involving Bitcoin and related technologies.

My timely escape from this newbie prison has been frustratingly hindered by a genuine and uncontrollable apathy for most any topic in here, and as a result I've found it curiously difficult to reach the paltry 5-post requirement. Really, the newbie restriction is probably doing more harm than good to a rapidly growing community like this one. People get here excited about Bitcoin, usually spending most of their time reading until they eventually find a reason to post, but then, alas, the tragedy. There's got to be a quicker way to vet that people are literate before letting them converse with the general population.
