1.  When I first joined I could not post anywhere and wasted an hour figuring out that that was the forum design and that I had to go to some NEWBIE section.  Should have been advised at the start.
2.  Often I get an error when I post where all my writing is erased and nothing posts.  It says too many posts but I did not post recently.
3.  When I search it says error you must wait 90 seconds.  
All this is totally idiot.  No one should have to put up with this bs.  Figure out some other ways to deal with spammers, trolls, disrupters, and bots!  No other forum puts all these errors and if they do they should not either!  In any case the forum should be more considerate and advise people where is the NEWBIE section and to go there first.  Then fix those other errors.  Much time wasted.

1. Have no comment on this as I cannot remember whether it tells you to check the newbie section when you first signup.

2. As a newbie, you need to wait for 360 seconds before between each post; logging in and searching will reset the time as well.

3. I seldom use the search function. Instead I use google search with "site:bitcointalk.org"

Might I add for all the nearly paranoid concern about spammers I never saw any but I often see paid ads!  Next, another suggestion, in jest: Start a DAC (distributed autonomous corporation) to go after the spammers and bots, let them not us feel the heat.  Reminds me of when I boarded an airline to China and they actually sprayed the passengers with some chemical.  Of course, when I arrived in China it was dirtier than any other place I had been.

'Sprayed the passengers with some chemical' - I'm surprised you actually found your way to the airport to board any flight and that you didn't get lost on the way.

I think you'll find that the spraying of pesticide/insecticide is quite common practice and has nothing to do with how clean you presume the country you are travelling to actually is.

Get BitcoinTalk++, then, if you find disappearing posts so annoying.

It isn't this buggy. You previously needed to post in the newbie section and admin removed that now.  Regarding the "not posting" I totally agree that it's annoying when a first post is denied and you are told you need to reopen. The search is 90 seconds between each search and the next search and after login so I don't think it's that bad since it's reduced with time (and the owner is the one deciding that so it's not a bug)

Yes I agree. These limits only exist to send the message that noobs are dumb and please don't bother us Hero members with your drabble.

I use this forum less because it is so offensive.
