the sense of 5 posts is.... none, better way would be 0.01 or 0.005 btc to get full access.

What sucks isn't having to come up with five posts... any of us could do that in a matter of minutes, blindfolded and standing on our heads...
what sucks is posting five messages... then having to lurk here for four freakin' hours to gain access to the message board for which we came here to participate...
I am not here to debate Bitcoins and Bitcoin companies and Bitcoin fees and all that jazz...
I am here because I utilize a specific website that will only communicate to its users through a message board on this site...
So, yes, there is a website owner out there... we'll call him 'Peter'... who has a wonderful entertainment website that is tons of fun to use...
but if you want to comment on it, or if you want to report a bug, you have to come here and be a newb for FOUR HOURS before you are allowed to post your comments/complaints on his own message board...
maybe that is genius...
what if you bought something from Walmart that was broken... and then you couldn't return it until you went through four hours of a 'How To Return Something' orientation seminar...
it would certainly cut down on their returns, huh?
like I said... his name must be 'Richard'...

I refuse to post simply for the sake of filling the newbie board with fluff.
Oh wait...
Oh wait...
Robots don't like fluff, which is a well known fact. These fluff posts are actually spambot repellent.

I like the idea of a tiny initial fractional charge for posting; plenty of other forums out there have a small one-time fee to keep the trolls and spammers out. It is a bit of a hassle to build up five newbie posts so that I can thank the cudaminer devs and post my rig specs for feedback.

Oh wait...
then I shall do my duty as well, to fill the newbie board with fluff...
oh good, is this the worthless post thread? if soi here is worthless post #3 for me. 
there is no requirement that your posts be worthless. try doing 5 worthwhile posts.
Also not a fan of worthless posting... 1 down 4 to go!
they make us because they can
If you don't see the point of worthless posts, well frankly, don't make worthless posts. There's plenty of opportunity in the newbie section to make valuable posts.
I see the point of making worthless posts for me: I'm making this post, to escape from newbie island.From the perspective of the moderators or other users I can't see the point, because the hurdle - while annoying - is easy to overcome.

I also don't see the point

yeah, so still doesn't make any sense.
if a bot spams the forums, at least the spam will be isolated in the newbies forum and not all over the place.
Ok, much better
Hopefully the bot will be spotted in the next 4hrs. 
yeah, so still doesn't make any sense.

scammers and bots don't bother to post anything of value thats the value of it.
Haven't seen any bot posts? They will get to thousands of posts in a matter of secs
mostly junk though such as advertisments
