apart from there being plenty of threads also in this section which invite to conversation, why do you think there are threads like "Let's Count to 21 Million with Images"? See it as some kind of ironic, subtle CAPTCHA test, which, apparently, you failed.  Embarrassed

I have 5 posts, but I am still Newbie. :-(

You're the reason why there's a 5 post + time limit on newbies.

I'm still a newbie, but Amen.

First document I read was the Newbie Readme. Readme = READ ME!

What doesn't kill you only makes you sicker!
Certainly not in every case. As an experienced member you probably know better that there happen to be unique questions once in a while. Wink

Of course but there needs to be some mechanism in place to avoid the problems if it wasn't in place. This just happens to be the best current solution. If there's a better one that would solve the same issues and cause less inconvenience for genuine newbies then it would most likely be adopted.

What is it everyone's so desperate to post that it can't wait 5 posts?

Even once you've made 5 posts, you still can't post outwith this area until after 4 hours.

That'll give you plenty of time to read other threads and stumble across the answer you're looking for.

I'm steadily taking my time, wading through mostly nonsense, but I've found some really interesting stuff. Smiley

This is not the only forum where similar rules are enforced. It allows the moderator and other people to find and report spammers before they start flooding the main boards of the forum. It is also a friendlier part of a forum as "new member" questions are expected in here.

Please refer to the following post (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/newbie-readme-177133) for more information.
