unleash me please
I've been reading this and mining bitcoin for over 2 years but I never bothered to join. Kicking myself now because I'd like to check out ripple and I missed the give away. Hopefully the do another one.

How does it govern the time I've been logged in? I've been logged in for hour upon hour upon hour. Yet it reckons I'm still only on 3:31 
One year very very very soon, I'll be able to post......

So I've just spent hours reading through a thread about the ciarnsmores. Yet I'm still at 3:40. Methinks the script checking logged in time is broken......
One of the most restrictive forums I've seen. But if the content remains good, no complaints here 
Meh, rather spend time dealing with the restrictions than sort through massive amounts of spam...
It's not really that bad - some forums require 30 or even 50 posts.
In the mean time..thats another post for me 
That's clever indeed. I should try this later. 
its sucks hard
i cant help nobody being a newbie...so i try to read as much as i can.
Its kind of sad that i need to post 5 messages..even if they are just to achieve 5 posts

Stop whining, I crossed the Noob restriction within the 1st day of my registration. (as far as i can remember)
I agree with some kind of restriction...but how can i newbie post 5 messages in newbie forum?
Thats the same as trolling...posting 5 messages with no content
Newbie to forum does not mean newbie in mining.
I have some questions to ask, but they only fit in other "pro" threads.

I think this newbie restriction is fair. Its makes spam bots way easier to spot as well.
Well, at least the spam bots have it harder, seems reasonably.

It does suck but i guess it's necessary. I read a lot here but rarely post. Guess I should get involved a little more.
Yeah kinda sucks, long time reader new poster. Meh. -.-
I think it is a reasonable requirement if you want users that aren't out to hit and run the place. May have to put the same type of restrictions on my forum that is not related to mining. I get flooded with spambots daily.
I'm about to receive 3 cairnsmore1's and a rainbow pi and wanted to post a "anyone got a howto or any tips?" in the custom hardware/fpga section - then find I have to make 5 posts to be able to do that. Why?
Because the owners and mods here dont want new guys to come in all guns blazing and talk about random stuff that already might have been discussed.
You want to be treated as a normal member here, you gotta do everything OTHER normal members did to get where we are today
Besides this is a good method to keep a check on the number of guys actually getting into to real deal so that the casual by passer can just pass us by
It's supposed to be four hours, isn't it? Is that not just four hours from registration? Do you have to be actually viewing the site?

is right, to keep the forum clean
yeah. keep it clean from evil machines by forcing the newbies through something like a mass turing test. funny. tough restrictions, but well worth it after right?
Yeah, but a major pain in the butt.
