Title: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: MangoJ on February 13, 2013, 06:56:14 PM I have created an account and been unable to find any "reply" button or any method to respond to any other post.
Creating this new topic under "Bitcoin Forum > Local > Other >" is the ONLY means I have to post on this forum. NO way is this happening to everyone or the admins would notice nobody is posting. Is my IP blocked or something? Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: yogi on February 13, 2013, 06:58:54 PM Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies). If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15911.0). Also: - Newbies cannot upload their own avatars. - You must have made one post in order to send PMs. - You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature. Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.) Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: MangoJ on February 23, 2013, 01:16:52 AM Ok, Thank you to the person that replied to me and told me whats up.
Due to trolls etc.. I have to be logged in for 4 hours, and have a bunch of posts. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: slikroad632 on February 23, 2013, 02:03:39 AM Yah sadly there has been alot of trolls on here according to other people.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: ishare on February 23, 2013, 04:22:46 AM it took me a while to figure out lol
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: MangoJ on March 06, 2013, 08:57:16 AM It would have been nice if the Welcome registration email told people that. But then the trolls would know.. and easily do what trolls do, and so new users like us have to be really interested to not give up on this site.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: DannyHamilton on March 06, 2013, 09:28:49 AM It would have been nice if the Welcome registration email told people that. - snip - It is pinned to the top section of the Newbies forum. You also should have seen this screen when you signed up: https://i.imgur.com/ci69hsR.png Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: bozak on March 06, 2013, 09:41:37 AM I've been wondering the same thing for awhile, I have plenty of hours logged in, but I never realized I needed the 5 posts in the newbie section.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: nova on March 06, 2013, 02:06:57 PM This tricked me as well.

So i will have to search these forums for 5 hours and write 5 totally pointless threads, until I can ask for help? Rethink it.. I have a problem, i have setup Litecoin and got a pool(s) and worker(s) and running with CGMiner and it says it's working and stuff, but the websits of the pools doesnt update or show any progress.. like it hasnt even been running.. any fix? Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: indianocean on April 07, 2013, 03:18:04 PM 2nd of 5... just remove this stupid rule.

If you look at the bitcointalk stats here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=stats) you can see the newbie board is the second most active on this forum. Create a post in the newbie board with the title 'Help CGMiner not updating' and I'm sure someone will help you solve your problem. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: MrPickles on April 07, 2013, 10:31:34 PM 2nd of 5... just remove this stupid rule. I agree Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: phrozenspite on April 07, 2013, 10:33:12 PM Good to see I had this question as well.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Hitchslap7 on April 07, 2013, 11:22:32 PM Well here's #5 ;D
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: CtmanGer on June 05, 2013, 05:36:42 AM Thank you for clarifying this. Was really worried, though I suspected auch a thing
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: excavator on June 05, 2013, 12:19:14 PM Well thats annoying.. So i will have to search these forums for 5 hours and write 5 totally pointless threads, until I can ask for help? Rethink it.. Totally agree with indianocean. This is an artificial restriction which may or may not be very effective in stopping "trolls" but is sure to create problems for any active new member. I now have a problem which is specific to slush's pool and I would like to post my question there, isntead I need to think up 5 silly non-informative replies in order to "go to the next level"... Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts?

Or . . . . . . . You could just post your question here in the Newbie Forum. Then later when you reach Jr. Member status you can move that post to the appropriate mining forum if you haven't yet received a useful answer. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: pinarello on June 07, 2013, 07:27:58 AM thank you foor this information.
i finally found what i am looking for. kind regards pinarello Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: pinarello on June 07, 2013, 07:30:45 AM Well here's #5 ;D is the rule off 5 post still is in place? if so this is the second post :) thank you Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts?

Post by: dutu on June 09, 2013, 12:32:23 AM BTW, I didn't get a registration mail. Is this normal?
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: jss! on June 09, 2013, 12:57:03 AM I was having this problem, i'm expecting post enough, cause i have months registered :/
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: MassiveInvestor on August 26, 2013, 11:28:30 AM Funny Every board works this way.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Adventure on August 26, 2013, 12:06:46 PM This rule snagged me too... I'm not a regular user of forums. This is the first one I've signed up for in ages. So I guess I'm not familiar with the process. But it would have been nice to get that information in a welcome email.
I've been wishing for post access to the alt-coin forum for a month now. Also, no 'help' email addresses listed anywhere. How about putting the "Newbies" forum at the top of the list of forums for anyone who can only post in Newbies? Then I wouldn't have missed it. As it is, I looked at the top few forums and never looked at the bottom ones. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: marcovaldo on August 26, 2013, 12:08:27 PM This rule snagged me too...

But if you are here for a month, you probably could have find the "NEWBIE README" thread and understood what you have to do before unlocking the altcoin forum Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts?

I didn't even realize it existed. I'm not a regular user of forums. I basically just logged on and read the alt-coin forum, waiting for the day that I could actually respond to some of the threads and looking for an email address to request help from. Yeah, I didn't look around enough. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: marcovaldo on August 26, 2013, 01:14:03 PM Perhaps I could have, but I wasn't looking for it.

Post by: MalcolmMan on August 26, 2013, 01:17:20 PM I didn't even miss the part about the newbie rule when registering but then I almost couldn't find this Newbies forum so I thought it's a lost cause lol
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Winslow Strong on August 26, 2013, 10:49:01 PM It's pretty annoying. I don't like posting just for the sake of posting. I think we should be able to sign via bitcoin days of addresses we control, or something more sophisticated like this :)

Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Lee_Ab on December 13, 2013, 07:18:22 PM Excellent rule!
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: xorbtc on December 13, 2013, 07:27:14 PM Yup good rule.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Kiki112 on December 13, 2013, 07:28:55 PM you can't because you're still not out of the newbie jail,
when you spend 4 hours on the forum you will be able to do so ;) Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: soloburrito on December 13, 2013, 07:30:21 PM Trying to reply even in the newbie section has been a pain.

Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: thimo on December 13, 2013, 11:17:43 PM This was where i was looking for thanks
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Pepsi1 on December 13, 2013, 11:34:31 PM I had this question too :-[
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: stephane.viglielmo on January 07, 2014, 03:17:32 PM Ok, it is the same for me.
I will wait. thanks a lot. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: b144bla on January 07, 2014, 03:21:34 PM ohh I need 4 hours ?
Now i get it Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: KrvnoZrnce on January 07, 2014, 03:30:34 PM So... who thought of stupid thing like this? Like seriously, are you f-in with me? I have to post on newbie forum (which I don't want to do cause I don't have anything to post here) so I can be able to actually comment on something that I'm interested in just because you are incapable to deal with troll accounts? Right... Ok... Well... Here comes 5 stupid posts...

Right... Ok... Well... Here comes 5 stupid posts... You never need 5 posts. Just make 1 post and then wait for 4 hours, is it really that difficult? Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: KrvnoZrnce on January 07, 2014, 03:55:57 PM It's not difficult but it's also useless and very annoying. It will not help solve any problems and it will not keep trolls and spam away but it is preventing me from posting for 4 hours.. I have something to say on any topic and I will wait for 4 hours and then get back and post it? Of course not... So, no, it's not difficult but is rather dull... Of course, that is only my opinion. And I have seen people spending tons of money on dogecoin and catcoin, so I guess nothing surprises me anymore...

Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: coinyeezus on January 07, 2014, 05:40:40 PM so from my understanding, it is 4 hours / 5 replies / 1 thread?
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: Dannie on January 08, 2014, 06:54:57 AM so from my understanding, it is 4 hours / 5 replies / 1 thread? No. Just make 1 post (either a new thread or a reply), and then wait 4 hours (no need to be online). https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0 Quote Newbie Restrictions You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: yak on January 08, 2014, 07:02:35 AM I guess this might as well be my first reply
even though I've had this account for a long time! :P Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: hero209 on January 08, 2014, 07:20:11 AM Me to, i cant reply post... Thank you to the person that replied to me and told me whats up. :)
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: xangma on January 08, 2014, 07:33:00 AM I had this problem for ages before I realised it was a restriction. This saddens me greatly as I have been a lurker for years, and often have useful posts to add, but can't until I make this (somewhat useless) post.
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: youneverknow on January 08, 2014, 09:32:26 AM thanks for the 4 hours and 5 posts of 'established' criteria...
Title: Re: Why cant I reply to any posts? Post by: patsoft on January 15, 2014, 08:32:08 PM Oh finally I figured it out thanks to this thread.
Now posting in an epic newb thread :) roflcopter! |
