I bet this site uses a cronjob to handle all user upgrades and such, would be on a timer, ie.. every 15 mins or such..

Wait for it ;)

Good luck. I'll keep this issue in mind when I get to 5 posts and can't post out of newbies yet.


Title: Re: 5 posts and 4+ hours still can't post anything?
Post by: otter on April 18, 2013, 06:56:53 AM
How are the 4 hours of activity added together?  Is it just time logged in or is it time actively posting and browsing?  Ugh I just wanted to post on a single auction...

Post by: gabridome on April 18, 2013, 08:13:17 AM
The five-post rule is automatically checked or reviewed by a moderator? If the latter is the case probably it will not take into account messages posted with the solely purpose of being able to post.

Geez read the newbie rules man! sticky at the top of the page in the newbie section....

Newbie Restrictions
You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have 5 posts and at least 4 hours on the forum.  The other two restrictions are you need 1 post to be able to send a PM and 10 posts to put a link in your sig.


now thats five posts for me :) woohoo, still got another 2 hours of browsing to do though.

You probabably don't actually have the hours. What does it say on 'Total time logged in:'?

Thanks. I thought 4 hours after registering. But 4 hours of activity makes sense


Title: Re: 5 posts and 4+ hours still can't post anything?
Post by: erikspoon on April 18, 2013, 12:35:56 PM
but how do they count the time do you need to actually do something the whole time or is it enough to be logged on?

Wait what? It's 4 hours of activity on the forum? That seems a bit rough, I thought it was just 4 hours from registering... hmmm hoping I'm close to my post count now at least.

This is the only forum I know that requires you to spam in order to allow you to post.

somehow this system is great to keep the trash out of the forum, but on the other hand, users like me, who were reading posts in an unregistered status need to wait before they can post anything and start to bid on auctions or reply to interesting threads  :-\


Title: Re: 5 posts and 4+ hours still can't post anything?
Post by: zordsdavini on April 19, 2013, 06:33:36 AM
I think it is good idea to have more then 4 post. It makes you to read content (4 h) and it you can found something really interesting it will hold you here more time.
