Title: Whats wrong with this forum?
Post by: november12 on November 28, 2013, 03:23:49 AM
I signed up on 12th November (hence the name) and have not been able to make 1 post! I log in and try and search and it says "You are doing that too quickly try again in 90 seconds". If I try to post it says wait 360 seconds. Really? Wtf? How does anyone contribute to these forums. I've tried changing my IP and it still doesn't work.

Can't close the screen and do something else
Timer only counts if your reading pages and actively browsing

This happened to me too in the beginning.

It should get better.

It is a precaution to prevent bots and spammers. The time limit fades down to nothing as you post more and more.

Its to prevent scammers/spammers/trolls and Advertisers. They actually have a pretty good system to keep unwanted forums and such. It also helps with not drastically changing the post count some people need for free btc from Sigs.

I think you need a certain number of posts and a certain amount of time spent browsing the newbie forum before you become a member with full privileges

Every higher rank (member status) has lower waiting times. You increase your member status with higher activity (more posts)

Okey, it really helps now that we know every higher rank (member status) has lower waiting times.

THANKS for the clear and understandable explanation!  :)

It is extremely annoying for a person like me who tends to lurk more and is not so chatty. I don't really want to HAVE to post inane comments and the such, but it is the way the forum works, so if I want to do anything here I have to give in to the rules or else leave.
