Title: This seems counter productive
Post by: Prinzert on December 10, 2013, 03:57:10 PM
I registered an account because I wanted to offer my services to the devs of a specific coin.
However, I can't send PM's or reply to that coin's thread without posting here for a while first.
Doesn't this just encourage me spamming the newbie forum with useless posts until I'm allowed to do what I signed up for?

Tried to submit this post and get:
"The last posting from your IP was 360 seconds ago"... I checked the firewall for our 20 person office, and nobody else is on the bitcoin forum....

that 360 second error is probably a bug, i tried posting in some thread and received it, got back to thread clicked the reply again and it worked

It's a large bug that you cannot image.

You only have to post once here and wait 4 hours (must not be 4 online hours within the forum afaik), so it does indeed not encourage spamming. Also the guide recommends that you post your question here, chances are that you get an answer anyway.

They are probably just trying to get people to learn about the site a bit before posting.

Well, this is bitcointalk.org, not altcointalk.org. Many altcoins have their own forums and usually don't piggyback on this one for long.

I'm just yet another person doing the counterproductive and posting here. Nothing to see, please move along. :P

(Now to wait 4 hours before I can participate in talk about Black Arrow's ASIC boards.)

Sigh..me too. :(
Sorry. I need to make this meaningless post, in order to make some meaningful posts in the future. Yes, this is really just couter-productive.

Don't sigh. Wait for 4 hours.

You can do better than that what you can do now.

Good luck.
