Title: Errors when using the forum
Post by: mesmoina on September 26, 2018, 02:22:10 PM
How can newbies avoid platform errors?  ??? I can?t post. The search does not work and my messages get saved as draft even before properly being posted. I am definately not behind a vpn or that kind of thing. Without a good search it is daunting to find previous related posts.  :-\

There is a cooldown of 6 minutes between each action when you are a Newbie.

It gets better as you post and increase your activity. This is the formula:
Code:
waittime = 360;
if(activity >= 15)
        waittime = (int)(90 - activity);
if(activity >= 60)
        waittime=(int)(34.7586 - (0.0793103 * activity));
if(activity >= 100)
        waittime = max((int)(14-(activity/50)), 4);

As a newbie focus more on observation rather than posting to avoid spam post. Only make reasonable post or ask questions that are of qualities and there are time limitations between post the time will reduce as you climb the ladder I wish you all the best

Newbie has limited features unlike higher rank members if you wan't to increase your limitation you can buy a copper rank here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

And about for search bar in the top right of this page it doesn't work so use the magnifying glass left side of the search bar or click the search button in the middle of help and donate or between help and donate button above of this page.

Or here is the direct link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=search;advanced

Holycrab that's going to slow them down. Reporting twitter and facebook post can't be stopped with this cooldown though but I guess this will lead them to participate more on the discussion than just posting reports on bounty threads. They can still end up by buying copper rank which is an easy out, if the newbie spam with copper rank continues, it would be profitable for the forum to raise the price of it.

I seem to have the same sort of issues  ;) It doesn't matter whether you use a VPN or something like that)
I hope these are only our poor forum skills  ::)
