Everything gets saved in draft and it says to wait for 360 seconds. There after the wait when I resubmit it says post has already been submitted while it doesnt appear.

You went back to the reply box by clicking the 'back arrow' or by pressing backspace. If you want to post, then go to the thread and click reply and type what you want and then post. If it is a big post, it is better to go to the drafts(https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=drafts - you can go here by clicking drafts under preview button) and copy it and click reply button on the thread you want to post, then paste it and post.

And, the waiting time will decrease when your rank increases. See these threads for details : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=582736.0 .

It happens sometimes when you go back/refresh or something like that.

and for the Timing here is how it works :

Quote
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);

It's definitely because when you're a newbie, you could only post every 6 minutes. This is to prevent spam from new members. Once you get to jr member, you should be able to post more often. At the member rank, you don't have to worry about waiting and so on with the ranks.

When it gives you 360 seconds  again hit back and and copy/paste your comment in a notepad and CLOSE that tab.
Then give it a try after 360sec again. It happens sometimes i have had similar problems in my early days too.

You need an activity of 30 for be a junior member. Bookmark this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0) and keep a watch at the activity bumps.

If you are just looking to get away from the 6 minute limit, you just need 15 activity (but still a newbie). The time limit formula has already been posted in post 3 here.

If you are just looking to get away from the 6 minute limit, you just need 15 activity (but still a newbie). You can reach the goal next Tuesday at earliest.

Wait 16 activity.. what is defined as an activity?

You will get a max of 14 activity every two weeks if you make at least one post. :)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=237597.0

The activity number is determined in this way:
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

Activity is updated every hour.

In your case, you have posted in 2 different periods and have made 13 posts.
So your activity = min(28, 13) = 13

Oh I see. This should all be in a faq. The idea is good to keep spammers away. I have been on here under personal ID I just recently started urdubit so wanted an official id and now facing all these problems with post restrictions.

If only there were a sticky thread that covered forum ranks and positions and how they are calculated, then people would read it. Oh wait.

My apologies on that. But before I started this thread I couldnt even search it kept saying you have to wait as you are searching too fast. And since I couldnt post in other threads I figured let me start another thread this way atleast I can post something and maybe get eventually be able to get the restrictions removed.

You can always use external search engines by filtering their results using "site:bitcointalk.org", example (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Abitcointalk.org+activity). Granted, it's not the first result but it's there.
