It is allowed and accepted, but most members will be extremely worried about dealing with a newbie. You would be better off giving away a few "vouch copies" of your service/good to trusted members for in-depth reviews. That way you can get the ball rolling in the right direction.

You won't get many people here who want to use credit cards or paypal, they all use Bitcoin (after all, this is the Bitcoin Forum). Say that you accept Bitcoin (first) and then say that you also accept credit cards/paypal if the buyer wants it. Also, always use escrow. This protects you so that you get paid for doing work, and the buyer so that he gets what he paid for. If you say that you don't accept escrow, then you will likely get neg repped and called a scammer.

1) +respect for attempting to determine if something is against the rules prior to taking to action in order to ensure that you conform with the forum rules

2) as mentioned above many times, there are no restrictions as to where you can post that relate to your rank (you are not allowed to post in "important announcements" unless you are a VIP, global moderator, or admin, however your account will not allow you to post if you do not meet this criteria).

You should be aware however that there are a large number of scammers who create newbie accounts in order to attempt to scam, so any newbie account posting in marketplace sections will be met with an elevated amount of skepticism.

I understand how you feel OP, but you have to understand that the forum is designed to keep people aware that the scam can be waiting for them behind every corner. Most of the scams are done exactly by the newbies, like PayPal buying scams, etc..

Don't take this personal, we all had to go through this, remember this.

Get over it bro, it only takes a month to reach jr. member so if you want to remove that warning message, wait until you turn jr.

Go on then. What do you suggest as a solution? The warning is there because impersonation by newbs of higher ranked members was becoming rife and they had actually been successful in scamming people. Since this warning was put into place I don't believe there's been a single successful scam this way so it works.

You'd be surprised how many people fall for it. Thse types of scams made away with at least 15k that I know of, probably more that I don't know of.

It's not a big deal, get over it.

 Let's just put it this way, people here are literate enough to understand why there is a warning and lliterate enough not to complain about it. Get over it.

doesnt really sound fair to new fair users. how about for a solution we do this: that warning only gets sent once to a person that the newbie is pming with? like they only get the message the first time

Seeing his Personal message I'd guess he is doing some website designing. Good info though, should be kept in mind by every newbie.

You can do so, just be sure you on't break any of the rules here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=703657.0 . We treat newbies as pretty much as normal members, so no need to be afraid.

Well this guy only made 3 posts in almost 2 years. At this rate he would not get out of Newbie for another 8 years. If he has nothing to say, should he really be forced to make empty posts? Maybe the wording should be less dramatic.
