How come I can't post??

How do I remove the 360second waiting time between posting?

Get 15 activity, and it will be gone.

Thanks Should be pretty close now.

Actually no. The activity updates every two weeks!

How is the activity calculated?

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

The admin says activity updates every 30 minutes, but I only see it update every two weeks.

You can find it here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0

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 30 minutes.

Hi everybody!

Here is my first post.

 

[mosselfloss]

Does this useless addition to this thread help in gaining privileges?

I certainly hope so!

[infinitybo]

Um not so sure about gaining a substantial privilege but I think that can offer us a few in gaining the opportunity to get out of this "newbie" board.

[RarsMover11]

ah yeah, so when you start posting you can get max 14 activity until 2 weeks after your first posts.
Well I guess I'll just have to have patience then.

I've tried mining some Quark and got about 15QRK in one day.

Nice! On what OS?

Windows Server 2012. I signed up for the Windows Azure 200$ credit 30-day trial and am running about 10 virtual machines.

All newbies should read this post first: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

Alright, so I'm also an idiot who had to search around to figure out that I can't post in a forum that I'm interested in until I've gotten through some kind of proving ground....  It would be nice if instead of just a lack of Reply button on all threads, there was also a message that alerted me to my unworthiness.  
  
May I ask what the purpose of this quarantine is?  Being that the whole bitcoin/altcoin community is about decentralized authority and freedom, I'm curious who the arbiters of speech are here and how one may properly present oneself to curry favor with them?  
  
I wish to speak with the members of this thread and offer my skills in development to the possible furthering of their goals:

If you could please inform them that I await without, I shall endeavor in patience.

Because you're a newbie! What is it like 5 posts and 4 hours? Damn.

it's 1 post and 4 hours as i recall...  or 5 but i am sure that's it's 1 post

What is this college?  Do I have to chug a beer and run through the quad naked too?  Had I better watch what I say here or else I might have to wait 8 -12 hours before being able to contribute something useful?
 
That's the sort of impression I get when I see any group that doesn't listen to new people without making them jump through (seemingly) arbitrary hoops... my real question is, who is being excluded and to what end?  Are you trying to stop trolls, bots, scammers?  Or is someone else undesirable?  People who talk bad about bitcoin, are they excluded? 
 
Right now it sounds like the attitude is "we were here first, you guys need to prove your worth before we'll let you in our club"... right it's only 4 hours, but it's also a slippery slope. 
 
"I have to wear a star on my arm?  What for?" 
"Because you're a Jew!  What is it, a patch on your jacket? Damn." 
 
PS - Totally aware that I have broken Godwin's Law in my second post here... but if I have to make posts and waste 4 hours here I might as well have fun.

Yes, it is 1 post and 4 hours, according to the sticky newbie readme.

[BillionCoin]

Need to be verified to post new thread.

[Vacces]

Need to be verified to post new thread.

What are you talking about?

[ozzymax]

you have to post in the newbie section for so many post and browse here for 4 hours before getting access to post

like I have the time to browse for 4 hours.! I need answers to questions which I can't get from forum members because I can't post anything in the relevant threads. this ludicrous. what dummy came up with this system? someone probably still sucking on his thumb and sucking on him mommy's titty. dumb ass

[Gameos]

ok so I have to write a post and then wait 4 hours to be able to write posts in other topics ... so I'll wait

[Exther]

I am also trying to get a few posts in so that I can post a thread in Service Discussion. My BTC-e account was hacked. Common story I know. It's my fault I know. But my story has a twist. I have been working closely with BTC-e administration, but now the conversation has taken a very strange twist. I want to describe it in detail. But I need a few post, and I need to wait 4 hours or whatever.
