When it's done. They're not going to answer that question, period.

Can someone explain what is exactly the purpose of this?

to stop the abuse.

What abuse?

I have never seen this NSFW/gay porn pics anywhere yet.. (I am the Marketplace-Meta-Off-topic kind of user ) where are these threads that is abusing this privilege located?

(Just curious)

Can't the newbie simply post the images in the second post

no. they need to wait until they have reached 30 activity. I think you're confusing newbies for brand new members.

Second post after OP, mate. You get what I am talking about?

Edit: I think none of the images posted by newbies appear? or just the ones on the OP?

at the speculation section, mostly. you could find them all the time if you go there frequently or if you're using the patrol page.

edit:
you see that thread titled "THE LIST" in this section? well, 90% of the users on the list does that. they're (most of them, anyway) just one person's sockpuppets.

May have been good to give some warning. There are ANNs using accounts created just for managing the thread, like this one, that will now need to make Jr quickly just so the ANN displays correctly again.

Thank you for the info, was wondering what happened to my images

really? from your post history I see you were already a Jr. Member even before this thread was made.

@ndnhc

ndnhc have you never been in this thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.268780

I think it's the biggest (in page & post count) thread on the forum. There was a poster called NotLambChop who was a Hero Member I think. He/she used to relentlessly troll with pics mocking bitcoiners, he/she used memes laughing at falling prices, chinese war sort of memes, he/she used to quote loads of FUD & find negative articles about bitcoin all over the internet.

He/she got banned & returned with literally hundreds of alts & sock puppets, it got worse then though. He/she keeps getting every account banned. He/she not that long ago started calling bitcoiners pedophiles & then posted loads & loads of gay porn, sometimes really old men lol.

It was very graphic tbh. Any way that's why theymos has stopped newbies being able to upload photos to the forum. NotLambChop is always around with new accounts spreading FUD & trolling people, the only difference is now his/her main weapon is gone (pics, memes, porn).

A couple of users contacted me about it and I explained and directed them to this thread. Personally, I agree with this change and directing users to this thread is easy from a moderation point of view.

Any way that's why theymos has stopped newbies being able to upload photos to the forum.

As I was explaining earlier in the thread, pretty sure that guy isn't the reason for this. That guy is a little nuissance, but nuking his accounts takes a couple of seconds.

NLC was/is one of the most intrusive spammers of this forum. I wonder why he doesn't contain his enthusiasm to troll bitcoiners in /r/buttcoin. NotLambchop, if you're reading this go to https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/. Those guys are praising you.

Exactly... the AudioCoin thread now it's a bunch of links....

How many post until a user has "Jr. Member" status?

30 to be exact but for the activity update you gotta wait 6 weeks if you're at 0 activity, 4 weeks if you're at 14 activity and 2 weeks if you're at 28 activity.

Newbies need more restrictions i think. I know most people here are experienced dudes but it is frustating when you see newbies crying for a loan without collateral.

[ournem]

This is probably generally a good policy.

[rajachanger]

If you have to post it, then yes. As soon as you become a junior member the images that you have previously posted will be shown.

thanks for info now i know why my image doesn't appear in forum

Due to abuse, newbie-posted embedded images are now disabled on these pages:
- Topic display
- Recent posts / patrol
- Previews
They're not currently hidden in PMs or on some other pages (like a user's "show posts" page), though I might change that later if it seems necessary.

Disabled images get transformed into links automatically. When the poster becomes a Jr member, the images that he tried to post previously will automatically be re-enabled (though there might be a few minutes of delay).

This extends to all past posts as well as future ones.

When do i become a  Jr member ?

When your activity is 30 or higher.

[MvpLineup]

How many posts do I have to make to get to jr. Member?  I'm assuming activity and posts are not 1:1
