Newbie restrictions

[peterpiper]

Definitely a good post, just need people to read the damn thing to work out why they can't post in the regular forums!

I was wondering why I can't reply to other threads.  I guess I know now.

[jewy]

Yeah, I was wondering the same.

Yeah.... Despite the fact that I've spent waaaaaaaaaay more than 4 hours on this forum already. But whatever.

Thanks for the info

[flowerpower]

Ha, earned my four hours! On my way to explore the rest!

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts.

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.
- You need 50 posts to put an image in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.

man, i was kinda in a hurry

I understand the point of this, I just wish I could post my question related to mybitcoin as I have a question on the claim process.

I was looking for the reply button in a couple of threads in the 'main board' and couldn't find it, now I know why LOL

[plogank]

Good policy. I don't resent it at all.  Considering my interest in Bitcoins, it won't take long anyway.  LOL

Given the nature of forums in general, can't say I'm really shocked that this is in place. Makes sense. Annoying? Sure. But makes sense.

It's sad that this forum has to resort to such measures.

I can understand it's been done but it's still sad.

[WeaponsGrade]

I think this is good quality control.

[tradecoinz]

I wish it was a bit simpler...I hate spammers just as much as the next guy, but still.

[sicarius]

I think its pretty beat that I can't post wherever I want, but that just me.

So my reward for mining my last block on Slush's pool was 0.002 instead of my usual 0.05 and now I find that I can't even post on Slush's forum to try and figure out what is going on and get it fixed since I need 5 posts and 4 hours. This wouldn't be a problem if there was some other way to contact Slush, but in this case these Newbie rules are really a pain.

Understandable but a bit annoying if you try to reply the first time on a "normal" topic

That sounds totally reasonable.
