Blah... can't believe trolls ruin my ability to associate / give me commentary on a seller

[more_now]

I guess it's necessary if a bit harsh.

[Whitenoise]

very fair

Okay, I get it, now I'm a real newbie

Hi, Brian H here.  First post.  No plans yet about how to acquire bitcoins or how I'd use them, just exploring.

Fair enough, since I only need to send PMs.

I have to say this restriction is quite frustrating.  I'm trying to create a webpage providing a bitcoin service (admittedly a lighthearted one) and I'd like some advice...except I can't ask anyone anything in the real forums.  I'm sure it can't be helping bitcoin uptake if you have to jump through so many hoops just to be able to say hello.  Surely there must be another way to cut spam?

I must say, it's very annoying to have to actually do this.

On one hand i guess i understand, but 4 hours online first ?
Where did that come from!?

[Dinoking]

It's all good 

[DrZaius]

It's only 4 hours / 5 posts. Nothing you have to post can really be that important

[jriley1087]

First post here...I've used other sites to exchange but I'm looking for something a bit more consistent.

[silverchair]

Stick to the rules

I've been logged in for 4 hours and 8 minutes, and have > 5 posts; yet I still can't post outside this board?

[casinobitco]

disregard my last post, I can reply to other threads now

[jbspider]

Yes, having to post 5 messages in the Newbie forum seems a bit much.

4 hours is the magic robot/troll insurmountable waist high fence.

5 posts on the other hand, is just some dumb arbitrary measure...

But when you have to do these five posts in the newbiesection is going to be hard to not spam... I would like to discuss some merged mining with namecoin, what a awesome project btw, and maybe even ask doublec if he's going to put up a pool for that (and maybe even skip those crappy fees, the profit from rounding should be enough for such a site)... How am I going to make five more of these weird posts... (the ironic thing is that I've wanted to reply to many threads the last couple of months but never got around to create the account and thus have neither replies nor onlinetime, suppose the cookies or something kicks you out after a short while or this whole thing would be useless...).
