Newbie restrictions

[trasp]

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...).

The restrictions suck, but anything that's worth something has a price.  This isn't that bad for a better deal and an inside look at BTC.

After my Newbie probation is over, May I move my topic from here to an appropriate forum or will that be looked down upon as double posting?

You can actually move your topic. The link will appear at the bottom of all of your topics once you are no longer a newbie.

Interesting. I've never seen a forum give regular users permission to do that before.

so how can I remove this restriction?

I was wondering why it is impossible for my profile to post a new topic in mining section. Now I know...

[higbvuyb]

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

Actually, it seems to me that "time online" restriction is the harshest. At least for me, since the timer seems to be working weirdly (I've spent about 7 minutes logged in, and it says 3... odd)

Bahhh I am guessing I still need the 4 hours online... booooooooo

It goes quick...

Always a good idea to have some sort of boundary's keeps the rif raf away and better posts on the board.

I swear... I have been reading for 3+ hours and I'm still at "1 hours and 24 minutes." lol

Just leave your browser open overnight while you're mining.

The restrictions are quite bothersome, but I suppose I understand why they need to be put in place. A forum like this is probably a beacon for bots, scammers, and whatnot. Just think, in the long-run, it's probably beneficial to you.

[finchfrank]

so now I know how to remove this restriction - so let me start from here

[dodecagon]

why would bots and scammers want to get to the non-newbie section? and aren't they easy to spot/ban? seems like the posting restrictions mandates meaningless replies like this one. i'm new to bitcoins/mtgox/dwolla etc and this seems like the best place to go-if i could get in. post one complete....

Well, since this is the place to post those abhorrent, "golly, I'm new and I have to post enough rubbish to actually be able to sit down with the big kids and talk for real" posts, here is my first. And like so many others utterly devoid of worthwhile content. Of course, in about 3.71 hours I will be full of great content, but until then, ticket punched, number one.

Wait, I threw my ticket away. I was suppose to keep it? Now I know why I'm still waiting to board the Bitcoin Express. Bah. Guess I gotta wait for the next train.

Since I'm still here, does anyone know of a repair depot that would repair out of warranty video cards?

Yeah the post requirement seems kind of ridiculous, but imagine a maybe a coding issue.  If it is really to stop spam they should have a maximum 1 post per hour limit for the first 20 days or something.

1 Post Down WooHoo.
