Newbie restrictions

[sid]

yeah, i want unrestricted access too

[john44]

thank you for this information 
I was wandering in the forum and couldn't understand why I couldnt reply or send a PM to a member I wished to talk to.

I vote for this process to allow for a secret password. Like "open sesame" to allow for bypassing this newbie section.

Dear Moderator,

Some excellent secure rules for new users I see. Better to have a lot of aggression in security than chaos. I wish to take part in some discussions here, can I get my permissions level elevated to do such?

[Tracer T]

Very sensible. Does the Technical Support Forum get trolled a lot? If not it would be handy to have it open.

+1 couldnt agree more !

+1! also agree!

very fair rules though

I know this is true but I would like to gain access to the technical support forum.

Totally agree with the time limitations but not with having to make 5 meaningless posts.....

I think we're allowed to make meaningful posts if we want to.

But I can't prove it

I'm a troll... But I really don't see how these restrictions stop me in any way. lols

[FreeMonies]

I thought this idea was a good one, but it's obvious it doesn't stop trolls and idiots from shitting up the forums.

Want a real way to solve the issue? Make people pay to play, or find a way to verify that people are actually using or involved with bitcoins.

Thx

Right now it just takes time/effort to get around the restrictions. If anything the trolls have proven that they have nothing bit time on their hands, probably more so than actual people. A small BTC fee (maybe just a few bitcents) would keep out people who aren't using bitcoins, or at least make the trolls download the client and get some coins. Maybe a few will get interested for real when they do

The four hour time is dull -_-

Trolls can spend 4 hours on a forum and write 5 useless posts. Just sayn! NOW LET ME OUTTA HURR. 

[tany000]

nice

[vvinogradoff]

For me it seems pretty useless against trolls. However, I believe the deal was not about trolls but about one-minute visitors. Those who get in, register to one of trashbox-like emails, post some crap and leave to never get back.

You have to get your teeth cut somehow, don't you?

[RunningTotal]

Just consider this as a necessary evil )

[pier]

Had to ask why I couldn't post on the other parts of this forum. Very annoying.

[Maged]

are posts and replies able to be read by everyone?

Yes. If you are able to post somewhere, it will appear immediately to everyone once you post it.

[acolombo]

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.

This is my first post, just need 4 more and some hours online... nice thread about that 25,000 stolen.
