Newbie restrictions

[ARapalo]

I just found out I can't post in the forum yet except this section

What do I need to do to be considered "non-newbie"?

[truckingeek]

Just like the first post in this thread says, five posts and four hours.

[Fred26]

I see what you did thar!
Obviously, the last place I thought of looking is the newbie thread on topics like "I just made an account, why can't I post?" cos I'm awesome like that!
Anyway, I'm just another guy on this forum, trying to get more information on all this stuff.

I see things I like here, and I think I can help people with these things.

Thanks for having a forum for me to rummage around in =D

I have owned a vbulletin forum and can attest to the amount of spam and moderation it takes to clean it up.  So, these rules are probably good.  If I had used them, I probably wouldn't have pulled the plug on my forum.

Learn to read.

Need to get those 5 posts and 4 hours in then. Now that I"m sick of ebay there's a bunch of stuff I'd like to sell in the trading section:


Playstation 3, Games, controllers, 250gb hdd. etc

4 camera security system with other stuff.

Blackberry Smartphone,


and more I've got laying around.

to much restrictions in this forum my first impression

Well that makes alot of sense now I can't wait looking forward to opening up a shop for MMO games that accepts bitcoins as a form of payment for the currency in the MMORPG games. I'll be supporting various MMORPGS!

[ChiangYay]

yes, this 5 post rule is not so good. I understand the 4 hours rule, but why the 5 posts??

I don't mind these rules.

[Fred26]

I don't mind the 5 post rule, I'm already up to two!
Just have to be logged in for another 3 hours =(
I suppose these kinds of rules are different to each forum based on the problems they have.
I'm happy to wait, means less chance of poo poo faces being on here =)

[Kaos]

yea, the rules may be a bit annoying but they do (mostly) make sense.

[sexystick]

makes sense to me.

Thank you for the clarification, was wondering why I couldn't PM anyone or post a thread lol.

Do you realize that you could remove about 65% of your spam if you simply banned Matthew N. Wright and Phinnaeus Gage?

Edit: After reading more of both of their posts it seems like they are paid forum plugs to keep the activity hot. One is overly nice and one overly rude but both work together on occasion.

Matthew, who's standing right next to me said hi. We both have to leave now to go and cash our checks from BitcoinTalk. Thank you kindly, JennyHill, for your comments.

One more thing, Matthew said... (I better not repeat that!)

~Bruno~

Full Disclosure: I will be paid a quarter for this post. After a few more posts today, thus more quarter, I'll be able to afford a can of spam. Let's go, Matthew, before the bank closes.

Virtual cash for virtual items Sounds like a great idea to me! What MMORPG's are you planning on supporting?

[pyongyon]

took me 3 hours to figure out how to post ffs... all this mining is starting to dig a hole in my brain....

awesome forums and good rules imho, will stay here a while !

[ike989]

The rules are sensible: it forces newbies to learn about bitcoin properly.

[jokerdragon]

Hi I m a fk bitcoin noob trying to win restrictions yet. =D

[bcjunkie]

I definitely agree with the newbie restrictions. 

[eurocashbtc]

This may have been said before, but this will seriously spam the newbie forums. Esspecially the "Introduce yourself" and "Newbie rules" threads.

Having said that, i'm now up to two posts. :-/
