The rules are sensible: it forces newbies to learn about bitcoin properly.  Not necessarily, it might just force them to make low content posts in this forum before they can use the forums they want to use. |

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted.
Are you saying that it'll take 10 minutes after you've reached the 4 hrs? |

Haha this make sense, although it does kind of stink since I would like to PM a member here, but I suppose as a new member, rather not get trolled randomly.
There's someone on this forum called Matthew N. Wright, and he seems to have got past the trolling firewall  |

I think the restriction is sensible but can cause problems if user is new to forums and would like to use BuyBitcoins.com.

Maybe this should be added into some kind of rules section, I could not find it quickly, and when I tried to send a PM, it only said "You are not allowed to send Private Messages", maybe there should be a link pointing to this topic when it displays that text e.g. "Please click here to read the forum rules.", etc 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. Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. |

I feel there would be more content on the forums if you guys allowed instant posting after sign up.

I suppose the restriction is necessary. But it does incentivize content-light or content-free posting while a 'newbie'.

There would be more words, not necessarily more content. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."
- Carroll Quigley, CFR member, mentor to Bill Clinton, from 'Tragedy And Hope'

Personally I don't mind making posts, I'm usually making about 50 posts a day between all the forums I am currently registered on. I do see how this can stop spam and whatnot.
