Newbie restrictions

[tccd]

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.

I have a strange feeling that my messages are not delivered. I sent PM to an established user, regarding his sale in marketplace section but still no answer

It's a bit inconvenient that you can't announce a trade when you're a newbie though, are there any alternatives, like a newbie trade topic...

Good. I was freaking out. Annoyed that I couldn't post, thought the site was broken.

You can post those here, then move it later, or make another in marketplace when you get out.

temporary restriction

[bitsmith]

Well, yes, but I made this account because someone requested me to post the transfer here, then I learn that this is only possible after being online for a few hours and by creating a few posts. I get why this system has been installed, but I'm merely saying that it is inconvenient for honest guys like me whereas somebody with wrongful intentions can fulfill the same requirements by letting his browser refresh every 10 minutes and making a few bogus posts...

This is the way to go. With all the trolling, and more importantly the government entities threatened by the bitcoin, it is better to be safe than sorry

You need 5 posts and 4 hours online to be able to post outside of the Newbies section.

Thank you for making the restrictions

Makes sense, now I just need to get posting!

The standards should be higher.

[burnside]

Annoying, heh.  The mining pool I'm in uses a thread here for "support".  But I can't post for support until I post here a bunch and wander around for 4 hrs.  Time to find a new mining pool me thinks.

Sent you a PM, click "My Messages" up top. Thanks!

You do pass, that's weird if you can't. You should be able to now though, I pushed it through manually.

The standards should be higher.

Why? The capacity for meaningful discussion in the newbie section is limited. How would you raise the standards in a practical way?

Came here to sell my 7970s but maybe i should keep them!?

Going to go read the FAQs

You can just start a new thread in the Newbies section.  Everyone will see it there.

Sometimes it takes up to an hour after you met the requirements for your newbie status to change.
