Newbie restrictions

[dotcom]

annoying for new users like myself, but honestly I understand.

and i'm sure it makes for a healthier community in the long-run

ridiculous restrictions are forcing newbies to post spam messages like this one. An alternative is needed..

Post some if you got em.  And spam messages like this one aren't a problem, it's the spammers (not just bots either) and trolls.

I've never seen a forum that has a restriction on new posters. Just serves to turn people off I'd think.

BitcoinTalk must think they're really that special

Hello.

Possibly

But honestly having to lurk for hours and interact with the community I would think serves to steer away kids who are looking for a quick scam.

Is a post of hate enough to be able to pm other members?

Verified.

Passed the mark....

Awesome... Thanks! I was kinda pissed about having to find 50 meaningful things to post about in the newb forums. This policy is totally respectable.

But is still needed to find meaningful things to post about.

Profound first message: I like bitcoins.

It also serves to steer people away who have a life.

Agree...

(Yay, that is my 5th pointless post!... *Shudders* i hate being forced to post crap like this just to get access to the regular forums)

So we basically have to post in this forum before we are allowed to do so elsewhere?

I can understand to a degree,  but now I have to post a few meaningless messages before I can request assistance in the other ones.

Cheers anyways

Whew ...I thought I was having problems my laptop again. Good way to weed out the trolls

Yea, exactly. For new users trying to ask questions and understand things it only serves to come off like the 'community' doesn't want to listen.
