[arhosein]

[akinnee]

Makes sense.

After reading a lot of posts on your newsgroup I decide to submit an applicatio, but I'm a little confused on how you get your right to raise a topic and/or reply to one PM.
Can somebody please explain it to me?

Thanks

Would be good to be able to post here as I really need to but some bitcoins in the UK

[HaunterBR]

No Problem! =)

[beeteecee]

Good rule. I'm getting there too

[mustkillidiots]

5 posts, and you're out of jail.

[trebornay27]

Sounds like a good idea to me

[trebornay27]

Pretty good idea to be fair

[Jackson17]

Makes sense.

It is unfortunate that people in general are not mature enough to handle themselves in an upfront and open manner.  It is this tendency and this tendency alone which fuels those who wish to rule over others...the "need" for most to be ruled.  It just adds difficulty for those of us who do not need to be ruled to function, having to circumnavigate the "rulers" while wading through the "ruled"...

Are you the original author of the above? Very well written. Speaks my mind.

The ellipses and quotes should be removed. They are superfluous, if not wrong. But that is only a minor point.

Thank you, I am new to forums and just trying to learn the ins and outs and do the proper things.  This information helped me to understand how to become established, and it is reasonable to have to post to good comments in the beginning.

I'm not sure if this kind of restrictions are OK. I wanted to reply to a single topic but I have to post 5 replies to irrelevant (for me) posts...

[bbfunk]

Agree ^^

Well, in in the long term it promotes an online community, rather than a place where people can just jump on and post their knee-jerk reactions (at one extreme). I also just signed up to reply to a post, so I have to wait four hours first.

Oof - BTCTalk used to require 50 posts to get out of the newbie section? I guess if you're gonna get a ton of spam it's best to keep it all in one place.
