Newbie restrictions

[Donkey]

New here too, and I must say it's nice to see what looks like a decent enough tactic to prevent easy spamming.

[thewhitedragon]

It reduces spam but scammers pass through? Well, you can't win them all...

[grindedteeth97]

glad this article is here

I appreciate the change in the restrictions.  It would have taken me a long time to reach 50 posts.  I am very selective about my online communications.

[benmoodee]

WOW, 50 posts! That would be difficult for noobs; as being such limits the ability to join in the discussion.

[aslike]

Yeah this makes a lot of sense as to why I couldn't send messages  ...however could make the rules abit easy

[genialherpes]

I'm getting there.

[zxyzxy]

how many posts does one need to be able to post in off-topic? lol.. there are some interesting topics for me

[ECore]

Thanks...I finally found this info....

[btcash]

Restrictions should be more strict! There are to many scammers and kids fooling around.

[zxyzxy]

yes, they should totally make a 1k posts limit

Thank OP you have effectively answered all my questions in one quick blow!

Geez u guys...  some of us just want to sumbit a bug, but are deterred by all this restrictive crap...

Forcing people to post or wait too long/much ends up making them forget about this forum altogether...

My only reason to be here is actually to submit a bug, and help other users out with their configurations, setups.. 
I have a successful setup, and am very familiar with command shell programming (something many miner/gui programs here take advantage of)  many people ask how to parse cmd prompt program output etc...  )

I am less likely to help if I have to jump through making a bunch of meaningless posts just so I can get access to post in the subforum that I was trying to help in the first place.   I am not getting paid here.

I have posted on many forums and this one takes the cake on restrictions.



lets seee that should make 3 posts....   oh, this isn't a spamm/garbage post..  it has meaning.

[CoolHandLuk3]

We just gotta deal with it homie.

trying to fight the spam and troll, you are forcing pepole to post, and their posts are made of troll & spam

[workingforbitcoin]

Hehe, that describes it rather well. It shows how stupid these attempts at spam fighting are.

if i understand the system correctly, you can be verified sooner, you just have to ask for it in the appropriate thread
