Newbie restrictions

[binoc]

I agree with such policies, it's just part of the process these days.

So due to spam, new members must spam
But I think the restrictions really are reasonable.

Ten is still a lot before you can post.  Especially when you join for a specific thread or topic.

Absolutely understandable..

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 (new topics or replies).

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- Newbies cannot upload their own avatars.
- 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. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)

OK， fair good.

I have question, how can I get out of newbie status? I am not troll I am scamdetector.

There are two types of discussion posters, those who read before they write and those who write before they read. Note: One of these two strategies is superior.

Very sensible. Does the Technical Support Forum get trolled a lot? If not it would be handy to have it open.

I am not able to reply in other discussions.

I think this is my third post . Seals with clubs is down right now ,I need to get past newbie status to ask Micon what happened to my 50 chips I had for the half hour tournament.

I appreciate the effort to get rid of trolls and bots, but wouldn't a captcha do the trick?

Captcha would only get rid of bots, not trollers/spammers.

Sure, they've earned that right. They put in the time.

i've been searching for hours in the newbie forum for something worthwhile to comment on. so far nothing. but i understand why they have the restrictions. only 3 more posts to go

I have to agree with this posting, there are SO many BOT's these days that prey upon all the different forums, and even with good questions and pictures with letters / numbers etc.. .they seem to always get through and annoy the real people using the forums.

The restrictions make sense.Great way to stop the ROBOTS from invading and spamming the forums.Or at least delay it.
