Thumps up , to these guide lines these are very good and interesting.

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.)

A very sound policy.

Yeah this makes a lot of sense as to why I couldn't send messages

thats why i could not post

[sam2012do]

hmm sensible idea to stop spammes

Bit annoying really, I only wanted to sign up so I could add a comment to an already existing thread that I believe the other posters would of found very helpful, I hate forums that make you jump through hoops. If someone really wants to troll, the restrictions aren't enough to stop anyone for any serious period of time. And only serves to piss off people like myself who would rather just get stuck in and add something of value to a conversation.

[YipYip]

So i need to post 5 post to get access

Sounds fair

[nigewri]

Sounds fair, maybe the 4 hours is a bit of a stretch

[goldzhb]

Really annoying for me, but I understand that it's necessary these days

[Digikeys]

Yeah it's tough when you want to dive straight into a discussion you come across! Shoulda signed up earlier I guess..

It's a bit annoying, but I think the forum wants regular posters to be a sort of community not one offs, so in that sense it makes sense.

That is an operator choice. If they want to catch people who have too much time on their hands and deter people who have a life, then the restrictions here are just right.

As you can guess from the number of people in this forum who proclaim that the restrictions are good and sensible, they also seem to select for people with moderate IQ at best.
