Hmm are we supposed to just spam here?
Pretty much. Talk like a human, though. The main goal is to catch spambots before they make it into the main forum, which makes their presence both more annoying and more difficult to clean out. |
"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

Why was the post restriction put in place even for really old accounts?  Simplicity. The number of really old accounts with less than 5 posts would be really small. |

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.) Okay thanks for the info! |

So, this is why I can't reply anywhere. Silly, but I guess necessary.

Smoothie or Milkshake they caused this... but Lassi is a good one.

Now it's time for the FTC to put everything Butterfly Labs has done through the magnifying glass and then burn the wings off those bastards.

Grumble... I tend to lurk so these restrictions caught me the one time I felt I had something valuable to say. Oh well, I'll just do a couple quick posts here.
