Newbie restrictions

[mylittlepony665]

4 hours is perfect since if someone's attention span lasts that long then they are worth keeping around.

Yeah 4 hours seems pretty strict for a newcomer.. maybe 1 hour would be better?

Hi folks,

I'm Alan and new to this forum (and also new to the Bitcoin mining business).

I have to say that I don't like the "newbie restrictions" since I have an urgent request in a specific thread. A solution would've been a verification email with a code in it or something like that, or a captcha code for these so called "newbies".

Anyway, I guess I have to wait four hours.

Cheers,
Alan

Thank you for the fast explanation. I read way more than four hours already on this forum, but I use to show all posts rather than showing pages. That was my fault I guess.

Very good rules!

I  am a member on many forums and I find it strange they have this "newbie" attitude here ..

How dreary

Any mod care to take a chance and whitelist? Really looking forward to leaving all these n00bs and contributing on some real threads

interesting way to keep out the riff raff.

this is useful but i am eager to see the silk road post

I think the restrictions are a good way to filter some spam from the forum. It now requires some effort to troll at least.

concur

Need to discuss about miners (especially Diablo's) and it is much easer in forum than in Issues list on Github
Hope nobody will misinterpret this post...

If I just want to purchase some BTC from seller on forum I have to wait 4 hours and post 5 senseless msg in this section.... Booo. ))

fantastic

I have to somewhat agree and can't believe how exceptionally difficult it is to post.Many of the the issues with the programs usually say to come here if you have an issue with said programs but it is very difficult to do if you can't reply.

I see, this explains a few things about not being able to post 

[peterepeat]

Im not sure if I should be pleased, but need to reach the post limit to move on.

[Kevin K]

Ahhh, the life of a newbie. Nothing wrong with having to put in a bit of effort to raise restrictions. It is pretty common on forums now days.

[Necroscope]

Hooray for the last required post!
