Newbie restrictions

[KoKa]

Thanks, мery useful information.

The four post rule is annoying. I generally don't talk to people.

I have a question for ThomasV, one of the developers of the Electrum wallet, but I can't ask it until I make four posts in here.

Frustrating.

I think these new member restrictions are OK but also inconvenient

Very inconvenient and probably very needed as well ...

Any way there not to hard to to get around, in 4 hours of reading your should be able to add something useful or a +1 to some of newbie topics around. Gives the added extra that topics that are most interesting for newbies get auto bumped ...

any way 5/5, off to "Marketplace" in a few I hoop. 

4 hours of reading? I learned Calculus in less than that.

I agree I'm ready to post and contribute.  I've been lurking for months without being logged in.  Now I'd like to post something useful I have to wait.

I almost completely agree with this...

the 4 hours just seems a tad bit too long... no?

[tralala]

I find the 5 post restriction more annoying than the 4 hour one because it creates the necessity to post irrelevant stuff like this one. 4 hour of reading this forum however is a worthwhile undertaking.

[VoteGoat]

I completely agree, further my five are finally completed and now I can discuss topics that truly interest me.

Seems fair...Must pay our dues

[Stunna]

Quite fair, almost ready to leave the Newbie section

[BitCoinSeo]

Good idea, many forums get ruined by spam.

[Meatyy]

4 hour seems fair. there is alot of content to read here.

[Rugien]

SERIOUSLY these rules don't work, I've already spent days reading these forums while logged in and my profile still says "Total time logged in: 1 hours and 31 minutes."
Please stop daydreaming about being able to count time logged in via HTTP.

Yours truly frustrated user

so now I spend 10 hours reading all forums looking for answers to my questions before signing up, and now I have to spend another 4 hours after signing up before I can post the question that I have not been able to find the answer to on an on-topic forum.... I wish I had signed up on the forum as soon as I decided that I wanted to know more rather than spending my time trying to find the answer ;-)

Of course this is just my first post of 5 to get myself onto the relevant forum....

50 minutes logged in... time seems to be going slower than normal... Have the Bitcointalk admins achieved time dilation? 

[trepper]

long will be the road...

[BitClad]

I have spent many hours in these forums - but I seem stuck at: Total time logged in: 1 hours and 50 minutes.

How is this calculated? Is there any way to correct this?

[astutiumRob]

I need to keep making posts. Sigh. 

Finding 5 things to answer/talk about in the newbie section without being spammy - harder than finding your first block

[Mooshire]

Kind of annoying, but I can see why it's appropriate.

[BitPirate]

I've got an idea for something to do in my 4 hours restricted to the newbie jail...

Analyse the frequency of posts to this forum. It should be a good proxy measure for BitCoin momentum.
