Newbie restrictions

[dickolsson]

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).

Does replies to this thread count? ;-)

I sure hope so, it's a bit of a pain, but i'll try and find 4 useful threads to reply to, so i can start posting elsewhere

EDIT: for the record 5 posts was easy. didn't need to spam either

Thanks for the info.

Four hours is cake.

How about an optional, nominal btc donation to skip the hazing

[otov4its]

This is a good thing, keeps the forum more clean 

[maxiii]

that seems like a perfectly reasonable solution.

Of course all first posts seems to be here, either to praise or condemn these restrictions.  I'll do neither and simply state how much I'm looking forward to meeting the minimum requirements.

Agreed

Well this seems as good a place as any to drop my first post. Hello all 

I met the minimum requirements but am still unable to post in the main forum

Sure it would be an interesting idea since users able to donate could be considered as not so beginners

QFT.  Not a big fan of the forum model for discussion anymore (too much time on Reddit?  Possibly), but if these are the rules BCT wants me to play by, I'll play by them so I can join the real discussions.

finally there! yay!

Yep.  Annoying, but it's not my house. I don't get to make the rules. But I can whine about them if it'll get my post count up ;>

There's merit in this idea.  7 Fingers is right that if you can make a btc donation, you are not a total beginner.  And if you are putting your quasi-money where your mouth is, you are not doing it to troll. Or if you are, you won't be able to do it forever.  Worth considering.
