Newbie restrictions

[crazybernie]

damn spammers ruining everything

I wouldn't say "they've" ruined everything.  It's also a good way to cut down on non-spammers (and trolls) who just came in to make some random comment an not actually contribute to a discussion... never to be heard from again.

No kidding... I was clicking through a forum that I read from page 1-33, went to reply and realized no button... Thinking It was a browser Issue, I clicked through a few others... No dice until i hit the front page again.

At least now I don't think the probability is as high that I am crazy.

Hello everyone.

pretty much did the same thing...
at least i'm not the only one...

+1, LOL

I was about to give a nice long rant to a few things posted on one thread, then realised no "quote" link ... no "reply" link..... logoff, log back on.... still no joy... then I caught the text that said newbies can only post to newbie area... lol, damn, and lol again

spam + fritters

I shoot trolls,
goblins, orcs, and especialy night elves... can't stand night elves !!!!!

Hey! I'm whitesn0w and I love Bitcoin and of course this forum, hopefully. Yay, PM's work now....

I find it a little annoying that I have been a member, have been active (mostly reading and only replying where it was relevant) and I am now locked down.  I can understand the spam problem though. 

At least I won't have far to go eh?  Just gotta wait for the timer to run up while reading up on mining issues.

Does this mean spammers get approved after 5 spam posts?

that seems to be the system sir.

[synapticjuice]

Good. thanks for the post explaining this.

I suppose it takes a while, but I'm still not quite sure on that, TeoDawg.

Anybody else having problems with the "Total time logged in" clock?

I leave myself logged in all the time, I have it logged in on my laptop at work even. I browse through forums, post every now and again here in the Newbie section.

Though I should have multiplied hours on my clock since my last post in this thread, I only have 10 minutes more
8-10 hours would be more accurate.


Maybe one of the admins/moderators could look into this.

Pretty smart.. i guess.....

Hi all I'm from Italy. I'm following the bitcoin stuff since some time now. I am a verified user in #bitcoin-otc, I have a mtgox account and so on... but I guess it's faster to make 5 posts and stay logged for 4 hours than make a request here so...

[swop]

Quite annoying. But I'm sure it'll create a better forum in the end.

[GamblingPurveyor]

It seems like the logged-in-time requirement is actually 4 hours and 5 minutes. I was still a "Newbie" at 4 hours.

[derjanb]

Maybe Newbies should spend 0.01 Bitcoins to "verify" them....

Thanx for the information.

This restriction is so annoying. I wanted to post in 4 different threads already but couldn't. Why don't you use captchas? Recaptcha keeps my blog spam free since years for instance...

You could post the same things in here.

[anty]

Wouldn't make much sense since I only want to contribute to a discussion, not create a new thread.

[maximus]

the newbie policy is very annoying if you have only the best in mind to calm down some folks that fear been hacked at mtgox, but your not allowed because you only read the forum without registering until now. I think this is my last post on this forum, i will not post 5 stupid thinks just to post some real information.

[Trayber]

dont mind the policy it seems fair to me. look forward to branching out to other sub forums.
