Newbie restrictions

[irosaurus]

have the rules changed? because i have my 5 posts and spent more than 4hours on the forum, but I'm still not able to post in the other sections? It's a bit annoying with the newbie-rules
cheers iro

I think a moderation system would generally be better than making everyone do five pointless posts.

If everyone had a bury button, spammy and trolly posts would simply go out of sight.

Ive run several forums in the past, and i find self moderation does a great amount of good, but you do need at least 1 or 2 real moderators.

Good system, though it lowers my chance for a topic in the marketplace.

Unfortunately, it's not actual time spent, it's logged time.

Look at the top-right of the forum. You should see the date and time, and either a [ + ] next to it, on the right, or a [ - ].  Make sure it's a minus, and then you can see your total logged time on the left, along with your avatar (if any).

Okay, well.... I was going to try to be somewhat discreet and use PMs, but since this system only lets me post in newbie areas...

  Check this out, and let me know if you think you can design a pcb for these, so that maybe we could bring the cost of an fpga miner down to a competitive price:

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.

Ok, thanks . Glad to be on here to learn abut the world of bitcoin.

No worries mate, Welcome to bitcoin

I don't think that the required 5 posts is a good idea.  It just forces to post useless stuff.

The time restriction is fine.  People should read the forum before posting.

ugggg.  duh.  right at the top of the screen.  thank god i've been lurking forever.  had the time covered.  just needed posts.

[silverchair]

I have set the alarm on my clock exactly on the 4th hour.

I won't be bothering with five posts, I'll just use another forum.

I only joined to answer a question that is directly relevant to me, and this retarded "newbie" system means I'd have to spend potentially hours waiting to do so.

Get your act together and fix this BS; it's unbecoming of a forum associated with such an important technology.

Incidentally, yes. There are Irish users of Bitcoin. You'll find them in your local hacker/makerspaces. But the OP won't know that now, will he? Nice forum.

[Jezzz]

Ah.  Makes sense.

[mvoss]

Ya know, all these people bitching about the 5 post/4 hour limitation cap need to chill. It would probably benefit you all to take a few hours and soak in the information here, listen/read and keep your mouth shut.  Just cuz you're not a newbie to BitCoining, you're still a newbie here.  Take some time to examine the forum and see how it operates. My guess is the owners don't want you here period if you aren't willing to do that.

I think I missed something... where did the OP insult Irish users of bitcoin?

Hello from a fellow Irish resident, though can't say I'm actually.. Irish.. save by descent.

I agree.  Im more of a lurker and can't really find anything meaningful to post on the Newbie forums.  I've had a 940Mhash/s rig up and running for several weeks now and would love to share my results with the mining forum but can't.  Instead im stuck here looking something to post with little substance i.e. great post, nice app, etc.
