Newbie restrictions

[cryptotrade]

I have been watching the time I have been logged in.  It's said 34 minutes for almost an hour, yet here I am.

When you say "logged in" do you actually mean creating posts?

Reading doesn't count? Do I have to be either typing or moving the mouse all the time?

On other sites, time logged in means just that - time logged in.

Please clarify.

Thanks in advance.

Long time lurker here...

Trying to get by newbie restrictions so I can post that I did receive a bASIC refund today.

I'm a bit curious as to this as well.  Fortunately, I'm not in a rush to do anything at the moment.

When can we have an Avatar?

Okay, tnx for the info.

The restrictions are quite irritating when I'm an experienced bitcoiner, have a cool story to tell, and cannot because I didn't make the 5 posts to this forum

It's not very hard to make five posts.

 :oI must admit...I'm a "bit" overwhelmed by the sized of the bitcoin forum! I only got wind of bitcoin a few weeks ago...and with the Cyprus meltdown...yeah I'd say bitcoin is becoming a household name.

I have been using the forum for about a year without posting a thing. i just wanted to start getting some posts up to enable the activity in my account. I want to thank everyone who has been a member of the community and also like to welcome all newcomers to bitcoin. After a year of up and down i now see bitcoin emerging as serious alternative to fiat currencies.

On onether note, just found out about BTCJAM.com I strongly encourage everyone to check it out but be careful. It is a peer to peer micro-loan facilitator. it embodies the spirit of bitcoin' therefore it is still vulnerable to scam artists.

thanks,

Yup have been lurking, but wanted to post - then found I couldn't.  So, I will start to participate here.

I must say I don't like this newbie restriction, but that's life.

Idea: some sort of icon for forums with restrictions so you can see at a glance where you can or cannot post. But maybe this already exists and I just didn't notice it.

[BIT4BRAIN]

When was this site started?

Are PM restrictions really opened once you have one post? oh maybe i should log out and then in again :S. I don't see any PM buttons pop up anew...

I must say I don't like this newbie restriction, but that's life.

Like on stackoverflow, quality before quantity I'd say.

[petersodm]

Probably worth not having trolls...

rules sounds sensible enough to me.
i hope to learn a lot about all of this stuff.

As good as it is for established members, I imagine it would make more people post random stuff in the newbies section just to get the required amount of posts.

Seems silly to require posts as they are most likely pointless, but thanks for letting us know (1 down)
