Ok... can't say I've ever seen a forum use this way of doing things before, but if it works, who am I to judge?

Even though I feel it can potentially bring a lot of spam to the newbies forum (:

PS.: Yeah, I realize that "a lot of spam in the newbies forum" is a lot better than "a lot of spam everywhere"

[chrisjwilliams83]

What do yall use to measure time around here?

[fisheye]

the restrictions are lame, but 5 posts is a hell of a lot better than 50. I don't even know what they were thinking with that.

Five posts is fine I am good on that. It's the 50 hours in real life that translates to five minutes of time on this forum that bugs me.

4 hours meh.... but god I hate spam too

It's not that bad. It's actually a good way to "force" people to read the forums and do some research before posting... of course, it kinds of annoys every non-noob that registers *after* already doing that.

I thought today's a good day to come out of the woodwork and remark on some posts. I found the wall sealed instead.

I'm sorry to see the forum hit hard by trolls; but as a Filipino proverb says, "If a tree bears plenty of fruits, people will throw stones at it."

[shata]

Yeah this makes a lot of sense as to why I couldn't send messages

yup yup

[DrElektron]

lol, i just spent 4 hours trying to figure out why i couldn't post... lol.. newby indeed..

[tsupp4]

Lame newbie restriction are lame.

[rnreekez]

What newbie restrictions do you speak of?

Interesting... When I joined, I was able to post to other places, then all of a sudden I could not figure out why I could no longer post.

Now, I have more than 5 posts and more than 5 hours logged in and still can't post to other places. What else do I need to do to be able to post in non-newbie section?

[Patheos]

Glad to see it is only limited to a few hours and 5 posts.  I read somewhere else that it was 50 posts and while I spend a lot of time on forums I am mainly just a lurker.  Here's to being free of newb status soon.

Damn, and here I am creating a "legit" account (as opposed to the other account I created months ago, but only ever argued politics and and discussed ways to use bitcoin more anonymously) and I can't use the thing properly...

*shrug*

Oh well, it's still better than some forums I've been on.

Oh, and, I've introduced myself @ http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=15672.msg221611#msg221611

This is kinda annoying... not all of us log in to read the forum. I've had way more than 4 hours yet hardly any of it was logged in.

/end 5th post to get myself out of here

I've been lurking for about 4 weeks and have made a grand total of 3 posts. Was wondering a few days ago why I couldn't find the 'reply' button.

[Boov]

I really need to get out of the newbie section so I can ask some questions on the Britcoin thread!

[XPiRX]

Lol, restrictions implemented only a couple days ago? Ha, Figures I always discover new stuff right after restrictions are inserted and I have to take time to prove my loyalty and non-destructive ways to be a participating member. I guess its good for the community, so be it.

[emale]

I need to reply to 5 posts in the Newbies section in order to post normally?

On what can I reply?
