thanks... sux spamers gotta ruin it for the newbies.
Couldn't agree more. I've been lurking here for almost a month now, reading everything and learning. I decide I'm now informed enough to intelligently contribute to the conversation, so I sign up and go right to posting. Oops, nope. LOL. Oh well, sooner or later I guess. |

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. If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic. Also: - You must have made one post in order to send PMs. - You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature. - You need 50 posts to put an image in your signature. I can post several days ago, and I just failed to reply a post, so finally I found this rule. Thanks! |

4 hours is indeed a long time. It doesn't even seem accurate, is the forum aware of every moment that I have the tab open or something?
No it's not. I have been in here for months and it still shows me at under two hours. Yep, I've been browsing the various sections for quite a while now (pretty much the whole weekend) and I still only show 2 hours and 54 minutes. Brilliant, nearly two hours later and my browsing time has gone from 2 hours and 54 minutes - to - 2 hours and 57 minutes !! What are these, bitminutes ? Win This used to be accurate months, and months ago, but It's taking me 15+ minutes of browsing to advance by a minute. |

I'm posting a message in this topic, while i actually haven't got anything interesting to say. I do have some interesting things to say in other topics, but i can't post cause i'm a newby apparently, atlhough i already follow bitcoin for quite a time now. But hey, i need to get my post count up, because otherwise I will never be able to post in the non-newbie section  , and the biggest problem is that I have to do it while I havent got anything interesting to say in the newby section. Well, this count for 1 post, I hope I don't have to make too many of these kind of posts cause very soon I'm going to run out of ideas for posts in the newbie section  |

Yet another tongue tied Script Kiddie (infant) with nothing to say worth posting? |

I think this will cause an increase in spam on the forum, although the only real alternative would be to manually approve every single member by looking at their posts.

So that's why there was no 'reply' button on the page. Been lurking a while and just signed up.

One more - posting here for 'newbie post-count mouse wheel running'. Hello everyone. First post here, one of um... five that won't say much. Came here via a link to the "I'm Kevin, and I bought 250K btc" thread. Blah blah blah, can I post for real now huh? Are we there yet?
No. Guess not. Damned spammers. Oh NOW look what you've made me do.

Interesting policy. Very interesting. I would imagine some people have opinions about this.

So, do I have to make at least 5 messages in troll reservation to be allowed to post in the wild?
Look, really, I don't understand what to write in the newbie forums when I really want to comment in some post or ask a question. So the only option is to do 5 pointless posts, like this one.
Or I can do 5 troll posts in this troll reservation (newbie forum). But does that make me less of a troll? Don't think so, I could even get a habit trolling ppl.

I just found out that somehow, browser logged-in but minimized time doesn't seem to count. Efing.... Someone is going to suffer for this. |

I'm sure nobody really cares what newbies post in this section. Just in case someone does here goes.
I first discovered Bitcoins a few days ago, from a Facebook link.
I'm not a techie person, but I do have an interest in money creation, after all we are taught
at school to try hard, get good results, get a good job so you can earn decent money.
So it seems that the whole of western humanity is based around getting this stuff called money.
Having spent my life trying to accumulate enough of it, so I have the freedom to choose what I
do with my time, I started to question the whole concept of money.
No-one at school taught me anything about it's creation or distribution. It turns out all money is debt
and is backed by nothing more than faith and is constantly depreciating due to more of it being created.
It is controlled by a few, behind a wall of secrecy. In short it doesn't sound like a very good system for
the many.
Bitcoins however seems such an elegant solution that can facilitate the exchange of goods and services
between individuals. I like the idea of how it is created, through the combination of work/effort and cost.
I like the fact that there is a known quantity and an uncertain rate of discovery and the rarer they become
the harder it is to create them. It is also interesting to see the birth of ideas surrounding Bitcoins.
Purchasing them however is quite difficult and risky at the moment it seems. Mining them is not really an
option unless you are a bit of a geek. So the method of acquisition that seems to fit my needs is purchasing
a mining contract. Hopefully now I've posted I'll be able to contact the member that offers this service.
I'm also interested in business model generation and Bitcoins is the best business model I have seen so far,
assuming the creator has ket a few for himself ;-)
