I think you need more than 10 posts for that...

I dont mean to complain but this restriction just causes alot of bs posts in that section, but thats just what i think.

[George Carmack]

yes, sure it makes sense...

I saw some complains that people want to participate in non-newbie threads so the restrictions are perceived as annoying. My question in that case: is that other thread really so fast moving that you cannot spent some 4 hours here in the newbie forum and then move on?

ANd yes, I mainly posted that question to get one more post...

Exactly what I mean lol...

This was a good idea to go with. It shows who are legit users and who are the trolls.

About these restrictions I would like to quote Caligula:

"I wish all of you moderators to have one single neck.."

Wait, what?
I read it was 50 posts some place, and then there was a couple of threads about 100 posts.
So is it 5 posts, 4 hours / 50 posts or 100 posts

5 Posts and 4 hours to get access to other threads.  More posts for access to other options.  It's in the first post of the thread.

There just seemed to be som confusion around.
I'll find out in 24 minutes for sure 

[gurcani]

these restrictions are great.

Soon the newbie section will be the largest section of the board.

Posting as my first to get to the limit.  Good reading on here 

[Olaf.Mandel]

How long is the reaction time between the 4h expiring and access being granted? I am approaching 5 minutes...

Edit: forget it, it works now.

The system is automatic? because any spammer that know that would be quick to bypass it... I think it would be better to limit post to 4 (or few)per day with captcha for each post for newcomers instead... that would give immediat access to every sub forum instead to stuck in that place? but maybe i missed something...

[Nam3o]

this makes total sense and i appreciate the fact that the forum is trying to control spammers.

 

[Humpfry]
