Newbie restrictions

[Dominic Sayers]

How dreary

Nice thread, now I know that I'm not the only newbie that find this status annoying.  I just wanted to post something informational but I guess that has to wait for some time.
I would find it much better if you would have to solve some sort of logical puzzle or do a bitcoin quiz in order to post, at least as long the newbie status isn't gone.

Is it only 5?  I thought it was 50...hhhmmm, this might be it then

[arcaine2]

5 posts, 4 hours... kinda a lot if you want to just ask one question ;-)

Interesting. I don't spend a lot of time in forums so I have have never actually run across restrictions like this before. I guess it makes sense...

I fully understand the restrictions concept to avoid spam issue, however posting 5 messages would lead to a long topic of useless stuff (... like the present one).
I did spend alot of time on this forum for documentation prior to mining installation. Now I got a huge problem, I cannot openly ask the community advice to solve it. Should I register sooner ? I certainly would with a clear restriction policy (like in top of forum, sticky annoucement, not only Newbie section).
Yet I find the log time pretty accurate to see if someone stay long enough on a forum to avoid hit'n'run poster.

I agree to and understand the rules.

Gah!  I should have registered when I first started reading the forums.  I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay past that 4 hours online.

I have just joined and understand the restrictions in place for newbies. I am looking forward to being able to participate in the other sections of the forum.

I dont like this method, but i accept it 

[Radeon]

Dont post alot, but its cool.

Just hit this restriction today when I attempted to post on mining hardware forum some information about FPGAs, which is kind of silly to post in the newbie section.

5 post restriction is very fair, I believe 24 hour restriction on posting elsewhere would be fine too (of course being a member for a month I may be biased ).

[Rob12345]

It's fair enough, if a little frustrating for those of us who are not troublemakers!

[neotrino]

Amazing! I have just notified this while I tried to comment a post on another thread

[academic_researcher]

Yes, I understand the importance of these restrictions. But like others, I spent lots of time reading threads before actually joining. I didn't join until I needed to post.

[mc_lovin]

Rules is rules.

[TQC]

The restrictions for new users seem reasonable for what you can get out of this..

[mono]

This can`t be a solution. I read most of the time. Now i want to post and not allowed. hmm.

Enjoying the newbie status while it lasts....

[Tango88]

I agree with it but this newbie section would be a lot of useless posting.
