Newbie restrictions SUCK

[HATA28]

Hello,

This newbie restriction thing, sucks like hell.
I've been reading on this forum for like 3 months+ so why the hell can't I post anything.
Yea I need 10 posts, I know, and I got them, but after waiting for more than 15min's I still can't post anywhere else than here......

WTFFFFF
I WANNA POST

All newbies, feel free to reply to get your post count @ 10.

Have a nice day

You need to spend 4 hours online too.

[whitetoo]

You need to have a minimum of 5 hours on the forum as well I believe.
Personally I think the restrictions in place are fair and avoids spam in other forums which contain helpful and important topics.
Frustrating as it is, it's not too much hassle to overcome the restrictions with so much content posted every hour, just keep reading whilst logged on.

I think as well that these restrictions suck. bitcointalk.org is the only site I know to have restrictions of this kind.

Just got my 4 hours

Ahh come on....
You've got to be kidding me.

I have so many contributions to make, but I still have to wait
I wanna join all the interesting discussions

well, feel free to go start your own bitcoin forum, with your own rules, and blackjack, and beer, and hookers...

[UseTheForce]

you have completed the required 5 posts and 4 hours logged in

You must provide evidence that shows that you either understand more about Bitcoin than the average newbie

The requirements look rather random to me. Also: does 5 random posts like this and 4 hours of hitting the reload button make me understand more about Bitcoin? I think not.

it is a bit overkill, they could halve it really, im just gonna leave my browser on and refresh it, I can understand wanting to stop spam and stuff.

Lawl. Why would I need a forum with hookers and beer, whats the point
And other than this restriction thing, bitcointalk.org is great


@RaTTuS

yea the restrictions aren't the greatest but they are what they are and complaining about them isn't going to make them go away

[tysat]

You guys weren't here for the pre-restriction spamming days, it was not a fun time.

[Hadez]

The newbie laws do suck, but having been admin on some forums of similar size they are a much needed junk filter....

[HATA28]

Okay, I agree.
The newbie restrictions are not very nice, but its better than no restrictions for sure.

I should have made an account a few weeks ago, and used it for reading but I didn't so its my own fault that I have to wait.

Can anyone tell me how long it usually takes before a whitelist thing gets accepted? (if its good enough)

[crackisback]

1 hour here yea, it suck
