Newbie restrictions SUCK

[deepceleron]

Bitcoin has a proof-of-work system, so does the forum! Besides reducing robo-spam, it also gives you some time to search and read before posting a question (or theory about why Bitcoin will never work) that has been previously answered multiple times.

Oh how I wish they would try to search....

I know, just want to message a pool operator. Would have signed up a long time ago had I known it would take this long to be able to start posting

i understand the purpose for restrictions. Im not going to bash the moderators for making them, but it sure does lead to alot of usless post...much like this one.

[Aahzman]

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

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
Thank you, I just posted over there.

it's a futurama reference. Any time Bender gets pissed off with the group, he threatens to go off and start his own thing, with beer...and..blackjack..and hookers....

Makes it very hard to quickly reply if you just followed a link for help

[vit1988]

yeah it sucks i need another five posts i guess?

[argash]

5th post here, goodbye newbie land!

5th post here, goodbye newbie land!

Welcome to newbie land, you still need 4 hours of login time

[Avalanche_JST]

I agree with the newbie restrictions and wished more forums would implement them!

[Wompaone]

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

Oh I could think of at least one other, albeit a little less known forum, to have similar restrictions. 

[snackman]

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.

Agreed

Providing a 0.1BTC donation should automatically lift your restrictions.  Expensive enough to stop spammers, but low enough to allow long-time holders in?

[oldskl]

these restrictions suck but i understand why they are here

[negreac]

Wurd.

[darcy122]

Is it five posts or four hours or both? 

[RodeoX]

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

Amen brother. It is in place because many newbies SUCK.

[tysat]

Is it five posts or four hours or both? 

Both

[robiii]

yeahhhhh

[sonnebtcpowe]
