Newbie restrictions SUCK

[bahehs]

I think this is great to cut down on spammers and scammers.

[aliaser]

It's like a sub-forum with newbies and a hell of new posts (mostly trolling) in the quest of a regular "membership".
Wouldn't discourage trolls and spammers, after all they are used to it

[Pruden]

Yeah, they really suck.

Bye!

[BobsBurgers]

I like how people are so impatient lol. The restrictions are obviously in place for a reason.

[Samson5]

Yes they do...

[ImI]

Yes they do...

Do they? 

[J180]

They do suck, It's really rude. Shouldn't be up to admins to judge what post is good or not.

[Nullvoid]

If you didn't know that you need help.

hookers and beer

I think it is a quote from FUTURAMA. Bender to be more specific.

But the admins don't judge that at all.  It's an automated system.  If you're implying a machine can make an informed judgment on the spot, then I have to ask, from which year in the future do you return?

I think its good there is some barrier to entry

It doesnt suck actually, avoiding multi accs and scams i guess

[arvee]

Preach on!


Oh wait.... now I have 5 posts!  yay!

[DGrandioseD]

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.

Ya, it's got its upsides and downsides I suppose

Being a newbie can create other problems... instead of posting in the proper forum, questions get posted in here.   

I've got some great questions I want to ask about hardware, but would probably not be suitable for the Newbies section.

These are valid posts from a REAL person, but I cannot use these questions to get to be a "qualified" user of this board by increasing my post count 'cause I want to pose these questions in the correct forum.   

Catch 22...

[yeurch]

I agree with the restrictions mostly, but I'm eager to wade into a particular topic in one of the real forums.  Oh well, just 3.5 hours ish to go! Tick tock.
