Like why must we have at least 5 posts and 4 hours on this forum... This is extremely stupid. I just want to see if there is already anyone translating that to CHinese, but this stupid newbie restriction make me can't reply to any posts. Most forums only implies a restriction of time intercept between new threads, and the number of posts you can make each day. Why does this forum have this stupid restriction???  |

TalkImg was created especially for hosting images on bitcointalk.org: try it next time you want to post an image

I've been a member since 2011, although inactive. I find it weird I have to get the posts to be able to post normally  |

It also helps preventing scam, because it's a bit more difficult to enter the other areas.

Why would you want to post if you find it difficult to post 5 times?  |

absolutely agree, more activity does not imply quality.

So who judges the quality of a post? Are there standards to be met? Some of my posts as a newbie were found to be 'spam'...so what is spam? I thought spam was unwarranted or unwanted advertisement. I', simply trying to get enough posts to start exploring other areas. But I am spamming...

I can see how the 4 hours could be annoying if you don't spend much time on the computer. I'm guessing the spam must have been pretty bad though to come to this.

Why would you want to post if you find it difficult to post 5 times? Not difficult, just frustrating. A few times I've followed links here (to non-newbie sections), had something to say, but couldn't. So I move on elsewhere. Finally decided to make an account and get these stupid posts out of the way. One down. |

I think it's nice this way. No one needs to actually spam to reach 5 posts...

As a newb, I have no problem doing five posts to help prove I'm not a bot.
Now, if only I could convince my wife . . .

Luckily Bruno has created several topics like the "Let's count to 21 million" for newbies to get up their 5 posts in a more creative manner than just senseless spam (maybe some links in the introductory area might be helpful).

It's not the 5 posts that bothers me, it's the 4 hours. I've been on here for over a week and have only logged 2 hours 22 minutes. As a marketing professional, I believe 4 hours not only cuts out spammers, but also cuts out many legitimate prospects who get too frustrated with the limits and decide to move on.
An hour, hour and a half.. sure, but four hours? That's going to take me weeks to get!

You need to keep clicking in order for the "time spent online" to be incremented - so whilst it can take a while even if you spend only an hour a day on the forum then provided that you are actively clicking on numerous topics (rather than just leaving the webpage sitting) it shouldn't even take a week to have accumulated the required time (am pretty sure it only took myself a day).

I get what you're saying, but an hour a day just to be able to post to a forum? Not all of us have that kind of time to spend on a single website. |
