let's try to build up a good forum at http://BitForum.org

this forum here sucks .. i cant even respond to threads anywhere but here. What is the point?  I read a thread I'm interested in, and I can't respond.  And I have 4hrs+ and more than 5 posts. 

LAME!

The entire BTC community lives here. I did my newbie time as fast as possible (it didn't even bother me) - I really don't think it's a big deal and now I've been here for a while I can see why this is done.

Just make sure you stay logged in. My understanding is that you need 4 hours and 5 posts. The total time you've been logged in should be displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

Hope that helps.

The only threads on the forum.

And this is why we have these restrictions in place Grin

The newbie restrictions are indeed archaic, there are better ways to handle spammers and newbies, like reputation systems, Ripple style trust (if your friend spams, you get banned too!), pay-per-account, etc. Theymos already claims he's working on a replacement that will eliminate the need for the newbie jail. In the meantime, try http://reddit.com/r/Bitcoin as that's where actual conversation happens.

I would argue that a lot of /r/bitcoin is a giant circlejerk...  There is good stuff to though.

i agree im having same issue.  basically impossible to do anything here. i made an account on the bitforum you suggest but its dead over there now, maybe some ppl will join up

hummmm... ill you do is post 4 times and you are open to everything. it took me all of tenmunutes to get to jr member and you can go everywhere.

this guy wants to come on here and say we suck when all he wants is to get people to go to his empty nobody cares forum.

just post in your name you say hi, replie to thre or four newbie threads and your in.

this IS the place for anything and everything about bitcoins. if you are to impatient with this ...bitcoins are not right for you ......  go put you money under your bed or build up debt and watch the banks take it all away..ether way i dont care.

This is why I've made my forum invite only so people can at least register instantly without problems or captchas, the restrictions are annoying but anyone who's tried setting up even a basic phpbb3 forum will know exactly how horrible it is having to find a way to deal with bot spammers. For me at least with invite codes I don't have to deal with this sort of thing and it will be humans communicating with other humans rather than bot spammers trying to force their way in every five seconds.

I'd love to make the forum public, but even I don't have the time anymore to go through 30+ spam posts per day and get even more if I lower my guard and that's if I'm lucky, these people are inconsiderate and obnoxious cuntbags, deal with them first for us before complaining about forum restrictions.

So you came here to promote a forum with 12 post total? And you're saying this forum with 1818510 posts sucks?
There's a reason why newbies don't have full access right from the start and it's not really hard to get promoted.

There should be a newbie timeout phase, so that lurkers can reply to topics after over 720 hours of active lurking.
I hate having to go to the newbie section and spam.

Good luck on your forum. It is certainly not a good way to promote them but some people may actually like it...

if you take the time needed to read the posts, then you will not be asking noob questions as much as you would have if you could post your questions right away

Right on.
Don't want to sound too harsh but I guess we got to let them learn the fact sometimes.
