I think there should be minimum of 100 messages for newbies

.. to be able to post on the forum. Really. I have been browsing this "newbies" section for 2 hours now and can't stop laughing and wondering. Complete morons.

[ibisy70]

A lot of it is because there is nothing to talk about in this section....we are doing anything we can to get out.

[akiyama]

There is always clever things to discuss. But this here is full of noise. I hope it doesn't become like that in all the forum, although I think it's inevitable.

I don't know how to move up in ranking, and rather than sounding like an idiot, I keep my mouth shut.

So I guess I'll never move up in ranking.

Thats why it's a newbie section, theres so much irony ITT

[johnjohnx2]

Of course there's going to be alot of noise in this section. Everyone needs to meet their 5 post limit so they can get out. I've been a long time lurker and would have signed up long ago if I knew I had to post 5 times here.

[newunit16]

5? hm. thought it was 50.

[bbit]

that diamond guy has been labled a scammer     look at that profile ..good lord...

RAISE THE DIFFICULTY! Or the twits will keep trying to make bitcoin into fiat.

just read the sticky. that is a much better requirement than the previous "50 post". there are members that have been on this forum for months that have less than 50 posts.

I like the fact that I'm an American male with a fat belly and bald head.

[iopq]

no, we should just have a post randomly selected every 10 minutes for each post to be promoted out of the newbie section

I'll start a new blockchain, we'll call it bitcoincoins

[BitCoinsForGold]

omg that was HILARIOUS the diamond guy and his avatar, had scam all over it, then already a scammer in the name i literally "lol"d

Anyways, yeah lets raise the limit to 40 hours and 1000 posts and make this forum more full of trolls than zul aman on patch day

[TheBlinding]

and you expect to have any serious forum users if you need anything more than 20 posts to get out?

I respectfully disagree.

[drapetomaniac]

Please, I have been checking up on this subforum for a few hours now just looking for anything vaguely interesting to respond to... as you can see only (now 5) posts have been achieved.

I hope there is an easier way to get our restrictions lifted, I really would like to go discuss economics, trading, ect ect.
MODS HEAR MY CRY!! 

[nuclearstar]

to get the restriction lifted just browse all the other forums and do your research. I have learned alot by just browsing. and you can easily get your posts up to 5 just by adding your 2c to some of the posts in here.

[blzbr]

Its a difficult restriction to make. Some people are content posting moronically every 5 seconds, whereas some are only comfortable responding to actual intelligent discussion every now and then. Which of the two would you rather have access to the rest of the forum?

[blzbr]

A lot of people who may want to use bitcoins will turn away from it if they are unable to freely use the forums

This.

For an open currency, this is a very closed community.
