Yes I am aware of that, however I was directed here by Slush'es pool, since his pool website is down and therefore this, and his thread about it, is the only way the pool members can communicate with each other.
I understand newbie restrictions, but I was DIRECTED here due to a pool outage, which the restrictions are now defeating the point of that direction, since I can't talk to any of the pool members unless I spam useless posts
i.e. I understand restrictions when they make sense in normal situations, but not when I get told to go here to talk with affected pool members, and now I can't.
