Is Newbie Status Really That Hard?

[kaiwahine]

It took me three days to find this board. Finally.

It would be great if this board was moved up to the "Bitcoin" section of the message board, so Newbies will SEE it. I was interested in all the talk going on towards the top of the message board, and had no idea I had to scroll down to discover the Newbie section.

I was wondering is it really that hard to get out of newbie status?

[kaiwahine]

It's easy if you know those are the rules. I couldn't find this forum or anything that said 4 hours of browsing/ 5 posts for three days cause I was reading all the cool discussions above this forum. I finally find this folder after scrolling.

WTF, 5 posts and a 4 hours of casual browsing?  It's easy.

Need to wait 4 hours, thats understandable ... but why 5 post limit :? just need to make some random useless post like this to get out of newbie section. Need to think it through...

Here's my random first post replying to your random first post. Cue Inception music...

I think the hilarious parroting of shared opinions in this thread to inflate post-count is absolutely impossible to criticize without becoming part of the very same problem… We’re all here to post, but posting feels so disingenuous in a thread like this as we don’t actually get anywhere. 

The worst part is, this post is hypocritical – I wouldn't even bother to comment on the absurdity of this thread if it didn't help me get out of newbie status!

Bumping for non newbie status

It's easy, there are so many threads that you will allways find a nice one to reply in

So in order to get ouf of newbie status we just write something where we have a reply button... seems rather silly...

How long do threads like this normally float at the top of the forum?

I missed out on buy 10,000 CNC from a guy, because I didnt realize I was stuck in newbie status.. then the coin jumped up to .003 /BTC and I could have made some loot.. lol better luck next time I guess..

Don't ask a newbie!

I don't get it, I've been clicking around on different threads while logged in, but it doesn't seem like my time logged in is advancing... Hence, another comment, to see if that helps.

I'm finding the commenting part of being a newbie is WAY easier than the time part...

[Biomech]

why even have a newbie status?

I haven't seen one Viagra advert since I've been here, that's why...

K.

LOL!

I can't top that answer.

I'm new here, but I've been a BBS'er and forum rat since, oh, about 1976. I have no problem with a "newbie" section. It's an easy twit filter for the admins, and on a popular forum you NEED an easy twit forum. It gets rid of the easy twits. Unfortunately, that doesn't weed out the hardcore twits, but it does cut down the administrative overhead.

And frankly, 5 posts and four hours ain't shit.

This is all about spam. I hate it all.
Currently the worst kind of spam are phone calls advertising.

Hmmm, lurking is giving me zero time! What, do I have to post every 5 minutes to keep my logged in clock moving? The closer I get to 4 hrs, the slower my clock moves... I feel like I'm being punked.

I hate that I have to browse around for 4 freaking hours. The minimum post isn't that bad. That's normal and easy to get.

I'm not sure if I have some setting wrong in one of my browsers or something, because just browsing around isn't doing it for me! I actually have to keep making comments... I wouldn't complain in a comment, except it's killing two birds with one stone.
