What about providing a telephone number, which is called automatically and where you are presented an access code? Couldn't that be a hurdle for trolls and spammers?
or SMS... Well that'd work only for people in the US wouldn't it? |

phone verification is too easy to bypass
the current method seems to work fine, but think 4 hours is a bit steep. i for one joined the forum to add to a topic i was reading and to ask several questions in regards to where the best place to sell an avalon pre-order would be etc, but now i have to wait for what seems like an eternity before i can ask for the advice and guidance i need..

Totally fine with 5 posts. I would also add a restriction on 1 topic thread to be a useful one, not just a random shit

The post count is a pretty good idea but the fact that you have to wait 4 hours is a little excessive. Most people will spend a certain amount of time on the forum when researching specific things at one time. They will stay on for lets say 2 hours and then they move away and then come back for another couple minutes and move away again. It's really frustrating.

Now I am confused. Is the real limit 4 posts, or 5 or 15?
The limit is 5 posts. My 15 post limit comment was sarcasm. |
If this post was useful, interesting or entertaining, then you've misunderstood.

Isn't posting 5 pointless comments here a way to overcome the limit...?  Gosh - it's almost like you can read between the lines... |

It seems to me the people most desperate to overcome the posting restrictions are the ones with least patience and desire to read and understand.
Sure, there are people who already have good forum etiquette, but I assure you, you're in the minority.

Perhaps making newbies read up on some of the scam threads in their entirety would do it.
The Pirate thread ought to keep them entertained for at least 4 hours lol.

5 posts. This is just me contributing. I would think that some sort of quiz might help- for example if someone doesn't know what SHA256 is (time the questions to prevent googling?). Just a thought.

That's not really the point.
What's not really the point of what? I don't understand your comment. |

SHA-256 and SHA-512 are novel hash functions computed with 32- and 64-bit words, respectively. They use different shift amounts and additive constants, but their structures are otherwise virtually identical, differing only in the number of rounds. That being the case, please name and explain the 2012 update to the standard and how it improves security. Please use no more than 3000 words and provide your mathematical working on the graph paper provided.  |
