Bye losers newbies!  Haven't you heard? It's now been increased to 15 posts! |
If this post was useful, interesting or entertaining, then you've misunderstood.

Wish I knew about this limit earlier!
I guess if you're new around here, it couldn't harm to do some more reading  |

Yeah because it SO difficult to write 5 posts  Waiting for four hours is the hard part of being in the newbie zone - I mean how hard is it to write 5 posts! |

This place is out of control.. I created an account and an hour later it gets deleted. All I made was one post in the newbie forum.
So here I am again. Lets hope this account doesn't get deleted too. I want to contribute but can't. I may be a n00b but I'm a long time lurker and miner.

Now I am confused. Is the real limit 4 posts, or 5 or 15?

I don't mind the 5 posts, although I never worried about it before cause I just like to read the forums and never needed to post until now. Should have thought ahead more.

I think there have been a few good solutions, I don't have a problem with the 5 post minimum. But I agree with the post about allowing access in waves. First 24 hours (or 5 posts) you are limited to the newbie section. Then after you have access to the general topics. And after that allow access to higher up levels after another span of time.

This newbie area seems like a good idea to weed out scammers and such.

An elaborate e-scavenger hunt as an alternative would be fine. Now, someone just has to map and build an e-scavenger hunt...
But users could log in with credentials from other trusted sites like Google, OpenID or Disqus. And if they have enough reputation on those forums they could be grandfathered in.

This is a good idea but many people prefer to remain anonymous and not leave a digital "paper trail" for any number of reasons. |

I guess you cannot change your avatar without the 5 posts?

This is a good idea but many people prefer to remain anonymous and not leave a digital "paper trail" for any number of reasons. There's no reason multiple ways of passing the newbie barrier shouldn't be possible, leaving it up to the individual to decide which suits them best. |
