Maybe there could be a way to watch a thread for x amount of time instead of having to post 5 times. There is one thread of particular importance to me. I have been watching/reading it for a couple of weeks now and would like to comment, but have to go through this process. Its not bad, but it is not ideal.

Everyone that isn't a newbie will obviously be fine with the way things are. They'll probably never have to go through it again. While the rest of us that are stuck waiting it out really wish there was a better system. I'd rather have more moderators and staff than a forum where new members are practically discouraged from joining the community. There should be a greater build-up from fresh new member status rather than a huge barrier to entry to the rest of the forum.

the newbie jail does nothing to stop people scamming spamming trolling the forum all it does is make it a pain to post were you need to when new
also limiting actions to every x seconds if crazy what the forum needs is more admin and a more active approach to clean up the forum
I would also change the sign up forum as there is a scrypt that makes accounts and posts 5 times
change the captures to logic questions
this is the whole reason I made my own forum !!!

If you'd registered an account, your time will count towards your minimum time requirement and you'd only need 1 post to get through. |
If this post was useful, interesting or entertaining, then you've misunderstood.

this is my 5th post Well done for being the reason why the 5 post rule was invented. Good job you've read the rules. You only need one post :/ |

I've been reading the forums lately, and thanks for all the helpful posts! I registered to post on a group buy -- of course I did this after placing a bitcoin order. So now I have bitcoins and can't reply to the thread or contact the seller, oops  But, at least quick searches explain why that is, just need to be active before the buy closes I guess! |

Instead of the 6 min limit, just use captchas

I think this is my 3rd post. That hotdog, fries and pop combo looks really good, making me hungry. Great avatar. |

I don't think there is much to complain about. We just have to do it once.
|
The signature campaign posters adding useless redundant fluff to their posts to reach their minimum word count are lowering my IQ.

I've been lurking the forum for months and never felt the need to register.
I don't think the 5 post limit accomplishes much seeing as how there are accounts for sale on the forum, but it is still a deterrent and I'm not sure there is a better way.

Is there a reason why PM's are disabled for Newbies? I'd like to contact someone, but since I'm confined to the Newbies section and can't send PM's there seems like no feasible way.

Interesting way to stop the bots but certainly frustrating when you have basic understanding and just want to crack on!
Fair enough.
Solution I'm unsure of. Seems to stop the spam so probably worth keeping in the long run!
