You'll be a "Hero Member" by Saturday! Nope, gotta pace myself. Full Member was a full time job these last few days. Perhaps by the end of the month. If I don't burn out (that's the problem with us bipolars). But enough about me. GET POOSSSSSSTING! ...And so the problem with this BS rule shows itself...

Isn't the rule promoting posting silly messages like *cough*cough* this one?

Long story short, we all had to deal with them for a good reason. If it were up to me the post count would go up.

It is kind of a strange rule, but I guess it keeps the one-day fly spambots away....(not including this post )

It definitely weeds out a lot of the bs & makes the user read more which is a good so they might not ask dumb questions.

Rather shorten the time a bit to 1 hour. Should be enough to get familiar with newbie basics.

In the end, we are all here because we want to get involved with the community some how, and the community has a reputation for being a great source of bitcoin info. If newbs like me could just make junk posts etc from the moment they register, then spammers would be all over it creating multiple accounts and submitting junk.
This safeguards the community, and makes you appreciate why you wanted to join in the first place.

First post on this Forum and i totally agree with the rules. It takes quite some time to get used to the many different ways in which you can deal with Bitcoins. 4 hours reading will stop you making noob posts in the wrong place for a question that has probably already been asked and answered. Without doubt you will have LOTS of questions when starting out and if you cant be bothered to research first please add this 17e7D7VHcibmm2a3cEwNpVfjFjMwckXMu9 to the send field of your wallet. You do not deserve to be in bitcoins!!!

I can understand that I too have websites that get lots of spam..... but killing 4 hours is pretty painful....when all you want to do is post in the topic you came here for.... But rules is rules and we have to follow to be part of this great resource

Just leave the browser open and go for a coffee.
Useless posting to get the post count up, this one is painful...

You actually need to browsemultiple pages once every 5 mins or in order for the time to count.

i am a noob to the forum and was a bit annoyed at times that i couldnt contribute to certain threads but I eventually came to agree with the policy and actually believe the time requirement should be increased sometime in the near future, the post count requirement just generates spam in this forum.

I'm not sure if i agree or disagree with the 5 posts. I get why its there but I just think a spammer could do the 5 posts in 1 minute if they wanted. The four hour thing makes sense and sure you really should be reading for at least 4 hours if your a newbie .. although if your an experienced bitcoin trader it might be annoying but hey that's the rules.
Do people automatically get removed from admin after both limits are hit or does the admin check the validity of the 5 posts that are made .. If they enforced a "make the 5 posts good ones" then I totally understand them. One thing for sure is that both limits are set from trial and error so what ever the reason you just gotta respect them.

Its automatic, so the 5 posts can be anything as long as the posts are not deleted by moderators

It's really not that bad. If you actually want to participate here then you won't have any problems getting out of the newbie jail.
