It's stupid that newbies must make 5 posts and browse for 4 hours. Here's why

[dpup5520]

While I can see how the post limiting to this subforum for new people can prevent spammers and force people new to Bitcoins to read through information more and figure things out a little bit before invading other parts of the forum it can be quite annoying in other aspects. For example the main reason I joined this forum was to share some information inside of the Armory subforum which I thought would be useful for them, but because of being forced to post inside of here the information/post was almost immediately buried due to the high rate of posts/moderation in here plus the information would almost certainly not be useful to people just starting out.

Same here: I've lurked for a lot, now I've seen an user who sell btc with a good price -just want to buy it- but i need to post and wait, it's a bit annoying, but I can understand

It's been very refreshing and illuminating reading through all of your personal opinions on the new member restrictions. /sarcasm

[Cronin]

Everybody knows that newbies posts their "opinion" just to break the newbie's prison

Come on . 5 post and browse for 4 hours not a hard thing to do

[HollowIP]

Its very reasonable and there for people's protection. Most people never get hacked or anything until they get involved with bitcoins. There's some straight up assholes here.

Agree with you 100%

I was stumped by this rule.  I registered a month ago and couldn't figure out why I couldn't post.

I realize it's at the bottom of the signup form.  Guess I should have read the whole page, eh?

However, it would be a nice touch to move the Newbies forum to the top of the forum list for newbies only.

I completely missed the fact that there's a newbies forum further down the page.

Just a thought to ease the pain for future newbies.

it was meant to prevent spamming/trolling.

They should make it more obvious. A lot of newbies have difficulty finding this section.

3 hours too long.

[Malayko]

yeah what that guy said...

Some people just like to roam around the forums for hours... Its a shame in order to reply to anything other than these posts is sad.

I've been roaming around these forums for about a year now created an account recently and now have to post crap like this to finally get actively involved.

The restrictions that are in place are pretty meagre so I don't understand why people still complain..

[pedrog]

Auto Refresh Plus, and go for a walk, when you came back a few hours logged in have passed...

I tend to agree with the OP on this one. 

In fact, another thing which degrades the forums is the selling of sig space.  I get paid for posting many times per month.  Thus I say stupid things like this post.  That's life, I guess.

It's a free market...

[newguy211]

These rules are too strict, it should only be 2 hours and 3 posts.

[gert63]

I have been lurking for quite some time on this site.

Finally made an account, and now stuck in this walled garden that is the newbie forum.

Soon I will be free!

mee too.i never read it that i must make 5 post..and not understoot wy i never could repley nou i know..

thanks all

I'm assuming it's just an anti-spam measure. It's a nominal amount of time and effort for someone new to do this, but it's more of a bitch for a spammer or a bot to do.

So you're complaining that you get payed for writing nonsense?
What's wrong with you?

Not complaining that I get paid.  Simply admitting that me writing nonesense for pay lowers the quality of the board.
