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

[cagrund]

I´m a newbie here, but i´m okay with 5 posts and 4 hours browsing around.

It's a shame u don't understand why there are 5 post newb restrictions put in place.  

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.

I'd personally make it twenty posts, and twenty-four hours.

Back on topic: Yes, most newbies have no idea why that's there, and if they could see, the answer is already in the Newbie section.

I understand perfectly. However saying you must post 5 times encourages spam posts. I'd rather just stick with reddit anyway.

Reddit does the same thing, IIRC.

I have browsed about 10 newbie topics and have nothing intelligent to say..

I am having trouble sending my filler posts. It says that I have already posted 360 seconds a go, bit I havn't. How can I complain about the minimum post requirements while also increasing my number of posts?

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

That's why the newbie restriction is stupid if everyone have to do that...

Hi this is my first post.
What i do for send a message?

[zolace]

well I signed up to make complain on Casino company. 

[bbjork]

Well it appears 4 hours of browsing and posting random messages is what i need to do to contact someone that i want to purchase hardware from. Rules are Rules right.

[KryptoKat]

4 posts in 5 hours though? Easy who cares

[EccLipSe]

i agree that;
if you put post limits 5 10 etc. forum goes into garbage.

What are we arguing about?

I don't mind going through hoops. Keeps the riff-raff out of the zoo.

I wish counting my BTC took longer

Meh, generally speaking I support these kind of newbie-restricting rules. But now I'm in a bit of a hurry to be able to post in a groupbuy thread in this forum and am slightly irritated, but I'll get over it :p.

Don't know if still active...

Oh well, I can wait for another 3 hours. It's not THAT urgent and I guess it will take just as long for a moderator to notice and approve my whitelist request. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yes this is all very silly.

I've been dying to post in another thread about USD withdrawals for MtGox as i've been waiting on a USD withdrawal for like 3 months now. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179586.2200)

Not only have I had to wait like a month before registration on bitcointalk was FINALLY reenabled, I have to now waste time posting in the newbie forums... omg, it just feels like everyone is trying to put up artificial walls and barriers. I just wanted to post on that thread over a month ago D:

I'm interested in the R10 thread by dyslexiczombei. Take a quick peak . I'm interested in buying 10 shares. Check out my 'newbie introduction' thread.
No need to tell anyone to f-off if everyone's polite.

Ah, your tea suggestion is making me want soup :p.
Time for some soup! Also 3 hours left!

(the 360 delay between posts is quite annoying)
