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

Indeed, it's not nice to be a newbe.

I'd like to post a message in Ukyo fall topic but can't now.

Same for me - I'm curious about trading of bonds, however I'm not able to do so... Ah well, looks like I just need to wait a bit more.

Yeah seems quite silly, you just end up with a forum full of useless spam posts like this one.

And this one.

First post so naturally i'm just going to write "several sentences" of complete junk cos that's what i've gotta do. Been a lurker here since a few weeks before i bought my first coins months ago.

Finally convinced the mrs that buying them was a good idea when they were about $85. She wasn't happy about it though. I tried to explain to her the complexities of bitcoins and how the whole world might be on board with them in a few years time but she hasn't really been convinced until the last few weeks. when they went to $200 she was practically begging me to sell them but i told her it was gonna get far bigger and i wasn't gonna sell.

You should see her now, she's scrabbling around for extra money to buy in after the next big crash, whenever that will be.

That's my first post out the way. So i keep seeing stuff about 5 posts? do i really have to spam 5 posts in here to be able to post elsewhere? pfffffffffffffft.

Didnt know about the 5 posts, probably browsed for 40h+ and now im also at 2 posts, almost there

I was wondering why I couldn't post in other forums...guess I'll have to spam this one lol.

[Steve54]

Yeah, its odd to make people post spam, but, whatever.

On a slightly usefull note, theres a whitelist thread that you can request you be allowed full access without the spamming / leaving yourself logged on for 4 hours. Admins are offline right now so probs pointless but at least you can increase your post count by 1!

The Mrs walked in from work the other night looking a bit upset. She asked if i could console her.

So I hit her over the head with my xbox.

bdum tsch.

*post number 2 complete*

[talkcoinkris]

Post no. 2.

[drayah]

My first useless post

[buffett]

4 hours is easy!

1. login
2. create a html file, put bitcointalk.org into iframe, auto refresh every minute with javascript.
3. go to bed
4. profit $$$

I don't think 5 posts are much, if you have to browse for 4 hours anyway.

It’s just the rules, keep it.

Hello Ppl,

I'm trying to make a point by posting in this thread for the first time. 
There are countless topics on the forum which I'd love to respond to, but since I have to make a substantial post in the newbie section first, I'm here.
Don't really know what else to stay, I love this community and its interesting discussions. Been lurking for about two years and finally decided to create an account.

Sooo... yeah, have a good one. And drop the attitude about newbs. 

[StefanThePro]

What sucks is that I see 100s of posts that I'd be replying to and be contributing to positively and now I have to basically go and restate things previously said in order to bypass the restriction.

Whether I've been active 5 minutes or 5 years.

[NightFerret]

Another useless post.

[Multivitaminz]

5 posts 4 hours and time limit to post makes it even worst

[Bitsurprise]

No not stupid 

[RaveOn911]

Well for most of the forum I can understand the restriction. But the Mining Support section I think would have a lot of newbies needing help starting.
I have overclocked 3 Blue Fury miners to 2.8 Ghs and would post my results to help others but I can't yet.

Is it spam when you send it to a subforum apparently dedicated to collecting spam?
