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

I can see how this can be inconvenient but I guess at certain point in time it was a necessity to avoid spam threads.

Looking forward to step out of the newbie jail.

I find it a bit annoying as well.

I feel as though I am forced to make up whatever crap I can think of just so that I can make a post.

But thanks for the thread, you gave me a place to achieve my 1 post.

I hope this post counts as substantial enough..

I have something important to say in one post, but i can not because of this limit.

Like my situation. There are some pros and cons about these restrictions, but if you think about them a bit they aren't that worse and they have a reason. So we have to deal with it.

It's not a stupid idea, but it is very annoying you have to wait. Especially when there's threads you want to contribute to.

Common, it's only four hours ,and  it's not like you have the solution to save the world from collapse which it's happening in 3.5 hours.

First post! Due to getting through my newbie initiation training ritual and so on. Like most of the rest of you here..

Welp, back to reading info for a bit.

I've been part of many forums...managing etc.  Anything to keep spam at a minimum!  Since I just found this Forum I'll go through the process happily

[swaterduska]

i have been using bitcoins for a few months now, and also been reading these forums. But never register an account here and now i have to make a long post like this just to PM people. i get why they have the rules in place because i have been an admin on my fair share of forums and can see how the forum post rules will definitely help to stop  >:(spamers . but its still a pain in the behind for newer people to just jump in .

[chr0npiles]

I've been using bitcoins for months as well, and browsing these forums for ages, but just never thought to start an account.  Now that I actually have something insightful to post, I cannot do it!  Sigh...hope this post qualifies me for release.

Happy bitcoining fellow newbies.

Joining this forum because this forum has a group of high intelligence posters that I would want to communicate with. As this is my intended purpose, the requirements would not really matter.

I believe Bitcoin will be an important chapter in our lives to come in the next few years, be it for good or for worse.

[Whobedobe]

Silliest idea I've ever seen. I forum in which members can't post. Duh.
Now there's a stupid bug in which I can't reply to my own post, even though it I haven't posted anything for over 12 hours it says I posted less than 360 seconds ago!

[zamolxes]

Maybe in 4 hours those who know nothing will have time to learn about history being made and will post somenthing really useful.

[albinosincave]

Pretty annoying but kinda fair i get why its done, but kinda get lost on the forum. slow in newbs but hey ho

[CoderniX]

I co-sign this!

It just doesn't feel right, rather they should've limited what to do or don't do as a new member like exchanging big BTC amounts from the beginning of something, but the 5 posts thing is just non-comprehensible.

I said the new members and not the newbies, because it's not necessary that every new member is a newbie in the BTC world.

*Sigh*

Why is there an inconsistency between this thread, which says 5 posts and 4 hours... and This post which seems to indicate that you only need 1 post and 4 hours o_o

[phazon307]

Post #4 I think.

[OmniAtlas]

The restrictions on this forum are sub-par. The part where you have to browse for four hours is kind of reasonable and understandable.

However, having to post 5 times is ridiculous. The reason being is that it encourages spam posts. If you go to the newbies section most of is spam. The reason being is people just spam posts in order to post in the other forums.

This is a terrible idea. Now I have to sit here for four hours before released my project, and I have to make tons of these stupid pointless posts.

Thanks bitcointalk.

Didn't know there was a 5 post requirement. Here is my 2nd post
