A bit annoying - yes, but rules are rules and reasons are reasons!

I really posted here because I felt frustrated and I didn't continue posting, rather I closed my browser out of frustration. However, reading such posts of "as you wish, and here is my 1st post" cracks me up and almost fell off my chair. Epic!

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 just want to post and pm thank you.

It's not a way of getting rid of spam... but it's a way of significantly reducing it, and it works.
And think about it... it's not THAT annoying, is it? I mean, really... what's 4 hours? It's half a working day, it's a short night's sleep, it's two films.
Stop whining about nothing - the rule does more good than bad.

Then you wake up and you find that you have to keep clicking for non-stop 4 hours, not just leaving your browser open for 4 hours, and you'll get back here cussing why is that happening. Huh! As if people don't have a life! People have been lurking here for as long as the board was created and I couldn't remember for the life of me what username and what email I used to register on here a couple of years ago! I posted in the mining threads and never logged in again, which is why I got even frustrated, and if there was a process to retrieve your account by stating your Country, and Date of Birth, that would be amazing.

Not a bad idea...I've just realized this rule 2:35 after browsing. Keeps me learning!

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.
I have to agree. I made account today just to clarify something in altcoin thread and having to sit through all the crap going on here is killing me on inside. By the way dont worry about trolls calling you noob. It´s rather cute when basement dwellers turn into snobs, cause "they are totally veteran here".

It's stupid that the thread keeps getting bumped. Here's why. You only need to make 1 post, and wait for 4 hours to be jr member. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0Why do people keep complaining about a nonexistent rule?

I agree. I think one minute is enough. This restriction is very annoying. Long time lurker, decided to sign up today.

I didn't notice the restriction at all. Posted a few things in Newbie, read a ton of topics in the other sections. Watched my miners slowly mine - watched a film... replied to a post that wasn't in the newbie section.
Somewhere in all of that the four hour restriction passed.

it's to avoid having someone opening the tab and just refreshing now and then and getting into the site even with multiple accounts. anyway I think it has already been lowered and at 1 post only now which is quite easy to accomplice even without spamming.

not to bump this thread again, but as newbie who just got buried. This thread isn't even relevant anymore as the requirements have changed.
@MiningBuddy, @tysat, can we get this thread closed??
