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

[cs2000]

I agree, the restriction seems silly, but stops people asking silly questions and some SPAM bots I guess.

Just such a shame that it takes a long time to get to be able to post.

I only signed up to participate in a GB, but instead I have to make silly posts like this

[Dilsssss]

Signed up to contact a pool owner.
Can't contact him in any other way.
It's so annoying you have to wait for such a long time before I can actually send him a PM.
This stuff also promotes spam, as you must send a minimum of 5 messages, ugh.

If you want me to post your details in a thread just let me know, but you only have to wait 4 hours or so, so it's not a massive issue.

It is annoying and kind a spammy (this is number 1)

[djsteveoh]

had to search to find this thread to find out the newbie rules. it can be solved with a small warning message in profile section.

It tells you before you sign up. I guess like most people just skim past this info  .

Been reading over 4 hours so far, now I need make 5 posts and waiting another 4 hours? It's confusing...

You total logged in time at the top left would have to be 4 hours and you would need to make 5 posts. I was made a Jr. Member without reaching these, I have no idea why though...

As above it's only one post now, but are you sure you didn't have 4 hours?

[PureApeshit]

i like that it limits newbs spam, but common forcing posts is not a good idea, just time limit is good enough.

i just want participate in catcoin talks not here :/

Yes. Unless the website is glitched it says:
Total time logged in: 45 minutes.

It sure as hell promotes spam in this section

Good thing that no-one reads it, though

[Abdussamad]

You guys should band together and launch a rebellion!

I must admit, I don't normally read them if it's masses of T&Cs, but it's only a brief few lines here.

That's weird. According to the forum ranks (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.0) You need 1 post written over 4 hours ago, to become a jr. Could/can you post in other sections?

[falco]

I think this rule is ok, overall 5 posts is not so much

It's just one now and four hours wait.

There are alot of confusion on this matter (number 5 )
