I've been posting on forums for over 15 years, but just found this one. Now I'm stuck as a newbie for 1 1/2 months, and I feel like I can't really participate. Just some of the annoying things I've found so far: - I have to wait 360 seconds before posts and messages - I can't have a signature - I can't post pictures I'm sure there are more... I'm surprised that this site actually keeps new members, because all the limitations suck. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif)

And... that doesn't really affect your forum use by more than 10% I'd hope. You can't really be reliant on all the 'wonderful features' you're missing out on.
It used to be worse, with a newbie jail. Be glad that you don't have to deal with that (though it should really be implemented to curb spam/scams to the wall). And you're only stuck as a newbie for 4 weeks, max. Think about how activity works.
If you're on the first day of an activity period when you register, 2 weeks later you'll be in your second and another 2 weeks later you'll be in your third. Hence, Jr. Member.
If you're on the last day of an activity period when you register, 1 day later you'll be in your second and 2 weeks later you'll be in your third. Hence, Jr. Member. In 2 weeks.

Newbie restrictions are there for a purpose. Unfortunately, as with anything your going to have to grind it out until you rank up. Once you have ranked up you will then be looking at less restrictions each time. I'm sure once you have reached member you won't find it so limiting.

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure spam could be a problem here...
Too bad there's no fast track to membership, but I guess that would defeat the purpose of having Newbies at all.

Yes it would, and the forum would be even more of a mess than it is, believe me. Do more reading and less posting for now, and you'll be done with the noob restrictions in no time. Your English is pretty good, which is a huge plus and the sole reason you're not getting flamed to death here.

well.. the forum thinks you're a newbie, i guess it is like that so you would spend some time socializing with other newbies on the forum
PS: i also need to wait 360 seconds between posts, but that's ok, what's the hurry?

We all had to start somewhere. It is really for the better though seeing as it would get out of hand if they weren't in place.

Patience is key. You'll soon become junior and then everything will be much easier. For me the biggest setback was post times, i could only post once every 360 seconds which was very tenuous.

If you are a participating user in the forum, your activity level will grow, and with that, your ranking level also will grow! You need patience. Also, it is good to start as a newbie, so you can read more about what's being posted around, learn from it, learn also to make posts that benefit the forum overall, and before you know it, your ranking level is growing.

To avoid spamming of creating new account and spamming the thread. Just be patient and if you become at least jr member your restriction in posting in a thread would be lesser.

What's wrong with newbie rank. Limitations have purposes. That is all for the sake of our forum. Every rule and regulations will help to develop our forum, bitcoins and other related areas of digital currency. In my opinion, a person that would consider that newbie sucks are those who already had a higher ranked account or may possibly banned and start over again. Because I think that newbie is the excitement part, it's the curiosity part that triggers you to learn more. Or some may have some experience in bitcoin which is apart from a forum and already earning. They would consider newbie a waste of time.
Well. Today there are no easy way of earning. Skills and knowledge accompanied my time and patience is the key. Not just by ranking but also by understanding and experiencing the great things that bitcoin can give.
