The restriction on Newbies posting can be counterproductive. I play BTC poker, but don't hang around forums ... hardly ever. When the odd occasion arises where I want to post (Satoshi Poker discussion today) i'm still a f*ckin newbie on this site and cannot reply to the Satoshi Poker thread. So ... bad policy, disappointing forum. Ideally you'd just get some active moderators ...

Problem I have with it is that I joined the site before they implemented this protocol.
Not right. I could post before. Now I can't. I was not given fair warning. If I had joined up after that's another issue. The stipulation would have been read.
Bullshit. As if we don't know how to post on a forum.

@ Bitcoin Merchant
Are you kidding me? You have over 60 posts and you are still restricted to this forum? Really? Wow. Bullshit.

@Imaginer: Some people very quickly rack up 50 or 60 posts in the Newbie board but still haven't spent the required 4 hours time logged in. Overall it's designed to limit spam on the forum from people creating 100s of forum accounts.
However, Newbie jail is fairly counterproductive - there are several topics that I would have contributed to in previous months had I not been in Newbie jail. Only now am I having the time to invest in contributing to bitcointalk...

Well you can completely understand why they have this protocol in place. it would take a determined spammer to get through the rules of "Newbie Jail' but once you are done that you are home free... Plus you could just go take a nap after having 5 posts and use an auto-refresher.

I don't understand why I am unable to post outside of the newbie forums. My total log time is 4 hours and 4 minutes and I have 5 posts and yet I still can't post anywhere else on this site. Thoughts?

So many people complaining. Just go to the Whitelist thread and prove that you're not another average newbie and if you are then deal with it  |

I dont think the restrictions are that bad if it stops some of the spamming that I have seen on other forums
