I have been visiting this site for a year but now that I need to bid on an auction, I can't because I have to rack up time and a post count in the newbies section first?
If you've actually been visiting this site for a year, how did you not know about the newbie requirements? I'd guess that has to be the number one most frequently posted topic on the entire board.
If you did know about the newbie requirement, then the "Stupid" thing is procrastinating fulfilling those requirements for an entire year and then having had ample opportunity, complaining that the rule is "Stupid".
