I love these restrictions. Keeps annoying people away

Hi,
  My own case is different. I can post (obviously), but I need to contact Wiser through message. How do I do that? Can somebody enlighten me as regards sending personal messages please? Thanks.

Just click on the little quote bubble icon thing under their username or go to their profile and scroll to the bottom and send PM.

2000 posts a month since you registered! Do you browse every single thread to achieve that? You must know this forum pretty well!!

hilariousandco is a legend
You can find him in the first page here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=posts;start=0

That is where I found him, on the first page

You are pretty efficient yourself : more than 600 posts a month since you registered, I did half in a month

Thanks everybody for the help. I now know how to contact "Wiser".

OP, you are welcome

Six minutes between posts for a new member isn't unreasonable, but the timer resets even if you navigate through the forum. For instance, if I find something I want to post on, I have to make sure not to touch that browser window or look at anything else on the forum for six minutes, else the counter will reset. I find that a bit strange.

That's not true. Log-ins, searches and attempted posts reset the clock, browsing or clicking around does not. The time limit also quickly goes down the more activity you get.

I had the same problem. You could choose another topic to post in, but you gotta make sure that you do it after 360 sec(6mins) everytime. It's kinda complicated but you'll firgure it out soon enough . Good luck

I dont agree. What it is good for to login and post immediatelly, other than spam ?

When I load up the site: I am not logged in.  I am almost always not 'logged in'. I will read many discussions,  while still not logged in.

When I see something that I wish to reply to;  I expect to be able to login, and post my reply immediately.
It is unreasonably annoying,   to get a "Wait 6 minutes" error message,   when attempting to complete the post at that point.

Usually what happens then, is I will abandon the reply, as it just isn't worth it.
I might not immediately logout after posting,    but  I am not logging in every day that I visit the site.

Why don't you just stay logged in or as soon as you view the site log in then so it'll be fine when you try post. Or if you just waited the full six minutes before attempting to post you'd be fine.

You are new. Until you have some posts here and some activity you won't be able to post in other sections. This is to minimize spam I suppose.

messages also give you a 360 second barrier from posting, so keep that in mind too
at least until you break out from newbie jail

[mprep]

There is atimer depending on your membership level.

[megadoodie]

I've never posted this happens to be my first one. I just come here and look for information, get what I need and go about my day.

[ersBCT]

Had the same problem, now I know why.

[darrahity]

I agree about the 360 second rule and also the 'you already posted this' bug. They are very unfriendly for newbies. As more people who are not 'very tech savvy' become familiar with bitcoin, they will come across this forum which is a massive aid for newbs to BTC. It nearly chased me away when i got these messages (in fact it did for that day but stubbornness made me come back again the following day!)

I agree that many newbies come to bitcointalk to ask their questions, but it is indeed not that hard to wait 6 minutes before making your post.

Also, we will have a lot more spamming if people can register an account and make 10 posts in a minute.

[Yuki1988]

You only need to withstand the 360s limit for at most 2 weeks.
I am sure you can survive it lol.
