Finally someplace to post! How do you get access to other areas?

[Mastro2k]

I had no reason to post I was just reading but then when I wanted to reply to something, I couldn't. Took about two days to figure out I could reply here, very frustrating.  Should alter the "Help" to say new members are super limited.

I wanted to inquire about purchasing this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=253123.0

And then I thought, well maybe you have to donate to post at https://bitcointalk.org/donate.html which the donate says "You must contact theymos prior to donating" but then if I try I get "You are not allowed to send personal messages."

It's a vicious endless loop.  I had no reason to go down to "Other" boards as I was only interested in "Bitcoin" forums at the top. This is a "bitcoin" community.  Wasn't until by accident just now I noticed the "Newbies are restricted on all boards except this one" down in the "Other" section.

So how can I go about trying to inquire about that miner hardware for sale if I'm stuck in newbie land? I can't even message the owner of the post.

just chill man. Take your post count above 4 and get more active here and you'll get access to all other threads

[Mastro2k]

Sorry, I just don't post on stuff normally to post stuff so my post count will never be high. Only on things I actually want to post on, like that hardware. Plus I spent two days clicking around trying to figure out if I had done something wrong, trying to do a search but limited to only searching every minute, which takes forever. So I was very frustrated by the time I got to posting this.

Same newbie situation here, hope to become a valuable member of the forum 

[troy112]

Nothing much to do just be active for 4 hours and post 1 post you can get access to other posts.

[Sindelar1938]

Kill some time, post a few

And sooner or later you get out of newbie jail..

I would really like to reply to some threads and give my input but I am very much restricted still.

[mortenmoulder]

I didn't know where to go neither. Thanks to #2 for replying.
I applied for the whitelist.

Replying... Need to get my post up. Just signed up.

There are other forums out there with stricter rules than this one, and we're far from the good old days of late 90's / early 2000's IRC where you could be perma ban on certain chans if you joined without saying "hello", just because a mod was on a hissy fit.

This is hard, but its required and I support this endehavour.

[kajigger]

Thanks for the info.
I've been here a long time but just registered a week ago.
I like this Forum very much.

Yes, I understand the restrictions to limit spammers, but I also had the same problem. You read a post, you register to give a decent reply and then suddenly: The newbie wall.
It would be useful if some of the content in the Newbie section was of higher quality. Well, I guess that would also justify the wall.
Anyway I guess this is my one post.

Why can't I just lurk?

[Susie]

have the same problem as you, sad 

[WayTooGosu]

You have to reach a certain number of posts before you can post on other sections of the forum.

You can make your post anywhere after just 1 post and 4 hours.

Thank you for the information.

Yeah I was confused too. I registered and then I thought that I can post a question on one of the subforums but I couldn't. I gave up and now months later i learned about the newbit section and I'm back, so hopefully I can get out of newbie jail, lol.
