This wait time is fairly ridiculous

Why not just have us sign our wallets so we can at the least message people instead of having to wait 4 hours and waste 4 posts.  I've been wanting to buy some items now for weeks, and I have to go WELL out of my way to get ahold of the person by doing google searches to try and find them on other websites just to send them an email. 

Just my 0.000025 BTC.

If you want to be active within the community and take advantage of the buy/sell section the first step is creating an account and breaking the noobie barrier...

I know!
I suppose we can't blame them as I am told the spam on the forum was huge and needed managing

Yes, the restrictions for the newbies were very annoying to me in the beginning.

However, I passed the barrier and am now a Member.

Just be patient a bit, and contribute.

It'll be much easier to use the account later.

It's quite frustrating when you have something to contribute to another part of the forum yet have to do a song and dance. I get it, but I don't have to like it.

Woo. All this reading but can't post yet. I'm all against spam so this is good.
