I was wondering the same thing. Quick suggestion, when registering it would be a good idea having an email mentioning the newbie rule or getting a msg when signing in. regards

In my case it's been 4 hours and I'm still a newbie! Is this standard procedure? Maybe I should post more

Although I'm going through the same newbie status, I guess the best course of action is to just wait. I'm sure there is a queue a mile long for folks in the same place as us.

The requirements also specify it must be a post of sufficient content spanning a few sentences. 

Such as this one.  I hope.

I had to relog after that 4 hours to post somewhere else than newbie, if you cant try it!

[wolfspilz]

Thx for the information, was wondering my self.
An email with this information on registering would be good.

Interesting!

Does the "newbie leash" extend to PMing as well?  I am attempting to purchase Mastercoin through the Order Book, and this requires sending a PM to members here, but I get the "an error has occurred, you are not allowed to pm" message when I attempt to do so.  Can you, please, advise?

very useful info

i have my account in bitcointalk.org since May ´13. i never had reason to write any post, reading was enough for me. mostly i found answers to my questions and didn´t need to spam every thread full.
now when i see my status as "brand new" it just looks funny for me.
i think, that this "newbie" status and the reasons why this status is existing, are not up to time anymore. just usual informative stats about every member would be enough.
or can anybody reasonably explain me, how this restriction of 4h should "protect" rest of community?
