It indeed took me a lot of time to figure out that with these forums, for some reason you first have to post somewhere here before your account gets unlocked. This is rather irritating, especially when some mining pools only deliver support using these forums. So when for example your account is locked, you first have to go through these strange ´approval´ procedures before you can post anywhere else.

I haven´t seen this on forums anywhere else, so yes, I think this is rather strange.

I some what agree and was lost to why I couldn't post. A lot of will come here from Google, read a thread and want to reply. So, we sign up, don't read everything, who does. Then be lost as to why you can't reply. I can see this slowing spammers down, but I don't see how it would stop them from create 100s of users, posting stuff in the newbie area and they waiting. Thing about spammers is they have time, spamming is their job...

unsolicited and paid advertising are two different monsters.

First I am a newbie here, but I am not a newbie in the digital world. The reason I want to register and post is all the sudden I have a good idea or want to talk to a very interesting post. However, the so called newbie policy killed the passion.

Looks like you're not a newbie anymore. Congrats.  Grin

Yes, it's annoying. Specially the need to wait 4 hours until you can answer something in the other forums. But OK, it's the decision from the admin here.

Let's be patient.  Wink

yea we might not like it but we just have to deal with it.  The policy is here for a reason even though it wasnt really specified.  At first I didnt like it but right now im good with it.  Imma newb anyways so the policy is probably implemented for guys like me =/

I'm not offended but annoyed. Does this policy help with trolls/spammers?

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Stick around for a few days. Make some posts. The more you post, the more the restrictions lighten up. This actually happens very quickly.

Here is some important information about the forum. This is not a rulebook or agreement.

RESTRICTIONS FOR NEW MEMBERS

After registering, you will be unable to post in any section except "newbies" until you have spent some time on the forum and have published a few posts.

At the begining my opinion was near of the OP
but after learned that Only 4 hours was good to post i agrree with the policy

BUT notice the quote !
it was said nowhere precisely how much time
if the newbies cant know how can they truely accept the policy
please be more precisely

happy christmas

I have a coin logo that I want to submit and I have no way to share it...

Kind of annoying, contest might be closed before I get the chance to post it.

I totally support you on this, as I just registered to reply on a specific topic.

Anyway, as the number of new users are growing I guess it will take a lot of time for the mods to actually go through and approve new members? Are we talking hours, days or even weeks..?

I understand you must have some reasons to restrict new registered user, from what I read trollers? but the benefit of saving some work for mods does not match the loss of a new passionate bitcoiner(or altcoiner).

I think the spirit of bitcoin is freedom and equal opportunity, but the so called newbie policy does not fit it.

I strongly suggest the forum remove this policy or at least make it reasonable. There are many other ways to stop trollers, like setting the post frequency, etc. Not like this!

Thanks for listening, hope more and more people join the family of bitcoin(or altcoin) family!

Merry Xmas to all!  Smiley

If the policy killed your passion you had no passion to start with. You wanted to get rich quick, but a noobie policy stopped you? I love the policy, it takes longer for noobs to join a otherwise serious discussion. Maybe we don't actually like it when 90% of the posts in any thread is from a noob who "have faith in this coin, yay!!!" Smiley

I also agree. I am totally blind, and wish to reply to certain posts, and private message developers about accessability concerns, and am unable to do this because of this policy!

Rather than telling me I cannot post, it tells me I made a post in the last 360 seconds, which is a lie. Annoying

Same here, so damn annoying. It should be 60 seconds or 120 seconds maximum, not 360 seconds its so bad. I'm glad I have 28 activity now its gone.
