Newbie Restrictions compared to buying your first Bitcoin

[ker]

How do we get outa here , does that mean we can still only post on the newbie site , i want to go to the moon not just mc donalds, i want i want i want

I've got to admit my first experience in this website isn't going well, I had to jump through less hoops when I bought my house.  Along with only being able to post once every 6 minutes is INFURIATING, especially when simple things like LOGGING IN trigger the timer.

But I guess when you think about it it's not that bad a price to pay to filter out the asshole kids that no doubt shit up the place.

Mined my first coins back in 2011, been lurking on these forums for a couple years and had mixed results from a few trades. How many posts do we need to get out of this newb section?

You don't need to write an essay,Just waiting for 4 hours while being active and browsing and posting a single reply (and the one line ones work too I guess) so it's more about waiting and browsing/looking around than writing.

I haven't the slightest idea...lol...

I post a reply and nothing happens - I am down with the little forks and hot coals...

It's Easy post  a reply then wait 4 hours then your good to go.

the worst part is every 2nd post i get that annoying "wait 360 seconds" crap

[olinnebit]

I've been hanging out here a heckuva lot longer than for hours though, and it says I've only been logged in for 2 hours 37 minutes...

2 hours 58 minutes it says now.

Weird.  Wonder what kind of algorithm they are using to create "bitcointalk time?"

You have to be active, i.e read stickies or post here. If you log out the timer stops, same if you go AFK. This what I've seen other users say.

My original and FIRST post threw a '360 seconds since last post' warning! Duh? It was FIRST post!

Just need to post a question about cpuminer 2.3.2 on Ubuntu 10.04 that stopped working... wait 4 hours... yawn...

Actually, I see they have an actual "rank" of "full member"...lol...I ain't up to that yet.  I had just added my own random adjective when I described myself there awhile ago.  Sorry!

I didn't mind the essay.  I don't really blog or journal so it was kind of nice to do a quick recap of how I ended up getting involved with bitcoin and crypto in general.

And welcome from a fellow n00b and longtime lurker!

No, that isn't right.  I bet I've been on the site a total of 25-30 hours the past 2 days, and I've only been credited with being here 3.5 now....

between us we should work it out , meanwhile just keep posting. whilst saying that I need email data bases for a social mission to help mass adoption of the crypto currencies

[MEpatriot]

Is part of this built on the number of posts, you think?

[toxigenicpoem]

Whats worse than newbie status, is the 3 minute post wait time. But then the forum software thinks you double post, so you can't post what you wanted to post even after 3 minutes. It feels like hell.

That being said, I'm a jr member now, and I wasn't scared away. So I like this place, and maybe its a good deterrent.

[MEpatriot]

It seems to start at 5 minutes, actually.

I think I'm down to just two minutes now between posts...
