Newbie restriction

[jneill]

Do newbies need to start a new topic, or does making a reply count as their first post?

And here is my second sentence.

good question. Im wandering that myself. Guess this is a test to see if i can PM after sending a reply

Make a new post (which you did) spend atleast 4hrs in forums (Total time logged in:) and you are out of newbie jail.,

[dhavin]

"out of newbie jail" means the 10 minute restriction between posts is also lifted? That would be soooo nice.

[reebokasss]

can someone explain me? im logged here 4hours 16min, posted 3 posts, and i still cant post in other forums except newbies... so how can i run from newbies jail?

"The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later."

I believe the posting restriction is for 6 minutes. (360 seconds = 6 minutes)

[blodyx]

this is so stupid.... but i guess ill have to start some where!

see you later

[mrtaz]

And I keep getting the last post within 360 seconds, but only have one post like 45 minutes ago  I just can't win.  All I want to do is find out why the pool I am on is registering my shares but not giving me any coins.

edit: Yay, finally got a post through

Look above there's a column called "Total time logged in:" when you reach 4hrs their means you have to spend atleast 4hrs before you can post anywhere, just cruse around a little bit.
For more info see this - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0

Haven't been able to post yet.
All attempts to post have given me the "last post was within 360 seconds" error.
Hopefully this one will work.

You have to wait 6 min to post after you've logged in.

I have been registered to hundreds of forums and have never experienced anything like this. First off I could not figure out where the reply buttons were at. Then I figured that there was some form of restrictions to new users so I had to go hunting for that information which was not put in plain site on the registration page. Now I am having to go through more hoops and perform tricks to please the powers that be. They are hurting themselves by making this difficult. Not surprisingly, this is almost exactly like bitcoin itself: hard as shit to get involved in. You have to first do a ton of research and spend hours and hours trying to figure out how everything works. And then when you do, your access is very limited until you have yet again spent many many hours and hours actually mining. I guess this community likes being difficult and making "newbies" go through a "learning phase" or some such mess. Whatever floats your boat man.

There are plenty of advocates for bitcoin that claim it will never be main stream acceptable until it is made easier to use. I agree. If you want people to do something, make it easy.

Making a post here just to try to get out of jail so I can post to the Bitcoin 100 thread!

[Airradda]

That's sounds about right to me. The main reason I'm trying to this forum is for the bonus you get on the devcoin faucet. 

[diapers]

what is this bonus u speak of

[mastream]

hmmm strange my first post was about a week ago and im almost always online, lets see if this post helps

Edit: lol what happend to my first post?

[dhavin]

What the hell is with all the crypto currency popping up anyway? Litecoin, devcoin, newbcoin, papasmurfcoin. Like where does it stop? Do I just invent my own crypto coin to make my next house payment in 20 years? Yeah uh today it's going to be chips-a-hoy coin. Yup.

Yes they are; you just didn't read them. They're also in the newbie readme.

And Bitcoin is easy. It's only difficult for technophobes and idiots.
