Should newbies be restricted again?

What, you wanna tell me theymos is perfect? I could prove it to you easily why he is running this forum badly but it is pointless because he himself
and most who have power around here do not care.

Im not saying he is perfect, I am saying he is better than most people.

How do you expect newer user's to meet the standard requirements needed to be a high quality user, when we are restricted to posting only once every 6 minutes? Not to mention private messaging is not allowed from what I see. It's saying I've posted already within the last 360 seconds (before this post) and won't let me message anybody. This is my first time online for the past month, having to wait 6 minutes to reply to a PM is pathetic.

Edit: Totally pathetic restrictions. I wait 90 seconds to search the forum for something specific, but have to wait ANOTHER 90 SECONDS TO VIEW THE SECOND PAGE OF RESULTS.

Yeah, this forum's a joke.

Yes, this is very annoying. Seems the counter is reset after logging in, so you have to wait 6 minutes after that before you can reply. And in this time, you have of course already tried to post and reset the counter. And of top of this there is the error saying "Ops you already posted this" even though you didn't. And this of course also resets the counter. I figured the only way to get around this is to logout and in again, wait 6 minutes and try to post a third time.

What's wrong with new people asking questions? Maybe they see yer activity level and ASSUME you must know what yer talking about. What a bunch of assholes! Too bad you can't cast a spell like in WOW right?

What a bunch of Whiney, Neckbeard, Redditor Wanna-Be, Basement Dwelling Faggots you all are.

I see a ton of newbies creating threads in various places throughout the forum solely to advertise their reflink...

[stsbrad]

Absolutely should be restricted. The forums have the feel of a dirty carnival right now.

Aside from the reinstatement of newb jail, I would also like to see them restricted from creating ANN threads.

What??! Not fair! The only reason anyone signs up here is to announce a new shit coin.

Well we are trying to reduce "shit" on the forum anyways...

If you adopt such a hardline stance it will lead to a shortage of alt-coins. Oh the horrors!

Why not start your own forum?

I agree with newbies restriction, a lot of scam and virus pushing from them in the last weeks..

[MarshallSambell]

I'm a newbie and I agree, at least there would be a bit less advertising/scam spam on here.

They would wait...

wait and do what, take part in a community reading and avoiding previous mistakes instead of endlessly going for the moneyshot.   You dream big


I can remember being a noob and it wasnt a massive deal.  The noob section is fairly well populated and frequented by 'real' forum users.    It is the most harsh deal Ive seen for new users on a forum but due to the nature of the business I understand its for the best now.
Its only a real pain for people who have no real question or threads to read on a subject new to them; mostly because they arent new at all.  Thats fine

If we're making a list, no one'd have time to read it.  There are new ones every few minutes in the Marketplace
