Hello new people

Yay! I'm not a virgin anymore! see you guy's out there! 

I'm going through the motions of shaking off my newbie status specifically so I can comment in the ongoing GirlsGoneBitcoin thread.

Really, it's pretty embarrassing that this forum has this restriction. This is Bitcoin we're talking about. Why not have new users send a security deposit to a Bitcoin address, which activates their forum account, and if they're good forum citizens (not spamming), they get their deposit back after X number of posts. No need for board restrictions. No problem with spam (too expensive for spammers). And no aggravation for legitimate newcomers.

This would be a problem for someone who has problems getting their first coins.

There could still be the 5 posts / 4 hours thing, but "posting bail," as it were, would be a nice option for people well-established in Bitcoin who just haven't joined BitcoinTalk until now. I run Bitcoind 0.6.0 RC5 on Gentoo Linux and have a couple hundred BTC in my possession. Certainly there should be ways for total newbs to get started on this forum, but there should also be ways for established members of the Bitcoin ecosystem to get started without being treated like newbs.

And yes, I know my complaining is in direct violation of Post #1 in this board, which says not to complain about the newbie restrictions.

Welcome fellow peers! Sorry about the restrictions, but we have been the victim of extreme troll attacks in the past. If you had been here then you might understand why this is needed.

Hi everyone, I hope you all have a good, bitcoin trading, day.

[nouveau btc-iche]

+1 whitslack. Post #5 and out!

Hello to OP. 

And as for newbieland, I think it is character building.  Whether or not you are a big shot, everyone has to go through the same (not very onerous) process.  It seems in the spirit of bitcoin somehow.
