[tawitsa]

I've only got 3 hours left until I can post elsewhere   See you in the other sections.

It would make a bit more sense if the 5 post rule was altered to allow us to do some sort of human verification, instead of having to post random useless posts.
I've started a thread in the newbies forum, so I hope I get some help with my quirky setup and have some contributing posts. I'm not that n00b to bitcoins, but whatever.

That human verification does exist 

Posting here will guarantee a human review:

That being said, you, specifically, won't have to do this, since I just whitelisted you.

[SmithR]

That's a least a great option to be whitelisted !
Please ...
 

[whipnil]

Never! This is my millionth post and still nada.

[iPaulito]

That seems fair!

Hope you're past your 5 posts limit to post outside already.
1 more after this one and I'm free as well!

This system is kinda stupid being that it promotes spamming the newbie area and staying logged in for no reason.

[mg27341]

I think you need 5 posts.

[sarajasie0C2C]

sometimes the forum takes a while to update your position

I should have registered a looong time about. Being a lurker sucks.

[skynetislive]

4 hours and 5 posts according the readme

Completely agree. I wanted to get free ripples here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=145506.0 but i haven't been logged in long enough or made enough posts :/

Hello everyone!  Just wanted to say hi and express how much I've loved reading BCT over the last year!

[CartmanSPC]

As soon as you start reading and posting on bitcointalk, your logged in time will soon be measured in days, not hours

I can attest to that. Only thing is I didn't know about the 4 hour rule so I hadn't bothered to register for an account until I was ready to post :/

[xilin]

4 hours are a long long time

[n4ru]

4 hours is a bit ridiculous, but necessary I suppose because of spam.

[Derivagral]

First I failed the captcha several times (and retyped everything every time!) and now there's this wait. I guess it is justified, but I wonder if I should've just kept lurking...

Rest of the forum is nice at least.
