I hope this post will enable me to post outside the newbies section. It is going to run on a bit pointlessly in order to meet the "substantial" requirement I read about. Unfortunately I spent 4 hours browsing before making my first post as I didn't think I was able to post at all -- I didn't realize that I could post in the newbies section. So, now I'm wondering if I have to wait another 4 hours or if I will be able to post based on my previous logged in time accumulation.
This substantial post and 4 hour wait is a bit frustrating, but I guess it is worth it to cut down on spam.
No you don't have to wait another 4 hours. It's four hours total. Ok, and about the "substantial" who will be judging that? That's kind of fuzzy and rather subjective? Restrictions like this are rather annoying to be honest. Rules should at least be clear in my opionion. You just need to write several sentances and that is considered substantial.

I spent the last 15 minutes trying to work out why I couldn't post anywhere!! Eventually found the newbie area!! Guess it avoids too much spam in the main forums but a little annoying because I want to post in a giveaway post for a new coin I am going to be too late now because Also have to wait around on the site for hours before I will be able to post Even though I have been surfing without an account for days!!! Guess I should have made an account earlier :/ Anyhow, hopefully this is enough to count as a post and I will have more access soon!! If it is not I guess I will be making some more random posts :/ Btw the community on here seems quite good all in all Exciting times with the new crypto currencies!

Just be careful who you trust on here. There's a lot of scammers. Always use escrow.

Thanks for the reply... I just minded a load of digibytes.... got in there quick and got like 10K on first few blocks. However, apparently the pool was hacked and some thief logged in under my name &took all my coins So I can see there is plenty of scammers/hackers out there (although that was problem with the pool in question and nothing to do with bitcoin forum).

Sometimes these coins are just scamcoins and are inside jobs. Hard to trust anyone where there's money involved or to be made.

So is there anywhere I can see the 4 hour countdown until I can post? Or will I just suddenly see that I am able to post in other forums?

You will become a Jnr Member. The time logged in is at the top left under your username.

I registered and tried to post in other parts of forum, but no-no. :/ It took me a while to find this subforum and find out that I need to wait for 4 hrs and make a few posts. Hopefully it's gonna be fine in a few hours

This doesnt make any sence for me, that you have to find a newbie topic and write some pointless text and wait a lot of time just to be able to post on the rest of the forum. If there was some trolls that were making new accounts just to troll someone, wouldnt it be easier that you were able to make certain amount of accounts per IP?

Why doesn't it make sense? It's not just to keep trolls away. That IP would probably be banned if several people were trolling from it.
