I understand the process but their must be a better way. Many people join the forum when a pool problem occurs and feel the need to post within the pool's section but are unable to because of the 5 post restriction (4 hours is easy), but finding worthwhile posts to reply to are harder to come by.
Maybe a trial period in the pools forum only would be better, the moderators do hang out there as well.

I agree, people will just get pissed off when they can't post.
I wonder what anyone is gaining with these rules?

The think the forum is gaining is that they can limit all of their 'spam' theoretically to one sub-forum. The thing I've noticed is the newbie forum seems to have more moderators than other forums and I think that in a sense is to help limit their spam. I agree though with maybe a trial period in the pools forum but I posted by pools forum questions in the newbie section and they were answered quickly.
