I'd like to be whitelisted as well. Although I only have a few posts, I think they are indicative of my non-spamminess. One of my posts was with a technical problem about Bitcoin. I was trying to post another one today but am restricted to the Newbies section. I'm a software developer and have a strong desire to contribute to the development of Bitcion.
Additionally, I provide web development services and accept Bitcoin as a currency. By being restricted to this section, I'm unable to effectively promote this service and thus encourage the expansion of Bitcoin as a currency. In fact, I'd suggest finding a better way of dealing with spam than this, as it is going to severely dampen the exchange of Bitcoins for goods and services, much of which occurs through this forum.
I also advocate for Bitcoin on Youtube and via social media. When people ask questions such as "How do I know the creators of Bitcoin won't just make a bunch of them and get free money?" I am able to answer and go into some depth on the cryptographic and technical implementation details of why Bitcoin is resistant to these things. Not only this, but I'm able to present it in a manner that the average Joe can understand--something that is unfortunately lacking in the Bitcoin world. In fact, I just ordered a 1080p webcam today in hopes of starting a Youtube channel that may make Bitcoin more palatable to the average non-technical user.
In short, I'm not a newbie, please whitelist me
