It's all just part of noobie jail. If they weren't required to make 5 posts each / log in for 4 hours then this subforum would not be the way it is. But there would be other problems if newbie jail didn't exist. Do not question lord theymos and his implementations Cool

I thought the rules had been updated. I thought only 1 post was needed now, not 5.

Newbie Restrictions
You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. This post must be substantial: at least several sentences.

Rules soon to be changed to:

Newbies must be given at least 10 free Bitcoins before joining.
Newbies will be emailed with the top answers to whatever questions they might have (Bitcoin related or otherwise).
Newbies will be given admin privileges so that they can ban anyone who doesn't agree with them.
Newbies will be allowed to set the price of Bitcoin once per day.

I suspect this might not be enough to keep all newbies happy though.

Not even funny.
