yes and no, i don't disagree there needs to be some sort of restriction, but I've been reading the forums without registering for ages, finally decided i had some thing constructive to say, which will now be obsolete by the time i get there.
Maybe another way to be able to post without the full wait times would be by "verification" or sponsorship from an existing member
Same for me. Read a lot, wanted to reply and found the restriction. Ah well, I guess banning trollers took to much time.
