Yes this is all very silly.

I've been dying to post in another thread about USD withdrawals for MtGox as i've been waiting on a USD withdrawal for like 3 months now. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179586.2200)

Not only have I had to wait like a month before registration on bitcointalk was FINALLY reenabled, I have to now waste time posting in the newbie forums... omg, it just feels like everyone is trying to put up artificial walls and barriers. I just wanted to post on that thread over a month ago D:

All of the good/interesting posts are in newb-restricted forums. Not much to comment on in the newb forum.

But I see why they have the restriction since a bitcoin forum is a target for scammers and spammers.

So many scammers. And they come in all shapes and sizes, so everyone, especially new members, should drill the word "escrow" into their brains. Wink

A fool and his BTC will always be easily parted, but communities have always been the best defense against predators.
