Newbie restrictions

[tulle]

I was wondering about why I couldn't post. Thanks for the clarification

[octopus]

I don't want to be a newbie anymore.

Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- Newbies cannot upload their own avatars.
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)

Okay thanks for the info!

So, this is why I can't reply anywhere. Silly, but I guess necessary.

[mandyb]

Not much to ask!  Great to read other's reaction though.

a troll or spammer is not blocked by these rules, imho.

[Lassi]

Smoothie or Milkshake they caused this... but Lassi is a good one.

[barry2]

nightmare it would stop the majority of them id imagine.

[Pokerfan]

These restrictions make no sense....

[InfSys]

Reasonable rules.

Now i have to find some topix to get out of here.

[CyanSlowly]

Fair enough. I wish I had more to say,

but here I am just getting another post in. Want those ripples...

[aflamovie]

I think they're fair.

[codegnome]

took me awhile to get here and find out why I could not reply to posts. duh

[bexxem]

Oh dear, signed in to get some Ripples on the giveaway thread and noticed I'm a newbie with restrictions

[PRab]

Grumble... I tend to lurk so these restrictions caught me the one time I felt I had something valuable to say. Oh well, I'll just do a couple quick posts here.

[plummonkey]

I seem to have filled the criteria but am still a newb... Any idea why?

[plummonkey]

Is this live?

I have over 4 hours of time logged in and over 5 posts but still can't reply in threads.
