I know people have different opinions (I would have it no other way! ;D ), but to see new members post 27+ identical posts and sill have no negative karma is a little frustrating :-\
I know it may be tempting to SPAM your way to 50 post and yeah I can understand peoples frustrations at not getting in to the "General Forums" immediately.
HOWEVER - AND THIS IS IMPORTANT.
The system is set like this for a reason, its designed encourage new people to introduce themselves, discuss matters with fellow "noobs" all under the watchful eyes of Sr and Hero Members.
Yes - Hero and Sr Members DO frequent the Newbies Forum. Its the first place they look to gauge the quality (read trustworthiness) of new buyers / vendors.
By posting endless SPAM, just to get to your 50 posts is counter-productive as it send all the wrong messages to fellow posters and the more experienced vendors / member. Exactly the people you want to get "on-side".
Why don't you start creating a new post that interests people, promoting discussion and simply comment on reply's etc?
It doesn't take long and besides it isn't a race. The experienced vendors have all gone this route, to cut their teeth in the beginning......
You should follow their example.
Why don't you use up a few posts here? : http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=206760.0
Pass on your experiences to like minded people.....it's far more interesting that seeing endless SPAM posts and complaints.
You are better than this. The community deserves better!! ;D

LOL, Spamming to 50 had a good chuckle at that!
Seriously he is just spamming to try to get people to vist the site and buy BTC.
When he hits 50, he will leave the newbie section and spam the rest of the forums.
-
At least he now has -1 Karma, but to me this is still "cheating" and gives off a lack of trustworthiness.
Do people generally spam their way to 50 posts and then start posting decent content and start contributing to the community?
Am I doing something wrong? (i.e. Should I just post another 40 single posts to a spam topic?......my conscience tells me NO!)
Finally, why is there not more of an outcry, when there are lots of good "Noobs" playing the game fairly and helping to establish trust and relationships with fellow members new and old?
(Scratches head)
Namaste.

Look he is selling something outside of SR which is against the rules the mods will delete the account.
Karma means jack shit, i however earned mine.
And yes lots of decent folk spam to 50. In fact id say the majority of people on the forum spam to 50.
Edit, this is my 100th post, i can now neg everyone yay.
Chill Winston.

Machine Elves, you speak a lot of sense.
The system (from my limited reading) is set up exactly like you say.
And as Trollin points out - the Mods (if they are worth their salt), will delete the account.
There are always idiots in forums, and its up to people like you two to call them out and let the Mods do their work.
I am disappointed that there are an element that do get away with spamming their way to 50, the Mods could be a little more firm on that side of things.
Bottom line, I think it would promote good discussion / debate and less bitching and complaining.
RANT OVER!

I think the moderators will take care of it. I would be surprised if this is allowed to go on.
-
but it looks like he is offering a good deal isnt it, 99 dollars for a btc is nice ::)
-

If it wasnt for Bad Karma I wouldnt have any Karma at all Muahahahhahahaha
-
What have you been doing to recieve this karma?
-
No telling , but it doesnt really matter , its jus a set of numbers , doesnt affect me in anyway
-
if you're talking about the bitcoin spammers then iirc that's why the newbie section was set up, to keep the spam contained in one area. the mods delete the lot as soon as they can.
most newbies spam to 50 because they want to post something in a specific section. it's completely pointless in the case of reviews or scam warnings as who would trust mr 50 spam posts and 1 'sincere' post.
-
spam is baaad... mmmkay?
-
I'm gonna leave it up to the moderators I for one wont spam to 50 the newbie section is where i belong for now plus it kind of works as a general section that can be used for anything. I agree with you on trying to connect and communicate with other users though I love the forums :P
