Dont know why there isnt a stake for newbies (0.5).
New people must wait almost a month to get a Jr. Member, just to get a signature. Why wait so long, everyday there are new members, give them the chance to advertise coins and earn something for themselfs.
Problem about that is that there actually are plenty of clone accounts designed specifically to participate in sig campaigns and the likes but merely spam, hence the restrictions I suppose. It makes sense. Unfortunately honest users have no choice but to accept this restriction too.
