New users can't use Steemit
So, now not only new users have to wait a couple of weeks to sign up on Steem, but after they finally get an account, they can't use it! No posting or voting, because they are low on "resource credits". And they must spend money in order to use the website. Remember, we are talking about people who came here in order to earn money. Really guys? That's how you expect to grow user base? Anyway, here is an interesting article about what is going on.

Such low RC limitation was a very bad Idea.
Hopefully it gets reconsidered soon.
Thank You for posting, but I have to partially disagree, (for what I've seen), the more practical example is of me a friend helping another friend creating and configuring his steemit account, 2 or 3 days ago (yes I agree that there is a too long waiting period, there was an ~ 2 week wait until account verification) and as soon as he finished configuring everything, he started to post, upvote and followed other steemians, without any problem or warning about RC, no money had to be spent =X
Maybe something went wrong with some accounts, and I say this because You're not the first person that I see with this kind of problem.. Wish I could be of better help, the best advice I can give is to start slowly, a couple posts a day, some upvotes (5 to 10 is a good average), and continue from there until You have more RC to create posts more frequently, without that limitationAnyway, wish You the best and that this kind of problems get solved soon, for I do want to see more people participating..Cheers@automation @cleverbot
Stop with this lets just think what we want to think.
You're talking to a real person right now, and in a few texts we will be rotated.
