Yes,
To become Full Member you need 100 Merits. If you really aiming for high rank then use the search more,  read more and write good content( no copy paste allowed from this site or external site.)

yeap, you have too options:
- Making your efforts and self-promoting to a Full Member;
- Buying a Copper Membership, will give some priveledges, except wearing avatar.

Allows you to post images even if you are a newbie, reduces the time-between-actions limit, and provides some of the same benefits as being of natural Member rank.

Remember that there are two payment gates available for now: BTC, and Grin coin. The paid rate in Grin coin will change over time by manual setup by theymos, forum admin.
More details are available there: Paid Copper Memberships

You're wrong. A user can only upload profile picture (avatar)  when s/he ranks up to full member and above. The copper membership only comes with some privilege as the member rank like wearing signature, uploading image in text and not uploading an avatar. Those lower rank users you see with avatar are does who were wearing one before the implementation of the new Avatar rule and others might be bug from the system  (theymos still yet to address this issue)

Sorry, it's my bad mistake.
What I wanted to write is previledges to display images, but I don't know why I wrote avatar.
I already corrected my post.

For those cases, I known it well.
In another topic, it is well known that there are several local moderators who can wear avatar, even when they are still newbies.
It's not a bug of forum, at all.. You are wrong!

There you go with statement from theymos

Yes, it's the same as always. Currently there are 3 patrollers and 20 non-patroller local moderators. (I saw someone say elsewhere that all mods have jurisdiction over newbies, but this isn't true.) At some points in the past there have been more patrollers, but that's not necessarily indicative of a shortage.

In addition, one topic for your interest is available:
Theymos, can you solve the mystery? newbie with 2 merit watering avatar?

So what you're trying to tell me is that everybody wearing avatar that are not full member rank above are moderators? I don't think so. I think (correct me if I'm wrong) some users their account were created before the new Avatar rule was implemented can still wear their avatar irrespective of their ranks as in the past all ranks can wear avatar.

The users wearing avatar and their account were created in 2018 which aren't moderators there isn't an official statement on why they can wear those avatar,

So we have two low ranked accounts with avatars which is logically impossible since they both joined after the merit system has been introduced.
Also LoyceV noticed this:

Do you have any idea why your profile says you have 0 posts, and your post history shows 3 posts? It seems to be a glitch in the forum software.

this is why i said it's a bug until we get an explanation why those accounts can wear avatar.

You're still wrong.  The user isn't asking for image in post,  he's asking for profile picture (avatar) therefore he only has one option for now which is to rank up to full memeber.
