Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images

Read the op of the thread. It's not meant to be something huge but just a way to essentially whitelist yourself and remove a few restrictions that are vital to some users:

I am aware that for most people the benefits of this membership are pretty lame. This membership is only intended to fill a specific niche; if you don't need it, don't buy it. It is not intended to be the lower-cost Donator/VIP alternative which I've talked about before as a possibility.

Hopefully some Silver & Gold ranks with better perks will be added in the near future.

The essential thing is to have good / specific features for the new S/G ranks, buying a rank without features or with a limited one isn't interesting imo.
Features could be : premium fast reply to pm?, flexibility to change name (studying the request then accept or deny it), new hidden section...etc (just ideas)

By popular demand, newbies can now pay to have some of their restrictions lifted. If you pay the fee, you become a Copper Member, and you can post images.

I did not understand what for to create a special name, a member rank, for those people who are ready to pay for posting pictures? I am not surprised this cooper member rank made many of us confused.

I've suggested the ability to change name but I think this should only be available to a premium rank to stop abuse (maybe Platinum level haha). The ability to have a bigger signature would be the biggest draw I think. something like a Full Member sized one for Silver and a Hero sized one for Gold etc.

It's just a small perk/reward for donating. I'm sure other ranks will be farm more exciting if they ever come (which I hope they do).

Why pay when you can ask or pay higher ranks to post your images?

[nessesthelle]

What a Relief! Great Idea!

[nessesthelle]

Why pay when you can ask or pay higher ranks to post your images?

Because they can change anything in that post. For example if you post an announcement they can replace the link to your website.

[illiki23]

Yeah, it would be nice to have features that everyone can appreciate including the higher ranks.
Might join just to help out the forum, but the perks are not that enticing.

A simple to implement one would be to just add x lines to the signature.

That way you would bump up a rank's worth by being a paying member.  The largest possible signatures would be the Platinum Hero (because of course we change the title based on rank) or whatever.

[John_Slater]

 I believe this will slightly reduce spam
No idea why else it's being implemented

[Kozlov]

This sounds pretty lame to be honest, I don’t know why anybody would want to pay to be a Copper Member. It even sounds ahitty.

I can imagine it's worthwhile for some who wish  to advertise.

[Layla99]

Well this explains a lot

 So as someone who spends most of my time sending pm to individual accts on a scam thread to notify them of the scam within, when an op repeatedly deletes my scam warning comment, this seem to hinder my ability. for example.

 Am currently dealing with the lineage scam thread and they are constantly deleting my scam warning and those pm i send to the individual accounts is usually met with gratitude for notifying them and helping them avoid been scam. Now am only allowed to send 20 pms an hr and this scam group. pumps out scam thread like crazy. List of their several attempt that i have exposed https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2386727.msg24385320#msg24385320 

 I have tried getting the admin involved and they said there is nothing they could do about it,  then i decide to take matters in my own hand and am now been hindered by this new development. I know it's just 30 bucks but it makes no sense that as a full member there is also limitation placed on my pm.

Copper Members currently have these bonuses:

- Some of the same permissions as Member-rank members, such as reduced signature styling restrictions. (But none of the PM-related restrictions are currently lifted, such as the style limit or per-hour PM limit.)
- Your "you must wait ____ seconds between ___" counter is reduced by 75%. So if you're naturally of Newbie rank, you only have to wait 360-75% = 90 seconds.

Copper membership is great, Only questions, are we suppose to have a less restrictive signature? Currently we can only type text for our sig. No links, or , styling or anything...

According to the OP that you quoted:

- Some of the same permissions as Member-rank members, such as reduced signature styling restrictions.

So you should be able to use links and styling plus have a larger signature.

[LoyceV]

You have exceeded the limit of 30 personal messages per day. Buying a Copper membership may increase your limit.

That came up. But never sent 30 messages😂

How many PMs can a Newbie send now? I found different numbers:
Newbies - Read before posting: Newbies can send 5 PMs per hour
Newbie eula: 2 PMs per day.

- Your "you must wait ____ seconds between ___" counter is reduced by 75%. So if you're naturally of Newbie rank, you only have to wait 360-75% = 90 seconds.

Does a Copper Membership also reduce the waiting time between PMs?

PM limits was updated by theymos week ago and ir can be found here:

Max number of PM's was reduced to PM spam from newbie accounts.

[theymos]

I fixed the *Link removed* thing (which is only triggered if you have less than 10 posts). You have to be wearing your copper membership when you set your signature for the links to not be removed.

Pay 0.00223178 BTC just allow post image, right?

No. Read the op:

That's the main point of this: allowing newbies to post images. Additionally (and these might change depending on how things go), Copper Members currently have these bonuses:

- Some of the same permissions as Member-rank members, such as reduced signature styling restrictions. (But none of the PM-related restrictions are currently lifted, such as the style limit or per-hour PM limit.)

Pls share me produce to pay?
