Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images

You are automatically whitelisted if you buy a copper membership. You don't need to wear the copper membership, just own it. You can also be whitelisted for free by any staff member and a few non-staff, but we're going to need some reason to think that you actually deserve it. Do not ask me for free whitelisting.

Whitelisting is a not a license to spam. You will be immediately banned if you're found spamming, even if you bought a copper membership (and you will not be refunded).

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. 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.)
- 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.

If you paid an "evil IP" registration fee, then whatever you paid (in BTC terms) is subtracted from the upgrade fee. If you paid a registration fee a long time ago, you might even get a free Copper Membership due to the increase in BTC price. Just visit the link at the bottom of this post to check whether you have it already.

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.

I wrote the system so that I can easily add additional paid memberships in the future, but I might not ever do so. Not sure.

It was an honor for me to actually get such a cheap subscription at all.

Thank you theymos for this offer. And that's well in times when actually paying stuff in BTC hurts a lot because of the transaction fees.

It's a honor to me and i hope this forum will exist for a long time.

Oh and have nice holydays all people out there.

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.

seems mostly interesting for people wanting to announce an ICO

I'm Cooper Member, but I don't like to have two member statuses in the profile

Then turn the Copper Membership off in your profile, though there's no way to hide the fact that you're a Newbie if that's what you want to do.

Start a referral program and I'll get you dozens of premium membership buyers.

If I turn off I can't edit my signature as I want, I prefer two like now

It's really helpful.
Just send and waiting for confirmation.
We're going to make an announcement and this is really good for us instead of buying some random account.
I would suggest having some other programs to lift signature limit too.

I have sent the fund for paying "Member Copper", but i still got nothing. Would you check that for me?


Thanks.

Problem is solved.

Thanks.

[JainaVsUther]

Could you please consider any other currency than bitcoin? The fees to send are more expensive than the membership itself.

[COTInetwork]

I guess people have been waiting for this for a good while now. Great to see it finally arrived!

just found out about this, doesnt this kinda completely defeat the purpose of having these restrictions. They are there to stop scammers/spammers , many wiil happily pas small fee.!!?

Hi,

I have a question regarding the Cooper membership and the following line:

"These memberships are not guaranteed to last forever, or to offer the same benefits forever."

In the coming weeks I would like to share a project with the community in the "Tokens (Altcoins)" section, as far as I understand, in order to post images I need to have 30 activities or the Cooper membership. But the above statement is kinda confusing, so after I pay for Cooper I can loose the benefits of posting images? 

Thanks.

Scammers could buy a junior member for the same price tho or create multiple bot that will be farmed for a specific period before it starts the predefined scammy activity...
Scammers tend to grab as much cents as they could, i doubt they will bother paying in order to have less restrictions

[choisunam]

I think this will greatly reduce spam and the real project people can get their images up!

I think it's not likely that theymos will remove Copper Membership. It become quite popular and also gives some additional money to forum. It's beneficial both to forum and users, so there are no reasons to remove it.

[hilariousetc]

No. Even if Copper Membership was removed at some point you will be a Jnr Member after 30 activity so you'd then still be able to post images. Theymos has likely just included this stipulation merely as a precaution if the rank is removed for whatever reason at some point in the future (or perks are changed) but it's unlikely to be done so in my opinion, but obviously nothing is guaranteed in the small print.
