Cooper member

[Amphenomenon]

I just wanted to know more about the copper members and how to become one.

It helps newbies to avoid some newbie restrictions like inability to post image, you can learn more about it from the first link below.

Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images
To be a copper member: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote

The advantage of having a copper membership is not just for images it also reduces the time limit for posting or PMs and you can also do what member ranks do.

The only thing that you can't able to do with copper member is that wearing an Avatar if you are planning to wear avatar you must reach the full member rank.

Read the "Enhanced newbie restrictions & requirements" so that you know what is newbie and Jr. members rank limit and most of the listed restriction can be lifted after buying a copper membership.

As you have been already directed above how to buy copper memberships by paying a small fees and lifting the restrictions you can check it out to see if it works fine for you.

You are already junior member with 1 merit and can easily post images without any restrictions but if you want to advertise any sort of business on the forum then it's advisable to buy the membership so as to lift the other restrictions and giving more formal sort of impression to the members when they see such account.But rest is your wish that whether you want to have it or not because you are free to post images now with junior rank on your profile.

So as a Legendary member is a copper membership redundant, if not what would it add?

My god, there are only three posts in the topic. Is it really so hard to read?  The very first comment from Charles-Tim answers your question.

I will answer in one word - nothing.

All the features are redundant. The only thing it will add up if you purchase it is the ability to change your title to copper member instead of your regular rank.

Some high rank purchased this title in the past when this was initially introduced for the sake of having the displayed title. But if you are looking for additional features then this is not for you.

Yeah, but you might get some secret perks out of the Cooper Member rank though.

Nothing more than a mental satisfaction that you have paid something that will fund the development of the forum or pay the server costs.

Speaking of which, when is the "Donator" status cost coming down from 50BTC and getting restarted for us plebs?

Why?

So it proves that the Nigerian community is here only for the Bitcoin signature campaign and does not have a clear understanding of how this forum works. It is now evident that a Hero Member got his rank by writing useless stuff, whereas the merits did not stop when he was doing it. He was promoted with merits because he was in sync with the local community. He got himself selected in a signature without even knowing the basics of this forum. This topic shows how stopped this forum merit policy has become with such kind of high-ranking members asking the basic questions.

I believe it is that time of this year when we as a community find individuals who do not understand the forum features. This is why I am going to start a new thread on the reputation board to deliver stupidity at its best.  

Edit: I have added a neutral tag with reasoning. I hope BMs look into it and decide whether to keep him or discard him.

Copper membership's for newbie so they'll get ability to post pics & have copper membership on profile. It doesn't add any thing it's redundant for every other rank.

 LOL
I don't blame you even I was shocked. Check when the thread was created.
The issue came from the legendary member MarkM that revamp the thread.

Isn't calling out to the Nigeria community as a whole for such too much?

[markm]

Yeah someone referenced it in a post in a different section, sorry.

Why should a high ranking member know about all the features of the forum, especially those that are not really important and that he didn't need (average member really has no need for a copper membership).

That kind of thread already exists, Wall of fame / shame. Shit posts so bad that they are actually funny.

Yep, because those 1k+ bitcoins that forum has is hardly enough to keep the forum running.   

[Amphenomenon]

@pakhitheboss, putting all this aside I think you have a personal issue with the Nigerian community, you generally judged me as if you were speaking to all Nigerians in our LB.
Do you know another funny thing is the fact that, I have more merited post from reputable members of the forum than yiu and this is not really coming only from my LB.

To be frank, did you all try to check when this post was made?
I may not be the most knowledgeable about the forum but I will have to say when someone did go through my post especially during those times, they literally would see how well I did try to know about the forum history also.

This topic is turning into a mess. I recommend the author to close the topic.

You should make a practice of locking your threads if you think there's nothing to discuss there anymore especially for a simple question like this to avoid getting bump by a someone and getting spammed, you even got tagged for some reason.

For clarification of @pakhittheboss, the OP was just Full member or even lower when this thread was made check the date of this post.
