1- Copper membership. (already good, you can post pics)
2- Silver membership. (can add a longer signature)
3- Gold membership. (can add an avatar and longer signature)
You can even put high prices, these account farmers won't have enough to pay for this. This would render account sellers useless as anyone could just buy a gold membership. You can even keep the merit system how it is or make it even harder by raising the requirements, just give newcomers a chance to have an avatar even if we have to pay for it. For gods sake i want my pet bird as my avatar lol 🐦. I am a business man, crypto investor, c++ developer and a family man and won't nor have the time to level up my account per say. So if I stay as a newbie so be it, I don't mind. At least I can add my twitter account to signature.
