hi,

could newbie can pay too to recover their old account, i was away for a while and when i try to reconnect my account was suspended, i try to contact admin many time, i can prove i own the old account, but nobody answer me,
i will be happy to pay to recover it

can be a future option?

thanks

If you can prove the account is yours I can unlock it for free. I can't restore or reset passwords though. I did suggest a while back that admins could charge some sort of fee to restore accounts though.

yes i can but you are not and admin ?
how can i do that, in mp?

Theymos, is there an updated number of how many people have purchased it so far?

45
Search by position: "Copper Member"

I really don't get the point of this rank but it doesn't bother me enough to rant about it. Wink

Ah thanks. Didn't think of that.

It's basically just a rank to automatically whitelist you and enable you to post images (which can be vital for some users).

Theymos has mentioned he may or may not add new levels in the op of this very thread. There is nothing that I know of currently being planned but it is something I have been pushing for for quite some time because it will put a huge dent in the market for forum accounts if you can essentially just buy the privileges from us instead.

Thanks. I did read the OP it was just when I saw that under your name I initially thought that meant there had been some progress. I do hope it does happen as I agree with you that it would put a cap on account prices, even if not completely stamping out account farming, it's got to make some improvement.

I just did it as a bit of a joke because I knew it would pique people's interest and get them excited (or worried if you're an account farmer). My original suggestion was actually to remove signatures from ranks/activity entirely and the only way to get one would be to donate for one which would then put a stop to account farming almost 100% because it would be utterly pointless to do so. I'm not sure if theymos would be willing to remove them completely but having them alongside ranks should have no issues and will help drastically reduce the demand for accounts.

What are you talking about custom title? I paid someone called theymo5_Admin_Legendary Member one bitcoin for this rank.

Does this mean it is being worked on and going to happen?

(or is it just something you always wanted Wink

)

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:

So that is why I have seen a newbie, that can post pictures and with two coins under his username and is classified as Copper Member! But I'm just afraid that some newbies may used it to manage campaigns and use their additional features to scam people around bitcointalk. Am I right? or I'm just overthinking? But it's alright, I won't join newbies/Copper member campaigns after all! Grin

If somebody gets scammed for the mere fact they have 'copper member' under their name then it's their own fault.

This is actually pretty cool. I'm sure it will be handy for new projects that are just trying to post their OP and have created a new account. Great idea. It shows that the forum is still innovative.

Haha. You only have two coins under your name now instead of the five for legendary. I think those coins should stick to being associated with ranks really to avoid confusion and they certainly shouldn't downgrade your coin rankings (though maybe theymos overlooked anyone other than newbies purchasing this).

Yeah, I didn't really expect any non-newbies to buy it. I changed it to use the coin images for your post group.

Nice work...I can now delete my posts as copper.

I fear that, scammers will be benefited with this new liberty. Newbies might misuse it to run the scam, admin should keep regular check on these accounts and if there are any suspicious activities found, then this feature should be revoked.

How is posting an image going to encourage scams in any way? Images are disabled for those annoying memes and stuff that newbies tend to post on other forums. If they do that then they will get banned pretty quickly and just wasted a little bit of money doing so.

There is no option.

Once I remove copper status i can delete stuff...

So basically being a copper member means you have a hidden scammer tag.

Edit:except that copper members can edit their posts.

Welcome to the cool kids club.

Thanks!

It would be great to see another member level where I can pay to have an avatar.

This is actually one of the suggestions I made as a perk for a higher level donator rank. Maybe it could come with the Silver rank and then something even tastier for Gold (image banner in signature etc).
