Topic: Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images - page 22. (Read 54407 times)
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.
Now that hilariousandco changed his custom title to Gold Member, I have a strong urge to become a Copper.
Found an issue with copper status. I can not delete my posts 
Fixed, thanks.
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. There is no option.

Edit:except that copper members can edit their posts.

I am looking forward to becoming a Copper Member. Thanks theymos!
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).

Legendary with only 2 golds. Blazed you have been robbed (by copper member)
Ha. That was too many coins anyways.

nice update theymos, I guess this could be another solution for democratize also the forum.
have you never think about a faucet with captcha code, or any easy task that people could use for pay this fee?
if you think a newbie need at least 30 days to be a junior member! in 30 days of free faucet how he can produce for the forum?

Copper status is for ballers only....
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). I hope to see more ranks with better perks soon.
Yeah, I doubt too many legendary accounts will be buying this rank. It does look pretty funny being legendary and some green trust and having 2 little coins
This seems too.. odd to look at. I thought for a second someone impersonates you without looking at the rank. Just a quick suggestion though, instead of reducing the number of coins to two regardless of rank, why not make the last coin of the member's rank to be, well, copper? Like for example, Hero Members' 5th coin would be colored copper or whatever just to differentiate it from the others. Paying for that cool tag and getting two normal coins doesn't mix up.
But then again, just my two cents. If ever this gets implemented, people would surely get that cool tag too!
EDIT: Oh, John K. needs to update this.

Question: How can I access the settings to wear or not the copper member status without bookmarking the link that theymos gave on the OP?
I understand the joy you can feel here because I could relate with the effort of having to wait for like 6 minutes to respond to a message or send a PM after the last one. If I had the opportunity then, I would have taken it as well. What we can hope for is that its not been abused by people because no matter how innovative an action is, some people will always look for ways to exploit for their own selfish reasons just like the notification via emails that was introduced only for people to use that as a means to lock their account after they must have sold it to someone else.
The people I see benefiting from this and if possible restricted to them is developers who wants to post the announcement threads and start looking for someone to do if for them all over the forum. Aside that, in few months from now, this might not abate any of the clamouring issues we have around here.
