Topic: Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images - page 23. (Read 54407 times)

Exactly, this is a bitcoin forum and only takes in payment via bitcoins.


They don't according to the admin. The decision to remove the ability for newbs to post images was removed due to abuse by a certain individual spamming the forum with pornographic images by bots. This put a stop to that. It might be annoying for newbies and is a shame it happened but you only have to wait to become a Junior Member which isn't long (or just pay the fee if you can't or don't want to wait).

Though newbies are new in bitcoin but they are also a user of bitcoin. As a user of bitcoin like other high level user they have a right to use image. By paying a small fee to enable their images is a divided system may be.

The forum is unlikely to start accepting alt coins. Bitcoin will be the only option unless there's a real interesting project coming up but theymos has never really indicated he supports the alt coin market. You could always send a very small transaction fee and get it accelerated by a pool you might have to wait a little longer than usual but it could work that way.

You need to "wear" it, at the same URL where you paid.

I am upgraded to Copper member, but still cant post an image

How will the forum have any bearing on that decision? What or if at all campaigns or bounties decide to pay for it is entirely up to them but they will probably still go by whatever your existing rank is unless they state othetwise.

To what rank will the Cooper Member be equated if you participate in the Bounty?

I hope there is an alternative payment like ETH payment because transaction fee in bitcoin is much higher than the amount you need to pay.

You just need to be a Jr. Member or above as only Newbie accounts are restricted from posting images. As the member levels are based on time and posts it takes a minimum of 30 posts in 3 activity periods of 14 days each to reach Jr. Member level.

What are the standard requirements for posting images? Number of posts or account age?

Thanks for this great explanation sir, now we know.

Small fees but newbies still have to pay for the fees transaction, it's quite high for now. And this feature was made by theymos to prevent newbies spamming. So i think it's not worked. It's not about the money too.

It's not linked anywhere else right now, so you just have to bookmark it or remember to search for it.

Go to the previous page and read theymos post.

It is an alternative but a risky one since you can get scammed or get a negative trust from a default trust member.

what happen when account rank increase to Jr member will have same copper member or will be end

can high rank pay to be Copper Membership???

how if a newbie decides to buy a member account instead of pay a small fee? how can you resolve it?

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?

This is great because will help people that want to advertise their new companies and projects. Will facilitated and take out the middle man. Usually, some people buy jr account to do that. And it is easy to see that there is a lot of newbie account just spaming for being able to post images.

FYI: 11 users paid for Copper Membership so far, which is more than I expected. I'm happy that the feature is being used.

Also, someone asked me about this in a PM: I named it Copper Membership because if I create other memberships, it'd make a nice theme to name them all after precious metals. Although copper is not traditionally a precious metal, it is today commonly found in bullion form, along with silver, gold, platinum, and palladium. I like that this theme feels very distinct from the Newbie -> Legendary scale so that it doesn't seem like you can just pay to get what others have spent years on. And to me while "Copper Member" doesn't sound bad, it also doesn't sound too prestigious, which it shouldn't, since it's pretty easy to get.

The issue with previewing is fixed now.


Short answer: Yes, mostly.

Long answer: Each forum user belongs to several groups in three categories: one primary group, one post group, and any number of additional groups. Your group membership looks like this:
Primary group: Donator
Post group: Legendary
Additional groups: (none)

A typical newbie's membership looks like this:
Primary group: Regular member
Post group: Newbie
Additional groups: (none)

By paying the fee and then visiting the paid-promotion page, you get the Copper Member and Whitelisted groups added to your additional groups section. (The Whitelisted group is what gives the reduction in time-between-posts.) So the two examples above become:
Raize
Primary group: Donator
Post group: Legendary
Additional groups: Copper Member, Whitelisted
Example newbie
Primary group: Regular member
Post group: Newbie
Additional groups: Copper Member, Whitelisted

Once you're in the Copper Member group, the promotion page gives you the option of "wearing" that membership. I posted a screenshot of this before. Once the example newbie does this, their group membership looks like this:
Primary group: Copper Member
Post group: Newbie
Additional groups: Whitelisted

(And using the same form, you can revert to the previous state.)

However, if your primary group is manually granted, such as Staff or Donator, then you will get an error when you try to do the above operation. It's not allowed to go from a manually-granted primary group to an automatically-granted primary group automatically. If for some reason someone wanted to wear Copper Member instead of Donator or whatever, they could contact an admin and we would probably do it. But it would be purely be an aesthetic thing: any additional privileges a non-newbie would get (I think there are none) are granted just by having the group in your additional groups. (Newbies need to have Copper Member as their primary group to escape the image restrictions, though. That only looks at your primary group and post group.)
