Topic: Newbies can now pay a small fee to enable images - page 24. (Read 54855 times)

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.)

Why don't you try it and find out? 

This is probably a silly question, but can one be both a Copper Member and a Donator?

Got this message from theymos regarding the issue:


Their rank is already still displayed in addition to the copper member, but if somebody gets scammed purely because of that then it's their own fault and I have no sympathy for them.

I need you to return private message

I think it is pretty obvious that "Copper Member" is still a low rank, unlike VIP or Donator. However, I do agree that this thread should be stickied. I had someone PM me today asking me to post images for an ICO and I just replied telling them about this and they paid for the upgrade.

Post the topic and link me to it (lock it if you prefer).

Edit: try put a title in the subject.

Here it worked, but in preview of a new topic does not appear.

Yes, because you need to link to it directly ending in jpg or png etc

Try this with image tags:
