at some point, during registration, the user is required to pay a certain fee so that his IP is whitelisted.
But if it is really a new user, who does not know any established members from the forum, how he will be informed about this possibility? sending an email to a specific address (indicated in this topic) may allow adding to the whitelist.

Every new user receives a welcome pop-up message referring them to this thread (correct me if I'm wrong). I can't find the link, but it has been addressed before.

I mean, aren't too many preconditions expected for a beginner to join on this forum? it is required to either own some bitcoin or to know someone reputed from forum, or even to know about this thread.

I believe the whitelisted threads were made for this reason, for those who want to join and have clear intents but don't have bitcoin to pay for evil IP or don't know any reputable forum members.

Hey everyone, my friend's account has been proxy banned upon creation. His username is joro-metaversa and if his IP was used for abuse in the past, he had nothing to do with it. Thanks in advance for looking into it.

Sorry, you're not an established member, so you don't qualify to vouch for someone:

2. Get someone to vouch for you
If an established member knows you personally, they can post your username in this topic for whitelisting. I won't accept vouches from for instance a bounty hunter with 1000 Activity and 0 earned Merit.

Your username isn't helping either: you wouldn't join a Lamborghini forum with username LamborghiniSucks, right?

I feel like I'm Bitcointalk's helpdesk now: so many people assume it's my site. It's not!
People ask help in paying small amounts of Bitcoin, or ask if I (yes "I") accept altcoins. I usually suggest FixedFloat.com to exchange small amounts of altcoin to Bitcoin at a low fee, but just in case: Do Your Own Research before trusting any site.
I also recommend using your own Bitcoin wallet (such as Electrum) instead of exchanges with very high withdrawal fees, especially the sneaky ones like Binance who try to convince people to accept their own made-up tokens instead of real Bitcoin. And again: do your own research, and make sure you don't download malware.

Someone even called me stupid for doing this for free. He kinda has a point Tongue

Instant Disclaimer: I don't accept payments for whitelisting.

IP racism and discrimination is my new favourite!

Bumping with another great attempt: someone sent me someone else's plagiarized post with a request to whitelist him. Spammers are creative Cheesy

What's more common in your experience, users not including a username at all or sending you the wrong one?

Usually they forget their username. I included it in the OP, because I can imagine they might think I can search their email address, but that option is disabled on the forum.

I had to laugh when I read that reply of yours. I mean how hard can it be to copy and paste a username correctly in order to request being whitelisted by someone?! What's more common in your experience, users not including a username at all or sending you the wrong one?

I've sent several people a reply similar to this:

I wanted to whitelist you, but the username you gave doesn't exist. I love how people rage at me for failing the simplest test.

For the record: I don't earn anything from whitelisting users, nor from evil fees, I do this because I feel the "units of evil" also block Newbies who don't deserve it.

Who knows, maybe posting it here helps Wink

This is by far the best email I've received:

It's a scam, and you're a con man. You have a system that allows
people's IPs to be copied. Who told you that after people paid, the spam
thing would stop, If real spammer?

This is my new favourite email:

This whitelist is a scam, paying bitcoin to enable a legitimate conversation concerning a bitcoin wallet is a scam. You think I need to bend to your rules to survive? Your whole scenario is a scam, go fuck yourself. Don't need your help.

The funny thing is, I would have whitelisted him if only he would have mentioned his username.

Please add this account to the whitelist. This is a corporate account project 16bit.game

Sorry, I'm not comfortable accepting a vouch from someone with negative feedback for account trading. For corporate accounts, I recommend getting a Copper Memberschip.

When I tried to add a user to my whitelist, I got this error. " An Error Has Occurred!
Already whitelisted"
is this a new update or is it the first time I notice it?

I've seen it (when I wasn't sure if I whitelisted the user already). I guess someone emailed more than one person.

all that's left is for me is to be able to see the members I've added to the whitelist.

You'll have to keep track by yourself.

When I tried to add a user to my whitelist, I got this error. " An Error Has Occurred!
Already whitelisted"
is this a new update or is it the first time I notice it? I've never whitelisted someone twice or gotten this error.

Overall, if that's true, all that's left is for me is to be able to see the members I've added to the whitelist.

Does it mean that if Bob abused the IPs of area A and then Alice signed up at the same area where Bob abused IPs and then paid the evil fees or got whitelisted, the region or area A is now free of the evil fees, and everyone who signs up after her can access the forum without paying?

No, paying the evil fees only clears the account, not the IP.

Lol, It sounds hilarious, but it's not actually humorous, and I believe the portion I bolded contains a grain of truth.
