Copper membership is considered as a member level also. They share the same previlage so most probably those with copper memberships will be welcomed. Is the one who manages this youtube review campaign Hhampuz? I've read it somewhere that copper membership are allowed and eligible.
Copper membership and member rank are not the same. With the Copper membership, user can have some rights to post images, time limits between two posts as same as member rank. Although, there are some privileges, they are different member rank and in campaigns, bounties each manager will allow a newbie with the copper membership has a same right as of Member rank or not allow. It depends on each manager.
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:
- Some of the same permissions as Member-rank members, such as reduced signature styling restrictions. (But none of the PM-related restrictions are currently lifted, such as the style limit or per-hour PM limit.)
- Your "you must wait ____ seconds between ___" counter is reduced by 75%. So if you're naturally of Newbie rank, you only have to wait 360-75% = 90 seconds.
If you paid an "evil IP" registration fee, then whatever you paid (in BTC terms) is subtracted from the upgrade fee. If you paid a registration fee a long time ago, you might even get a free Copper Membership due to the increase in BTC price. Just visit the link at the bottom of this post to check whether you have it already.
I am aware that for most people the benefits of this membership are pretty lame. This membership is only intended to fill a specific niche; if you don't need it, don't buy it. It is not intended to be the lower-cost Donator/VIP alternative which I've talked about before as a possibility.
I wrote the system so that I can easily add additional paid memberships in the future, but I might not ever do so. Not sure.
