Read the op of the thread. It's not meant to be something huge but just a way to essentially whitelist yourself and remove a few restrictions that are vital to some users:
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.
Hopefully some Silver & Gold ranks with better perks will be added in the near future.
The essential thing is to have good specific features for the new S/G ranks, buying a rank without features or with a limited one isn't interesting imo.
Features could be : premium fast reply to pm?, flexibility to change name (studying the request then accept or deny it), new hidden section...etc (just ideas)
I've suggested the ability to change name but I think this should only be available to a premium rank to stop abuse (maybe Platinum level haha). The ability to have a bigger signature would be the biggest draw I think. something like a Full Member sized one for Silver and a Hero sized one for Gold etc.
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.
I did not understand what for to create a special name, a member rank, for those people who are ready to pay for posting pictures? I am not surprised this cooper member rank made many of us confused.
It's just a small perk/reward for donating. I'm sure other ranks will be farm more exciting if they ever come (which I hope they do).
