You want to charge people to rank up? That's building the system around signature campaigns. That's not how the forum should be controlled, is it?
It's not. however the majority of forum members think of this forum as Bitcoin and think of Bitcoin as an online post for money program. they think this forum is here to fix their problems by giving them a chance to join bounty campaigns with multiple accounts and earn money. they think that we should let them spam because bounty campaigns are paying them and think that we are trying to stop them to keep the campaigns for ourselves.
There are numerous fake accounts which are created on Facebook everyday and no one was like "Hey, let's add this fee system"
You don't get paid by posting your status, here you could get paid for posting your one status from multiple accounts and get paid.
Many people will lose interest if the fee system is implemented
You could post for free as many as you want, you just don't get a post count increasing if this is implemented. just make it impossible for bots to count member's posts.
if the admin notices a problem within this forum, he definitely will take an action.
I'm trying to have their attentions, admin said this forum is not a welfare system, he doesn't know that people think it is a welfare system.
One of the global moderators suggested to charge $500 to have a signature. that is too much I believe, but charging $0.5 per post would be fair to post and rank up, or pay nothing and keep posting for free without ranking up and without seeing any post count increasing.
