But unlike Bitcoin its not open, transparent nor equal. Bitcointalk is full cronyism that is

It really does not matter what kind of account you hold except for 2 things.

1. Only account with specific status can post links to signature and therefore promote their website.
2. Only old account can alter your Trust rating and therefore completely poison your account.

Users can either trade Merit (send it to each other) or:
Buy old accounts of people who no longer use Bitcointalk and want to sell them.

Let me give you some advice:

Posting dodgy ICO or pump and dump coin ANN
Offering dodgy MLM or Ponzis
Asking for loans without collateral from an untrusted account.
Offering to sell goods without trusted escrow from a untrusted account.
Offering to buy, sell or trade merit.
Offering to buy or sell accounts.
Doing anything else that appears dodgy or fraudulent.

Will result in being tagged with negative default trust.
It is to protect others. It won't stop you from posting.

There are certain groups of people that respect each other. I wouldn't describe it as cronyism. I've had big disagreements on here but that hasn't resulted in being tagged by a DT2. You have to do or suggest doing something scammy to receive that.

You can purchase a copper membership that has the same rights as member status for a small fee: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote It allows you to post links in your signature.

Buying accounts is considered dodgy.
