If account sales, merit sales are discouraged; misuse of Copper membership should be discouraged too.
Someone buy a Member account, neg tag
Someone buy 10 merits, neg tag
What if someone buy a Coppermembership, and spam (or higher quality than spam, to avoid bans, but too far from constructive posts) ?
Is this behaviour different than buying account or buying merits?
If CopperMembership created with one of functions to fight against spammers/ farmers with evil IPs, and initially for good developers; it should be used correctly, with supports from managers.
Baronet, you now has same rights as Copper Member. Congratulations!
I wasn't really in favour of copper memberships, but you make a good point. Anything that helps to reduce the sale of accounts is good for the forum in my opinion.
