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.
Even if they buy Copper Membership, that doesn't give them the immunity to be negative tagged for spamming the forum. They will be treated the same like others who already ranked up without paying Copper Membership. Just like what LoyceV said, report to moderator if you found something that you think is a spam post.
