Hi everyone.
I wanted to create this thread to appreciate Satoshi, first of all, and then every other admin that we had or still have, including @theymos, for making this forum so free and easy for each one of us, the freedom we have here is truly unmatchable, and I will tell you why this thought came to my mind all of a sudden.
So, a few months ago, I started using the other forum, Altcoinstalks, and I've been active there as well. Since I was fairly new, I still am, in that forum, I didn't know much about how things work there, so one day, for some reason, I wanted to delete a post that I made earlier, and I was surprised to see that I could modify the post, but there was no option to delete it. At that time, I thought maybe the post was in a section where we can't remove our own posts, so I let it go. But today, I stumbled upon something that made me create this thread here.
What I discovered was that they have a Shop there, a place where you can buy features and abilities, badges, special ranks, and whatnot. It's good in general if you are allowed to pay some money to get special features or abilities, but what surprised me was that you also have to make donations or buy special ranks for simple things, such as deleting your own posts or threads:
So, apparently, you have to donate or buy the Patrons rank for 0.05 ETH or more to be able to lock your own topics, donate 0.1 ETH or purchase Royalty rank to be able to move your own topics or remove your own replies/posts, and donate 1.1 ETH or more or have Donor rank to be able to delete your own topics/threads.
There is a bunch of other stuff that you can see from the screenshot above, or you can check them all for yourself in the Shop. I only mentioned the ones that made me create this thread to appreciate the freedom we have in this forum, because other than some extra features that are added for lower ranks to be able to perform certain things their ranks don't allow, such as the Copper Membership, we don't have to pay anything to do simple things here.
That being said, this thread is less about discussing the shortcomings of the other forum but more about appreciating the freedom and general abilities we get in this forum for being simple, non-donor users.
