So, a few months ago, I started using the other forum,
AltcoinstalksWhat I discovered was that they have a
Shop there, a place where you can buy features and abilities, badges, special ranks, and whatnot.
Bitcoin forum (Bitcointalk.org) no longer needs donations.
Bitcoin forum is not a shop to purchase skins for accounts.
Bitcoin forum is much better than Altcoinstalks forum and it does not need to immitate policies used on Altcoinstalks forum.
If you want to rank up, make good posts, contribute to forum community and achieve higher ranks. In addition, you will also achieve reputation and even get appointment as a merit source or forum moderator. Let's do it gradually over time, and achieve those things naturally.
