You are automatically whitelisted if you buy a
copper membership. You don't need to wear the copper membership, just own it. You can also be whitelisted for free by any staff member and a few non-staff ~
A whitelisted user can send more PMs, and has a much smaller delay in between posts.
But: that only lasts until the user ranks up! When a user reaches the next rank, he's down to the above list without whitelisting. Users can only be whitelisted once, so it can't be fixed anymore.
I don't know if Copper members also lose their whitelist-privileges when they rank up.
I guess most of this is custom code, but it kinda is a bug that needs patching.
