« on: August 21, 2020, 04:51:23 AM »i have spend time on these 2 forums, and i think there are many differences now between these 2.
ALTtalks is easier to rank up than BTCtalks, its so much better for newbies... so i think in the long run, ALTtalks can do better. its really not easy to get merits. + i have to pay to be a copper member in BTCtalks, what kind of rule is that? and copper member still have many restrictions too... i paid and still get restrictions?? its really not fair for us.
however, this does not mean i hate BTCtalk, i still love both forums
Copper Members are meant to have a certain benefits which doesn't mean you'll the benefits of a higher rank. Copper Member is absurdly cheap compare to a Full member rank so it's a fair trade. They have given you a statement from which you can choose to buy it or not based on the benefits they will give.
Though I really agree that the merit system in Bitcointalk is absurdly broken. They don't reward merit to constructive post no matter what you do. They only reward it to those who does guides and how to's which defeats the purpose of ranking up since in reality, newbies won't even bother making a guide as they are newbie themselves. Even Veterans won't since there's already a lot of guides out there. They are also meriting someone that they favor and tag users that they don't like.
Overall, Bitcointalk is controlled by some greedy men.
