I am not sure if this is a glitch with the new system or not, but I was just given an error stating I needed to be a Silver or gold member to upload scans. The specificity of the error message suggests this was not a glitch. I thought your intent was to grow your database of comics and data. Why does it matter the member rank if we are contributing? I have contributed scans in the past under the old system and never gotten this error.

according to the FAQs page: https://comicspriceguide.com/faqs
"If you see an issue without a scan, click on that issue number. You will see a link to upload a scan. Once you upload it and it is approved, you will be able to see your contribution. CPG keeps track of how many scans each member uploads. If you wish to upload personal scans of your issues, you may do so in your collection management. Select the book you wish to upload a cover for, and click the "Upload Cover Scan" icon. This feature is available for silver and gold members only at this time."
so according to that, the system is correct. so if you want to lobby for a change, your post should go on the CPG Q&A board: https://comicspriceguide.com/forum/topics.aspx?ForumID=14 , but CPG may or may not reply. They probably changed things to avoid spamming or other 'problem' scans being uploaded by trolls etc with free accounts. Paid accounts have more validity and identification for CPG to police, and an 'investment' by the user, making is less likely to mess with the site. May be other reasons too. Can't have everything...
