Welcome to the forum Discordanian!
The previous site did have a tip jar/donation thing, but with the new site, I'm not sure what the plan on that is. Though you are not suck to one pledge level in perpetuity. You can cancel or change your level at any time. So just jump it up one level for a month then go back down for the next. Though many things are still happening with the site so we'll have to wait and see.
You can't post in any other forum due to how we keep spam posts out of the forum. You had to first prove you were not one of those before you could post in other places. Which you can do now.
Anyway, you may be here to post in the forum or you were confused and thought you needed to be a Full Member to participate in non-forum things. You don't actually. Whichever it was, means you can post in the forum whenever the urge hits you, if you want. Now I will tell you about the strange tradition aimed at newcomers.
At one time there were Pesterers who pestered you for poetry, but that tends to be very rare nowadays. Even though you may not be pestered, if you do go and post an original poem--usually haiku but any (clean) type is accepted--written by you, you will most likely receive a gift in return. The "gift" will most likely be useless or maim you...a little. Whichever it may be, it should be interesting and surprising. Lastly, this strange tradition applies to the pestering not the poetry. You are not required to do anything more to be a member here...unless you want a gift.
Now go forth and do (almost) whatever you want, just don't speculate in Reactions.
