Whats with the trust fund nationals? Fuckers starting off with an ass load of points and commenting priveleges while the rest of us have to slave in the mines getting points just so we can downvote those cock suckers and comment on their shitty videos?

The question is: do you really deserve a voice? Pray upon it, won't you?
(Old Spike)
Spoken like a true authoritarian loving leftist @Grothesk. Anyone who suffers from 'wrong-think' doesn't deserve a voice, amiright?
(Long Spike)
Sure!
(Long Spike)
lmao what a hypocritical piece of shit! I'm gonna remember this!
(Old Spike)
"Hypocryitical" You keep using this word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
(Old Spike)
Do tell, who have I ever said doesn't deserve a voice?
(Old Spike)
i think the points are carried over, and having a limit stops bot accounts being created to spam.

You're gonna have to accept the fact that they aren't going to change anything. They might be hoping those with minority opinions will just give up. Image you are starting a new RPG and you need to grind out the first few levels, that's what I had to do.
The barrier to reach National was 5000 points, but I received an email this morning, sent yesterday, that has the bar at 10,000 points now. They really don't want photos and videos in the comments apparently; unless you are one of the favored elite of course.

What account name did she choose?
(Old Spike)
Pedotoid Investigations Bureau. When you click on it now you get the classic "Unauthorized" message that often indicates an account has been banned.

OH YES, I can see where that would certainly be worthy of getting him sent to ban land. It's fucking amazing how far down the rabbit hole of frothing at the mouth insanity he went in his attempt to get back at you for whatever it was you wrote. Jesus H. Christ, that girl has some serious issues to deal with.

10000 are you fing me right now ??? holy crap
(Old Spike)
You would think with all the Bernie bro socialist running Spiked, they would be handing out points for free based on "need"? Perhaps a 50% tax on the top 10% of users by point total to be distributed to the plebs.
But alas, we find that they have constructed a Capitalistic type meritocracy as the site's 'economic' system. Hell, they even went so far as to allow users to engage in point transactions with the points they have earned.
It as if @Critical suddently become a fanboy of Ayn Rand? I can just image him reading The Fountainhead while making the new site?
Oh, the irony. LMAO!!!

I don't know how I could be a hyopcrite on this matter. I don't run a website like this. If I ran a website like this with the same rules but then said something negative about you doing the same thing, I would get it. But just throwing the label of "hypocrite" at me absent any real meaningful reference is just vapid.
Hey, you're the site admin. You run it how you want to run in. I'm just along for the ride. I'll make due until my points finally reach the pointlessly high bar you set. It's fine.
As far as Ayn Rand, I think you misread my comment. Of course you hate Ayn Rand, all leftist do, I never claimed otherwise.
I was simply pointing out that as someone who loves Socialist ideals like equality of outcome and taking from the haves and giving to the have-nots; it was oddly funny that you decided upon a completely merit based point system that rewards people for submitting content. Although I haven't quite figured out why you punish people for voting on comments.
As a likely Bernie bro, I have to point out that much like Ayn Rand was a hypocrite in her later years, so is Bernie.

It's gonna be weeks/months before we can put pics/vids in our comments. That's about half of the best content of the site gone right there.
Remind me why I should have to work like a slave just to have the ability to contribute?
(Old Spike)
I could list about 10 things to improve on this site if anyone was interested or wanted to improve things around here.
(Long Spike)
Those points were from testing the new site, I believe.
(Site Administrator)
I'll be moving all the points we had before across when I have the time.
(Long Spike)
I was #12 on the old points list, and have def been around 6+ years. I'd like to be able to contribute pictures and more.
I tried bribing you with a donation of points even. hehe
(Short Spike)
So who's cooler?
A "National" or a "Spiker"
This question matters

So...poor...my avocado toast!!
(Old Spike)
I think if you're a member for 6 months or more you should become a 'short spiker' with full privelages. If your account is wrong you can email mods@spikednation.com to rectify it.
