If someone has yet to be upgraded, being upgraded sounds really cool. Before I was upgraded on other sites I was thinking it sounded really cool and truthfully I was a bit more active.
I wouldn't really say it's quite a "bs" reason on trying to be upgraded, but we all are entitled to our own opinions.
I do understand your point of view, just don't think it's true for all members.

I totally understand. And yeah this is all just my opinion, im not speaking for anybody else but myself. I think it is somewhat "bs" with that being the posters only reason for saying they deserve it. And I agree with you about people thinking its cool and what not. One of the main things on this site, is changing names, but in my point of view many members will give you atleast somewhat more respect when they see youre a gold member.

The last part of this is pretty true for anywhere you go, I don't really understand it. Never have, never will. On other sites I know members that are more trust worthy and HQ that aren't upgraded, that surely outdo those that are.
Respect should be given to all members no matter whether or not they're upgraded, just my thought haha. Any community I've ever gone to you see members upgraded get more respect than others that are not, and once your upgraded, you get a bit more swarmed.
Upgrades are viewed more highly then what I think they should be, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they aren't worth it, but people surely seem like they'd give an arm and a leg for it.
Things I'll never understand, haha.

I couldn't agree more with what you just said

I don't mind some people doing it if they have no way to get gold if they are to young or don't get a income to buy there own, I don't like members what have just signed up and exspect it i think they need to prove they deserve the gift of gold.

Like i have said in many post's before all members are equal and all deserve a chance to be a gold member but to be gifted you just need to prove to the community you deserve it by helping around being active and show that you want it and is going to use it to help people and not use it just so they can "Get known" as people say only as your name stand's out more then a non-gold member.

How do you feel more respected with gold than without gold, because to me that makes absolutely no sense at all... Being a gold member doesn't make you above anybody on this site so you shouldn't feel respected by it just cause you have it.

Im never going to buy gold because its just like buying a camo in cod. but i will buy it once in the future to change my name. Also people just make up absolute BS in the post just for gold

I agree with you, but also some non-gold newer members act like the gold members are almost a "God" on this site.
