What are you waiting for?
For those unable to view this is straight from Scrapper's Blog, word for word ...
Over the last few months we have added several new special ability bling. Many of you have come to the conclusion that Special Ability bling is guaranteed to deliver an exact amount of points. This is false assumption. Bling, Special Ability Bling and fubucks and fubar is for fun. You can't buy points, levels or status. You run special ability bling because it gives you an advantage to make more points. If the site hiccups or slows down or you can't log in, we will not credit you with reimbursement bling. Whenever there has been a problem, we double points or give you unlimited 11's, etc. Many of you end up with three times the amount of points when something happens due to the bonuses we give.
1. Bling credits do not vanish unless you spend them. We track every transaction. MOst of the time either the user is confused or they are looking at an old page. Somtimes this is because your browser cache needs to be cleaned or it could be our servers mem cache catching up.
2. If you lose friends, family or the ability to log into your account, it is usually a mem cache server that overloaded. On your end you will think you lost everything. In reality, it's all there, it just will take 24 hours to settle.
3. If you made a transaction and did not receive the credits, please send me the receipt. This sometimes happens and can easily be tracked.
4. If you are coming to be me everytime the site hiccups and expecting me to credit you, do not be upset when I tell you to read this blog. If you do not think we are fair or the SA bling is worth it, then don't purchase it. There are many people who see the value and appreciate our generosity when REALITY strikes.
5. If you have been runniing God Mode bling and are claiming it ended early. Check your points. Most likely you got your points or more than you would have if the site had not hiccupped. One guy came to crying and he had pullled 80 million points. My answer to him was, I should be taking your points back. What people do not realize, is that sometimes when fubar farts....it works to your advantage.
This is FACT! Please realize we will look at your claim, but if you do not hear back, it means you have forgotten about the extra points and other things we do when shit goes bootsy! Please be respectful when emailing me your issues. I will not respond to defamatory or straight up nastygrams. Please read this a few times. Blig is for fun!!!!! There are no guarantees in life.

From me,
a little RESPECT goes a LONG way and makes EVERYONE less frustrated.... just sayin

NEW UPDATE!
If you were part of the people who were running God Mode we are gratuitiously giving you some points.
Anyone that had a god mode bling deactivate between 1:30PM PST...if they ended at 2M points, they'll end up at 7M points. if they ended with 8M points, they'll end up with 10M points, etc.....
If you were part of the lucky few who helped us test out God Mode Bling, you are probably asking yourself why did my God Mode bling expire early. It actually did not sxpire early, we are finally out of our testing mode and it is now truly LIVE on the site. The God Mode bling has surpassed our special ability bling expectations. It is a very powerful weapon in your arsenal on fubar. We thank you for helping us beta test the God Mode bling. Consider yourself lucky to have had the chance to to that so few will ever have in the future. Please read the following blog. If you are angry or feel slighted, we just want to thank you for helping us develop another great feature. Our terms of service is clear about this.

God Mode is very simple. Please read the description
****God Mode Bling expires in 24 hours******
1. Some of you are expiring in less than 24 hours. This is because you maxed your 10 million points.
2. God Bling will not expire early. It is a very simple bling that fubarbarians are confused about.
3. If you are locking down your albums thinking you are getting one over on everyone. You are not. I am not going to explain why. Just knwo you are not.
4. If you are coming to support asking why your God Bling is expired. YOU REACHED YOUR 10 MILLION POINTS! Please do not use the excuse that you did not get it or got ripped off. Bling is for fun!
5. There are no refunds for bling. There are 101 and more ways to use bling. If God Mode is not working out for you, then please try something else. I am sure many will attest. God Mode does work.

Why is a salute important?
I could write a novel but I will be blunt....his is the internet and people lie about who they say they are. I have been fooled many times and so have you. It fucking sucks when you find out the person you thought was coo and real l is a fraud. Early on we developed the salute process for this reason. Yes...it's goofy to take a photo of yourself with a piece of paper....BUT this is fubar. On fubar your salute is your ID. The more CLEAR and SIMPLE you make your salute photo the higher the probability of it being accepted. Bogus salutes slip by us daily. I have seen some go unoticed for 2 years and then judgement day comes. Someone calls out the salute and the birds flock to check it out. There are dozens of forensic salute specialists on this site. If three of them call bullshit, we will unnaprove and request a new salute.I do not care how long you have had the salute up. If we ask you to submit new salutes, then please do it. So why am I writing yet another scrapper fillabuster? At the request of my bouncers, I am going to make this crystal clear. If it looks suspect, you will be audited and asked to submit a new salute. SIMPLE!
Follow these tips!
1. CLEAR photo! No grainy ass bootsy webcams.
2. Add your USER ID #, Screen Name and fubar! HAND WRITE IT!!!!!!!! Do it on lined paper if you really want to nail a solid salute.
3. DO NOT MANIPULATE IN PHOTOSHOP! NO Black and white, NO strange photo shop wizardry. NO NSFW, do i have to go on???
4. Hold the paper with two hands and smile for the camera. Don't cut off arms, hands etc. Don't crop it.
5. Save your creative fonts, crayons and other photo effects for your albums. DO NOT use it on your salutes.
6. Shoot a few photos and submit them. This way it is CRYSTAL clear you are not trying to fudge the system.
7. No animated gif salutes. No video salutes. KEEP IT SIMPLE!
In the five years I have been doing this, I have collected a grip of fake salutes. Check my photo albums for the hall of shame. You do not want to be there. If you do not wish to post a salute, you do not have to do so. It is not mandatory.....however, there are many of us that have an understading that at some point you need a salute to legitimize yourself. You don't walk into a bar for two years with a bag on your head or in a halloween costume.....so why do it here.
If you are called out for having fake salutes and they are indeed legit. You can simply jump on videochat and face palm my bouncers or me by showing your cute little face. Fake people will make excuses. Real people will step up to the occassion. I hate that all this is so obvious, yet some of you make an art out of trying to game us. Don't be butthurt when you get pimp slapped. All frauds and fakes deserve it.
MAKE A ROCK SOLID SALUTE AND THE DRAMA WILL STOP! I do not care if you are going blind, parapalegic, deaf or even babyjesus. If you are asked to to make salutes....simply just do it. There is no point in arguing. Oh yea....if you are claiming you have no camera. Ask one of your 2000 friends on fubar to come take a photo of you.
Werd!
Making a salute is an easy process. You can get creative, but make sure you have one rock solid, clear salute first.

Greetings Fubarbarians!
I hate having to be the one to call out the obvious, but many of you are posting up porn in your skins or on your profile. I am not sure when, where or why this is happening.
Our NSFW policy is not meant to piss anyone off. We allow you to do whatever you want in your photo albums as long as it is properly marked. I do not want to have debates on what you think is NSFW. I really don't care as it is NOT PERSONAL! This is a site for everyone. We do not want to have to babysit you or slap your hand because you want to have a bunch of naked people on your page for whatever reason.
Our policy is very easy to follow. If it is something you wouuld see in Maxim, it will most likely fly here. If it is something you would see in playboy, then it wont. Yes there is some grey area in between. If you are riding the line of NSFW, then it should be marked. Please do not waste our time on this.
Bouncers are not here to play god fighting your NSFW photo marks. Sometimes photos get marked so many times that it is just better to keep the photo marked. I am not sure why many of you get so steamed up over this. We do not want to be forced to look at nasty shit on your page. Please keep your junk in your albums properly marked. If you are abusing our skins policy, remove them and help us keep the public areas clean.
If your photos are getting marked as NSFW and you keep bugging our bouncers to unmark, then you should probably use a different photo. I realize there are some photos that often get marked that shouldn't, but this site was NEVER made so we could waste our time fighting you on your skin photos.
If you feel a bouncer is picking on you and playing favorites, please send me a link to the photo. I do not want to see every photo of yours. Please do not email unless the photo has been marked repeatedly.
Be cool and help keep fubar fun.
