How did you get 17,000 HN points?

Did look something like this: https://serendipitygreece.com/wp-content/uploads/comforting-...

To me, this is the problem with seeking validation through these systems. You are rewarded for saying pleasing things and for conforming to group think.

Why don't you spend down your points by playing devil's advocate? Then, when you run low on points, you can fill-up-the-tank by saying nice things that everyone wants to hear again.

Spend down? You mean get flagged and banned? Because that's what will happen.
