I don't think the dots are allocated based on post count, I think it has more to do with reputation. For example, poster nikmar has 6 dots, as do I, but only has about 2600 posts, compared with my 4800. However, our reputation points are somewhat equivalent, as he has 4516 and I have 4633. However, mysteriously, Geronimo has fewer rep points than both of us (around 4200), but more posts at 5,000, and now mysteriously has 7 dots. It does seem to be a true mystery, this point allocation system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geronimo Posted July 24, 2019 Author Share Posted July 24, 2019 I notice that Bluesofa has an extraordinary number of likes when compared to his post count, so he must be a popular poster. Perhaps a contender for this year's POTY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justgrazing Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 9 hours ago, geronimo said: I'm sure there are members who think dot allocation is automatic. Well, I can tell you it most certainly isn't. When you are 25 posts away from a dot, Rimmer calls a mod meeting and proposes the dot allocation, asking all mods if there are any reasons why the dot should not be given! In the event there are no objections, Rimmer dons the beaver hat and solemnly marches to the safe where the dots are kept. He then has to use his key, along with the 3 other keys that must be simultaneously inserted to open the dot box. As soon as the box is open, all mods must look at the floor, as no one is allowed to see inside the box. Once the dot is out of the box, it is put into a ceremonial urn, then it is blessed by Rimmer and a group of select mods take the dot to the server, where is it put. I am not allowed to say what happens next ,,,,, otherwise I won;t get my 7th dot ...... Hahahahahaha .. Geronimo you are nuttier than a sack full of squirrels ..
