    Geronimo, you been on the pop again? All mods are 8 dotters, wrong, for any member or mod to get 8 dots they have to have made over 10.000 posts. You must be very bored, taking the time to

    They're not all genuine "likes". Most of them are in lieu of a "groan" button.

No way is she 6 ft 3in, must be standing on a box!!! A box of dots!!!!

What a "dot gone" bunch of nonsense.

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 ......

I sent brown envelopes to all the mods, so I don't expect any objections!

Sounds like a discussion about moderation. Sounds dodgy.

I must admit I am very close to the line, but my lawyer assures me that to date, I haven't gone far enough to lose any dots, or even get a posting holiday!!!

Is there also a funny handshake, or some other potty greeting, for the 8 dotters like the Freemasons or can't you say ?

A hell of a lot of dots she's standing on, perhaps an EU surplus?

Hello Geronimo's wife.

How come you've let him smoke that dodgy stuff for two consecutive days on the run now? He's certainly gone off at a tangent (tan θ = opposite over adjacent).

 

Aren't you concerned about the pile of dishes he still hasn't washed - or is it safer to wait until his head clears before you left him loose with any cutlery?
