The Dot System Explained

[Odysseus123]

"They asked me how I knew

my posting count was true?

I of course reply

when enthusiasm dies

Dots get in your eyes.."

I would like one of you to nominate me for POTY this year. I've had enough of commentating. I want to get into the thick of it this year.

The last time I was lost for words was in the 2016 POTY, when someone kidnapped Nancy's cat

I would nominate Colin as the dot minister. The highlight of his month is reading his water bill .....

If someone tried to avoid their water bill, would they then become a duck bill?

There's that many posts on this topic you could say the plot thickens. Or as Mrs Malaprop would say, "The thick plottens."

Like a fireman climbing a ladder, when you get to the top there is only one way to go. With 4 dots, I have time and choice! and I can be wrong or right. Oh dear like a fireman at the top, easy to get burn!

I would nominate you for the POTY but I have already nominated you for POTUS.

you are almost on the bottom rung dear sir, but have faith, those dots will accumulate in the fullness of time

 

PS No one takes you seriously until you have 6

Is there any correlation between the amount of dots a man has and his appendage size?

I suddenly feel the urge to rush out and buy a Ferrari Testosterone

The president of course, your avatar has the same haircut, albeit with a different colour.

If that were the case, Trans would be off the scale ....

Time for a poem

 

DOTS

 

They rule our lives

These little spots

Yet most are unaware

Of the row of black dots

 

We post on the forum

Saying what we feel

Without ever realizing

The dots are the deal

 

Call it ranking

A kind of status

It’s hard to believe

How they rate us

 

You might have one

Or possibly eight

Which is handy

Cos you don’t have to wait

 

Dots are important

There’s no doubt about that

7-11 accepts them

If you’re wearing a hat

 

There is some confusion

Who has the most

That would depend on

how many times you post

 

Newbies get one

That goes without saying

But until you have four

You’re not really playing

 

We tip our hats

To the 8 dotters

Yet deep down inside

We think they are rotters

 

Seniority rules

That much is clear

At social gatherings

4 dotters pay for the beer

 

You can’t take them with you

The black dots I mean

If you tried to do that

There would be a scene

 

So, like it or lump it

Our lives are ruled

By those little black dots

They have got you fooled

But not enough to give me a like - it's just lip service.

Geronimo maybe you will not be voted P.O.T.Y. but you should certainly win the award for starting the biggest load of bs thread of the year.

Quite right and it is good to learn something new everyday. Now the next mystery to be solved is how to stop the forum page being taken over by adverts as they seem to be getting bigger and bigger, month on month. When you become a dot master with nine can you get them removed ? or perhaps instigate a separate TV forum for ads only, you know just like a separate shopping channel ?

That's how they pay for this platform. Don't knock it!

How did you read that ? ( email ? ) , I edited it as soon as it appeared as it was indeed utter ( you know what !! ) .
Plus the fact that the mild expletive ( cunningly disguised [emoji51]) was deleted !!
Can’t write anything nowadays !!
You used to be able to get away with , , , and !! [emoji51]
