What do the grey dots below my name beside this post mean?

And the grey stars on my profile?

:huh:

As far as the 7 gray dots beneath your avatar, I don't know.  But the stars in your profile are for other members to "rate" you if they should so choose to.    Kind of like a product on Amazon.    :lol:

I don't know about the gray dots either, but I did notice that the more posts you've made, the more dots you have. 

 

I never even noticed the stars before. Ha ha! I'd expect a full review if someone gave me a star rating!

 

"She's really nice but weak on technical issues," you know, to go along with a less-than-five-star rating. 

 

Oh my word. 

 

I should go give everyone five stars just to make the forum a happy place full of unicorns and rainbows...

 

But instead I'm going to bed because it's late and I'm getting a bit goofy.

I tried to rate myself 5 stars, but to no avail. -_-  I guess the self-touting only goes as far as being able to name your forum status after so many posts. 

 

I'm going to add to my sig, "you're a nobody here until you've got 7 little gray dots under your name".  :lol:

I can't say I never noticed the dots, but I really never thought about them...a quick check on a topic where I know someone had few posts showed that person had only one dot...might be related to the number of likes?  I'm sure Adam will chime in with the real answer...

I think they're related to the number of posts you have.  The most posts, the more dots.

That is because he is Adam the Admin!  He is all powerful (at least here :) ) and can have anything he wants!!!

For creating and managing this site, I'd say he deserves 10!

I was just reading this thread and decided to post to see if I had any stars...

 

...or maybe just to try to add another grey dot.

 

:P
