Super User Long Mike Posted September 27, 2015 Super User Posted September 27, 2015 Basically, it is an indicator of the frequency of your participation on these forums. The more dots, the more participation. No prizes are awarded for frequency of participation, so the number of dots doesn't mean all that much. It just shows that you've been around a while. Unfortunately, the dots don't differentiate between blabber and useful content. Mike Goodson Moderator 4 Quote

Even though it (and most of what I post) is considered blabber. 1 Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted September 27, 2015 Super User Posted September 27, 2015 Big C, nice to have you around. It's easy to recognize blabber. It always starts with "What is the best ..." It clearly differentiates (wow, I just used that big word again!) between those who have not bothered to research the huge volume of information available in our Fishing Articles section and/or those who have not bothered to use the Search function on these forums. This statement is not directed at you, it's just a general observation. Mike 1 Quote

My favorite balabber post is the obligatory "If you were on a deserted island with one rod, one reel, and one lure what would they be?" Quote

Unfortunately, the dots don't differentiate between blabber and useful content. Mike Goodson Moderator That's what the likes are for, no? I'm always partial to the, "I bought Fancy Lures X,Y, and Z and can't catch any fish, so what's wrong?" posts. It's always helpful to remember, the "black" basses have been getting caught by humans for thousands of years, long before bass fishing became a major industry and lure companies entered the scene. There may not be another fish on the planet willing to strike a wider variety of baits and presentations, including virtually every artificial lure design ever conceived. You could not dream up a more perfect fish species to build a multi-billion dollar industry around. When a thorough skunking forces you to confront the fact that they don't strike absolutely every lure, all the time, everywhere you throw it -- and you are puzzled by this -- it typically means it's time to invest more effort into understanding your quarry and its environs, rather than simply sinking more money into your tackle box. 2 Quote

Super User Paul Roberts Posted September 29, 2015 Super User Posted September 29, 2015 Hey I just noticed something. You've got 1800+ posts per dot. I got only 500 posts per dot. Is that bc yours, or mine, are... blabbier? Maybe there just isn't room for all your dots. Quote
desmobob Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Actually, I think the dots somehow represent the number or percentage of your "liked" posts in some way. Tight lines, Bob Quote
