ICTChris Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I switched off notifications a while back when a poster started dotting me all the time. It’s good not to have notifications all the time. It can be a bit annoying not to be able see when someone quotes you but that also helps you avoid getting into big ‘back and forths’ which I am too old for now. I have also turned it off for DMs so there is no way to contact me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Is this most recent dotting account the same as the 'new' poster on the politics forum who just so happens to have 'controversial' takes*? *i.e. another one of their dull routines that they've done hundreds of times before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a perfectly acceptable moment to mention red dots. Probably the only one tbh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a ghost account red dot spam me and another user do the same and I think I posted about it on here more to make them look silly to the community and essentially deter them from continuing to do it. That was a while back, if it happened now I'd just let it be as I don't give a shit. Edited December 13, 2023 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take a hard line approach, find out their IP Address and have them shot.

GHF-23 Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 While it is probably a sign of the forum being less toxic I do miss the days when someone complaining about getting red dots would result in a barrage of red dots hitting that post 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's there but in threads I don't read. The forum has gone soft IMO. Bring back hanging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
