ICTChris Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I remember when dots were anonymous and I actually recall the day when they turned on the ability to go back and see who was dotting you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I also think folk who go around red dotting posts constantly is absolutely tragic behaviour.

When I talk to my friends about things on here, the follow up questions usually are passed by and straight to "your wee Internet pals, aye?". Also, whatever Aberdeen fan won 40 Freddos aff Div, we have a friend in common. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the poster. But sometimes I jump in too soon and no one follows and I look like a dick. It only works if we're all pulling in the same direction. 3 hours ago, 19QOS19 said: I agree but I also think folk who go around red dotting posts constantly is absolutely tragic behaviour. Even more so folk with alias accounts who sign up specifically to do it. It's been about 15 years since I last signed up to a forum to bam people up but let me tell you those were some of the best nights of my life. Cried real tears on several occasions. Me and a pal had about 3 or 4 accounts between us and shared the passwords and posted as each other. There are few things in this world that possess the ability to reach the spot that being an annoying little c**t reaches for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagane Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 I haven't got round to giving a red dot yet ,tend to just ignore any posts I disagree with. Do give out greenies if I agree or if they give me a laugh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone once made an account on here with a play on my username and chose their supported team as my local team, made zero posts but red dotted my account loads. I get the idea you can fall into a bit of an Internet rabbit hole and get in petty arguments but stalking someone's location and getting so personal is properly watchlist behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a poster on here who saved a picture of a poster who upset them to their personal photos and followed him around the site posting the picture. The photo of the guy that was saved was when the poster was a fifteen year old boy. The guy doing the following was in his fifties or sixties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side, the feeling you get when making a post you know will rile people up (usually Falkirk fans) and when the red dots start appearing is like a shot of adrenaline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
