Favourite dot colour

duskmaiden · Subject: Favourite dot colour Sat 07 Apr 2007, 02:55

I have been inspired by a certain respected member's excellent review on community points to create a poll to find out what is the most popular dot colour. banal yes, but such is Ciao

My answer would be red. it's the nicest colour and Iifelt I was truly part of he Cio community by then

I have to go for the last choice. I feel if there weren't dots then I would spend a lot less time on the site. I see it as a bad thing for sure.

Dots have no influence on the time I spend (or don't spend) on Ciao. However, for the most part, I think the dot and point system caters for and attracts idiots. These are the same people that equate dot colour to writing ability or community status. There are a lot of idiots on Ciao.

I quite like the violet dot and if I had a choice I would keep it for good. It's a shame that you can't actually pick your own colour. I wish they were independent from community points as I don't care about them but quite like the little sprinkle of colour next to my name.

It was never the dot color that made me want to churn or produce useless comments, but the community points instead. When I was active, I had a mild obsession with always needing to leave on a round number of points, so if I was at, say 1006, I'd go read something and comment, just to get it to 1010 and I could leave content!

I'm well aware of that lol

I don't agree with them as I suspect that some people will only read reviews by a certain colour and above. I came across a newbie the other day who was obviously white, they'd written a good review and were actively reading/rating around. However that member as well as other newbies reviews were largely overlooked in favour of higher ranking dots. Lisa x

I love the sincere hope that a white dot signifies before the will to live is crushed out of you by the time you get to green and realise that you will never be able to give up the day job to write reviews full time and that person who sends you the warm fluffy greetin in your guestbook does not want to sleep with you rather they just want you to read their three thousand word cafe review on flatulance.

I think most people only care about the dot colours when the first join, once you reach a certain stage it takes so long to change colours that you forget all about them, well at least til you get close to the next one like I am now Very Happy

Silver rules, or violet/purple.

even if it took 6 years to get it lol!

(that's the silver, not the violet/purple)

I picked red as that was where I was when closed my orginal account, I hate being white as everyone assume I am new to Ciao........

You make a good point about being white. If I look at the new review list and it's page after page of white dot reviews, I just don't read them.
