What do the dots going around mean

I noticed a post with a circle of dots going around in the bottom right corner. What does that mean?

Look at posts 3,7,8,12 & 14. I don't know if it is a temporary thing or not.

Yep. I thought maybe it is because the moderator has the post in his sights for the possible delivery of a warning or infraction.

Then I thought it was a warning to me that it is late and I should get off the forum and get to bed so I can get up and bleed my brakes in the morning.

Not part of the moderation process in any way.

Interesting use of that icon. I'm not sure of the reason.

Nice to see you’re still around, Brian.

I think it’s a perfect representation of some of the political discussions we’ve had here on the forum.

It just keeps going ‘round and ‘round and ‘round...

Or you can just turn signatures off. It makes the forum much more pleasant to read that way. I turn off avatars too. I have no idea what you guys "look" like.

You've put your finger on it. We members of the Get Off'n Your Bee-hind Federation (GOYBF) are using that as clever subliminable messaging to improve the level of DIY participation in America in our hour of need.

Please carry on and tell only close associates about this.
