I don't have a 10-foot pole handy, but I'll take a stab and say it's not a position one 'signs up' forHopefully we're all lucky enough to be asked to admin someday...

I choose the Admins when the need arises by looking through members posts and finding those individuals that already fit the bill by constantly trying to help other members.

Right now I am all full up, but I do appreciate the offer

Thanks brett

That green thing is NOT a part of the infraction system, it is entirely a different system and you get the extra dots when people click on your posts approving what you have to say.

I don't think most of us even know what the heck they really mean

Everybody starts out at the unknown quantity point, everybody starts out at 10 points. The system really doesn't mean anything, it is controlled by members either marking a post by you as good or bad.

The numbers do not go up and down with each remark, rather it takes several to get it to change just 1 point. An Admins comments to that system hold a little more weight than an average member, but again not a point per vote kind of thing.

Most people are not even aware of the system so it gets little to no use in general. I wouldn't waste a single minute worrying about it either way, we don't need little colored dots to tell us if we like somebody or not
