Sorry guys can I ask what all the posts with dots are meant to mean it's not something I've ever seen before is it a respect thing or something

It indicates a moment of silence out of respect for the deceased.

Ah I see never seen that before online. Learn something new every day I was very confused why there everyone was commenting dots after 3 of them I assumed it'd be something like that

On a previous incarnation of this site we could also turn off our 'comments' at the bottom of our posts, it would just be a blank post, that was a nice touch, perhaps mods or someone could look into us being able to do that again.

The current software does not support selective posting of the .signature.

I'm not sure how widespread the practice is. I originally encountered it on Metafilter.

I was wondering the same thing and wanted to ask, but didn't want to ask in that (or similar other) thread.

It is used as both a moment of silence and as a "bump" to keep the thread at the top.

Has cause of death been announced? I heard something about his heart but nothing official.

Heart failure. They're not real specific, but to me it sounds like most likely cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure.

congestive heart failure

Kimbo Slice had been diagnosed with heart failure and needed a transplant days before he died on Monday, according to newly released hospital records.
