Can't get a community star if you ain't got an MoT profile

Add Meme
The image shows a meme using the "Roll Safe" format. The man in the image is smiling knowingly and pointing to his temple. The text overlay reads: "CAN'T GET A COMMUNITY STAR / IF YOU AIN'T GOT AN MOT PROFILE".

This meme is a humorous take on the requirements or perceived requirements for achieving recognition within a community. It suggests, perhaps ironically, that having an "MOT profile" is a prerequisite for receiving a "community star."

An "MOT profile" likely refers to a profile on the "Ministry of Testing" (MOT) website, which is a popular online community for software testers. "Community stars" are often awarded within online communities to recognize active and valuable members.

It's a real privilege to award community stars to many community members — such a lovely way to celebrate all the ways folks contribute. Yet it breaks my heart when someone doesn't have a Ministry of Testing profile for me to do it.
