Johnny does not get 2 points, because no one voted for his def (which was combined with the real def). Congratulations on your D0.

No

No-one voted for it - a great D0

now can someone tell me exactly what  would have happened if I had voted for it - I didn't recognise it as my def - |I think the answer is still 0 because I cannot score on a vote for myself - but would it still have been a D0? Note. I honestly did not recognise that as my def

Thanks all. 

John, I don't understand how this can happen either, since the definition you gave me was almost word for word what I had.

Johnny, 

You still wouldn't have scored. The "Real" Rules of Dixonary, Rule 8: 

Provided always that the author of a definition, or a contributor to a combined definition, never receives points for voting for it. 8(b)(1), 4(c)(1), 4(c)(2)

That document was last revised in 2015, but considering that no rule changes were ever made in the previous 25 years of the game, I'm guessing, though I have been somewhat absent lately, that the same is true of the last five years.
