Oreo. No setting 2 disable notification dots at all

[Zumasepoes]

I have Googled ad infinito ad nauseum. I include screenshots of my notifications settings but nowhere can I disable notification dots. Oh vrapri can't upload screenshots but under settings, apps, notifications all notifications sliders as set to off with no luck.
