Title: The dots below username, what kind of badge is it?
Post by: examplens on March 14, 2024, 11:23:06 PM
I noticed that some users have specific badges, but I did not find an explanation of their meaning.
For example, the admin has 5 red dots

(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/14/JSk8g.png)

while dkbit98 has one yellow:

I didn't find anything about it here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=14162.0

Yellow square ( symbol) is for local board moderators. I also have one since I became a local board Sherrif. The full red square is only for the admin I guess.

The admin on the other forum also have a special red coin - maybe it means something to those in Dev/code world.

I thought the same because I saw you with yellow dot in profile and I knew you are local mod, but admin told us that yellow dots can mean many different things, some of them are not good ;D
This should be explained better and posted by admin, but maybe they want to keep something hidden for security reasons.

There are too many badges  the one I'm more curious about is the Bad karma award... What does it mean?  ;D

That's the broken heart, right? If i understand it right, it means the user send a bad karma to someone at least once.

Yeah, there are lots of badges here there's no exact thread also where this all badges can be seen. I hope admin or the global mods or anyone who has knowledge about it make a thread of all the badges here.

It is not a big secret, so I don't think that the problem has security reasons. The yellow square is used for some groups which don't have any own badge (admin said that there are plans to revoke this yellow square in the future), and the number of these groups is not constant: some group can be added, some can be deleted. As this yellow square doesn't have any specific meaning, there's no need in mentioning all possible groups which can have it.

By the way, among other things I'm a local mod and I don't have the yellow square badge, so it doesn't say anything specific anyhow. Just don't pay too much attention to it.

I suppose there are hundreds of badges, and that gonna be a long thread. I doubt anyone would do that on his own. Just enjoy the forum and ask questions if you encounter a strange one. The forum is far larger than I expected; I've been there for three years and have yet to explore many of the subboards.

@Joker. Okay.

Are there any others besides the ones I saw 5 red and 1 yellow?

Well, 5 red squares is something very specific. I guess admin group is something constant, so it is not shown among other groups, so there can probably be anything like that, but as far as I know it is the only specific badge of this sort.

As for the groups I can see, there are no more groups with just squares instead any badge for them. But there could be some inactive for now groups with other small symbols at the left side of a badge only.

Some badges (like different types of strike badges) also have just a symbol in a small part of a badge, like this one for 1 strike:
(https://www.altcoinstalks.com/Themes/default/images/1st.png)

But most badges take up mostly all the line and more than a half are inscribed in rectangles.

Try to leave this idea in the Suggestion Box (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=358.0). admin will look at it when he'll get time. It is a technical issue, so only he can evaluate how complicated can it be. ???

Igebotz being the first to post on this thread already explained the dot same way I understand it's meaning, for the admin, it's easy to understand why he has five red dots under his username, he is  the only person on this forum with that badge, and with the admin username, it should be very easy for anyone to understand that he is the admin of this forum, just incase anyone imposter tried to impersonate him.

And for the yellow dots, that simply means the user is a moderator in their respective local board.
But something I do not understand at the moment is if the yellow dot is generalized for all moderators, both local and international, or is it just specific or limited to local board moderators alone?.

Once again, it is incorrect. If you think that for instance the one posted this deleted post (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=255603.msg1351470#msg1351470) is a moderator or ever been a moderator, you are totally wrong. I explained already what meaning does the yellow square have.

The yellow square is used for some groups which don't have any own badge (admin said that there are plans to revoke this yellow square in the future), and the number of these groups is not constant: some group can be added, some can be deleted. As this yellow square doesn't have any specific meaning, there's no need in mentioning all possible groups which can have it.

To me, this is a mystery as well, even that yellow badge also, I had a long discussion on this topic a while ago, you can check that if you want here on this thread. Yellow Box Badge Under Username, What is That?? (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=317718.msg1503230#msg1503230) Well, from this topic, it was concluded that the yellow badge was not only given to local moderators but many members who are not moderators also have it, so the admin decided to revoke this soon, but it seems like till now they are not revoked, maybe due to some schedule of the admin.

Secondly, no one talked about the 5 red dots under the admin profile, at the start I thought he was an admin and to make his/her presence unique he had these 5 red dots and I did not see such dots under any, which means the purpose of the 5 red dots must be to show that he is the admin. Although the yellow and red badges are mentioned here on the following thread but not so much of a information they have. https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=184767.0

It would be great for admin team to make a post explaining what all that badges and icons mean, and how we can get them or lose them.

Most badges, including some revoked, are mentioned in this topic https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=14162.0

There are some other possible badges, like the ones for plagiarism, shilling or necro bumping, but most are in the list.

I didn't find anything about it here https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=14162.0
The 5 red dots that the admin has seem to be an identification mark specifically for Admins only, which means that only admins have these 5 red dots.
As long as I have been on the altcoinstalks forum since 2018, I have never seen any member who has 5 red dots apart from the admin, but I often see yellow dots in various members.

"yellow box is used on multiple ranks that have no badges,
after this thread, i'll work on removing it from these ranks." (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=317718.msg1499132#msg1499132)
That is a reference that the admin has said previously in a different thread and I am also still waiting for the admin's decision to remove some of the yellow dots by the Admin.
This takes time for the Admin to do, considering that the admin has a ton of problems, improvements, suggestions and various information that are currently being worked on for the forum.

Please also see the references made by members "dragoncrypto"  (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;u=12484).
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=184767.0
The information at the bottom has a picture of yellow dot 1 and red dot 5, there are the words "Inactive Mods=>" pointing to yellow dot 1, but I'm not sure that's a sign for an inactive Moderator.
Because as proof, many other members have yellow dot 1, and they are also ordinary members, not from the Moderator section.

And what is the red circle in damsix profile?
This is getting confusing and it is better to ignore all dots, circles, triangles and other geometrical figures, until someone posts clear explanation for all of them.
I don't think this is so important, but people are always curious ;)

I also wanted to ask about this same circle dot when I clicked on the link he shared.

But I noticed that all the accounts that have this circle dot are related to "multi-account" accusation, so maybe the dot was given when their karma got drained by the admin.

Sounds reasonable. This red circle is related to a new group "zoom 1". There were no explanation as for now, but admin said he will clarify it in the future. I'll wait for more info from him. :)

And now we know. There was implemented an additional color system (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=319457.0) indicating good and bad contribution of some users. Main aim is to improve overall quality of forum posting. And red circle is a really bad mark. There can be up to six different colors of this circles at the moment, this marking should help campaign managers.

This is something completely different and the basic idea is not bad, it is simpler to recognize the real rank of users, especially for campaign managers. It is also useful for me because it will help me not to waste time reading some nonsense.

However, I think that it is not very well executed, it is quite centralized, the admin has added some additional duties to himself, and it can be quite unclear how these badges are assigned. At some point, this can only open up additional discussions as to whether someone was fairly or unfairly assigned a certain.

You get the point really clear enough, I was actually thinking exactly same thing after I finished reading the announcement of this new development in the thread posted by admin, unfortunately, the thread is not open for discussion, esle, this is exactly the issue I wanted to raise.

Admin said in the announcement that not every user will have this dots, that only those, based on reposts about them; will have the dot, does not matter the color, could be red - which symbolizes negative trust, or green - which symbolizes positive trust as stated in the announcement.

Maybe going into the future, we will get a clearer picture of how this is programed to work, but I still feel that admin should have made this feature decentralized where by, it's the forum users rating of users individually that directly decides or determines who gets a red pill, and who gets a green pill next or under their username.

I think, as a start, the forum should not reveal your identity/how you are classified according to these points.

 - Prepare a list of 30 members who can vote on the quality of your posts.
 - Update the list every month.
 - Something that might be more like BTT DT list, as it is updated every month, but a hidden list to avoid drama/conflict of interest.

Overall, I really liked the idea.

We have so many protests even against negative karma option! I can imagine what will we face with if to make a decentralized system which impact on badges. :o

Especially if to remember wonderful reasons for Trust marks from some DT members on BTT, like when someone has a totally different political opinion or some reasons like "I don't know him, but he left me a negative tag, so I will give him a negative tag also". If it worked at least on BTT as it was expected... ;D

I had the feeling this red circles are not something good, and something is finally revealed from admin ;)
Now everyone will try to get those nice green and blue circles, and this could be important for campaign managers when choosing new participants.

Perhaps an experience forum member can work on that topic. Everything in one place like the topic from hilariousandco on bitcointalk FAQ.

Yes, but this is certainly too centralized. One person decides what is good enough or what is bad. Plus, all complaints go to the admin, which will have additional obligations to arbitrate and explain.



If perhaps one of the goals of the quality bar was to help managers during the selection of candidates, I would say that needs to be better implemented and visible on all pages.

Quote
Bad Quality

 :
This user have a major issue that needs to be resolved. (this is like negative trust) . We advise the user to contact the admin to see if there is a solution to this issue.
(multiple accounts, account farms, ...)
We do not advise bounty managers to work with these users.

For example, let's simulate when the manager selects the participants, or if he wants to check changes during the campaign.

Managers are going to check the user info so for example user Power420 has a red circle, and his profile looks like this (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;area=summary;u=75922), without this quality bar.
Also, the manager will go through his post history, where again the quality bar is not displayed.

(https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/21/J5H1j.png)

Summary of user Power420 https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;area=summary;u=75922
Post History of Power420 https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;u=75922



Here is the Winz.io campaign spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XOnkUdeSq-NbzZrk0t4EpVZLoPCjVubLHUjg7-d0kVc/edit?usp=sharing
Anyone can check how convenient it is for the manager to check if one of his participants has or has received a red circle under his name in the meantime.

I guess they will learn fast enough that red circle badge is given for those who have "Additional Membergroups: zoom 1". All badges have their own groups most of which are visible in the profile as Additional Membergroups. So it's not the biggest issue IMO.

Eh, I didn't know that zoom 1 membership refers to that. I believe that most of the other members did not recognize it either, I guess it should be a little clearer.

I noticed that some users have specific badges, but I did not find an explanation of their meaning.
For example, the admin has 5 red dots

It is a sign to users into certain groups. If on Bitcointalk, it is the same as the following tag example:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178608.msg2514705#msg2514705

If Alcoinstalks still uses the default installation from the SMF, 5 red pips for administrator, 5 blue pips for global moderator, 5 green pips for board moderator, and 1-5 yellow pips for post counts*.

Is there a way to see exactly what that user did? I already know zoom1 is related to cheaters and multi-accounting but is there a way to locate exactly where the user was reported?

I saw an account that teleported here and it had the red dot - I've gone through the forum court and board where cheaters are reported but none of them contained this user.

My problem is, it's hard for me to remember which sign is for what. So far I was able to recognize the signs which are the yellow gif bird [?] means Legendary, I saw Jokers have dragon type thing  which means he is mythical. The teleported image, the yellow square which means local moderator and that's it. For anything else most of the time I ignore but when I have time then I check the dedicated thread (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=14162.0) to understand and memorize the meaning of the symbol.

No, it is not a public information. Some cases can be found in the forum court, but not all. Those who got this badge and want to improve their behavior can ask admin what to do. But usually they know the reason. Some are warned personally or publicly several times and they still ignore it.

Is there a way to see exactly what that user did? I already know zoom1 is related to cheaters and multi-accounting but is there a way to locate exactly where the user was reported?

Visit the Forum Court.
https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?board=154.0

Most of the reported cases can be found there although there are dedicated threads for each cases.

the yellow square which means local moderator and that's it.

The Yellow sign has no identity....

As this yellow square doesn't have any specific meaning, there's no need in mentioning all possible groups which can have it.

By the way, among other things I'm a local mod and I don't have the yellow square badge, so it doesn't say anything specific anyhow. Just don't pay too much attention to it.

My problem is, it's hard for me to remember which sign is for what. So far I was able to recognize the signs which are the yellow gif bird [?] means Legendary, I saw Jokers have dragon type thing  which means he is mythical. The teleported image, the yellow square which means local moderator and that's it. For anything else most of the time I ignore but when I have time then I check the dedicated thread (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=14162.0) to understand and memorize the meaning of the symbol.
Red color usually means bad, and it is not that hard to remember that :)
I think that admin should add some additional short information when we hover over different things located in member profiles.
One more thing I was wondering about is all those wings, dragon creatures or birds we have in our profiles  :o

Did you mean the small red circle on the user profile? If it is then yes you are right.
Red bar means kind of negative trust that we see on bitcointalk. This bar is provided those account who's doing account farming and multiple accounts.
Admin already introduced the quality bar on this altcoinstalks on this topic Improving Quality - Quality Bar (https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=319457.msg1522306#msg1522306)

With the little knowledge I was able to learn a few things and from those a few things you now made me confuse in one. I don't have the yellow square and many of us does not too. I see you have one, dkbit98 have one and I learned both of you are local mods. In the case of Jokers, he must have a higher rank than the local mod.

I studied SMF software, there is a place where the admin can set primary group. When one member has more than one groups then their primary group displays all over the forum and the rest does not.

Let's get help from @admin?

Tool tip. Yes, it's a good idea.

I said the same thing on the first page of this thread and was so confidence until Joker came around and took it away.... I've never seen anyone who's not a local mod with the yellow card.

Now I don't know what else to believe...  >:(

Yellow square ( symbol) is for local board moderators. I also have one since I became a local board Sherrif. The full red square is only for the admin I guess.

My main advice is the same: don't pay too much attention to this yellow square (it belongs to many groups and thus can't be used as a reliable attribute of any of them, some groups are positive, some are negative), when admin will have time he will remove it (he already said so). I hope it will end this long yellow square epopee. ;D

That sounds like when you tell someone not to think about pink elephant... he is going to imagine it and think about it, and yellow square will remain the mystery :)
I asked before but nobody replied anything, can you tell me what those dragons, birds and other creatures in our profile mean?

Probably. ;D But it is just a badge default stub for a number of groups, nothing mysterious. :)

This line corresponds with a rank. Golden wings for a Legendary, dragon wings for a Mythical. Next, for Jedi line of ranks there will be lightsabers. Nothing mysterious as well. ;D

Lol. Sharing the yellow square with bunch of plagiarists and Spammers, now it doesn't feel any special anymore but I still like it on profile this way. I'm getting used to seeing it everytime I post.

There are more 4 ranks after Legendary rank and these are super secret ranks. It's crazy when you think about it... ;D

Visit the Forum Court.
Sheriff I see you are becoming expert in altcoinstalks forum  ;D
Can we participate in forum court as normal members, and how can we do it?
I think many members would like to have their voice in making decisions in forum, we never had that possibility in bitcointalk forum.

Anyone can participate in the forum court but the final penalty are given by the forum judges and the admin. You can report a case or join in conversation. The forum court is open 24/7  ;D

We're all learning the forum - too many things to learn

Thanks for the explanation. I have been seen this badges on some specific users account profiles and I don't know their functions. When I saw the Op topic, I was thinking that he was talking about the color badges the admin just added to the forum but reading the content lead me to another information. Wow! I don't know dkbit98 is a Moderator here, congratulations to you even though... The sheriff nice explanation 1+karma.foe that.

Are you sure it is open 24/7?
Now you want to become a supreme judge in forum, and sheriff position is not enough for you?  ;D
I like that here we have different and more open system than on bitcointalk forum, that can help improve quality.

It happens with me all the time. When I am marking in a contest, I start with very low marking, then I decide to reduce the standard and give average marking, then I reduce the standard more and give higher marking but at the end I get confuse and then when I see my marking sheet, I can not remember which set was truly worthy to find the winners LOL

Perhaps I could not explain it well. I think the admin made so many groups with so many icons that it is also confusing for him to remember which icon he used for which group. Keeping a note on a paper will be a good idea to track the symbols.

Fortunately there's a list of groups where their badges are shown as well, so he can check all that any time he wants. This yellow square was just a stub until no one was so worried about what does it mean. Now revoking it is on admin's to do list, but this list is too long and this point, as I guess, is really far from the top. So this situation with this yellow square is temporary. :)
