The dots below username, what kind of badge is it?

[examplens]

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



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
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?

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.

Yes I'm guilty I've sent out few -Karma to proven spammers only. I deserve that

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?

I also thought that the mods had a yellow one, but I just checked your account to make sure

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:

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

I don't know how technically possible it is, but maybe it would be useful to have info hints when hovering the mouse, and a short explanation for each badge.

Try to leave this idea in the Suggestion Box. 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 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?? 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

Someone broke your heart Sheriff 
That is why you are so emotional lately and you are not performing very good with sport predictions.

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 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.
