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

Visit the Forum Court.

Sheriff I see you are becoming expert in altcoinstalks forum 
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 

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

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.

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? 
I like that here we have different and more open system than on bitcointalk forum, that can help improve quality.

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.

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.

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.

This was a funny topic to read. I had a feeling the yellow square would cause controversy eventually, especially when 800+ members have it for being Under Review 

Well done to Jokers for explaining what it means and finally get the point across after a dozen attempts: it's completely meaningless, it's the icon for no badge nothing else. The fact that some mods, even global mods, have this is otherwise nothing more than poor house-keeping coincidence. Some mods had their local mod ranks removed when promoted and others didn't, that's it.

Only bumping this as is probably due that the yellow square is removed from local mod group, given it's possible not to have this square such as with jnr mod and others.

But also in reality, there are more relevant things worth doing than removing a yellow square from a mod group
