Alpo Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I noticed this morning that several posters' avatars have a check mark next to them. But not all of them. I don't know if this is been going on for a while, or if it just started today. But however long it's been going on, why? In the following screenshot, notice that Pat has a check mark, while buckshot does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I don't think that's a check mark. It looks like a rocket or a hypodermic needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. Upon reading your post, I blew the screen up immensely, and it does appear to be a rocket ship. The choice of looking at little pictures on the telephone. All right. What is the purpose of the rocket ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Jack Calder Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 If you touch it, it says “Share, Add to Photos, Copy”. What you get is the image of the little circle with the rocket. I wonder why someone thinks I would want the image. If it tied to the particular poster’s information it might have been useful. We already had that capacity without the little rocket circle. So back to Alpo’s OP.What’s it’s purpose? CJ 5 minutes ago, Okiepan said: What's an avatar ? That little picture that you use to represent you!

Pat Riot Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 This forum is a "service" paid for by SASS. This way SASS doesn't have all the hassles of dealing with an online forum. Unfortunately If the service updates things, like little rocket ships to indicate whatever the hell little rocket ships are meant to convey, it is just part of the service.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Don't know what it is for but nine out of ten people, including Alpo, are marked as Space Cadets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that everyone I’ve seen with a circle rocket have over 1K of posts. I don’t have more than 1K posts and I am not a Space Cadet. Maybe it’s a badge marker?

Joke 'um Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 It shows that the poster has been fact checked and approved for internet service by the Public Information Safety Service. These posters are harmless and do not contradict the approved truth or unduly upset the old folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
