Every now and then I will be scanning the entire list of thread titles on a sub-forum, and I might happen upon a thread with some special little symbol tacked onto it. And I mistakenly think that the symbol means the thread has been awarded a medal of honor of some kind. But then on closer examination, I realize that the thread is actually a total dog.

And the star means someone liked the post?

The trashcan means that a post has been soft-deleted (hidden) by a mod, the stars are member thread ratings--not many people use the option to rate threads. You can read about it here.

Plot, from this day on everyone at AW will blame you for this thread which showed me how to rate threads.

I gave this one five stars.

I'm gonna have lots of fun with this. Thanks, Plot.
