What's with that little green box that says...

[froggsong]

That little green box to the right across from your name in a post that says "blahblahblah is on a distinguished road".. What is up with that box? Does it serve a purpose? Is there anyone who is not traveling such a road on this site? I have yet to come across anyone that is not traveling the road distinguished. It is driving me insane. Don't ask me why, I have no idea, I just know that it is. So if anyone knows or cares to speculate, I would love to hear it.

and WHAT is up with this weird point system I see in peoples signatures? like:

1.0.2 (insert pet here)
2.3.1 (ditto)
0.2.1 (again)
0.1.0 (and again)

etc...

I can't figure it out and I don't even know how to begin to search for an explanation... So, what does it mean, can someone tell me???

I have no ide what you are talking about where is this box? Ive never noticed it

It's over there underneath the part that says:

(that's what mine says anyway, lol) It's a little green rectangular box... I just can't figure out it's purpose... and it's driving me crazy! (I have no life, lol...)

It's like that stupid escapee cricket that won't shut up...

Hello Froggsong
The 1.1.1 etc refers to a 3 letter word starting with S ending with X & "E" is in the middle
Seriously it stands for the number of Males; Females & Unknown sex of the particular animal. Cant help with the little green box though

ZOMG! ok so i was on a Ballpython forum looking around and i noticed they have a little green box on their site too but there different peoples say different things... and then all of a sudden like a ton of bricks followed like a 10 ton truck it hit me have you noticed the scales of justice above the posts? and if you hover your mouse over it it says add to so and so's reputation? i would have to wager that when people click that little scale of justice it adds rep to your profile which in turn will eventually change what your little green box says make sense? please tell me im not crazy

[froggsong]

WOOT! That might be right... Someone finally came up with it.. for that you get a click on the rep-o-meter, lol...

Also, if you click on the scales on your own post, it tells you how many reputation points you have. I think you were definitely right!

[Athen]

for all those who are interested here is a thread from another forum that has a similar format that explains the use of the scales of justice and the little green box i know it isnt going to be exactly the same here but is a good basis to understand how it works and the likes Reputation System FAQ - Ball-Pythons.net Forums

it was rly bugging me to figure out how it actually worked even more when i figured out the possible correlation between the green box and the scales =) now my nerves can rest i have fed my need for knowledge if only temporarially =)

[froggsong]

lol... Apparently you and I were the only ones worried about it... lmao
