<p>There was a thread about the green squares that now appear under screen users names.
If you hover on it will say “ebeeeee is on a distinguished road”. There is also some kind of scale judging reputation. Not sure how much I love this…reminds me of the new facebook posting random ads to my news feed and tracking my every keystroke…what say you fellow ccers? Am I being paranoid?</p>
<p>CC (the site) is just telling us one-dotters that we’re not cool enough to get “votes”. :p</p>
<p>But really, it seems like the response to this is pretty overwhelmingly negative.</p>
<p>I checked out a few green dots, and I was about to ask if we are all “on a distinguished road,” but then, much to my surprise, I see that romanigypsyeyes “will become famous soon enough” </p>
<p>What does it all mean?</p>
<p>Huh. I think that might be a glitch because I thought that was reserved for 2 dotters. But I could be wrong. Here’s the thread on it: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/community-forum-issues/1425170-say-thanks-helpful-cc-member.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/community-forum-issues/1425170-say-thanks-helpful-cc-member.html</a></p>
<p>I am guessing it relates to the number of posts made by the member.</p>
<p>No. It’s how many points they’ve gotten. Not related to post count at all best I can tell.</p>
<p>Go to the above thread to get info. The mods will be locking this thread as they have done other threads on the subject as apparently they don’t want it discussed in the cafe. :)</p>
<p>I guess I am not that observant. Had not noticed the green box till yesterday and didn’t think much of it. I think it might take off more with the younger users.</p>
<p>ok, I see. It’s “reputation” which I have seen on other forums. Actually, in this setting where advice is constantly sought and given I think a “reputation” button is a good idea. (Hit me up! 
) NJRes is kind of a jerk sometimes</p>
<p>I foresee some people touting their 5 GB (guru instead of green button) rank in future thread debates. 5GB poster will soon claim her/his post is canon over whatever 1GB member counters. :D</p>
<p>For a short period of time I was “infamous”. It fit myself image. Alas, I’m on my way to being famous. Darn.</p>
<p>Then they will have to lock the “prestigiosity” thread, too, which is in the Parents Forum. Page 4 is where the hilarious posts about the green boxes begin, with Post #144. </p>

<p>Hmm…ebeeeee is extremely suspicious…
if they close this thread I will be unhappy. Why can’t we discuss changes to the cc format?
Mods: If you must close this thread I would surely appreciate a PM explaining why.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link CTTC…I have never been reprimanded for bad language…and I have posted helpful posts. Where’s the love? jym has four green boxes (the green eyed box monster has bitten me).</p>
<p>Oops. Just read the other thread. Please do not consider my post above as a request for “votes”. Honestly I’m just funning you all. I don’t take this stuff that seriously. I have been on this thing for six years, originally for the information, now for the laughs and great shopping tips.</p>
<p>Hahaha – didn’t even see the green boxes! Tks for the heads up.</p>
<p>And if they don’t close it I’ll be ticked - cause mine and another posters thread got closed yesterday for “talking” about it (upon first discovering and asking about the squares) - EQUAL OPPORTUNITY LOCKING PEOPLE!!! :)</p>
<p>I didn’t notice them either.</p>
<p>I never noticed til this thread.</p>
<p>Well, I guess if we don’t like it we can cancel our paid subscriptions and demand our money back! Oh wait, it’s free!</p>
