Well everyone I can see has the same icon for Rule P, so maybe that one is based off of if someone has posted or not?
That sounds like it has some bearing. I think people who have posted today have the paper with the lines icon while people who haven't posted today have different icons depending on how long they haven't?
I don't think that's it because if you look at any thread from today, everyone that has posted in the thread has the same icon for rule P.
Then look for older threads, then find someone with a different icon and look at the Last Activity on their profile.
Hmm, that is an interesting observation, although I don't think that is quite it. this user (robarmy) hasn't posted today and they have the same icon as those who have posted today. Although they have been online today, so perhaps it has to do with actually being online rather than posts.
I don't think that is it, that wouldn't explain why there are more than two icons for the second rule.
He was also in The Rock with Sean Connery... you might be onto something here.Thanks.. I need to get a life I'm starting to feel like Nicolas Cage.
You sure about that? I clicked on the "find more posts by" and it showed that their last post was that which I linked. And also, there is the MacRumors bot which has posted today and has a different icon for Rule 'P'.
Ok then. Rule 2 means either a user has logged in in the past 24 hours or not.
Rule 4 is the month the user joined ?

I suspect the third icon somehow related the type of computer we own the colours indicate which model of Mac you're on. I'm on my MacBook Pro, hence my flag is orange.
That is what I was referring to originally...
I wouldn't say it is so clear cut though, as it wouldn't explain the multiple paper icons that a user can get. I've seen at least 4 so far.
I'm on my iMac currently but have an orange flag... although I do use my Macbook Pro the majority of the time. Maybe it is related?
