Sorry if I confused you ... I thought that a thread with some kind of eye-catching symbol would catch admin's eye, that's all.
Is that why your avatar keeps mutating?
I don't think that theymos is paying much attention to colors and symbols.
Try to fix and/or report some forum bug and you will get noticed.
The Avatar is customized to suit stake. And the face of the Avatar has been multiply and that will become a synecdoche which is using one face to represent the whole. That symbol means "good" and "accepted" and also Symbolize "saluting, hailing". And literally, others might see it in different ways. And as icopress explained it, the symbol attract eyes before the text. And theymos might see it as a form of hailing.
