As you have stated in the OP, the flaming Webmaster, or "hot topic", is after 50 replies.
The golden septagon means that a Bungie Employee posted in the thread.
The master lock means that the thread has been closed, or locked, by a Forum Ninja or a Bungie Employee, (usually a Forum Ninja, though).
The Webmaster with an exclamation mark to the left of it is a top forum topic.
The posts, (the majority of posts) are just simply new created topics.
All other topics such as threads without any kind of mark next to it are usually threads that have not been posted in for quite some time.
