The dark is power...

what do the different visual icons do? for example.. the flaming emblem after 50 replies?

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Gold septagon - an employee has posted, we better quote him quickly.

Flames - Hot topic

Green - new topic

They don't "do" anything. They're just there to let you know if something is a hot topic or if a Bungie Employee has posted in that certain thread.

So, Death or Bungie?

After 51 replies a flaming icon indicates that the topic is "hot".

If it has the golden icon that means a Bungie Employee has posted in that thread.

If a gray lock is next to it, then the thread has been locked, you can not post in these threads.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Their purpose is to give a quick insight about the properties of the thread.

The icons themselves don't do anything other than show things that have happened to the thread.

For example, the green + shows that the topic is new, the flaming webmaster shows a hot topic, a golden septagon shows that an employee has posted within the topic, and a padlock shows that the topic is locked.

They don't do anything besides show that something has happened to the thread. Flames mean that the threads a hot topic (51 replies), the gold septagon means that a Bungie Employee has posted in it, etc.

Threads that get locked only get them if the thread has gone off-topic, in the wrong forum, not forum related.

Or if the person that has made the thread ask a Forum Moderater to lock it.

Forum Rules | Terms of Use | Code of Conduct

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.
