Black dot on avatar

I seem to have a black dot to the bottom right of my avatar when I post. I haven’t seen anyone else with one. Does anyone know what it means?

I have seen a few people with those.

I run another forum which uses discourse and the image is an Avatar Flair which is displayed if you are member of a particular group. Doesn’t help know what it’s being used for here though.

If I hover over it, a pop-up appears stating ‘FLT_KITTYHAWK_081418’.

Oh yes, so it does. How interesting. I wonder why. Apparently (among many other things) Kittyhawk is used as the callsign for UK Royal VIP flights. So in the absence of a better explanation, I’m going to assume they see me as a Royal VIP :wink:

Maybe the rest of you didn’t do good enough testing and I did REALLY good testing. Or maybe it’s the opposite - I have a black mark next to my name because I didn’t test hard enough. Perhaps they’re looking for a scapegoat and they’re shortly to put out a press release blaming me for all the bugs that slipped through into the release! :flushed:
