I noticed someone has an icon at the bottom of their avatar/info area that says "watched" and their text color is different. What is that? Did I set that somehow? Or is that a forum thing that everyone can see and you'll all know who I'm talking about?

I didn't want to name names. But I'm curious about this setting and what it does. Also how did I set it (if I did) and I how do I un-set it? (Not that I need to necessarily. Just curious.)

Thanks.

It means their posts are being paid special attention by moderators. 

Oh. Then why can I see it?

They can still post but we the examine posts before they are allowed on.
There is information on Moderation in the Announcement section.

The text color can be selected when posting a reply....


Like this color, for example is red...but this color is blue. Very boring, bourgeois, not like this purple, which is very flamboyant.

Okay, I assumed it was a "watch for more posts by this member" thing. Like favoriting someone and getting quick access to their posts, which didn't appear to be the case. Hence the confusion.

Thanks for the info. Mystery solved!
