What do the red boxes under our name mean, and is there any reason for how many boxes are under a person?

Also why do certain people like Big Mike and Cupcake have scissors before their names?

Those are a new featured added. They signify new ranks based on how many posts. The more posts, the higher rank, the more red boxes (I'm having a frustrating time making a badge for ranks to replace the boxes, no idea how to do that). They also come with different titles for the ranks, but those can be replaced by any custom titles you have on your account. If you want to see which title you got from the ranks, you can go to the edit profile and the title section.

I think the red boxes represent Warning levels. I will attempt to Warn myself and see if that changes anything.

Edit: Wrong theory! Thanks Mike!

Also those are not scissors, they are an A and a wrench, which I assume stands for "this person has Admin access".

Right you are! I've been thinking that it's sort of hard to distinguish between admins and staff on the user list, so I wanted to try adding an icon in. That way it's easier for new members to know who to send a message to if they need help, or who to talk to about a name change, etc.
The icon might need changing, but I think the concept is sound.

I think Postmaster General is the highest rank anyone has atm, and due to a lot of the people on here being the hardcore veterans, there are a fair number of people with it. A few of the most active posters are close to reaching the next highest rank. However, there are plenty of higher ranks still to reach. I will be very surprised if anyone ever gets the highest rank on there.

I'd suggest Cupcakes are reflective of Faction actually, there are Normal Cupcakes for Bandle and Purple Cupcakes for Void.

If so, I'd request you replace it with a purple eye, like maybe Vel'koz's :D
either that or take my sauron's and make it purple

I'll let you discover the highest rank, don't want to spoil the surprise. However, I can tell you the post requirement was the highest number it would allow me to input: 65,535

And Xalk has deposed me as the highest poster. I have brought such shame to my clan I do not think I deserve the highest title.

4650 to be precise

Eh, I guess I'll release the name, but the icon will still be a secret until someone reaches there... in about 15 years.
Supreme Overlord of the Post

Plenty of other ranks still between there and our current highest though, so more to discover.
