    Question little green/red squares in the threads

    I am curious and since I cannot quite figure it out, I have to ask.
    What are the little green squares on the upper right corner in a persons thread?
    What do you call them?
    How do you get them?
    And why do some have red ones?

    They are a measure of the person's reputation as judged by people who use the "Rate User" link that you can see on each post.

    The more green spots the better.
    Red means you're thought of as a bit of a pillock.
    Lots of red generally means you're Asian1/MotoHK or Sino Defender or one of the other similar American-Born or Educated Asians who suddenly think that as a result they are God's gift to everything. (Not that all ABA/AEAs are like that but there's enough of them to form a discernible "species").
