Q: WHat does the red Maple leaf symbol mean?

I've been reading the Answers forum for a while now, and although I understand what the thumb-up and thumb-down symbols mean, some posts also have a red maple leaf in the corner, with a number inside it.

 

What does that mean?

 

The forum search engine failed to enlighten me...

If you have a thumbs up and three thunbs down the maple leaf will read -2,,,,, 1 -3 = -2

Ahh, it's a math thing.

I always thought the maple leaf stood as a symbol of lesser quality and bad animation.

 

Oh...  You mean on the board.  Never mind, eh.  :)

I always thought it was the canadian flower thing and they just used it to show negative and positive. -1 would be considered red maple leaf. +1 would be considered green maple leaf.

At first I thought it was identifying Canadian members. The Red Maple Leaf being their symbol and flag of course. 

          It just seems to be a decorative icon. (or is it?) Maybe its saying "this post is TOO Canadian!".

If you get too many red maple leaves, Adminanswers sends some hockey players to your apartment to mess you up.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
