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.  :)

Just between you and me,  the ad-spot for "The Log driver's Waltz" horrified me until I was old enough to understand the words...

 

 

Oh Gods, They're gonna die!--

 

Oh. Wait. It's a dance?

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:You can still skin into China as a non-English native teacher by holding English Teaching license in your home country.2nd: Your BA degree should be completed in a native English country. Once, you fulfilled these 'parameters', you qualify for an English teaching job in China as a non-native English sneaker with Z - Entry/working visa with Working and Residence permit later on. See the last 'Answers Highlight' ---> there is a web link posted about 'requirements for teaching English language in China as a non-English native passport holder'. https://www.gooverseas.com/blog/guide-teaching-english-china#paragraph-item-63614-target

*English proficiency: Passport from one of seven "native speaker" countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and South Africa). If you aren’t a native speaker, you’ll need to be a certified teacher in your home country with proof of your English proficiency (e.g. IELTS or TOEFL). I'd say, Chinese will choose and look especially for a native English speaker at teaching of English Literature job openings. Posted job adverts for English Literature teaching are most likely from International Schools in China. Good luck! -- icnif77
