Forgive my ignorance, but what do the jail bars in front of an avatar mean?

Just curious if anyone knew....I am not new to the board, but have been out of the loop for awhile.

    I have been curious about this too since it may have been introduced during my absence. It doesn't seem to prohibit posting, so maybe it's just like a scarlet letter to let people know you've done something you shouldn't have.

    That's what I was thinking. It's like...."your posts are borderline offensive. You are on probation"

    That makes sense. Thought it might be for suspected alts or banned former members.

    This could become the most desirable card on the buy, sell and trade forum. Wonder if PSA will start grading them?

    that was my avatar for a while. 😉

    eta: i actually do carry one around in my wallet. i also hand it over w my license whenever i get pulled over for speeding. im fairly certain a few of the “warnings” were issued solely for the laugh provided. one constable actually kept it. i did not say a word.

    Do they have double secret probation here? It would work like a double negative, and you'd still be behind bars but the bars would be invisible, only you and the mods would know?

    I think it is hilarious.

    What does it take to just get a mug shot with height chart as my background?

    Do the jail bars come with free POP TARTS?
