Hi Galaxy,
The red mark signifies that this player is using a program. These players also have a computer icon on their profiles. if you click on it, it shows: "program usage detected".
Some players who want to use a computer to decide their moves are honest and switch their accounts to a "computer" account. They also have an icon (which looks slightly different) on their profiles and the red exclamation mark.
However, in most cases FlyOrDie's system detects the use of a program. This will be double checked by FlyOrDie administrators.
The use of a program in board games (only in board games) is allowed on FlyOrDie, but not in tournaments.
The black dot next to a players nickname is a so-called demerit point.
Players who behave in an inappropriate way - who violate the **site rules - receive a demerit point.
A demerit point mutes the the player to all present in any of FlyOrDie's game chat areas.
The duration time of a demerit point varies. The player will be notified about the duration of the demerit at the login screen.

Have a nice day and good games!
