Hello Himself,
Don't worry about being a
"spare part" I think it's a far better than being a Noble!

(Aristocrat)- My ancestors would be turning in their little potatoes patches if they knew one of their descendants was a Noble

.
Not sure what you mean about the blue badge. The little boxes against the persons title/name turn green when they are online and they are clear/white when the person is off line. Read your thread when you're not logged in, the green box will be no more.
Or do you mean the blue coloured stars under some of the names (like Little Nell's above)? If so, they are the Moderators .The rest of us have to put up with a sickly yellowish green colour ( I prefer much brighter colours myself, such as polka dot, fluorescent orange )
Kind regards
