If you mean the icon under your name - thats just status of posts. The more you post - the name alters... theres a Forum Rankings explaination HERE
In BDSM - 'vanilla' is a term for someone who doesn't practise wiitwd. (What it is that we do). Personally, I dislike the term and rarely use it.

vanilla is everything mainstream... not just non-D/s, but not swingers, not poly, not... when not anything that your church wouldn't approve of.
At Baskin-Robins you can get many flavours of life, D/s is just one, vanilla is another.

I'm not sure how the word "vanilla" came into popular usage, but as dark stated, it's just a way of describing people who do not practice wiitwd. Personally, I don't have any feelings about it either way. To me, it's just a word...doesn't have any negative or positive connotations.

Vanilla is to Rocky Road as Missionary Position is to BDSM.
