Some people have strange symbols in front of their names... what do those mean?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Those are the moderators, and admins. You will probably want to be a bit courteous at first. Some are friendlier than others are. In addition, some are more demanding of players, and also some don't deal with the actual players at all. So, when talking, consider who they are, and mind the rules. Do not make a scene anywhere. Just go back to the beginning and start running it all through your thick skull again.

What do the ->, => and :: symbols mean?

comp.lang.perl.tk FAQ
The -> is the "infix dereference operator". In other words it is the means by which one calls a sub with a pass by reference (among other things you can do with ->). As stated above most things in calls to Perl/Tk routines are passed by reference. The -> is used in perl just as in C or C++. (Most of the widget primitives are elements of the Tk:: "perl class".) A simple example of dereferencing would be: $x = { def => bar }; # $x is a reference to an anon.

FAQ - Samson Alexae's Movie Guide
empty box next to a title indicates that, for whatever reason, I have not yet watched this video. Most of the titles I haven't seen were suggested to me by at least two other people, so I am reasonalby certain that they contain a scene (or scenes) of asphyxia, but I am unable to personally verify this at the present time. Basically, what I'm saying is that if you rent the movie and there is no asphyxia related scene, I'm sorry, but it's not my fault.
