These icons represent events that have happened or are happening within a board. Keep an eye out for them on the main page: their function is to draw your attention to that event as it might affect one or more of your characters. You may need to act upon it!
This is a call to Death Eaters, summoning them to this place. Essentially this is the equivalent of the Dark Lord calling via the Dark Marks on their arms.
If this appears on a board and you are a Death Eater, then unless you have been otherwise instructed you should make your way there or expect to be punished.
Anyone with a Dark Mark will be aware of this event.
Dementors on patrol in the area or a full on attack. Beware.
This is a fire which may have been caused by an attack or arson.
Generally it will be the likes of Death Eaters who will have started it, but in case you have any other ideas, ask admin if you can arrange them.
Snatchers on Patrol.
Posting within this board is dangerous if you are a target of the Snatchers. If you are in this area while Snatchers are about, you are giving permission for your character to be captured or assaulted by Snatchers.
There will be some leeway given for threads that began before the icon appeared.
The appearance of this icon does not necessarily mean that characters in the area are aware of the Snatcher presence, so don't say things like "Oh, I heard there were Snatchers about, let's get going" when the icon appears.
Also, a reminder that the taboo on the name Voldemort means that anyone saying his name aloud reveals their presence and might summon Snatchers to them.
Death Eater attack. Quite simply, this means that they are attacking and causing trouble in the area publicly, having launched a Dark Mark into the sky.
Not the same as a Death Eater summoning, but any Death Eaters noticing the Mark are free to join the action.
Fatality. Someone has died in battle or otherwise.
This is the Ministry or other Aurors calling out to any remaining Aurors and Law Enforcers to hurry to the area in Defence against a Death Eater attack.
Someone may have sent a messenger Patronus to find aid.
If you are an Auror or Law Enforcer, it is your duty to respond to these calls.
Voldemort himself is in the area. Beware.
