Excuse my noobness, but I have this bronze/gold hammer beside my name, and I have seen it on a few other names too, what does it exactly mean? I've always wondered what it was every since I lurked around the site before joining. It's in every section I am in, so I am assuming that it is not related to badges.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

It means you have more than 5 badges(either bronze,silver or gold)
I just checked your profile and you have 5 bronze badges,so you'll get a bronze hammer on top of your name :D

It should also be pointed out that the hammer is there no matter what section you're in, unlike the badges.

How come I don't see these hammers beside people's names?

I have seen them in screen shots but can't see one right now.
