A question mark (?) appeared beside my points. What does it mean?

A question mark (?) appeared beside my points. What does it mean?
@fklausner It means that your rating is not established yet. You need to play more games. Hope this helps.
Also @fklausner this question in answered in the FAQ, forum etiquette says not to ask question answered in the FAQ.
Strange that info like: FAQ, Terms of Service , Contact etc does not have a menu item on top, next to Tools for example. Why hide it under a chessboard down to the left and in small font if they want people to read it?

Edit: apparently it's in the red box when you want to make a post. I haven't really noticed it in years. Maybe because it was in Swedish for me and I would be looking for "FAQ" not "vanliga frågor". And also, if you have a question and can't find the FAQ so you go to comment, you're probably already thinking about what to write and not looking for the FAQ anymore.

Anyway, just found how to change the language so finally I won't be seeing the horrible eyesore in the Swedish captcha "Checkmate on a move" anymore! :)
(should be "Matt i ett drag" i=in just like in English)
But u have 668 games played in blitz and yet, have a question mark?! It must be a different issue.
@fklausner it is because you haven't played rapid in a long time, lichess thinks you forgot how to play chess even though that is not true.
@PranavBobbySekhar it is because they are either casual, or because he hasn't played in so long that his rating deviation has decreased over time. Rating deviation is at its highest (45.00) when the user is constantly playing that time control, while it is deemed provisional once it surpasses 110.00 (i.e. inactive). Rating deviation increases the less games one plays as their rating doesn't represent their true skill if they aren't playing anymore. Hope this helped.
