@suzianne saidI'm no longer provisional, and my profile does not list me as a rated player. I have posted a query to Russ and await with baited breath the answer, ex cathedra.
Except that RHP's definition of "rated player" is one who has completed 20 games and can now have their games rated, i.e. they are no longer 'provisional', they are now 'rated'.
On HandyAndy's page, he has 6 icons. They are, from left to right: "First move", "Won a game", "1 rated game complete", "3 rated games complete", "Halfway - 10 rated games complete", and finally, ...[text shortened]... get. Once a player subs, then his consecutive years playing is noted by the ribbon icons, instead.

@divegeester saidThere were so few episodes, and many people were unsatisfied by the final episode where No. One is revealed. Still, it was a milestone is surrealist TV.
Thanks! Second postive comment on it. As I said to the other poster, I loved the series even though it failed to satisfy, and also the idea is a methaphor for my own life at times.

@suzianne saidAndy and I are both subs; his profile shows a ribbon with icons, incl. rated player; mine does not. Why the difference?

@moonbus saidIt's because I'm better looking than you.

Seriously, I let my RHP subscription lapse when I decided to take a hiatus from active chess.

@divegeester saidAnd when was Andy's last move? Come on, common sense donkey... just like the rest of the Brixet donkeys, no common sense 😉
Edit: for those players with it, it seems to replace the “playing for X consecutive years” badge.

@moonbus saidIt takes a certain character to carry off a ribbon.
