The leaf indicates you're a new member, similar to the sprout icon for that Final Fantasy mmo.

Could be worse- before it was a leaf, it was a warning exclamation mark, basically telling people on this website to be wary and cautious of new members. Which was such a horrid design back then.

ohhhhh thanks for telling me i was a bit confused about it and yes that horrid deign choice back then sounded bad

It was bad back then! But every once in a while FA will actually show competence and do something good, lol.

Aw, dang. O.O; Can't blame them for being as cautious as hell, though, given how there are some seriously screwed up people online, even for websites like FurAffinity or DeviantArt.

How long does it last after setting up?

I think no more than 14 days at most. 7-10 days I believe. Somewhere in that time-frame.

It means that you are new here.

this helped i didn't know what is

than u for asking this, did not know that

yes, it’s like what discord is doing

This helps a lot to those who don’t know much about the website , glad someone stepped up to ask
