I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but today I've noticed some tropers have a little blue spanner next to their usernames. What does this mean?

Amonimus and I just became engineers. It means we're like mods but we're only doing the grunt work, such as approving videos and moving threads.

They're engineers. Basically, they have access to some of the tools that mods have (hooking and unhooking crowners for example) but are not full-fledged mods in and of themselves. This was recently implemented, though I can't point to where right now, as I forget where it was announced.

Edit: [nja] by 5 seconds.

The engineer position is one return to ye olde days of the wiki that's very much appreciated.
