If you see a company name (instead of member status like "junior member") under someone's username, it means two things:
1. That person works for the firm shown under his name.
2. The firm is a sponsor of this site, which affords them the priviledge of participating on the boards, which includes answering questions about their firm, announcing new products/services, etc.
If a person comes on the boards promoting their products/services and a company name is not shown below their username, that person/company is not authorized to be advertising anything on this site, and their posts should be considered as SPAM.
We just decided that this was the best way for all users to distinguish between those firms which are supporting this site and those that are simply trying to freeload.
