Identify employees versus users versus moderators, etc...

Post by LaughingBoy »

It would be nice to be able to identify which users are in technical authority (ie: employees of Innotek), rather than users who are speculating on things.

Most Innotek employees have a company signature at the bottom.

Most forums have an indication for the users to who is a forum admin, moderator, or other classification. If a user has a query, and Joe.Bloggs answers, he might not know if that's just someone making something up, or if they are an Innotek member it might be a more reliable source.

Questions like "What is included in the next release :?: " can be answered by anyone from statements like "I heard it would include feature X", to "Feature X would be included". If it's not from an Innotek staff member, statements could lead to misdirected anger of "Why was feature X included like you said it would :?: "

Just one example...
