this is about as nitpicky as it gets, a nitpick in an image description

| Jul 29, 2021 at 7:01 | comment | added | V2Blast | Correction: Apparently the above display changes are only applied on Meta sites, at the moment, not the main sites - New Staff and Mod Labels on site metas and Meta Stack Exchange | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 6:49 | comment | added | V2Blast | Related (completed) feature request: Add an immediately visible indication that a user is a staff member or an employee of SE - The diamond now has a "Mod" text explanation next to it, and there's a visible orange "Staff" badge next to the staff member's username everywhere as well. | |

| Aug 6, 2019 at 20:40 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @Ruslan The general reasoning is explained in an Area 51 discussion here: area51.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/20988/… | |
| Aug 6, 2019 at 15:14 | comment | added | Ruslan | @Catija is it a technical limitation allowing only four language-specific SOs? | |
| Aug 6, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @pix There is no French Stack Overflow at all. We only have Stack Overflow sites in Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Japanese. At this point we're unable to support more languages. | |
| Aug 6, 2019 at 14:36 | comment | added | pix | Russian Meta? where is the french one??? ru.meta.stackoverflow.com/q/9394/15479 | |
| Aug 6, 2019 at 8:25 | comment | added | Rob Grant | @rogerdpack I would definitely want to (and want SE to) differentiate between people who are staff and people who have experience on a site. | |
| Aug 6, 2019 at 5:45 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @Mast I'm pretty sure they are... doesn't mean people can't find a way around it. | |
| Aug 6, 2019 at 5:42 | comment | added | Mast | @Catija Might be a good idea to put those characters on a blacklist somewhere. Now you've mentioned it, just wait till people try it. | |

Minor clarification
|
| Aug 2, 2019 at 4:15 | comment | added | Ryan | You said your goal was "Clearing up confusion", but the diamond symbol is super confusing because when I hover over it, the tooltip says Moderator, but there is also a tag saying Moderator. So it feels either redundant or unclear what the difference is between the tag and the diamond symbol. | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 18:29 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @rogerdpack Hmmm. Well, if you're talking about me, I had most of my reputation on MSE before I worked here. :D | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 17:39 | comment | added | rogerdpack | @Catija Yeah I was referring to employees on meta. Not sure if that's exactly the same as "staff" or not... | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 17:02 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @rogerdpack I'm not quite sure what you mean. We don't generally get paid to use the site (with the exception of meta). | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 16:58 | comment | added | rogerdpack | I've never understood "users with high reputation" that are also staff...it's like, yes, we get paid to do this, look at all of our reputation! | |

| Aug 1, 2019 at 12:28 | comment | added | Catija Staff | @CaiusJard It's not completely redundant. The diamond is kinda part of the username and (I think) it's not impossible for someone to find a way to add the symbol to their username. If so, the label is further proof that can't be faked. | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 12:24 | comment | added | Caius Jard |
So the combinations we see in the profiles could be: Is staff, is not mod UserX [Staff], Is staff, is mod UserX♦ [Staff][Moderator], Is not staff, is mod UserX♦[Moderator] ? Does this mean the [moderator] label is a redundant re-statement of the diamond?

| Aug 1, 2019 at 12:09 | comment | added | Journeyman Geek Mod | @CaiusJard not all staff members need a mod diamond but could be speaking for the company | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 12:04 | comment | added | Nouman | But not all moderators are staff? | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 10:43 | comment | added | Caius Jard | So diamond means "staff or moderator" and the label clarifies which? Or if "The primary purpose of the diamond is to indicate the moderators" then the moderator label is redundant if the diamond is present? | |

| Aug 1, 2019 at 7:57 | comment | added | ChrisF Mod | @Catija - do you want to add an answer here - meta.stackexchange.com/questions/310518/… - and I can mark it [status-completed] (or at least as completed as it's going to be) | |
| Aug 1, 2019 at 7:36 | comment | added | Sinatr | This is a good thing. Sometimes I see an answer on meta from low rep user which looks very confusing, like some stranger suddenly start talking "we" and "us". Now his profile will contain "stuff" (or not). Even more better would be to see employee status without having to visit profile please. | |
