| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:07 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @YaakovEllis I don't think the completed tag is correct here. This request asks for it for all sites, and doesn't specifically mention meta sites, and since it hasn't rolled out on the main sites yet, it's not complete. | |

| Jun 24, 2021 at 15:32 | comment | added | Kevin B | @EmilJeřábek i mean... that'd be a whole lot of work, when there's already a "staff" flag that could be used for this purpose. | |
| Jun 24, 2021 at 15:31 | comment | added | Emil Jeřábek | @KevinB Which immediately suggests a solution: create a collective for SO employees. (Unfortunately, this would only work on SO, not other sites in the network such as here.) | |

| Jun 23, 2021 at 18:47 | comment | added | Kevin B | funny how it's easier to tell someone's part of a "collective" than it is to tell they're employed by SO | |

| Feb 21, 2020 at 14:14 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | I've already requested this in the top answer to Employee profiles are now marked with a “Staff” indicator - that happens to be my top-voted answer on this site | |

| Feb 21, 2020 at 13:58 | comment | added | user1306322 | @Jenayah that is definitely a related issue, but that is only visible if you go inside the user profile. I am asking to add something that is always visible near a user's name - on the user card and in comments. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 13:58 | comment | added | hat | @Jenayah too late, this already has the status-review and all. I don't see the point in closing it as this stage. | |

| Feb 21, 2020 at 13:48 | comment | added | Jenayah | Possible duplicate of Can we have a square or triangle or heart or *something* after employees' names? - was marked as completed after the introduction of the staff indicator, but it's the same request and a new answer should belong to this previous one (actually a better course of action may have been to bounty the earlier one with an update request) | |

| Feb 21, 2020 at 13:24 | comment | added | JFoxx64 | There have been at least two instances where non-moderator staff have posted recently I've seen and on the face level no indication that they are staff (before reading and/or looking at their profile) it just looked like any other user. Of course reading provided more information and checking their profile showed they were staff but I agree that having some indicator, if no where else than on Meta, would be helpful. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 13:22 | comment | added | Cindy Meister | @YaakovEllis Yes, I can see definite down-sides to having everything display on a Main site vs Meta. Especially when it involves "plain" Q&A (as opposed to moderator / staff operations). | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 13:12 | comment | added | Luuklag | Also see meta.stackexchange.com/a/331658/361484 | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 11:02 | comment | added | V2Blast | Even if not displayed this way, I think it would be a definite improvement to have staff be visually identified - the hexagon could go where the diamond inconsistently appears now. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 11:02 | comment | added | user1306322 | Most of the time, yes, but also how often does a staff member participate on non-meta sites? Maybe it's worth paying special attention to their posts? Not sure. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 11:01 | comment | added | Yaakov Ellis StaffMod | Also, some titles are long. And an argument can be made that at least on non meta sites it is completely irrelevant in you are an employee or not | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 11:00 | comment | added | user1306322 | And this is for all sites on the network, as it is useful to know if a user is an authoritative source on a meta policy. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 10:59 | comment | added | user1306322 | Diamond should indicate only one thing − moderator privileges. If there is another level of user access, then it should be its own symbol, in addition to the moderator diamond, to make it clear when a user has one or the other or both. I guess I didn't think of how it looks in the comments where you don't get to see a usercard, hmm. Maybe just the hexagon or another symbol would suffice there. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 10:59 | comment | added | Josef | @YaakovEllis I would add this to all the staff on all the websites. And also for mods. So it is clear that anyone with this new hexagon or whatever is staff, anyone else isn't. | |
| Feb 21, 2020 at 10:57 | comment | added | Yaakov Ellis StaffMod | Are you suggesting this for all sites or only MSO and MSE? What if they are also employee mods - diamond and hexagon? | |
