Move "update" to top of post for better clarity, add image of new badges

| Aug 13, 2021 at 6:14 | comment | added | John Omielan | @YaakovEllis Thank you to everyone responsible (I guess Aaron Shekey and Ben Kelly based on your question update and comment above) for the changes to the mod/staff labels appearance. For me at least, It's definitely a significant improvement compared to the original version. | |

| Jul 29, 2021 at 22:45 | comment | added | user1271772 | @zcoop98 actually it does, there's more than 15 million users on the network. According to your study, 1.14% of them participated in MSE in the last 6 months. Also check who's voting, posting and commenting; because in the end when they claim that the community wanted these extremely loud and uncalled for badges, they'll say "we told you about it and got a lot of upvotes, positive comments, and positive answers!" ... but those will be disproportionately from network mods (who in many ways will benefit from these badges) vs regular users (who in many ways won't). | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 22:40 | comment | added | zcoop98 | @user1271772 I did some number crunching; using SEDE and a trick to pull a list of all moderators on SE, I get a tally of 171,508 users that have accessed Meta.SE in the last 6 months, 469 of which are site moderators (Query). I... don't think that supports your claim about participation very well. | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 20:22 | comment | added | user1271772 | @YaakovEllis Did the community ask for that planned theme change? What if we don't like it, you don't care? Finally, if you disagree that the vast majority of participation here is from network mods, do you at least agree that it's true "proportionally speaking", meaning that versus the 15 million network users, mods have a disproportionate presence on MSE? | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 20:09 | comment | added | Yaakov Ellis StaffMod | @user1271772 the staff badge is from this request. The mod badge is part of planned theming changes in the system (though there are no definite plans at the moment to include them on main sites). They make sense to put into place together. And I do not agree that the best majority of participation here is from network mods. | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 19:20 | comment | added | user1271772 | @YaakovEllis No! We do not want the new mod badge to be making its way to main sites anytime in the future. No one ever asked for it in the first place. You said this was all "In response to the request..." but that was a request to add a STAFF badge not a MOD badge too. The community did not ask for this. Furthermore, while this post has some upvotes (and downvotes too), keep in mind that all of Meta.SE has a "bias" because the vast majority of the participation is from network mods. What network mods want here, is not necessarily the same as what the 15 million users want. | |

| Jul 29, 2021 at 8:23 | comment | added | Yaakov Ellis StaffMod | @V2Blast the new mod badge might be making its way to the main sites sometime in the future (no idea if/when). And you surmised correctly - the staff badge will not be shown everywhere on main sites like it is on meta. | |
| Jul 29, 2021 at 7:31 | comment | added | V2Blast | I love this change! And I think the display of the Mod and Staff text looks quite nice (but I'm not opposed to changes to the shades/colors used (and/or inverting the color fill). Though... Could the updated display of the mod diamond info (i.e. the "Mod" text) be displayed on mainsites too? I suspect most new users have no idea what the diamond means... Plus I think it just looks nicer. (I presume the orange Staff badge won't need to be visible on mainsites, though, since that info is usually irrelevant to anything a staff member might say on mainsite.) | |

| Jul 29, 2021 at 0:00 | comment | added | Ollie | Couldn't we just have blue and orange diamonds, or another jewel? (Mock-up coming later, possibly in the Tavern) | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 23:40 | comment | added | Rob | By the same token we could have [ 🪄 Dev ] badges, since Developers have a different set of "permission" (Tim?: 'Developers shouldn't moderate, even if they can'.) but have a Staff badge; which understates their permission and mis-states their role. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 23:30 | comment | added | Tomerikoo | Thanks for the clarification @Catija I assumed that staff automatically has mod abilities hence the double badge seemed redundant... | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:34 | comment | added | Catija StaffMod | There's a very important distinction, @Tomerikoo - Staff that are also moderators have additional abilities that other staff do not have. For example, they have all of the privileges of any site and access to all of the mod tools. Regular staff accounts do not. For the most part, they are limited in the same way that any user is (though there are some exceptions). Both distinctions are important for viewers, even if they aren't necessarily aware of what they are. | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 20:37 | comment | added | Tomerikoo | Is it just me or does putting Staff and Mod feels a bit redundant? I mean, personally seeing a Mod badge correlates more with elected mods. I think Staff already gives the required information. Is it really necessary to clutter with Mod as well? | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 19:13 | comment | added | Luuklag | With regards to stackexchange.com. Your network profile has neither a diamond nor a badge. The latter is by-design I read. And staff badges on network profiles is something I requested before I think. | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 18:59 | comment | added | Mast | Apparently there are 2 accounts called Yaakov Ellis, but they are not the same account or they would've been formatted the same. I know how that works, but why did you pick the same name twice for different accounts for a test picture? | |
