| Aug 9, 2021 at 18:47 | comment | added | Yaakov Ellis StaffMod | Thanks for all of the feedback. We are trying to go in the direction of avoiding (or at least minimizing) the use of standalone symbols that require more context/knowledge to understand their full meaning. | |

@Philippe Assuming the symbol is added to the Staff badge on the user card, it's quite difficult for someone to miss it. Users will learn to correlate that symbol with "this person is an employee" very quickly. I'm not saying that it's impossible for someone to see the symbol in the comments before in posts but I imagine that would be quite rare (seeing that we're talking about meta's, after all).

| Jul 29, 2021 at 12:55 | comment | added | Philippe StaffMod | Right.... I'm saying that I haven't jmade up my mind about this, but I do think that it could potentially cause confusion - the new users wouldn't know where to look to see what the symbols mean. | |

The second image shows the user card which could lead to confusion (this answer only focuses on comments).

Note that although my personal preference is using symbols everywhere, I'm only proposing using symbols in the comments section specifically to accommodate new users who might not be familiar with the symbols. | |

Do you think a ♢ white diamond suit with the staff color be a better option to seperate the blue-colored black diamond suit ♦ used for mods?

| Jul 28, 2021 at 20:49 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | I've added in an alternative option so that staff don't decline this on the basis of the specific markup proposal alone, and make it more clear that you're requesting a marker in general, not necessarily that specific one. | |

Add an alternative option, so this doesn't get declined on the basis of the proposed markup alone
