Highlight accounts of Jolla employees

I often get confused in forum discussions about the company/releases/updates: who is talking in an official capacity, who actually has some knowledge about the company, and who is just speculating? Of course, with time you get to know the people but for someone who just drops by every now and then things are very unclear. Especially because there are also some users with nicks that include “jolla”.

So I suggest that accounts of Jolla staff are somehow marked to make them more visible. I know they’re usually not speaking for the company but it still makes sense to highlight them. I also suggest to forbid “jolla” in usernames of non-staff.

The Signal users forum has this already:

So how about adding “-jolla” to usernames, and adding a group “Jolla staff” with a little badge?

You can check the badges when you click on the user avatar, jolla employers usually have “leader”

Sure, but that’s more a “probable guess” than something obvious - especially new users wouldn’t find that. Also, adding a suffix to the username would make it work in the SFOS Forum Viewer app.

So, we live special times nowadays. Just for instance J1, J2 etc acronyms accounts for offical company related. No need for who/what/where…

@szopin implemented this just yesterday in the forum viewer app. Thank you! :slight_smile:

However, it’s still something that I’d like to see changed in the forum so that it’s also available on the website.
