I have a category where goat-farmers create their personal pages (= topics) about their farms. Those topics quickly become 300+ messages and engage comparatively many participants.

For this category only, I’d like to specify a “topic owner title” that would appear next to their nickname.

It is important that the title is customizable and activable individually per category. Fot instance, I eould only use this feature with a few catefories, and make a different topic author title in each of the categories.

Pther examples:

- question author
- tutorial author
- poll author
- wikipage moderator (so called moderator, actually the owner of a huge wiki-page)
- review author
- farm owner
- car seller
- organization representative

An optional (and separate) setting might be a checkbox saying “highlight topic author”, which would also highlight author’s avatar in some way.
