Hi all.

First post ever on discourse. I’m not sure if this has been discussed before.

I’m a user from one of the derivations of discourse and wish there were an icon for “OP” after their username. Something similar to R\*ddit. In a long thread, we often lose who the original poster is and lose the poster’s viewpoint.

Thank you!
