There was always the intention to allow mods to insert a random message in a topic as a staff member, with the yellow background.

We never quite got there, and very few people ask for it.

It would be nice though since on [bbs.boingboing.net](http://bbs.boingboing.net) the mods do periodically post in topics to warn everyone that things are going off track – having that in the yellow “hey this is an official message not just me talking to everyone” staff color would definitely be useful since

- it would be more visible
- it would make it clear that “mod voice” was on
