I'm splitting this out into a separate request thread, because I think it's a really good idea.
<old quotes and responses>It looks like you went through that thread to find employee posts. I just want to be clear that my post was about a year and a half before I was hired on here. (You can also see posts by Ross Byers when he *was* an employee [and directly worked on the website], but it doesn't look like it because he no longer has the golem icon.) Also, my post was more about consoling a friend of mine that arguing for or against an ignore feature. But, if you go further back on other threads on the topic you can find that I wasn't for it then.Heh. So at least my interpretation was not entirely inaccurate.
You guys should really consider locking in the Golem icon for posts made when people are employees, and not showing it from when they weren't. It gets pretty confusing when I'm looking at old stuff--like posts from Mark Moreland complaining that there wasn't a blog post on any given day.
I've encountered this myself, where the de-goleming (is that a word?) has led to confusion about what was an official response or not.
