Board Thread:Consensus Track/@comment-1251315-20160614141442

Hey there.

I was looking at a thread and noticed that a moderator was asking users to repeatedly get back on topic, but was being ignored and after a while, the thread was closed. This got me thinking and I looked through some other closed topics and noticed similar issues whereby mod posts seemed to be getting ignored by the member base.

So I came up with an idea: why don't we put in some code that places a "background colour" on all moderator posts? And if this works for mods, should this get extended to sysops?

The colour would be a very light blue so that it's not blatantly obvious, but not so light that the highlight has no meaning. There wouldn't be any way to "restrict" the highlights to specific boards, though it might be possible to place an exclusions list whereby the highlight has no effect in specific boards (Announcements and Consensus Track come to mind for this...)

Discuss below. :)
