OnLive employee notification

[Warren]

Is it possible to have a little notification similar to the tags or deleted post tags to indicate that there's a response from an official OnLive employee in that thread?

For example, Firefall's forums have a Red5 icon next to thread subjects showing that a developer has responded in the thread.

Is this type of thing possible with this forum software?

Much like the blue tagging on Blizzard forums its totally possibly, it does bring with it some issues though

If you can find a Vbulletin plugin or mod I'd be happy to install it.

As alluded to earlier though, you run the risk of suffering from "Blue Plz" syndrome as experienced by Blizzard, in that these highlighted threads get a lot more traffic and may well attract people spamming unrelated questions in these threads just because someone from OnLive once posted in them, along with possibly detering OL from posting as their response are now covered in giant neon signposts. It is an awesome feature though :D

Any way to let the OnLive employee turn it on and off? That way if he or she just want to participate in a thread, they can without getting mobbed.
