I can't be the only one that enters a thread just because it has a yellow Septagon next to it, right? Disregard any post quality, *scroll scroll scroll* until I see the wall of gold text gleaming upon my face. Do you know why this is a bad thing? Well, you see, once a thread has been graced by the presence of a Bungie drone, any and all members of the community tend to turn their focus towards the gold text rather than staying on topic.
Instances where you'll notice this is when members quote a Bungie employee just to quote someone of a higher presence. This, is, and should be, equal to spam. And it should be treated as such. A solid majority of the time when an Employee posts in threads, it's not even of quality. I'd possibly say it's on par with your average Heroic member.
My final proposal is that we replace the golden Septagon with something a little less flamboyant and more suitable. Something that won't make me feel like a dog chasing cars. This is the part where I call upon the community. It's your job to come up with better ideas to replace the Septagon with. Heck, even a simpler color change will do. I digress, I'll leave my ideas for later and I'll simply let the community discuss this.

No I like it. It is nice to know that Bungie employees still take an active role in the forums, instead of just forgetting about us when the next game comes out. Also, a thread with the Gold Septagon next to it is usually a thread of some value, as it 'inspired' the employee to actually post a reply. Whether it be a particular issue that might help me out, or something of general interest. I think it should stay. (Maybe a poll would have been useful in this thread).
