The Gold Septagon needs to go.

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.

  • I agree to an extent. I agree that I'll go in the thread for the simple fact there has been an employee who posted in it. I usually just want to know what he or she said. If it is a quality thread however I will go back to the OP (if I haven't already posted in said thread) and will read it over and perhaps reply. It doesn't need to go. I don't think it is a thread killer, if anything it's a thread booster. Yeah, you may get shallow replies, but it may draw the attention of someone who will post a quality reply.
