Admin Icon - Give Admins a better way to identify themselves

Follow
Nelly
The idea is that admins could have a small bubble (an icon) added to their profile picture (or name, for the compact view) to quickly display that this user is an admin, withing the actual chat without looking at the member list. The bubble could be either a custom picture in a very small resolution (hence it being an icon) or a preset (colors, forms, e.t.c.) which can be activated or deactivated for the server. It could be displayed either at the top left, top right, bottom left or bottom right of the profile picture. I ever felt like it could be easier to quickly identify who has admin rights and who not, especially on big servers where, if you are in a hurry, you may or not may be able to instantly see exactly that. It is just a small addition, the fact that it could be activated or deactivated within the server settings also means that it is no forced change. So a pure addition ^^

    Usefull for servers with lots of roles. A good idea and I would like to see it.

    It should probably go to the side of usernames like the bot badge does

    Brilliant suggestion, this would be brilliant.

    Maybe even make it a permission for roles - Manage Badges

    This would be helpful in preventing people from attempting to impersonate staff

    While this is a great idea that I fully support, I think that the number of roles you can apply a custom icon to should be restricted, to avoid abuse and performance issues both server-side as well as on client devices.

    currently (Version 9.5.1) it is a hastle to identify admins in servers unless you click to their mini profile, this would be a good thing to implement!

    It would be easier if they made the crown easier to toggle back on and not have it rely on whether you have another role with the administrator permission or not, because it's not always overtly apparent if a role has such permissions

    I think It's going to be very helpful and very good look.

    We could take this idea even further and propose something more general: Badges. Like the HypeSquad et. al. badges that you have on your profile, but server specific that display under your username. There's currently wasted space under the username in the "Cozy" chat appearance, next to a user's avatar. Badges can go there.

    This could look like the Nitro Boosting badge but with an extention in the cat. And so add an Admin badge and a Mod badge.
