Request for icons/profile display

I do realise the website is going through a transition and a re-write of sorts, so I am not sure when this is coming but I do have a suggestion.

I know the karma situation is sort of getting re-done, but I have a request to keep in consideration.

For the future re-design/branding whatever it's called, can you return the icons of the karma rating and also have a visual reminder (sort of like a logo) in the persons profile in the forum?

Also, I think it would be useful and beneficial if you had an icon, or an image that highlighted under the users avatar something that said "BA Supporter", for those who might be subscribers?

There's also other things that could be done, it would be neat to see the glassware icons again under certain peoples avatars in the forum also. There is also some information about location, but also it seems to only contain also the words either Member or Site Admin, and both are in the same font and color and size, and something either more distinct to quickly identify a different user from a moderator (like an icon or graphic image/text etc...).

I suggest this since this is a common practice in many other forums that identifies senior users, and supporters of the site. Currently the only way it has been easy to remember users is of course a username and an avatar (so long as it isn't changing all the time). It would also highlight quickly and easily who the new members are.

I am not sure if this is something you have thought of considering, but I am putting it out there cause it would make the forums and the site a lot better I feel. The tools are there I am sure, but I also know it's a matter of what is a priority staff will work on first or consider neccesary. But it would be a great enhancement I think.

Just putting the idea out there. Thanks.
