Default "Post Prefixes" for Mods forum threads...

I realize this isn't part of vBulletin but since this is a forum full of vb coders I'm sure it'd be possible if there was interest.

I believe a mod should be made (if one hasn't already) where we could implement "Post Prefixes" similar to "Thread Prefixes" but for posts... When you make a post in a mod thread you would be required to choose a prefix, such as:
  • Comment
  • Bug
  • Support
  • Thanks
  • Suggestion
  • Critical Issue
  • FYI
  • Update (for Mod Author Only)

This would make life easier for both coders and users... as a user I find a mod and it has hundreds, if not thousands of posts and I feel compelled to read them all before installing or asking a question... If I could filter the posts so I only read say ones marked as "Bug" or "Critical" I'm sure I could get through it much faster... Thanks are nice but as someone looking to download the mod I don't need to read 50 people thanking the author or a dozen people with sometimes absurd suggestions for making it better... I just want to see what problems people are having, if any.

Also as a mod author it would make supporting the mod easier as well, I could filter to see problems only and address them... if I'm feeling down I could look at only the "Thank Yous"- when I'm ready to upgrade I could quickly scan the "Suggestions"

I can't imagine Post Prefixes would be beyond the ability of a decent VB Coder and could really help.

If we wanted to get really fancy then we could choose what type of notification we get to subscribed threads so if I chose to get email notice of "Critical Issues" I could but all others were control panel notification only.

Also... I would give the mod author the option of changing a post prefix on any post in their thread- they could be best to tell if something is truly a bug or a support request or critical issue- not something they are required to do but they could keep posts properly filed if they wanted to.

Maybe "Critical" could be another one reserved for the author only then...

Don't get me wrong. I actually think it is a great idea. I think having them to be able to be filtered is an awesome idea also
