Why do the mods not get a symbol.
Honestly, if they had symbols next to the threads they posted in, it'd be a mess. Think about how often mods crack down on rule-breakers and usually post in their threads. Of course, a locked thread would cancel the symbol out, but not all threads the mods post in are locked afterward.
I agree, the locked symbol and the Golden Septagon could and should over-rule a mod posted symbol. But it would be nice (but could be cluttered, that would be a potential show-stopper) to see at a glance which threads had been visited by a moderator. It would make it easier for any mod to see what threads have been reviewed and which ones have not.
Or even have the special icon visible to mods only and have it overwrite the Golden Septagon for them (even a combined mod/employee icon could be implemented). It shouldn't be too difficult and could help keep the place organised.
Although, moderators, if drunk or under some similar influence, might review a thread and then forget all about it whilst a flame war rages uncontrolled.
