Give past GT players special profile marker

[bhoffman123]

One of the things I love about this board is the number of past GT players who participate in the discussions. I find their insight and perspective especially interesting. There have been a number of times that I didn't realize a poster was a past player until some side reference is made on a separate thread.

Any chance we can give past players a special profile marker so that they can be honored accordingly? Im not sure whats possible but at a minimum give them a title similar to the moderators. Even better would be an identifier or badge on their profile pic or name.

I may be wrong but I think there is already a "GT Athlete" identifier, which I think applies to past players.

I don't think all have the GT Athlete identifier. Perhaps they need to let Eric or mods know to update that for them???

 

[Eastman]

What about an "I wish I could have played for TECH" identifier? I would like one of those!

It may be the case that some would prefer to just be fans.

Yup, I know Ibeeballin has it (whoever he is), not sure who else does though.

@bhoffman123 - we have a tag as mentioned by others and shown below.

If there are GT athletes out there that don't mind a little recognition, please let us know! Just direct message or report this post.

@CuseJacket ,
What does the blue check mean? Is it just part of the tag? Would be cool if it could be an icon indicating what sport they participated in

Just part of the tag. Interesting suggestion - defer to @John on feasibility.

Like Twitter, just mean a verified account

If they are identified it might keep me from saying something stupid about football in front of them.

Doubt it
