Highlight the creator's own comments underneath their entries and blog posts #562

Like Reddit has the microphone icon an a boldface name to highlight the OP. This is useful. Should we highlight the entire comment (e.g. with a different background colour) or just their name?

I like the Reddit-like name highlighting, the entire comment would be too much I think

I spent too long looking for a fitting icon (The microphone is not in the free font awesome pack, and not even that appropriate...). I went with a different metaphor.

Nice! Just having anything is way better than nothing, so I don't want to start a big bikeshedding discussion. So consider the icons below as inspiration :)

There are two microphones in the free pack, albeit with a different style than Reddit's: https://fontawesome.com/icons/microphone?style=solid https://fontawesome.com/icons/microphone-alt?style=solid

Something that says "boss": https://fontawesome.com/icons/crown?style=solid

Or more like "creator": https://fontawesome.com/icons/brain?style=solid https://fontawesome.com/icons/pen-fancy?style=solid https://fontawesome.com/icons/user-edit?style=solid

Or something abstract and neutral: https://fontawesome.com/icons/splotch?style=solid

The available microphones made me think too much of audio channels/mute buttons and the likes... I think my favorite is pen-fancy, maybe even pen-nib. I dismissed pens as too close to the edit buttons we have, but that particular style does say "author" more than "edit" I guess. crown is okay too, I considered chess-king but not that one.

Thank you for repainting the bikeshed ;)
