Feature Office Outlaw's Highlights Explained

[Zwielicht]

No, not those kinds of highlights!

I mean these kinds of highlights:

Browsing around Office Outlaw, you've likely seen some posts in threads that have this highlight feature.

This highlight feature can be used on posts or threads.

Thread highlights are typically only applied to threads that are featured in the newsletter. However, if enough members either submit a support ticket or send in a report requesting for a thread to be highlighted, our moderators may highlight the thread at their discretion.

Post highlights are applied to posts by administrators and moderators for one or more of the following reasons:

• The content was well-thought-out and detailed.
• The content has a high reaction score to relative to other posts in the thread.
• The content answers a question that the thread started was asking.

We wanted to make this a more community-oriented feature, although our add-on turned out to be a little more limited than we expected. Even still, we're always on the lookout for posts to highlight, so we encourage our Outlaws to continue posting helpful and engaging content.

If you're a member and you want to recommend that a post or thread is highlighted, simply use the report button or go to the support desk and select the subcategory "Recommend a Highlight" under "Content".

March 4, 2026 The "Bans & Notices" section has just been changed to "Banned Members". As such, we've also removed the automatic threads that are created when notices are issued. After trying this out, we realized that this in particular might be humiliating to existing members, which we don't...
