Can we get a notification if a red read a thread?

Many people complain about rito not reading the forums so I believe that if there was something to let us know if a red read the thread. For example, say RiotKateyKhaos decides to pop on a thread, a little box on the main post would appear saying that it was noticed.

Edit: to make it clear I'm not asking for a comment on threads. Just a small indication that the thread was read. It could just be a small check box, it could literally just be the words, "this was read" in the corner of the thread, next to the title bar. That's it.

Almost every thread would have a "read by a Red" notification. People who don't believe that they read the forums now will just assume that the notification was coded to show up in every thread.

Here's an excerpt:

{quoted}

We've discussed a "read by a Rioter" feature internally before.

There might be some drawbacks, though - simply acknowledging that we read something might not always a great experience for players. I worry it might feel almost dismissive, depending on the context. Acknowledging a bug report on the PBE forums? Definitely a good idea. But if a player has put a lot of effort into a really deep proposal or critique, I'm not sure simply knowing a Rioter acknowledged it is necessarily any better than receiving no response at all. It might feel like, "okay, Riot, but what do you think? What are you gonna do about it?"

I don't think this will be wised because if you place yourself in their shoes (lets say you were running a company that had million people invested into it ), and they saw when you looked at their complaint even if it was a stupid one or answered by another person, they would post and post and demand a response KNOWING you read it and most of the times they can't reply to certain questions without crossing a legal line or disclosing something they are working on. Example : How come skins can't be bought with IP .... Red post : we've thought of this and are looking into it .... > leads to people waiting for something that probably never happen and then complain later about it. Neither can they say NO they won't because they might in the future so why even respond to that.
