Everytime I see a red post, there's always that one person who wonders why they are posting in a joke thread but not in a more serious one. Riot then has to explain how not all posters have the same position. Wouldn't it be easier if each Rioter had a tag explaining what their position is?
Shynkle2 votesThey used to, on the old forums. They should really bring that back
Digivolve1 votesagreed bring the old forums back;D
Daen1 votesIf you hover over a Rioter's name on their post, it will show his/her title.
As far as general differentiation is concerned, this has actually been brought up multiple times with pretty significant community support. The Boards team seems to want all Rioters to be as visually indistinct as possible, and actually removed unique Rioter avatars in the transition from the forums to the Boards.

Hyrum Graff1 votesI'll add in here, that individual Rioter titles just make sense if you're looking to get rid of the community manager and empower individual rioters to post.
Riot has a mantra of "we don't want to post outside out areas of expertise." This is great. But from a player perspective, it doesn't quite jive with the "all rioters are the same" impression that Boards' visuals give.
