[Suggestion] - Give us topic "tags"

Well, I'm not fully against this change to the forums but I do see it as a problem since now the "role" forums will get cluttered with info that normally we wont care about - pushing the content we want farther down... For instance if a newb comes in and wants to know some specifics about rogues - he could normally just check the Rogue stickies and bam hes done... now he will have to filter through a lot more threads just to find it.

I think the ability to "tag" threads would be cool, as a web developer myself I know that the WoW boards are designed by Blizzard or an outside company because they are not your standard vbulletin, phpbb, or smf boards you see floating around most other sites. This wouldn't be a hard feature to add, and all it would have to do is add a "[Class]" on the left of the topic title... maybe color code it to the class's colors and then let a user filter the forums to this, so essentially we are all still in the same forum but it would let us filter threads easily...

So a sample of a Rogue related topic would look like this:
[Rogue] Whats better Assassination or Combat?

Anyways thats my suggestion take it or leave it just no sexleg plz.

That might be useful. We'll discuss it. We wouldn't want classes to completely ignore topics that didn't have their class post on them though.
