Feature request: color coding of usernames by reader-defined groups. User could specify group name/color via a CSS style with a common prefix. The extension would need to maintain a local database of usernames in each group. Enables visual highlighting of user comments and stories based on previous experience.

If there's an extension, maybe we could have a collaborative tagging system so we can see what other people have labelled the author as?
Potentially, although that gets into social networks, feedback loops, status dynamics, information warfare, reputation systems, voting rings, sock puppets and other fun topics :)

Step 1 would be private lists.

I have a related web extension idea that might be relevant: https://github.com/captn3m0/ideas/#-communities-browser-exte...
