Make reposts easier to identify

[Tierney Coren]

Reposts are less than obvious right now. I often mistake a repost for the original in a few different situations, and so it'd be great if reposts were (much) more obvious. The main suggestion I have is to put the the name of the person who reposted before the name of the original poster with the repost symbol in-between, like so: &! (bitandbang) <repost icon> Marco

Repost are identified as such with "<symbol here> Repost".

I don't think adding more information is necessary, as the idea behind a repost is to expose the original post to more people, not telling "I reposted this".

I'm open to discuss the subject.

I guess my main problem is that it is currently hard to differentiate between a repost and a regular post. If you could put "Marco <repost icon> Repost" at the top of the post I think the issues I have with this would be solved (if that's not what you've already done). Not sure if that's the best solution, though.
