I've gone right off the subscriber heart against my name in forum posts. My forum posts aren't any more interesting, witty or relevant than those from non-subscribers (some might say less so), but the heart almost implies that those posts are higher priority than the others. Labels for staff makes sense, they generally are more relevant than us mere Glitches, but the hearts just seem like a distraction...
See what I mean? This post wasn't that interesting, witty or relevant...
