I’ve been playing with mattermost a bit and noticed that posts are not currently marked as having been posted by a specific user - the only element inside a post that identifies the poster is the UserProfile component deep inside the post component tree, so it would be very nice if a component tagged its top

 with a class like "post\_\_wrapper " for easy chat log filtering: some things that this would unlock:
- hard/soft ignore lists
- hard/soft ‘never miss…’ lists
- hiding everyone-but-X posts to find information in the backlog
- probably more things that I don’t need on a daily basis and so haven’t thought of yet =)
