I've created a new mock up, because maybe my first attempt wasn't clear enough in conveying, what I propose.
The prefixes seem to be added by the software when the thread is marked with a particular tag, like "STICKY" is automatically added as a prefix to the thread name if a thread has the "STICKY" attribute added. Adding a new tag to deal with a new "Delisted" prefix is certainly possible in the technical sense (as in, I'm certain they can figure out how to do it if they spend enough time), I just don't know if the hours required would be approved by the decision makers. It might be a matter of "sure, let me toss a new tag in the list of possible tags, and add a couple lines of code to display them in the correct place in the ordering", or it might be a matter of "this is hard coded in six different places and trying to add a new one without breaking the interlinking is going to take weeks!".
I'm fishing for suggestions that use the current forum functionality (ie. no software changes) in case whoever makes resource allocation decisions doesn't approve adding some new feature or function to the forum code. For those interested in brainstorming, perhaps we can come up with something that whoever ends up writing a given delisting post can use to improve the forum and notification experience for the end users.
