<p dir="auto">I think most vandalism is caught fairly quickly so current status should be "good enough" most of the time. If something is old enough that their status has changed in the interim then the history of the modified elements can still be queried so see if it really was reverted later (as you might for a "mundane" contributor doing a revert).</p>

<p dir="auto">How about moving the icon right next to the name and use superscript (+some alt text):</p>

<p dir="auto">My concern with this is that with the ever-growing number of emoji there might be ones that could be confused with the "mod symbol" if you stick it on the end of an impersonation account. Separating it from the name by putting it after the date makes it clear that it's not attached to the username via some recently invented sequence of joiner characters but added by the system.</p>
<p dir="auto">An alternative would be to say "Moderator comment from USERNAME". but that degree of prominence might imply that they are <em>always</em> commenting in their capacity as a moderator, even if they're just making a comment out of personal interest. Grouping it with the useful information at the end doesn't have quite the same implication to me.</p>
