---- Does adding "Solved" reduce rankings?

I have a discussion forum where a moderator has asked if I can add a prefix option that says Solved. The idea is to mark threads as solved so other don't need to participate in them anymore.

Before: Fixing Widget issue

After: [Solved] Fixing Widget issue

If I add this feature, I can see how it would benefit users of my forum. However, since I have added another word to the thread title, it will also affect the page title (which defaults to the thread title).

Do you think this will adversely affect rankings for each thread, since the word Solved will be an added word and so dilute the match?

Thanks,

Jon
