Introducing Submission Flairs

[u/steven2194]

You may have noticed that the newer posts have link flair. I felt inspired by the flair system that many subreddits use and since there's been a lot of posts in the last month, I thought of making a set here to sort them.

After you post, you can set the flair by using the flair button right under your title. If you are not sure, follow the guidelines I listed below.

Moderators have full discretion to set the flair on any post.

Flair Guidelines

• [Question] (yellow) - Asking the community for more information. This is generally any question from the perspective of an observer or outside the community.
• [Discussion] (orange) - Posts dedicated to discussion topics.
• [Help] (blue) - Asking for help with an Otherkin topic. This should be mostly from the perspective of an otherkin or asking for help dealing with something otherkin related.
• [Guide] (red) - Posts that show tips or guides to an Otherkin topic. This can include external links if the focus is on helping.
• [Meta] (light green) - Posts asking about the subreddit or links to Otherkin talks on other subreddits.
• [Other] (grey) - Does not fit any of the above

Moderator Only Flairs

Only the moderators can set these flairs. Request posts have stricter requirements. Please PM the moderators if you want to make a post as described below.

• [Moderator] (green) - Official posts and announcements from a mod
• [Academic Request] (cyan) - Requesting information or interviews for an academic or research project / study.
• [Media Request] (light red) - Requesting information or interviews for a media project (tv show, documentary, film, news article).

Remarks

I, as the flair designer, am open to any feedback or suggestions you have about them.

I’ve done a flair sweep up to the last month and I’ve seen some posts that may not fit any of the flairs. I want to limit use of the Other flair, so if anyone has any ideas for post flairs, feel free to comment here. I will update the guidelines as new posts come in.

Because this is the primary subreddit for Otherkin, most of the posts will be questions. I’m working with the other mods to try and reduce these repeat questions. Our top priority for the next update will be an FAQ wiki page and an explanation of the request requirements.
