Except only janitors can flair posts. Users will not be able to flair posts. Paypigs will not be able to flair posts. You cannot sort by flair. You cannot filter by flair. You cannot omit by flair. This will never change.
Flairs in the traditional sense are FRICKING STUPID and hamstring future growth into the Hole-model if users can use them, or if they’re searchable, or filterable, or any such thing. They will regress us into the Reddit-derivative domain. This will not happen.
I did not even want to make this announcement because stupid people will ask for these stupid things, but they would anyway once they started to notice catty flairs from the cleaning crew. So I am getting ahead of the curve.
Now that you’ve been warned: If you request sort/search/filter/user-selected post flairs I will ban you.
