Post flair is a special tagging system that you can choose to enable for your community. Post flair allows mods and community members to create a visual flag for tagged content. It can be used to help categorize post content types, flag content about a certain subtopic of your community, tag a post with removal reasons, or anything else you think might be useful. You can add up to 350 custom post flair templates.

Clicking on post flair in a post listing will bring you to a search result page that displays all posts that have been assigned that particular flair.

Post Flair Settings

Enable post flair in this subreddit if you'd like to use the tagging system in your community.

Allow users to assign flair to their posts if you have flair or other posting requirements and would like users to have the ability to categorize and tag their content.

Adding and Editing Flair

You can choose to:

add flair

reorder your existing flair

or select existing flair to edit

Add New Post Flair

Flair text is where you enter the text for the user flair and any emojis you'd like to display inside the flair. The emojis can be selected by clicking on the smiley face icon. Be sure to go to the emoji management tool and enable emojis before setting up flairs with emojis in them.

Add flair background allows you to enable and select the color behind your flair text.

Text color is where you can choose to have dark or light text, depending on which is more visible on the background color you choose for the flair.

Flair Settings

Mods only should be enabled if this is a special flair that only moderators should be able to apply to posts, such as removal reasons.

Allow users to edit text should be enabled only if you'd like users to be able to change the text on this particular flair when they choose to apply it. You can choose to restrict it to allow only emojis, allow only text, or to allow both. You can also limit the number of emojis that can be used.

Post appearance

Enabling "edit post appearance" when adding or editing flair gives you access to several customization options for flaired post listings, including:

post title color

post background color

post background image

and the thumbnail placeholder

Assigning Flair

To assign flair to a post, click the tag icon in your toolset beneath the post. This appears directly after the spam tool. If you do not have mod mode on, you can still access post flair options by clicking on the moderator shield icon beneath the post.
