Due to the influx of individuals asking for flair in the mod mail, we are posting this friendly reminder on flairs.

It is so painfully obvious that many of you have not read the handbook or the Flair Guide.

The Flair Guide explains how flairs are assigned here at FDS. However for simplicity sake, I've gone over them below for you.

Ruthless Strategists are mods on FDS. Please do not argue with decisions or with our content. I bring this up because people try and report mod posts all the time not knowing the ruthless strategist flairs are mod only. The mods work tirelessly to make FDS a safe and enjoyable place to be.

FDS Newbie is a flair that is assigned to users who have accounts more than 30 days old and have provided some acceptable comments.

FDS Apprentice is a flair assigned to users who have differentiated themselves in some way, as well as post quality comments and posts. It is obvious that this user is working on bettering themselves and levelling up.

FDS Disciple is a flair assigned to individuals who have well written, thought out posts and comments. These posts are usually highly upvoted.

FDS Strategy Coach is the highest flair you can get. If you've been assigned an FDS Strategy Coach flair, congratulations! You've constantly provided high quality content and beneficial advice to other users of FDS. Strategy coaches are a very important part of the community.

At-Risk Pick Me Youth is assigned when users begin submitting questionable comments, multiple reports, low quality content, or arguing with mods. The beginning stages of a Pickmeisha, but early enough to be salvageable.

PICKMEISHA flair is assigned based on questionable comments and interactions with other users, multiple reports, low quality content, or arguing with mods.

Flairs are a privilege, not a right.

We have dozens of new users to flair each day, and we are managing our mod duties while balancing our normal lives. Please do NOT message mod mail asking for flair. Consistently messsaging mod mail asking for a flair or asking why your flair has been changed will result in a ban. Flairs are given at the discretion of moderators on FDS and their individual judgement.

I hope this post clears up some confusion. Please let me know if you have any questions.
