There have been questions on our flair system and I just wanted to clarify a few points:

Generally the PickMeisha and “Pick Me Probation” is assigned based on questionable comments and interactions with other users, multiple reports, low quality content, or arguing with mods. It’s also a way for mods to track users in case we suspect them of being trolls.

 

Everybody is in different stages of development, and we’d like to differentiate the users you probably shouldn’t listen to for advice because it’s consistently terrible or low quality from the ones who have solid consistent and extensive quality content (FDS Strategy Coach).

 

• ⁠Ruthless Strategist is a Mod-only Flair.

• ⁠FDS Newbie is the flair everyone new gets assigned by default until they differentiate themselves.

• ⁠FDS Apprentice - is someone newish and is in the process of leveling up/working on themselves or has inconsistent comments.

• ⁠FDS Disciple - consistent quality comments, 1 or 2 trending posts or highly upvoted posts.

• ⁠FDS Strategy Coach - multiple top rated top quality posts, consistently high quality highly upvoted comments, gives consistently solid advice.

 

That being said it’s not an exact science and is based on all the individual mods’ judgement. We have to flair dozens of new users a day in order to give them commenting access so mistakes will be made. Just continue commenting as normal and we’ll adjust it over time.

 

If you’re hell bent on changing your flair, from “Newbie” or “PickMeisha” then message the mods and we’ll review for content. All other flairs will be assigned solely at our discretion.
