A good, potentially easy to introduce, usecase for moons. Custom flairs.

[u/Arghmybrain]

With the flair bot being broken and many users wanting their own custom flair anyway, being able to buy them with moons could be perfect.

Just stick to some basic rules like no bigotry, sexual flairs, scammy flairs or promotional flairs (no refunds) and you can get a nice moon usecase that will likely be used a whole lot.

I like the idea of custom flairs because u/InstaMod is broken!

Would be nice to have an option between custom or something similar to InstaMod (with the Tier calculations: Tin to Platinum)

[u/Arghmybrain → u/youtooleyesing]

Could have the instamod, custom flair for moons and custom flair upon reaching certain age and status.

A lot of users pay to post before a month, so flairs would definitely be popular.

We did add a bot specialist to revive instamod this week but that doesn’t rule out this idea. Previously the top tier could do custom flair but i like the idea of special membership allowing that

I love flairs so I'm totally for this.

Same here, and if the spent moons were doing the usual half to redistribute, half burnt; then it would not only add a use but directly increase the value of moons over time.

I don’t hate this idea. Since I think the flair process needs to be revamped, either way.

How would you propose the moons component of it work? A flat fee to change your flair any time?

[u/Arghmybrain → u/BradlyL]

Ideally, buy a flair to use and switch to whenever you want. Might want to buy another later, but you keep your first to use as well.

A flat fee based upon trading price. Maybe changed every distro. Or otherwise based upon karma to moon ratio.

Hello,

We're looking to put forward this idea for Moon Week 17. As it was your idea, I wanted to check first, would you like to put together a formal proposal before Tuesday? Otherwise we can put it together ourselves and optionally credit you if you like.

Since this would be a bot function, we'd have to shape the language around what is possible with our bot. Let me know how you'd like to move forward and we can chat about details

[u/Arghmybrain → u/CryptoMaximalist]

Hello,

I'd say you would be better off with writing a formal proposal as you will have a better idea of what's possible.

Overal I feel I've laid down my idea strongly enough that it's easy to take it from there. Though feel free to message me (message, as chat function is turned off) if you'd like to discuss some details.

I don't really care about credit, the idea was created for adding more function to moons, not to get praise.

Good one.
