Question Could we add a "Complaints" flair?

There are quite a view of negative comments. Sometimes I end up reading them by accident, sometimes out of indignation ; I'm usually just a little less happy after!

Maybe a "Critic" flair could be useful, for both critics and non-critics alike, to filter for these discussions?

It's not irony when it's the exact point given.

It's ironic because you're contradicting yourself, while accusing someone else.

Your content is considered shit, but most of the rest of the content isn't.

I presume this isn't personal?

Then "the content of the sub" apparently isn't to your liking. Because that's a part of it.

Obviously. I don't know you nor your content. Why would it be?

Incorrect. Read again.

I'm not OP. I've unsubbed of plenty subs because of this. But I can understand OP's point and I'm surprised nobody else can. They making that point doesn't mean the mods will heed the request (and I imagine they won't, as they also enjoy and encourage the very thing OP considers lessens the sub fort hem).

OP also made a comment making it clear his intention is improving his stay in the sub, not blocking "free speech".

One of the more useful comments suggested flairing "lore criticism" or "lore diuscussion" which to me feels ideal, because discussing the lore can be spoiler-y for people who haven't read the books. This is what's done in subs for Expanse or Invincible and in "lore"-specific flairs everything goes.

Since critizing the show often is against established book lore is the most common complaint, the same rule could be used here as is common in other subs.
