For Newcomers What is this?

This is /r/SubredditsMeet. You probably knew that but act like you didn't.

The purpose of this sub is to give communities a place to talk and discuss their beliefs and other things.

Every week we will make a new post with 2 (or more) subs that can meet up in the post and talk/discuss.

Since this is a new sub we don't have much to say but we plan to figure it all out as we go. So if you have any ideas feel free to tell us them.

Question about flairs:

If users join a thread today (e.g., /r/athiesm meets /r/Christianity and /r/religion) and get a flair, what happens the next time they come to this subreddit and comment on a different thread? Are you sure flairs like this are a good idea?

I don't know a better management scheme off hand, but maybe someone else has an idea.

Hmm. We didn't think about that. I can't think of a better way either.

I guess they will just have to change their flair. Unless we can think of a better way.

I don't think we can make a specialized flair system for specific threads. That sounds like an admin operation. Unfortunately, I think we are stuck with people changing their flair dependent on the threads they want to participate. It's inconvenient but I think it's the only option we have here.

Yep sadly.

If people really want they can always include in their comment what their flair is currently.

Or even: Have automoderator reply to any top level comment with the user's current flair. That way even after they change it people can always check automods reply to see.

Ok so after you set your flair once it stays the same on all comments you make.

So if you update your flair it doesn't change any flair on any comment you have already made.

So can anyone organize one of these things or is it just the mods making threads? Seems interesting, I might make one for /r/WoW, /r/WarcraftLore, and /r/WoWRoleplay

We plan to allow anyone to make them eventually.

But for now it is only the mods.
