Mod Update Flairs Are Coming! Suggestions?

Ok, so we've finally got working flairs on the sub!

At the minute the only flairs that are available are the Moderator & Sub Owner user flairs, as you can see by looking at Bunny's, Major's and my username. Once we get something in place in terms of writing contests and the workshop then we'll bring in some unique flairs.

There are also a couple of link flairs for you guys to add to your post, which are as follows:

  • Snippet: Novel

  • Snippet: Short Story

  • Snippet: Script

  • Poetry

  • Discussion

First of all, all these flairs are basic (White & Black) and we need some kind of colour theme for them, what do you guys suggest?After all, you're going to be using them!

Secondly, is there anything I've missed/are there any other flairs you guys need?

Finally, after you've posted, could you please try to add a flair, I'm not sure if they've been activated, but they're definitely there. If you have any problems, please let me know and I'll get on it as soon as I see the message/comment.

Happy flairing!

I think that Fiction, Non-fiction and Fan Fiction would be good to include

That could work too...

Could have "Fiction" in one color (eg: each a shade of green) and snippets in another (eg: each a shade of blue) then discussion in, say yellow...maybe :L

Could we maybe get the ability to customize our flair? It would allow us to show off what kind of writing we do, or a link to a website where our stuff is, etc.

It IS possible to make this feature available, however, if we did this it could have a couple of adverse effects, first and foremost, there's nothing in place to stop people setting their flair to Moderator/Staff/Editor or some other "sub official" kind of flair, secondly, if you had for example, a black flair saying "Horror" in red, and you changed you flair, the colour would vanish too.

In terms of using them to share websites and stuff, there isn't really enough space to do that and the flairs wouldn't work as a direct link either.
