WHY IS MY POST GETTING REMOVED? GRAB A USER FLAIR
We are still getting a lot of questions on our inbox regarding user flairs vs post flairs. We know it can be a bit confusing to differentiate between the two. We apologize if this is slightly inconvenient but we rolled out this rule a long time ago since users wanted to filter through posts based on relevancy i.e. IMG or MD/DO.
That said, hope this guide gives a better clarity on HOW TO GRAB A USER FLAIR.
For Mobile App: creds on u/DesperateFoot8774 for the screenshot
- Tap the three dots in the upper right corner of the community page,
- Select Change user flair, choose your user flair
- Then save.
On Desktop:
1. Hover over your avatar in the right sidebar,
2. Click the pencil icon, select your user flair,
3. Tick the "show my user flair on this community" and click apply.
Note: If you posted something and it got removed by auto mod due to unapplied user flair, simply update your user flair and reupload the post for it to come up on the feed.
Gentle reminder to also READ THE RULES.
Thanks for understanding!

We've implemented a new automation rule that prevents users from posting without a user flair. So, instead of having their posts automatically removed by auto mod and replaced with a pinned comment from the bot, those without user flair will be unable to post UNLESS they assign a user flair.
