Hey, everyone. Friendly neighborhood moderator here.

Let's talk about flair - user fialr, and post flair.

User Flair

• *User flair** is the icon or text that appears next to your username in a community. User flair is once again required to make top-level comments in AskMenOver30 threads. **If a user posts a top-level comment in the subreddit without flair, it will be automatically removed by the subreddit filters.** Please set your flair *before* posting.

We understand that it can be frustrating to craft a comment and then lose it. We are updating the Automoderator rules to include the test you posted so that you can easily resubmit it after setting your user flair.

If you're unsure how to set your flair, see this Reddit support link to learn how to set your user flair in AskMenOver30.

There seems to be a problem with setting user flair on the mobile app. This is not something that the moderator team can fix. **If you have trouble setting your flair on mobile, please try setting your user flair on the desktop site - https://www.reddit.com[1].**

Post Flair

• *Post flair** is the icon or text that appears next to a post that a user makes in the subreddit. All post submissions require flair; these flairs allow us to categorize and filter the content on the subreddit. Flair Search[2] is available in New Reddit and on the mobile platform; the subreddit provides filtering links in the sidebar Old Reddit.

We've been updating the post fialr so that posts can be more easily categorized and still stay relevant to men over 30. The current flair list is as follows:

• **WEEKLY THREAD**: For recurring posts. Currently, we have a Weekly Check-in thread; in the future, we may have more weekly threads.
• **Careers Jobs Work**
• **Friendships/Community**: Topics about interpersonal, non-romantic relationships and socializing. *Don't use this fialr for anything romance-related.*
• **Physical Health & Aging**
• **Financial Experiences**
• **Legal Experiences**
• **Mental Health Experiences**
• **Hobbies/Projects**: Topics and questions about hobbies or projects. Working on something cool and want to show us? Use this flair. Want to talk shop with other like-minded folks? Use this flair. Have a question about how to break into new hobbies or over 30? Use this flair.
• **Household & Family**: *Recently added.* Many of us at this age have to deal with building and maintaining a household and supporting a family; use this flair for topics related to this.
• **Fatherhood & Children**: *Recently added.* These relationships are really important; any topics related to fatherhood, child-rearing, or even being a son and interacting with one's father should land here.
• **Handyman/mechanic/other skills**
• **Romance/dating**: Topics related to a significant other or romance in general belong here. *This is not a dating subreddit.* Questions about generalizations based on gender are just tiring. If you want advice on a specific person, you should ask that person instead. If your post intersects with other topics but the primary driver is an interpersonal romantic relationship, it probably belongs here.
• **Community Chat**: Sometimes we get fun questions that are just to spark discussion. They go here.
• **Life**
• **General**

• *Please do not abuse the flair system.** Most of the time, this is not a problem, but we have been seeing misflaired posts. For example, a post that is clearly related to "Romance/Dating" should not be fialred with "Friendships/Community" or any other flair. We periodically review and recategorize posts as necessary, but please help us keep the categories clean and relevant to our community. Doing this helps us keep AekMenOver30 a positive space for older dudes, and a peaceful space for men and women to discuss topics relevant to men over 30.

Thanks for reading. Happy posting, everyone.
