View submission: Introducing Flair_Helper
There are a few reasons a subreddit might want to use a flairbot:
1. As you said, it makes it much easier to mod from mobile.
2. Sometimes people would prefer not to attach their usernames to a removal comment, for example if they're removing a controversial thread and the messenger will certainly be shot.
3. A few subs use flairbots to enforce a system like the reverse of /r/science, since you could give new mods only `flair` perms to restrict their modding to what's possible with the bot.

With #3 wouldn't that still give them the power to remove posts though?
