once you get flair, you get to be slapped by the mods for speculating on matters not within your area of expertise.
I actually haven't seen this. I see people with "ethics" flair commenting about logic. Or people with "epistemology" commenting about ethics. In general, the flair indicates what you think are your main areas.

I've never seen it either. Instead it was some kind of threat uttered a short time ago. No more meaningless prattle from our flaired experts. Only expert opinions, please. That kind of thing.

Nor have I. Flairs indicate areas, perhaps, of specialised knowledge, but I have never felt these, or the board moderation, prevented me from replying to questions in other areas where I have something useful to contribute from a philosophical perspective.
