View submission: Mobile moderation on Reddit

Okay so this might be pretty niche, but I figure what's the harm in putting it out there.

To set some context, we have made gender verification mandatory on our main sub (via your standard verification methods usually employed). So now, in order to post on the sub, you need to have the verified flair.

Now because of the nature of the subreddits I moderate, a lot of people who send us modmails for getting their flairs added use alt accounts or accounts that have no previous visible comment/post history on the sub.

The point I'm driving at is this: if a user has a post or comment, I can simply click on their username in the sub on that post/comment and then use "Change User Flair". However, for the "new" users with no history I currently have to manually open the grant flair URL using the in-built browser and search for the username. This is very time consuming, and not to mention the Grant User Flair page itself is occasionally buggy so I have to switch to desktop mode in the mobile browser.

I can see this being useful in other contexts for other subs too, and clearly the underlying skeletal structure connecting a modmail and the user is there so it should be rather easy to add I think.
