Re: "Bubble v8.0: Flairs and Locked Posts"
first of all, please consider that i appreciate a lot the place you built here. i fully aggree that contents must be controlled, and you have already enough tools for it: remove comments, freeze threads, even (less effective) ban/remove users.
where i beg to disaggree is that you are wrong that you have any control at all over the people in an anonymous environment. you only control the messages they post here. what you can also control is the social knitting which promotes people being constructive and does not feed the trolls.
but hey, it's your house and your rules. who am i to disagree on how you run the house?

seems like your flair worked itself out over on my locked post about supertxt.
Thank you for continuing to improve this thing you've built, skyjake! It's good to see these updates.

can i have a "flaired user" flair? i dont really have a reason other than it would be a little funny
I would just respectfully like to say that I don’t find flares as a type of punishment to be healthy as a moderation tool, for reasons others have said.
I just can’t really think of any good use cases for this specific type of moderation.

@satch I would say moderation via flair is quite an extreme measure, based on a longer pattern of behavior, something of a final warning before actual account deletion by the admin.
I don't expect it will be needed to be used this way very often.

@wasolili 🙂 We'll see if I come up with a reasonable solution for user-selected flairs in future releases. There are both UI issues and social nuances to consider with these.

please flair me appropriately https://youtu.be/21zgV8_PBM0?si=KZJ18f3lvB4l1qUw
The only “punishment” flair that works IMO is a little note saying ‘disruptive guest’ or something.

I have concerns regarding the flairs part, as other people said. I don’t think they will enhance moderation in any way, especially considering the ease of just creating a new account (i.e. a new identity).
@skyjake I see where you are coming from but I am not sure this is gonna work out the way you expect.
Eventually labeling people is always a bad thing not matter what.
Anyway you got my trust! 👍
Bubble v8.0: Flairs and Locked Posts — This is a small feature update that adds a couple of moderation tools and fixes a few bugs. Flairs A flair is a free-form text label that appears next to the user's name and provides some additional contextual information about the user. You may be familiar with this concept from sites like Reddit. A flair can only be bestowed on a user by the administator of the Bubble instance. Users themselves, even if they are moderators, cannot assign flairs. Flairs...
