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.

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...
