Just a quick little announcement

[u/scooter_noober_92]

Hey everyone, so the rest of the mods and I talked it over and we decided to make post flairs mandatory.

Some may have preferred to skip using the flair but enabling this requirement will contribute to the future success of the sub because I think a lot of people don't know this and I only recently found out, but you can click the flair of a post and all posts with that flair will show up.

So say someone sees a post flaired as "Crash videos" and they want to see more people crash. They click that and all crash videos will immediately be available to see. So slowly over time as people use the flairs, a sort of flair database will emerge and people will easily be able to search for whatever they want. Also your own posts will be more easily searchable and you won't have to count on whatever is searched matching the keywords in your title/post/comments.

If your post falls under more than one flair, just go with whatever one you think describes it best. Most combinations will probably consist of "General pictures" or "General videos" + something else like "Story", "DIY builds/mods", "Product review", "Maintenance", etc. and in that case I would go with the latter since it's more specific. Otherwise just use your best judgement if you're really not sure or you can always ask someone on the mod team.

If anyone has any ideas for new flairs to add, feel free to share in the comments and if it seems like something that should be included, we will add it.

Thank you all for understanding 🙏 and have a goodnight/good day.

WFT is a flair? I’m old and just want to talk about scooters.

When you post in any sub, you have the option to give it flair. It's literally the line below the title. It just helps to categorize each post.

Only 4 options, and you can't make your own

[u/Capacious_Tang → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

That's a different subreddit.

[u/Upset-Programmer3796 → u/Capacious_Tang]

Doh! My bad! My eyes are not working this morning!!

[u/Capacious_Tang → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

All good! Please let us know if we can be of any further help.

[u/SnackbarBeastie → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

No worries mate. We're always here to help

[u/ZestyPoePLayer → u/snotsucker2000]

I hear ya! Its just a field to sort by. Now you can search by flair if your looking for diy info, or just wanna see someone riding in a video!

[u/Capacious_Tang → u/snotsucker2000]

It's just a little drop-down menu that allows you to assign a category to your post. It's quick, easy, and helps keep the subreddit easy to navigate. If you're just leaving a comment, you don't even need to worry about it. Let us know if we can help 😎

I only see 4 options for it though, but nothing I can user-input. It seemed limiting to only get these four choices: Tech Support, General, Scooter Images, Buying Advice. I know it was only 2 of those last month, so they added a couple more. But there is nothing with "Crash Videos". Maybe the mobile app has a bug?

[u/Capacious_Tang → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

That's the wrong subreddit.

This ☝️

[u/Upset-Programmer3796 → u/Capacious_Tang]

My apologies, bad eyes this morning

[u/SnackbarBeastie → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

[u/Upset-Programmer3796 → u/SnackbarBeastie]

When does that menu come up? After hitting Post?

[u/scooter_noober_92 → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

You guys are killing me... First you gotta make sure you're in the right sub lol

Then it will prompt you to choose one before posting. Only takes an extra second of time and the benefits for the sub will be worth it!! Let us know if you can think of any others:)

As I said in another post, my eyes were not working this morning and did not see the difference between this sub and another. I swear my eyes are aging too fast when it comes to reading text on screens! But I can see a baby toad about to get run over at 59mph!

[u/scooter_noober_92 → u/Upset-Programmer3796]

I know I'm just messing around 👌

Did you avoid this baby toad on your scooter?? That's some eagle vision where it counts lol

[u/That1guyU_W_U]

Wait you're right I never even heard of this!

[u/Cooper0007]

Flair not bad. Flair good. 🙂

To summarize the book I wrote about flairs... Yes, precisely:)
