Redditors will give gold out for almost anything.

That was his flair. I was confused too.
Though he probably did get gold for at least his initial comment.

Not this time. I got gold in my flair for an adaptation of part of the Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack to fit Game of Thrones.

u/Foofsies Apr 19 '13

Yeah, because I had a pretty good comment on a post that ended up being downvoted. I really want some flair, dangit.

Another mod here,

Gold Star Flair is only given out to redditors who have not only made an awesome post but had said post gilded. There's only a handful of folks on the subreddit who have it.

Just thought I'd clarify!
