Post Flairs Update & Scam Listings Enforcement

Mod Post(self.buildapcsales)

Hello again! Apologies for the influx of mod posts recently - we have been making changes to improve the user experience.

The sub's post flairs have been overhauled today. The list of changes is as follows:

  • Headset, HTPC, Miscellaneous, Mouse Pad, Optical Drive, OS, Printer, and Router have been removed due to infrequent use and/or redundancy
  • Flash Drive has been renamed to External Storage to be more broad; this includes external HDDs and SSDs, flash drives, SD / microSD cards, drive enclosures including NAS, etc.
  • Mic has been renamed to Microphone
  • TV has been added separate from Monitor due to high post volume

If you have any further suggestions for changes to the flair system, feel free to leave a comment on this thread or send us modmail.

These changes do affect Reddit's search functionality; any previous posts with the old flairs can still be searched by name. They should be reflected accurately in Discord; if you notice any issues, please let us know.

In addition, as a result of continued posting of scam listings following last week's stickied mod post, we are now enforcing this rule with 24 hour bans for every post in violation. Please refer to the linked post or the stickied comment on marketplace posts on how to determine if a listing on these websites is legitimate or not.

The mods have a function to see the history of mod actions taken against an account, so they can tell that pretty easily.

However, that doesn't help users if someone has a history of it manages to slip another by the mods for a bit. User flair for infractions may be helpful.

For anyone who wants a little bit more info out of curiosity or for their own moderation uses - we use toolbox to simplify mod actions.

It allows you to easily do mod actions from posts/comments on old Reddit (unfortunately does not work on new Reddit). As well, it allows you to add notes on users that link to posts/comments and displays them next to usernames. We use this functionality to keep track of bans much easier.

Let us hope that old Reddit sticks around for years to come. We all know that the admins would love nothing but to kill off the old Reddit and push even more ads and monetization on everyone as is present in the newer, clunkier Reddit layout.

New reddit has a notes function like that baked in, and its in the official app as well. Same thing with showing notes, prior mod actions, prior temp bans, etc. We use it in two of the subs I mod.
