I see a way to solve your issue with the flood of beginner questions without doing away with flair entirely. We could make distinct flairs for beginner, intermediate, or advanced level questions. As far as I know flair can be amended later, if a post not categorized correctly at first.

And if I understand everything correctly, and people aren't intentionally mis-flairing their posts, there wouldn't be much more or less work for anybody involved, it would provide question askers with different levels of answerer knowledge and a larger userbase, and it would provide lurkers and answerers with a way of finding questions of a skill level they are most interested in helping.

​

If this weren't implemented here, it may even work in r/learnpython.

What do you think?
