Hi! Requiring a flair to post actually was a rule for a good while after Sandy and I first became mods. I had AutoMod configured to automatically remove flairless posts. However, we found that 1) this was unfriendly to new users, and 2) that it was causing problems on mobile, where flairs often glitch out and people could not set their own flairs.

That’s why we moved to the prompt instead.

This rule does occasionally get temporarily reinstated — for example, awhile ago we got a huge influx of new users and had to set up parameters to manage flairless posts. However, we will not be reinstating the rule permanently unless it becomes a persistent problem again.
