Moderators Group Flair and Name Discussion
The discussion revolves around the possibility of adding custom flair and names to automatic groups, specifically for moderators. brunoedigital initiated the conversation, suggesting that it would be beneficial to differentiate moderators and other automatic groups with unique flairs and names.
mikechristopher clarified that it is not currently possible to edit flairs for automatic groups, recommending the creation of a custom group instead. brunoedigital acknowledged this limitation and suggested adding this feature in the future.
eba questioned the rationale behind not allowing flairs for automatic groups, highlighting the redundancy of creating custom groups that mirror automatic ones. HAWK suggested logging a feature request to address this issue.
brunoedigital emphasized the importance of custom flairs and names in elevating moderators’ status within the community. HAWK pointed out that the moderation shield and user title already serve this purpose, but brunoedigital argued that these elements may not be well understood by all users, making explicit flair and custom names more effective.
Hi,
I see you have group flairs here.
I was wondering if I could have flair and a custom name to be displayed just like manually created groups for moderators?
If not I’ll just create a custom one and add everyone there.
It would just be easier and save me from creating a second group.
Thanks
Hey Bruno,
I’m not sure I understand the request. Can you elaborate please?
Hi @brunoedigital if you mean the automatic groups that are created then no you cannot edit the flairs etc on them. You would be best setting up a custom group.
What @mikechristopher replied below. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.
I wanted to add flairs and a custom name to show just like a regular, manually created group.
I know you can’t now… but maybe is worth adding in the feature?
I find a nice feature to differentiate moderators and whatnot. I know I can add to a custom group, but since they are already inside a group, I don’t see why not.
Anyhow, I’ll create a custom one for now.
Thanks.
What’s the rational behind the decision of not adding flairs to Automatic Groups?
In essense, we’ve set up groups that are completely mirroring the Automatic groups.
Either this is redundant or I am completely missing something in this logic.
I’m not sure that there was an active decision not to add them to auto created groups. Why don’t you log a feature request?
I’m using to easily set a different flair and a custom name to Moderators for example.
It raises their status within the community, which they like 
Doesn’t the moderation shield and user title do that?
