Is it possible to freeze Flair for a group? ie prevent a User from self-changing it?

[mindy]

Is it possible to NOT allow the user to change or modify their Flair if they belong to a particular group? We have a group that identifies a user that they have a financial interest in the product (ie a sponsor), so it is useful to see when they are posting if they are biased/unbiased, by belonging to a specific group and their Flair is a different color.

However they can remove their Flair it looks like. Is it possible to prevent this? If not maybe having someone review the Flairs every week or so would be the next manual option?

hi @mindy. here is a similar topic with your answer i think:

How to limit user chosing flair?

Looking over settings. You would need to remove group flairs in the group settings for Trust Levels. Then setup the Trust Flairs in the Theme Component for each Trust Level you want flairs on and choose the position you want it to display on the Avatar. The Actual group flair choice in the user profile will not have any flairs to choose from unless a custom group has a group flare. The theme-component I linked will only show flair from the Highest Trust Level the member has.

There are a few workarounds but I’m afraid they are not simple as preventing users from choosing their group (!)
