Myth: "Post flair is just cosmetic"

Myth: "Post flair is just cosmetic"
This week on Reddit marketing, an overlooked mechanic, corrected:

— [Rule-change] In many subs the required flair drives AutoMod behavior — wrong or missing flair gets posts auto-removed, and some "Promo" flairs unlock link permissions, per config samples on r/AutoModerator.
— [Tactic] Choosing the right flair can also route your post into a filtered feed members actually browse, increasing qualified eyes.
— [Case] A user on r/modhelp traced their silent removals to skipping the mandatory flair step, not to the content itself.

Editor's pick: treat flair as a switch, not decoration — in flair-gated subs it's the difference between a live post and an instant silent removal.
