decisions based on the the relevance of the content should be decided by us, not the mods.
We are not dictators. We work to serve the community. If we were not deleting irrelevant and rule-breaking posts, this sub would be crap right now. If we allow anything to be posted, it's an extremely slippery slope to a situation where decent content is buried, especially given that shills actively want to undermine the sub.
As for flair options, you should consider that most users don't have time to read every post, so they tend to vote based on headlines and skimming. Flairing posts based on quality and relevance is very helpful to give users a heads-up. Categorizing based on subject matter, on the other hand, is not particularly helpful, as the subject matter should be self-evident if the title satisfies Rule 3.
