Since the Port, PuttItOut has doubled the number of flairs we can have. What flairs would like us to add? Chime in! (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Vindicator

Originally, we only had 10 flairs. We now have 20 possible. I've added a couple over the past few weeks...how about some suggestions for others you'd like to see us start using? Here's the current lineup:

  1. Potential Lead
  2. New Evidence
  3. IMPORTANT
  4. Accuracy in question
  5. Possible Disinformation
  6. Potential Security Risk
  7. NSFW
  8. 🍕 Share!
  9. Old News
  10. ❌ Debunked ❌
  11. 👍 Swamp Takedown
  12. QAnon ⛈ Watch

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d like to know my flair potential before I make a submission. Not to criticize, or create more work, while some of these are clear in meaning, some may need some definition. For instance:

Is it correct to say, “Old News” means old to this site, not news that happened a long time ago that’s relevant to pizzagate but not discussed here at any length?

What’s the difference between “Accuracy in Question” and “Possible “Disinformation?” Do these mean, a sub that’s simply questionable for reasons like not well-sourced vs. information that’s intentionally inaccurate or misleading?

Great points, r4r. "Old News" is really only used when someone makes a post that is old information in a way that could be interpreted as new. For example, the recent "CIA Langley shut down" threads, in which someone posts articles from 2014 in conjunction with rumors that the Marines had landed. When people make link posts without saying they happened two years ago, that kind of thing. I think we actually gave that Langley post a "Disinfo" flair, though, because it was really egregious.

Accuracy in Question is basically a nicer way of saying Possible Disinfo. We don't use it much...mainly when a source seems questionable but it doesn't have a known history of disinfo peddling. It's also good for things that are breaking -- where we don't know what's true yet, or not, due to mixed reports. Possible Disinfo is something that fits a known pattern of fake news or shilling, either the way the info is presented, or the source of the info (like yournewswire).

Usually things that qualify for either of these flairs are also in violation of one or more the submission rules and can be deleted. Sometimes we flair them and leave them up for the purposes of public awareness.

Also, ideally, mods aren't using flairs in a vacuum. Everyone should be commenting when something ought to have a flair, and pinging us to do it. And upvoating or downvoating comments requesting flairs if you agree or disagree. :-)

Thanks for clarifying. I'm all for flairs, and these are really good. And, understanding them in advance, especially the ones perceived as negative, might prevent an argument or two (lol, maybe/probably not).
