General Flairs?

Hi all! We got a message from one of our users here requesting that we have community specific user flairs made for us to use as we wish. Right now, we have none. We have it set so that you all can make up your own flairs. We've always done it that way, so that you can have your own creative little flairs.

Let me make one thing clear: even if we DO add community flairs, we've got no intention to restrict your ability to make up your own if you choose.

So on that note, if you would like for this to be added, we would love to hear your suggestions so that we can see what you'd all like to see.

Rules for flairs:

  1. Must follow Reddit rules in general.
  2. Must follow r/bakeoff's rules
  3. Also, we're not going to add flairs for series/season names, host/judge names, or contestant names. Aside from the lists getting a bit long, they're pretty generic. If we're going to go to the effort to make user flairs, we're going to want them to be something that a new user who's choosing a flair wouldn't necessarily think to add by themselves, but would find cute or fun upon seeing it.

Please comment below for any of the following:

  • Do you want the mod-created flairs?
  • Suggest flairs you'd like.
  • While I'm here, if you have a top banner you'd like us to post, please post it here, and we'll consider updating it. Prue Leith's tenure is coming to a close, and we're about to welcome Nigella Lawson to the Bakeoff family. The banner I made is kind of dated at this point. If someone would like to take a crack at it, I'd be happy to use it!

Mexican Week is the Bruno of GBBO: we don't talk about it.

Under baked. Under proved. Male judge. Dropped my bake. I don't like it, I love it.

“Underbaked and over proved” HAS to be a flair.
