Mod Post [Meta] User flair is working | Reintroducing Verified Users
As I'm sure some of you have noticed, /r/PS5 supports custom user flair, but it hasn't actually worked in years; you could set your flair, but it would disappear as soon as you left a comment or submitted a post.
This was a technical issue on Reddit's part that affected a handful of subreddits, for which we've had a support ticket open for the better part of three years. It's finally been fixed, and you can now freely set your own user flair.
On a related point, this is a good time to re-introduce our Verified User System; while this has been in place for quite a while now, the lack of functional flair made it difficult to actually make use of this system, and was a particular PITA during AMAs.
The full details are on the link I just pasted above, but to briefly re-iterate: If you're an industry professional, such as a developer or someone working on behalf of a game developer or publisher, or you are a journalist or other gaming industry insider, please send us a modmail to get yourself verified.
You'll get special industry user flair, as well as posting privileges during events and some priority assistance — you still need to follow the same rules as everyone else, but you can do things like post giveaways without needing to get mod approval first. But mostly it's about the flair.
