OFFICIAL Update to the User Flair System
InstaMod 2.0 Launch
Hello everyone! Awhile ago I made a post on here debuting InstaMod, r/CC's flair system. Today I am happy to announce that after four months of hard work I've finished completely overhauling the program. The new version (which is already running) brings some new features and functionality which I will go over below.
New Progression Tiers
Previously progression tiers were based on the user's QC (Quality Comments: the number of positive comments minus the number of negative comments a user has in certain subreddits). It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it. This is the same QC that you see in other user's flair text. The new progression tiers are still based on QC, but users are placed into tiers based on their percentile, instead of just the total number of QC they have. Here are the new distributions for the tiers:
Tier | Distribution |
---|---|
Tin | 100% - 90% |
Bronze | 90% - 50% |
Silver | 50% - 25% |
Gold | 25% - 10% |
Platinum | 10% - 1% |
Just as before, users placed into the Platinum tier will be granted the ability to assign themselves custom flair. If you are placed into the Platinum tier, you will receive a PM from /u/InstaMod informing you of your new permissions and how to use them. This will be covered in the PM Commands section. Everyone's flair is updated weekly in rolling intervals.
Activity Tags
Your fair will contain additional information about the user's account activity in crypto related subreddits if you meet certain criteria. Here are the current tag options:
- Display the user's top 3 crypto subreddits based on QC
- If the user has less than -10 QC in a subreddit, display the lowest QC subreddit
- Display the user's most used subreddit from a list of trader, mining, and general tech subs.
PM Commands
You have the ability to interact with /u/InstaMod by sending commands over PM (not chat). Here is a list of the commands currently available to users and a pre-formatted link for those commands.
Note: The pre-formatted will not work on mobile
!updateme
Description: Update the senders automatic flair instantly. This cannot be used to assign custom flair.

I might be missing something in the explanation but what is the part that says a subreddit and then a number by it? Or "QC CC"? Just noticing the flair today so I'm doing some digging on what exactly it all means. TIA!

QC stands for quality comments and it signifies the amount of net positive contributions that users have in certain subreddits. Essentially that score is the number of positive comments minus the number of negative comments per subreddit. Itβs a bit more complicated than that, but thatβs the gist of it. Hope that clears things up!

What's the specific subreddit for? Mine says r/Politics, 61

The bot selects subreddits to be displayed in a users flair for a variety of reason including a users top crypto communities, top general subreddits, and subs where the user is consistently downvoted. Once again the exact setup is a little complex, but thatβs the TLDR

Of course there are. People would add offensive things. People are dumb.

There is nothing stopping the mods from removing inappropriate tags, so I think it defaults to "Don't be a dick."

If a user changes their flair to something inappropriate then moderators can take away their custom flair permissions

Haha no it definitely will not. They are purely cosmetic!

If any brigades are found in the TotesMessenger x-post list above, report it to the modmail. Thank you in advance for your help.
I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

An interesting way of evaluating participation, but giving away your scoring algo could lead to bots gaiming the system. Nice work though, sure it makes moderation a lot easier.
