FINAL UPDATE: This thread is now permanently closed to all flair requests. If you have an unflaired request in this thread, it will never be flaired so please delete it, and resubmit it in the current active thread, which is at the top when sorted by HOT, or on the sidebar.

UPDATE: (17 JAN ) This thread is now closed to any NEW flair requests. GO HERE for the current flair thread. People can still respond to EXISTING flair requests in this thread, until I move the bot in the new thread in a couple days or so. At that point, this thread will be locked, and you will need to delete the unanswered requests in this thread, and paste it into the new thread, or it will never be flaired.

With GAFS hitting 100k members, we need a bi-weekly flair thread simply because we were overloading the servers with all of our comments. Somewhere between 15k and 20k comments, the servers start refusing to show all the comments, so there ends up being requests that the bot just can never see. So we are now doing a Beginning- & mid-month flair thread. If it is before the 6th of the month, don't ask us why your flair requests in this thread aren't being updated. We are waiting for the old thread to be cleansed before it gets locked and archived.

Warning: The bot is administering flair updates. Because it is a computer program, if you don't follow the procedure, the bot won't give you flair. Garbage in, Garbage out. Don't get creative. To make sure your flair request is processed by the bot to avoid a delay, follow the format in the Example submission that is stickied. If you make mistakes, the bot won't flair your request, so the onus is on you to make sure you do it right. Please take note that the bot runs on a schedule so you do not get flaired immediately. Give it 24-48 hours after your submission has been confirmed for the bot to get to it.

Directions:

When you have a successful trade with another user, this thread will be the one that you create a new comment on in order to receive your flair. For positive transactions, both buyer and seller (or traders) will receive a 1 next to their names.

Either the buyer or the seller can create a top-level comment in this thread tagging the other involved individual, and a permalink to the thread (Not just a comment) where a transaction was offered. The Tagged individual can respond with "Positive". The submission should look like the stickied example. Sellers, please wait a few days before submitting a flair request to allow your buyer to receive the item. If you tag them immediately, when the item arrives a week later, they may not be able to find your tag anymore depending on how much reddit activity they do. Or they'll forget. One Flair Request per transaction! The bot will bump both seller and buyer. If multiple requests are found on an audit, transgressors will have their flair penalized.

Gifts: GIFTees do not get flair for free stuff, as the free stuff was the gift for themselves GIFTers do get flair, but don't do it in here, because the bot isn't that smart. Please submit a mod message for all GIFT transactions so that the mods can keep track of the serial GIFTers for being good people. Ensure you provide proof that the GIFTee received the item, or have them submit the modmail.

Note: All trades require a permalink to a /r/GunAccessoriesforSale thread (not comment). PMs, other subreddits, and discord do not qualify for flair increments because they risk exploitation by people outside of our control, such as scammers and those who have been banned. Buyers and sellers are recommended to require a comment by the trade partner in all threads to verify a person's flair and ban status prior to committing to a trade. If you make a thread just to tag an already-completed sale, you will be banned. We will assume this attempt is to game the flair system to scam people.

Only One transaction per comment. Don't tag 3 people in one comment for multiple trades. Only one other trade partner will get flair. A single transaction is a deal between two people, regardless of how many times you send payment or ship items. After haggling, if you end up sending two packages, or buyer pays twice to add additional items to the original trade, its still one transaction. Unless a significant period of time passes between trades, (a week plus), its one transaction with one flair. If you have questions about this, ask first before requesting multiple flair between you and a partner, or we will assume you are attempting to game the flair system to scam people.

If a buyer confirms a sellers comment, the bot doesn't have to wait for confirmation. But buyer must say "I'm the buyer" and identify themselves as such if you don't want to wait for confirmation. Comments submitted by sellers or traders requires separate confirmations from each trade member to be incremented. Ensure you say "positive" so that the bot knows you want a 1.

Once your transaction is flaired, the parent comment is deleted to identify which transactions have already been flaired. This protects privacy and helps keep track of which transactions have or have not been flaired.

Negative Transactions. If a trade doesn't go perfectly, submit a modmail with details of what went wrong, and your desired outcome. The other party will have a chance to respond and state their side. If an individual is found to have committed a sufficiently dick-move such as failure to pay or failure to provide an item, their flair will be changed to "-1" to warn other sub members to beware. A second negative experience will result in banning. Scammers will be immediately banned. If you have a negative transaction, please send a moderator message as well for visibility and rapid response
