Post Body

Hi all,

It's been roughly a week since post flair was introduced to the subreddit and I thought it would be worthwhile to see what the content looked like:

https://preview.redd.it/ffnrf20ojlj41.png?width=1137&format=png&auto=webp&s=0da209abbe712dd7d9ac07d3920aa392df2e445d

It's not a robust data set by any measure, but I couldn't find anything better than re-flairing posts by hand and counting them, and well, that's not fun. What I can say is that this chart misses exactly how much more of a proportion questions and career questions would take up if I had crunched the data. As a team we've discussed placing restrictions on these kinds of posts, but in large, they are this subreddit's most abundant content.

The question, then: does the community see this as a problem?

If no, then great, business as usual (**but you need to tell us**). If yes, we have two* potential solutions:

1) Restrict questions/career questions to their open specific day(s).

2) Restrict them to a specific mega-thread.

*3) A better idea?

Give us your thoughts on this and whatever else you deem relevant. Cheers!

*Also, a thank you for this news so I can stop manually flairing posts for what is an overwhelming number of old.reddit users we have.*
