Here in /r/pics, we're a one stop shop for all your "Bernie Sanders rode the subway this one time" needs. People often ask when this subreddit became /r/Politics, and why we don't banish political posts from our subreddit, and quarantine them over there. Initially we thought "Oh, that sounds delightful," and began working on plans to ban all political posts until January 1st, 2017.Then we realized how ridiculous that would be. As much as we may not like a certain politician, /r/pics is the only place pictures of people holding balloons above Donald Trump's head to demonstrate the effects of static electricity belong- /r/politics is strictly for political news articles.So as not to rob reddit of its bastion of Hillary and Bill Clinton high school photos- we're introducing an Election 2016 flair.What this means"But /r/pics, why should I care?" you may ask. Here's where it gets good- now you can filter those posts out! Once you head over to /r/Enhancement and get the Reddit Enhancement Suite for Chrome, Firefox or Safari, you can then head here to your RES console's filter settings, and, under the 'flair' header, add a rule to filter by the flair text 'Election 2016' for /r/pics, and then you won't have to see any of this nonsense any more! On mobile? It works there too! (Well, probably. I only tested it on my own mobile app, and there's quite a few out there. I've also discovered that it works on AlienBlue)Alternatively, if you're the type who likes this sort of thing, you can click the Election 2016 flair wherever it appears, and it'll give you a search for all the other posts in /r/Pics with the Election 2016 flair.How to get itWant to get this flair on your post? It's simple! Just make a top level comment (reply to your post), with a comment that simply says "Election 2016" and AutoModerator will AutoMagically™ flair your post for you!This will only work for the OP of a post, so if you see a post in need of an Election 2016 flair, please shoot us a modmail containing a link to the post, and we'll get it sorted out.In other recent news, we also now have Backstory, Progess, a general Politics, and, my personal favorite (to filter out): Picture of Text quartet of link flairs which we'll be applying to posts where needed for your other filtering or, ah, satisfaction needs.Anything else you'd like to ask us, or that you'd like us to know? Here's the place.
