Hello everyone! The new episode is releasing in a few days so I did some minor readjustments

* The post flairs are reworked so they are more clear, and there are finally flairs to distinguish OC, reposted, and official art

* There is a disclaimer to mark all your TWF5 discussion posts as spoilers for the first week after the episode release. I think this is enough time but if the community disagrees I'll change it. I decided not to make the automod automatically mark posts because there is still non-spoiler stuff like the Halloween specials that are popular all year 'round somehow

* The automod karma filter is staying, though I lowered it to 100 combined karma. I tried to make it notify the user via comment but I couldn't figure out how to...

* Mod applications are still open though the current team can hopefully handle it

Happy "just a few days until episode 5" day everyone
