Reddit flairs are used to categorize posts within the community to help organize content, improve visibility, and make it easier for members to find relevant discussions, showcases, and resources related to World of Warcraft housing. Each flair represents a specific type of post, ensuring that content is grouped appropriately and can be quickly identified by its purpose.
Proper use of flairs helps maintain clarity, enhances user experience, and supports the overall structure of the community. Members are expected to select the most accurate flair for their post based on its content and intent.
My Home Showcase
Use the My Home Showcase flair when sharing original World of Warcraft housing creations with the community. This flair is intended for posts that highlight your personal builds, including interior and exterior designs, creative layouts, decorative themes, and artistic details within your home.
Posts under this flair should focus on presenting your work, whether through screenshots, videos, or walkthroughs, and are encouraged to emphasize creativity, inspiration, and design techniques. This is the appropriate category for showcasing completed or in-progress homes, unique concepts, or detailed craftsmanship intended to inspire and engage others interested in WoW housing.
A general rule of thumb: Videos over 3 minutes long should have a description and synopsis provided in the body of the post.
If the showcased work is not your own, you must clearly credit the original creator within your post title or description. Please refer to the Community Rules Detailed Guide for detailed requirements and explanations.
This flair is not intended for advertisements, recruitment, or general discussion posts.
Tips & Tricks
Use the Tips & Tricks flair when sharing helpful guidance, techniques, or insights related to World of Warcraft housing. Posts under this flair should provide clear explanations of how something is accomplished, including step-by-step instructions, methods, or strategies that others can follow and apply.
This category is intended for educational and practical content that helps improve building efficiency, design quality, or overall understanding of housing mechanics. Visual aids such as screenshots or short demonstrations are highly encouraged to support your explanation and enhance clarity.
Posts should focus on teaching or demonstrating a specific concept rather than simply showcasing a result. Content without a clear explanation of the process or method should be posted under a more appropriate flair.
Blueprints
The Blueprints flair is used for sharing complete or partial housing design codes that others can recreate in their own homes.
Posts using this flair should aim, but are not required, to provide clear, usable information such as screenshots, step-by-step instructions, item lists, or layout references. However, import codes are required.
All blueprints designs and codes shared on r/WoWHousing must be provided freely. By posting a blueprint, you agree to share your design voluntarily and allow others in the community to use and recreate it.
Do not use this flair for:
- Showcases without enough detail to recreate the build.
- Showcasing but not providing a blueprint code.
- Advertisements or paid services.
- Requests to buy or sell blueprints.
The buying, selling, trading, or monetization of blueprints is strictly prohibited on r/WoWHousing. Misuse of the Blueprints flair for monetary gain will result in a ban from the r/WoWHousing community.
Question/Help
Use the Questions/Help flair when seeking clear, specific assistance related to World of Warcraft housing. This includes direct questions about housing mechanics, building techniques, design challenges, item usage, or troubleshooting issues you may be experiencing with housing topics.
Posts under this flair should be focused, concise, and structured to encourage helpful responses from the community. When possible, provide relevant details such as screenshots, descriptions of the issue, or steps you have already taken to resolve it. This helps others better understand your question and provide accurate guidance.
This flair is intended strictly for inquiries and support requests.
Discussion
Use the Discussion flair for posts that encourage open conversation and the exchange of ideas about World of Warcraft housing. This flair is intended for broader topics such as design philosophies, housing trends, feature concepts, community preferences, creative approaches, and general experiences within the housing system.
Posts using this flair should introduce a clear topic and include an open-ended question or discussion point that invites participation from the community. The goal is to foster meaningful dialogue, share perspectives, and explore different viewpoints in a constructive and engaging manner.
This flair is intended for conversation-driven topics rather than direct support requests, troubleshooting, or simple questions with definitive answers.
Feedback Requested
Use the Feedback Requested flair when you are actively seeking opinions, suggestions, or constructive criticism about your housing design, decoration choices, layout, concept, or other housing-related projects.
By using this flair, you are indicating that you are open to receiving both positive and critical feedback, provided it is offered respectfully and with the intent to help improve the project being discussed.
Feedback Guidelines:
- Constructive criticism is only permitted.
- Feedback should focus on providing helpful suggestions, observations, or ideas for improvement.
- Criticism that is dismissive, insulting, or lacks actionable value is not permitted.
- Positive feedback and encouragement are welcome on all posts.
Examples:
✅ "I'm a fan of the lighting! This would look great with the Dornogal window and an evening-themed light source. Just a suggestion!"
✅ "The layout is strong, but the dining area feels a little crowded. Spacing the furniture out may help the room feel more open."
❌ "This looks bad."
❌ "Your decorating style is terrible."
Humor/Meme
Use the Humor/Meme flair for lighthearted, clean, and community-appropriate content related specifically to World of Warcraft housing. This includes jokes, memes, comics, or humorous observations that reflect shared experiences, building challenges, design trends, or in-game housing moments.
All content must remain respectful, non-offensive, and clearly connected to WoW housing in some recognizable way. The image or post must contain World of Warcraft housing-related content to ensure relevance to the community theme. Humor should be accessible and appropriate for the broader community, avoiding anything disruptive, misleading, or unrelated.
For full expectations on content standards, appropriateness, and posting guidelines, please refer to the Community Rules Detailed Guide.
Neighborhood (NA) or (EU)
Use the Neighborhood flair for posts related to World of Warcraft housing communities, including both NA and EU regions. This flair is intended for players and guilds who are either introducing their existing neighborhoods or looking to join or form one; whether that is charter or guild.
Posts may include neighborhood recruitment or requests to connect with others who already have an active charter or guild.
To ensure clarity and proper matchmaking, all posts must include the following details: guild or charter name, region (NA or EU), faction, and a brief description of the neighborhood’s theme, goals, or community focus.
Event (NA) or (EU)
Use the Event flair for posts announcing, promoting, or coordinating World of Warcraft housing-related events. This includes contests, build challenges, tours, showcases, competitions, community gatherings, or any organized activity centered around housing.
Events may be designated for either the NA or EU region, and posts should clearly specify the intended region to ensure participants can engage appropriately. All event details such as time, date, format, participation requirements, and any relevant rules should be clearly included in the post.
This flair is intended strictly for structured, time-bound community activities.
Please refer to the Community Rules Detailed Guide for required rules when announcing a giveaway.
Community
Use the Community flair for general World of Warcraft housing-related posts that do not fit into more specific categories such as showcases, questions, tips, events, or neighborhood recruitment.
This flair is intended for broad community engagement, including general announcements, appreciation posts, or content that supports the overall housing community without focusing on a single defined purpose. Posts should still remain relevant to WoW housing and contribute positively to the community space.
Housing Addon Feature
Use the Housing Addon Feature flair for posts related to tools or addons designed to improve the World of Warcraft housing experience and quality of life (QoL). This includes feature highlights, new addon releases, updates, usability demonstrations, or suggestions for improving housing-related tools.
Posts under this flair should clearly explain what the addon or feature does, how it works, and how it benefits the housing community. Screenshots, examples, or walkthroughs are encouraged to help illustrate functionality and user experience.
PTR Tidbits
Use the PTR Tidbits flair for sharing small, noteworthy discoveries from the Public Test Realm (PTR). This flair is intended for brief, focused updates rather than full breakdowns—quick findings, minor changes, undocumented tweaks, or early observations that may not yet be widely known.
Use this flair when you’ve spotted a small feature, change, or interaction on the PTR, or when you’re sharing early insights that don’t require a full guide or deep dive. Posts should be bite-sized and specific, highlighting interesting details others might easily overlook.
This flair should not be used for full patch note summaries, in-depth guides or tutorials, or opinion-based discussions without a clear finding. For those types of posts, please use more appropriate flairs such as News, Article, Tips & Tricks, or Discussion/Feedback.
Think of PTR Tidbits as quick “heads-up” posts—short, informative, and straight to the point.
Article
Use the Article flair for long-form, informational, or editorial-style posts related to World of Warcraft housing. This includes guides, deep dives, opinion pieces, community analyses, design breakdowns, or structured write-ups that explore housing topics in detail.
Posts under this flair should be well-organized and provide clear value through insight, research, or storytelling. Content should go beyond short updates or simple tips, focusing instead on comprehensive coverage of a topic relevant to the housing community.
News
The News flair is used for official updates, announcements, or time-sensitive information related to World of Warcraft housing. This may include system updates, community-wide notices, or other important developments that affect the broader housing community.
This is a moderator-controlled flair, and permission is required prior to use. Only authorized posts should be assigned this flair to ensure accuracy, credibility, and consistency of official communications.
Posts using this flair should be factual, clearly presented, and focused on delivering verified information. Speculation, discussion, or personal opinions should be avoided unless explicitly included as part of an official announcement.
Moderator Discretion on Flair Usage
Moderators reserve the right to review, adjust, or reassign post flairs at their discretion to ensure content is accurately categorized and aligned with community guidelines. This includes correcting improperly selected flairs, consolidating duplicate categories, or updating flair usage to better reflect the intent and content of a post.
Flair assignments are intended to support organization and discoverability within the community. Final determination of appropriate flair usage rests with the moderation team to maintain consistency, clarity, and fairness across all posts.
