[GeneralQuestions] Can anyone have flair now or did I do something and not know it?

Looked at the side bar and noticed an "Edit your flair" option. Is this available for everyone now or did I do something? If so, does anyone know what flair is awarded for? Amount of post/comment, up-votes, or a mod just likes you?

And isn't there a way to edit the font as well?

Thanks

I know I've been able to get it for a couple weeks. I think most people just read over the edit your flair note in the sidebar. If it was available before then I certainly missed it.

You can place a small flair icon by your name. We changed the overall submission flair so I think we just turned that option on. It should give you a selection you can choose one to add next to your username.

You can't edit your username flair (like mine is). That is reserved for mods and a few other people have it, mostly due to inside jokes or then having done something truly noteworthy.

There are a few people with very strong opinions about username flair so I will (attempt to) preempt the argument that comes along with saying it's been discussed plenty of times, but we aren't going to change it anytime soon. Simply put, that's just how we do things and it's not a priority to change.
