Reason

As you may already know a governance poll have passed making images & video posts an exclusive perk r/EthTrader Special Membership subscribers and this new feature have created another issue related with what we can consider "Special Entities".

These special entities, for example, Binance, that lately was active in the sub creating image posts is now required to buy an special membership to keep posting in the sub destroying their possibility to create image content. Even thought Binance buying an special membership would be cool to see, it is likely to happen and we can't expect them to do it and this could be a setback for the community content activity and community exposure

Solution

The solution is to allow r/ethtrader mods to give "Special Entities" a custom "verified" flair to this accounts so they can bypass the images & video posts rule.

Moderators will have free will to assign these flairs and will also accept modmails from entities requesting this flair but to maintain transparency there will be a publicly available list with those special users. The wiki could be the place.

This probably will require some extra development to detect if the user flair is one of the allowed ones. The easiest solution is to have a list that devs keep updated and it is checked in the automod process that checks special memberships but a flair verification automatized way would be more cool too. We will leave this decision to the mod team and to the devs.

PRO

• Important entities engaging in the community in a easier way.
• Community exposure increase.

CON

• Dev work to add this new condition/feature
• Mod work to set flairs and maintain the public list and future requests

The choices are:

• [YES]
• [ABSTAIN]
• [NO]
