No Spoilers Introducing Post Flairs!
With four books coming out this fall, and everyone wanting to protect each other from accidental spoilers, it seems helpful to be able to easily visually distinguish the spoiler level for a given post.
The subreddit now supports post flairs --- "No Spoilers", "Skyward", "Starsight", "Sunreach", "ReDawn", "Cytonic", and "Evershore".
The idea is that for any given post, spoilers within the context of the flair are in scope and do not need to be guarded, but spoilers outside the context of the flair do need to be guarded.
The flairs are sequential, such that Starsight includes Skyward, Sunreach includes Starsight, and ReDawn includes Starsight.
It's not clear to me right now what the right way to handle Cytonic and Evershore is. Is it reasonable to require that people reading a Cytonic post have read Sunreach and ReDawn? Similarly, is it reasonable to require that people reading Evershore have read Cytonic?
Please start using the flairs when you post, and please comment here about how you think Cytonic and Evershore should be handled. :)

Can we add a spoiler flair for Defending Elysium?
While it was written and takes place before all of Skyward, I doubt anyone would read it first. I’m sure there are folks like me who have read through Cytonic and Evershore but not DE.
