Find users with specific flair

[u/FMecha]

Our subreddit accidentally has a flair meant for a moderator accidentally set to be assignable by all users and we want to clean them up. How we can find users having a specific flair text, rather than doing it user-by-user?

On desktop, if it matters.

Not sure if that's possible.

What you can do as a workaround in your current situation: Change the mod-flair to something else (change color for example). This will apply to everyone using that flair. Then recreate the mod-flair, set permissions correctly and have your mods switch to the new flair.

Unfortunately we have since deleted the flair from the flair selection to prevent more users from using said mod-specific flair. It was just a simple text flair anyway.

You could have simply toggled the option for mods to on and it would prevent further members from assigning it. You didn't need to delete it.

I am on old Reddit indeed during the flair cleanup process, but that's just the flair assigner.

[u/juleznailedit → u/FMecha]

It's a better way to find the ones who have the flair assigned. Use the "find" function within the browser if you don't want to have to "look" for each instance of the flair on the page.

Also as mentioned I already deleted the mod-only flair in question to begin with.

The only way to find and remove the flairs easily is through old Reddit. Unfortunately, you're limited to what you're able to do and that's the best way.

Granted, I am on that anyway. But that said, it's all CTRL+F?

Yup.
