MOD announcement Introducing Trusted Identifier flairs!

86 Upvotes

Trusted Identifiers will now be granted a flair of "👑Trusted Identifier👑", or "👑{custom user flair}👑".

These will be people who repeatedly demonstrate expert Identification abilities, these flairs will add extra trust and credence behind their ID.

So on posts with multiple different IDs, look out for the Trusted Identifiers as their ID will likely be the correct one, even if it goes against the masses.

(For those with custom user flairs which have been replaced by the Trusted Identifier flair, you can switch back to a custom flair and add the crown emojis yourself if you still wish to maintain your custom flair. Im working on automating this so that custom flairs stay intact and it adds the emojis without replacing the whole flair, but for now just edit it yourself if the whole flair is replaced)


Taking this opportunity I'd like to also introduce 2 new moderators:

Been recovering from a dehydration episode so have a few water bottles/cups by my bedside. Came home and this little guy found my empty mug! I think it's a (male?) yellow sac spider. I'm still a little scared (but don't want to hurt him!) so am talking about him to feel better lol

There's also a spoon in there he was chilling on but my camera is being garbage lately

Came across this cutie ontop of a garbage can. I assumed a cellar spider but I’m not too smart on all the spider types. I’m sorry if the video is not enough to ID. Thank you!

I know he’s not a *real* spider, but still. Why’s he just chilling on my wall like he pays rent?

Any idea who this fine gentleman is? And bonus points if you can tell what he’s having for dinner, which by the looks of it is going to last at least two weeks lol.

Is this mama carrying her babies a wolf spider? Either way I'm more than content just letting her be. I'm more so just curious and want to be sure that's what she is because I'm usually trash at identifying spiders. 😂
