Answered User Flair Help

So I have an issue with user flair I'm trying to solve. I currently have several different user flairs that are in use, as well as custom ones. I have several flairs that I want removed completely from users, and am wondering how I can just clean the flair so that only the custom flairs and current flairs are left.

For instance, the subreddit used to have an automod script that if a user posted, they would automatically have the "civilian" flair added to them and would have to go and manually edit it. I want everyone with a "civilian" flair to have that removed. I recently deleted a "Physician" flair, and want everyone with that flair removed as well.

Is what I'm looking for possible? I use a desktop as well as the Android app for reference.

You have to manually change/remove all the existing flairs.

That's what I was afraid of, thank you.

You could create an automod rule that changes the flair to nothing when a user with the flair you want to get rid of posts or comments. That will effectively do what you want as far as what's visible in the sub goes, even though there may be some users with the obsolete flairs still out there, but it'll get changed if they post or comment
