CCIP-065 - Custom Flairs with an active Special Membership

TL;DR: Allow custom flairs for users with active special memberships, remove flairs from other users

Hey everyone, I'd like to revive this idea. That poll was overwhelmingly favored at 85% approval and fell just a hair shy of quorum.

Our flair bot u/instamod did a wonderful job for many years, an impressive bot maintained by shimmy and rider. Unfortunately the challenges have mounted recently from traffic volume to API changes and the bot has been unable to function for a while now.

As such, I would like to suggest we implement a new user flair system: Custom flair for those with special memberships. All metal flairs (tin, silver, gold, etc) will be removed.

As outlined in the post above, rule breaking with flairs would of course not be allowed. If instamod is able to return in the future, it is not necessarily incompatible with this idea and we could integrate it. As we can no longer support metal flairs, any rules relying on them (such as for Serious posts) will be adapted or deprecated. Verified users would retain their flair.
