Moderators: Why is flair limited to distributors? Could we add flair based on our qualifications (i.e., PhD, PharmD, graduate student, nutritionist, etc.)?

Knowing if what we are reading is coming from a trained professional is certainly worth noting when considering supplementation.

While not a horrible idea, it would take a lot of time to verify everyone. Also, it could be beneficial in some cases, but it might also just make appeals to authority more prevalent, and detract from facts and sourcing. If some random dude with no qualifications properly interprets and cites data on say 5-HTP, should that be treated with less weight than an anecdote from someone with a masters in pharmacology? Would it lead to more useful conversations, or would it lead to more arguments about qualifications?
