After reaching a certain amount of upvotes or posts, etc, I suggest you give VLR members another slot for adding another flair.
Ex) Primary team flair, Secondary team flair. Or adding 5 stars and whoever has 5 stars can have 2 flairs, etc.
Or open up slots to represent 1 team's flair for each region. (open 4 flairs max as reward, or just 2 regional flairs representation, etc)
Point: Maybe add like a reward system on VLR for an upgrade?
Think it'll be a good, fun idea.
