Find users with specific flair

Our subreddit accidentally has a flair meant for a moderator accidentally set to be assignable by all users and we want to clean them up. How we can find users having a specific flair text, rather than doing it user-by-user?

On desktop, if it matters.

Isamu Ohira (GT1-GT4 menu music composer): "To be honest, I wasn't aware that not only the theme song but also the background music had been replaced for the Western version of the very first GT. Anyway, I'm still working."

992 Turbo SC 17​ 13​ 6​ 2​ 9.5​ Road - DE 1.70​

Average score for all cars this year so far:

  • 47 pages of styles
  • 44 pages of scape photos
  • 31 pages of race photos
  • 18 pages of replays
  • 35 pages of all content type per car

Analysis:

  • 992 GT3 R maxes out all shared content types already
  • Efini FD RX-7 '91 popularity is no surprise since it's a JDM and GT classic
  • Twingo beat all other race cars (Elantra N TC and the LMH/LMDhs) proving its memetic popularity, but somehow lost the overall podium to Camaro Race-Mod
  • 963 and Elantra N TC averages seems to be carried by replays (daily race qualifying laps? 963 was qualifying meta at Le Mans LMH-only daily)
  • LMHs/LMDhs having lower styles numbers than expected (all of them have more scapes photos than styles, except for 963) seems to be "same liveries are enough" issue (also affecting the Delta HF WRC and MP4/4) as well as due to their high prices at 3 million a pop. 963 and 499P top two in shared styles among LMH/LMDhs explainable by alternate WEC/IMSA variations and the Modificata respectively, though.

Data is pulled by searching for each specific content type on Showcase on per-car basis.

Tire info from 2025 GTWS Round 1 in London - relevant for Saturday's Nations race (X2019 at GVH1 Reverse)

Note: The GTWS race in question ran with 4x tire wear while the in-game round will be with 5x, however since the difference is only 1x, this should also still apply.

At least 2 compounds must be used, or you will get a penalty at the end of the race.

New early GT3 proto build (dated March 30, 2001) found and dumped

Another GT3 build and a GT4 build was also dumped along with this, but these are close to demo disc builds (GT2000 transition build-based demo discs - although the build in question was built close to Replay Theater Autobacs Seven rolling demo - and GT4 First Preview) respectively.
