CCIP-044 - Serious Post Updates

As you may have seen, we had Serious posts implemented in CCIP-033 and then recently updated here.

I'd like to propose some updates based on discussions and feedback in the meta sub.

1- 2x karma for comments under Serious posts - To encourage more participation in Serious posts and reward higher quality content on the subreddit. Serious posts are often technical discussion or helping OP with a problem, which I think we'd all like to see more of. This stacks alongside any other modifiers, such as CCIP-001 2x for all comments.

2- Bring back the basic [Serious] tag - Recent updates introduced a multi-tier Serious post system which allows OP to decide what level of rules they want. However, this also introduces complexity. This proposal will reintroduce the basic [Serious] tag as an alias for [Serious-1] so users don't have to learn about the level system, but they can use higher levels if they want to. The basic tag is intuitive and familiar from other subreddits like AskReddit.

3- Require the [Serious] tag in the title - This one has a few reasons behind it:

• Titles are immutable, unlike flairs and body text which the author can modify. This is also probably a required change if we want any specific rules for moon rewards around Serious threads.
• The [Serious] tag in the title is familiar from other subreddits like AskReddit
• Body text is prone to bugs

4- Require Bronze level flair or higher to create Serious posts - This will prevent the lowest tier users (Tin) from creating Serious posts to prevent farming abuse and keep quality high.
