New Sub Rules

Ladies and Gentlemen,We will employing new rules for this sub starting today. In the past we have opted to let the community police what it wants to see with the up/down voting. But that apparently hasn’t been working and too many people are complaining about the content of the sub.So going forward we will be implementing the following rules. These rules are NOT set in stone. They are subject to change with proper discussion and seeing how it all plays out.The new rules are as follows,Any post containing a test print, or a failed print must contain a question from someone looking for help more in depth than “How can I make this better?”. This includes benchies, spaghetti posts etc. If you can’t be bothered to put enough detail in your post about your issue it will be removed. When it comes to troubleshooting posts, it will be Mods Discretion.No Meme’s or random pictures that remind you of 3D Printing. Any posts that are not directly related to 3D Printing will be removed.No selling/trading printers or filament. See other subs for trading/selling equipment.No General “Look at my new printer!” posts. Exception Only if you have done something unique with your installation or setup and explained what it is in your post.Laws in your country don’t mean the law is the same in other countries. We will not be removing or policing posts to protect other peoples or companies copyrights/patents/laws/reputation/hurt_feelings. If you feel you have a legitimate legal problem immediately contact the general Reddit Admins.Any user that attempts to purposefully mislead a person into damaging their equipment/themselves/others will result in post removal and possibly a ban of that user.People have off days. Jerks will be ignored and down-voted. But if someone is continually being distributive to the community in multiple threads they will be banned at mods discretion.Any posts about functional 3D Printed Guns, Gun Accessories or 3D Printed Gun news will be removed. While laws are different everywhere, there are other avenues/subs for you to explore and feel this sub as a general 3D Printing sub doesn’t need to explore this avenue. Other weapons, paintball/airsoft or cosplay prints are allowed.These rules are going into effect immediately. Please discuss below your appreciation or dislike of any rule and state why. In our current state of only 3 moderators, we will need the communities help at first to moderate the transition. So please feel free to use the report button to bring posts to our attention that need to be taken care of.Thank you all for your cooperation.To keep some of the fun, we are implementing a weekly “MEME MONDAY” post where meme’s and silly posts can be posted.The Mod TeamEDIT: You guys are doing a GREAT job on the discussion of these new rules. Especially the last one. You guys are bringing up a lot of really good/valid points for and against it. Keep the discussion going. I encourage anyone to rewrite any portion of these rules in their own words below if they believe it would be more clear. Thanks guys/gals! http://ift.tt/2xuIYi9
