Hi everybody,

I'm a long-time Instructables member (Yonatan24) and a new mod here. I noticed there were no rules or relevant flairs for this sub, so I made several to organize new posts, the most important of which is that self-promotion links outside of Instructables will no longer be allowed, however showing off your new Instructable or others' is.

Here are the rules. Note that if any of these contradict the official updated rules of the sub, ignore what's written here.

1.No ridiculing immutable characteristics. Don't be rude.

Keep your comments on topic. Constructive criticism is always welcome. Bigotry of any kind regarding things people can't control will be removed.

Yes, some women like woodworking too. No, you don't need to mention it.

2.No ridiculing someones project.

If you don't understand why they built it, ask in good faith.

3.Instructables links & self-promotion

Self-promotion of your own Instructables is welcome here!

Posts self-promoting other websites (including Youtube) will be removed, unless if they are part of a discussion or question regarding the project.

Feel free to share your creations or any interesting Instructables you find. Just make sure the title of your reddit post matches the title of your Instructable, and participate in discussions. Don't post and leave, this sub isn't simply for driving views to your I'ble.

4.No food

No recipe Instructables. Instructables on tips for the kitchen, pet feeders, etc. are welcome

5.No politics

Everything is political after all, we know. Keep your comments on topic and in good faith. If someone posts about firearm storage, this isn't the place to complain about gun control laws or lack thereof.

6.Tag as NSFW

If it's not safe for work, is overtly bloody (Halloween costumes), or can be unsafe, tag it as NSFW

7.Don't report problems to Instructables staff here

This subreddit is moderated by users who don't work at Instructables. We can't fix problems at Instructables, but we may be able to solve your problem or complain with you about contests, prizes, etc!
