- No (Direct) Advertising
- outright advertising your products for sale whether you're a supplier or a crafter. This also applies to (technical) tools and services. Recommendations are still allowed if you have no affiliation.
- Be Civil: Remember that this sub is for new and experienced candle makers alike. We all started somewhere, be kind to each other.
- Safety first: We don’t allow posts/discussions about unsafe candle making practices. This includes but is not limited to flammables in candles, unsafe vessels and other unsafe practices/end products.
- AI Content Policy: Do not post AI content if that content is the focus of your post, for example concepts or labels. If you have an AI logo, or label, on a candle but it isn't the focus of the post it is unlikely to be removed.
- Post in the sub, not from another sub: Post straight into this sub. Posts posted to other subreddits by the same user (reposting) will be removed.
- Put in some effort: Low effort posts with questions that have been asked over and over again will be deleted. Please use the search functionality
