Subreddit Rules
- Posts must be in English: To allow as much interaction between subreddit visitors as possible, all posts should be in a language that as many people as possible understand. Since Reddit is a primarily English website, that's the language of choice.
- Posts must be related to manufacturing: As it says on the tin: if your post is not related to manufacturing, it's not appropriate for this subreddit.
- Keep things business casual: We're striving for a business casual, welcoming atmosphere.
- Selling products or services is not allowed, nor is other self promotion: This community should be a place to relax, share experiences and speak to colleagues in an informal setting. Sales offers distract from our focus and do not fit with these goals. This includes free trials, surveys, and similar promotional offerings.
- Interactions should be on personal title, not as representative of your business or employer.
- Replying to requests is this rule's only exception.** Replies should primarily be informative and you must have a non-commercial track record.
- Company blogs are only allowed on Saturdays: **This rule only allows company blogs you are unaffiliated with.
- 4 still applies.**
- Blogs are often used to post disguised advertisements for the related companies. Links inside the text or elsewhere on the same page lead viewers to the company's offered services. Therefore they're a way of avoiding rule 4.
- However, every now and then there are blogs with useful information. To allow these, **company blogs can only be posted on Saturdays based on UTC time.**
- Surveys, questionnaires and (product/market/academic) research are not allowed: This is not the place for your market research, your research respondents, or surveys of any kind. Not only do you have no idea who these respondents are, causing a high chance of illegitimate responses, it also is not the content we are looking for. Try /r/samplesize or other subreddits dedicated to this purpose.
- If you break this rule for some AI tool, we'll permaban you.
- Video submissions are heavily restricted: Video submissions are only allowed if they meet very strict conditions. See [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/manufacturing/comments/o1f8jn/new_rule_restrictions_to_video_submissions/?) for the requirements.
- Follow reddiquette: In /r/manufacturing, please follow [reddiquette](https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439).
- No low effort posts: Put effort in your post, so that commenters have something to go on. Include sufficient details.
- Specifically for "How to manufacture ..."-posts, examples to include are dimensions, desired quantity, a budget / cost per unit, and a sketch or drawing, if you're willing to produce overseas or locally, and more.
- Posts written by ChatGPT, Google Bard, or other AI services are not permitted: Most posts and comments written by AI services tend to be low-effort and sales-oriented. Using them to improve your grammar and spelling is fine, especially for non-native English speakers. But, please only include your own content.
- Discuss in the open: To make discussion as valuable as possible, it's important to have it out in the open. If you move the conversation to DMs, other people can't learn from it anymore. Therefore, we do not allow suggestions to move discussion to DMs.
