###### Policies

 [](#icon-thumbs-up) **Don't be a dick.** Keep it classy or face mod action.

 [](#icon-thumbs-up) Got a question? Need help? Questions should go in the official Q&A thread stickied at the top of the subreddit!

 [](#icon-thumbs-up) Blog and YouTube creators are expected to be active community members and must follow good reddiquette. You can easily participate by answering other people's questions in the Q&A thread, or commenting on other posts.

 [](#icon-thumbs-up) Are you the owner, employee or affiliate of a hobby shop? Contact the moderators before posting links to your shop.

 [](#icon-thumbs-up) Looking to sell your unwanted kits? Want to buy some parts? Post your requests in our monthly Commerce Thread. 

 [](#icon-thumbs-down)Photoshopped works are discouraged. Build submissions should be indicative of your building ability and not overtly aided with computer generated enhancements.

[](#icon-thumbs-down)Do not steal other people's builds, repost or present them as your own. If the build is not yours, flair it with the "Not my Build" but you have to present a good reason in your title why it needs to be part of the discussion. "It looks cool" is not a valid reason. 

[](#icon-thumbs-down)This is a meme-free zone. NO MEMES!

 [](#icon-thumbs-down) Photos of hauls (boxes and unbuilt kits) are not allowed. /r/gunpla Secret Santa posts are exempt from this rule.

 [](#icon-thumbs-down) Please title or frame your posts in a manner to encourage meaningful and healthy discussions with the community.  Posts that serve to instigate a spam trend which disrupts the daily interaction of this subreddit, or post titles which include social media handles (Twitter/Instagram/etc) will be subject to removal.

 [](#icon-thumbs-down) The following are not on topic for the subreddit and belong in an another community. Don't try to skirt this rule by having a Gunpla off in the background of your photo when the main focus is on an off-topic item. 

 - Non-mecha such as: Tanks, Planes, DBZ, Star Wars, Frame Arms Girls / Megami Device / other non-bandai "armored girl" kits. 

 - Or non model kits such as: Action Figures, Dolls, Cosplay, Statues, LEGO

[](#icon-thumbs-down) No hateful content. Political arguments in threads, especially Nazi apologism, is explicitly forbidden (including on "historical accuracy"). The use of swastika or other hate symbol decals are also forbidden.
