##Our Posting Policy: 

__Treat the other readers with courtesy and respect__ It is okay to offend people on r/knives, but it isn’t okay to put any effort into it. Posts and comments inciting violence, harassment or discrimination based on someone’s physical features, personal beliefs and place of birth/place of residency are not welcome here.   
    
* Be helpful, polite, and welcoming to knife newbies. Beginners are friends, not food.   

__Stay on topic__ You can post anything as long as it is related to knives: buying knives, collecting knives, sharpening tips, maintenance tips, how you use your knives, news related to the knife world in general, knife memes, etc… If there’s a knife in your post, feel free to post it.

__About "NSFW" content__ NSFW content is, for the most part, permitted on this sub as long as it’s not: gore, knife fights (and fights in general) or pornography of any kind.

__No selling__ It's OK to share the things you've made or a cool new product you've discovered, but this isn't the place to market products or web sites. Even the pros deserve to have a place where they can just hang out and be hobbyists again. It can be a fine line sometimes, but try to stay on the non-commercial side of it. YouTube links, amazon affiliate links and any online shop links are not allowed in here.

* Ads, promotions, product announcements, giveaways, AMAs, kickstarters, and links to self-owned businesses, facebook pages and blogs will usually be removed. _It's OK to promote a thing you love and the hobby you enjoy, but it's not OK to promote yourself or your business interest._    

* If you've made a knife and you're proud of it, post it. Do not post pricing or ordering information. 

* Links to self-owned youtube videos are allowed at moderator discretion; on-topic, sincere user content is welcome. Posts are more likely to be removed if they are originate from accounts used to frequently post self-owned links, or which cross the line into promotion of commercial products or of the channel itself. Product reviews, new product announcements, knifemaking videos, and anything beginning with "This week's episode" are especially unlikely to survive.

__Do not publish someone’s personal information without their consent__ Publish someone’s info without their consent and you might get banned.

__No illegal activities__ This includes any activities that could get you in trouble with local or international authorities.
