**OFFICIAL SUB INFO**
-


###[**Basic Rules of MobileRepair**](https://www.reddit.com/r/mobilerepair/wiki/index)

* **1. No Repair Hunting | Searching** This sub is not for people to post spam trying to get more board repair, build your SEO elsewhere. This is a 0 Tolerance ban offence, and will preclude you from being allowed a listing on the vendorlist. Please Visit the VENDORLIST 3.0 BETA and search for a microsoldering / level 2 tech near you. Its that easy! This Applies to ALL REPAIR, not just board repair. Do no offer repair services to ANY USER. This also applies to users looking for repair service, please use our vendorlist.

* **2. No Parts | Tools | Link Requests** We do not allow the requesting of outside links in the sub, To many whole sellers try to use this as a means to use one account to ask the question, and another to post the link. If you need a part of tools, please use our vendorlist website, located at https://vendorlist.mbl.repair

* **3. No Sharing Schematics , Boardviews or LINKS to them**
Unfortunately this puts this sub at risk for legal issues and potential shutdown. The companies that people want to share the schematics and such for the most are notorious for take down notices and the like, and since WE as a group do not get to respond to these and only get to react to reddits decisions, its in the best interest of our groups ability to STAY a group, that we do not share these files, or links to them. =( I would have posted a link with a zip years ago otherwise, - TPG

* **4. No Advertising** This includes advertisement from the vendor itself, or posting the names and links of vendors in the community. We cannot tell whos been paid to post what so all its a no go. All vendor stuff is on the vendorlist! Use it!

* **5. No "is this a good part" Posts.** We have seen an uptick in companies using this "trick" to try and gain backlinks and seo boosts from our subreddit, therefore, these posts will be deleted. The proper post would be to ask how to tell the difference in quality levels for this type of part then to use the vendorlist in the sidebar to find a good vendor. All deleted posts will have the domain put on our ban list as well.

* **6.No Discussion of ICLOUD | FRP BYPASSES | SECURITY BYPASSES**
Let's be real, iCloud and Google Locked are 98% stolen. Same goes for devices who need imei cleaning. Generally, these phones are financed. So that means to clean them would be like vin switching on stolen cars. /r/mobilerepair does not endorse any type of theft or fraud for any reason.

* **7. No Discussion of IMEI CLEANING**
IMEI Cleaning is actual against US Federal law and probably many more countries. Keep it out of here. **0 Tolerance Ban**

* **8. Don't be a Jerk** Be cool with one another.

* **9.No URL Shoteners** Do not use URL shorteners, these generally disguise malware or advertisements.

* **10. Fight for the right to repair, and support the community.**
This sub is 100% Pro Right to Repair, Don't come in here spouting corporate idiocy about only that company being the only one who should repair a device. We exist only because we are the opposite of that.
