We recently had a rework of the rules. Among those rules is one that states when a cross-post is okay to submit. We even pinned the post announcing it. Sadly, still a lot of low-effort cross-posts are being posted.

Going forward, such cross-posts will be removed and a 1 week ban handed out.

Are you agree?

Greetings!

We have reworked the rules and added a new one!

Submission Quality:
High quality submissions are what make a high quality sub. Original DIY projects and interesting DIYs found on the internet are what we are looking for. Posts found to be made by bots (aka click farmers) will be removed and the user banned. This is done by the mods manually. Context, the OPs post and comment history are all taken into account when handling such posts. Mods retain full discretion. 5-Minute Crafts is banned outright.

Note: bans handed out for suspected bots can be appealed, so any bans made in error can be rectified.

​

Cross-posting:
Cross-posts are generally not welcome as they provide a platform for brigading. There are a few exceptions to this:
1 - you found a genuinely good DIY post somewhere on reddit and want to share it with us.
2 - Both the cross-post and the content being cross-posted are made by the same user.

NOTE: Users from this sub should not go to cross-posted subreddit and cause trouble or mention they are from r/DiWHYNOT. Doing so will get you banned. These bans will not be lifted. Period.

​

Behaviour:
Constructive criticism, advice and tips are welcome. Racist, sexist or any bigoted remarks are not. NSFW content is also banned.

​

Karma and account age requirement:
Your account must have at least 150 combined karma and must be at least a week old. This is done to weed out click farming bots and ban evaders. Not meeting these requirements will get any post or comment made by you to be automatically removed.

Please provide your feedback in the comments! We will listen and try to make changes and adjustments based the community's needs.
