r/Welding Subreddit Rules
You must give a location for work or school posts.
Please, if you're asking for advice on school or work, list your location. Welding differs a great deal in terms of training options and requirements so it's difficult to offer advice without knowing where you are.
Knowledge and Information/facts
If you're asking if something is something, please give some background, will it hold a load, is it pressurized, is it in anyway critical etc. There are times when 'good enough' is fine and times where it puts someone's life in danger. You don't want to be responsible for an injury. Please see the extended wiki If you're giving advice, ensure you aren't talking out your ass. You may be asked for references.
Act like a human being
Enjoy your stay here, but be respectful. This isn't a place to take your frustrations out on other people. Those coming here for help deserve respect and helpful advice. If you spend your time here badmouthing others or generally being a cocky mouthpiece, you may find yourself without the privilege anymore. If you report a comment, please message the mods and tell us why. If you post someone else's work, make a note that it's not yours.
School interview assignments
With very few exceptions, these will be removed as they are reviewed. Your instructor does not want you to interview random, anonymous people on the internet for the assignment. One of the reasons for assignments like this is to get you familiar with the industry in your area and to talk to people where you are. There are vast differences between geographical regions within countries and continents, so it it very important to find out what it's like where you are.
Unsafe behaviour
r/welding is a technical subreddit for information and showing off skills, it is also a place a lot of younger students come to gain some old-hand knowledge. We all love a joke but stupid behaviour will not be tolerated. OSHA/OH&S etc, standards should apply at all times. Set an example for others to follow
Karma farming/stolen content or 'welds in the wild'/Meme Monday
If you post something that isn't yours for any reason other than to learn more about it, it may be removed. If you post bad welds that are not your own, the post will be removed. In addition, Memes are permitted on Mondays. Please tag your posts with the flair provided so that users may search for memes more easily and get their dose throughout the week.
Decorum
Anything that falls outside of standard acceptable conduct for the community in general.
Automotive/motorcycle frame repair
Modifications to vehicles beyond bodywork: Anything to do with the frame of a vehicle, roll cages or any integral safety component on a car should be done by a qualified welder/mechanic unless you have a VERY good insurance policy. See the above section, if you don't know, take it to someone and find out. As much as we are able to help, we are anonymous strangers who you have no recourse against if something goes wrong. A highway or raceway is not the place to test your garage hero welding skill
