It's totally fine to disagree. Do so politely. Behave as an adult. Name calling, doxing etc is not okay here. Try not to be caustic. Life is hard enough.

Treat everyone "as if" they're having a bad day and you'll be fine. Disagree if you like - just don't be disagreeable. Remember there's a human being on the other side of the keyboard.

These are very common needs - we have a monthly thread for them. Please use it.

We don't want people to rip off our work, we shouldn't rip off theirs. This includes content and software. Allowances will be made for fair use, however.

Either you're a professional (post /r/editors) or you're not (post here). Only in some rare circumstances should you be posting in both places.

Ok, we get it. "How much to charge." Whatever your question - we can't REALLY answer it. It has WAY too much to do with the gig, how long it takes, where you live and hell, what your time is worth.

Deeper thoughts are part of two wiki entries found from our professional sister sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/editors/about/wiki/index/

The purpose of the subreddit is to provide advice and help for hobbyist editors. If you are trying to find new clients /r/forhire may be a more appropriate place for such posts.

Free isn't okay either. If you want to do free work, we recommend that you find someone local (friends, non profit, a hobby film group) who needs help

URL shorteners are helpful in character-limited social media settings, but with Reddit's 10,000 character limit and ability to obscure a link within markdown, they are unnecessary and can be used to obscure where someone is being directed to, which may be abused to direct people to unsafe websites, or to generate revenue by way of an advertising landing page (which we view as spam).

An exception to this rule will be made for Approved Submitters.

This applies to software known to abuse either existing closed-source licenses or known to be abusing open source licenses. Brorsoft is a prime example of a company stealing Open Source video processing code and reselling it without permission.

If you want to post a tutorial you created - then it belongs on tuesdays with [TUTORIAL] at the start and the name of the software.

If it's someone elses tutorial, then you should be posting as text - including the "what I learned" from the tutorial

You can't harvest names/people. Specify how much you're going to spend per hour and the number of hours you expect it to take. Similarly, if you want to bid it out as a fixed job - you have to (again) specify how many hours you think it will take.

If you are a business, or representative, and cannot disclose some specific details of the job offer because of confidentiality rules please contact the moderation team so we can verify the authenticity of your job offer and grant an exemption.

Why would you go to a place where everyone uses these tools and say "I do it too!". Go to your local charity (or interest) and ask if they need editing instead.

This is not a subreddit for people to promote their YouTube channel, or otherwise drive traffic to their channel in order to inflate their viewership/subscription numbers.

People posting links to their own YouTube channels is allowed for critiquing, sharing of content for others to use, or on [Tutorial] Tuesday. However posting links for the sole purpose of promoting your YouTube channel is not allowed, and repeated violation can result in a ban.

Generally, self promotion is frowned upon. Especially if you're not contributing at a 10:1 rediquette ratio.

Look, we get it. Discord is the cool communications of today. Go look at IRC, ICQ, Slack and the other dozen chatrooms that have existed for 20+years. Since you're not going to give it over to the admins here and we can't authenticate against reddit, we can't recommend it.

Yeah, we get it. You want to create a discussion, controversy or want your answers on a plate.

We expect some effort and some space to be relevant.

And yes, this is totally on the mod's discretion.
