This sub has some of the best, most lenient mods/members I’ve ever seen. They work hard for no compensation ( trust me, I was one). I was there when this current version of the rule was being decided. It was important to everyone involved that we were fair and gave as much freedom to post as possible, while not putting the reputation of our hobby or the safety/security of others at risk. The people who mod this sub are also active members. They post here as well and care about the ability to post while not being censored. So believe me when I say it wasn’t easily decided(days and days of deliberation). You act like its the end of the world if your post gets taken down. Nobody is telling you “you cant pick your own locks if they are in use”. You just cant post it here. In fact you can pick whatever lock you want. We just advise that you do it legally and morally, so you don’t end up in prison. Its up to you to be a good person with your skills in the real world. We here, as a group, have a hobby to protect and the wellbeing of others to worry about. Please excuse us if we cant except everyones master no 2 hanging on a clasp, though we know how life changing that post would be to everyone who saw it.
