r/501st

As the population and popularity of our subreddit grows, we’ve recognized a need to adapt and evolve our rules to better serve our community. After much consideration and feedback from all of you, we’ve refined the language and scope of our rules to make our community safer and more welcoming to all.

We’ll be rolling out the new rules in the coming days, so keep an eye out for updates to the subreddit rules. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback and questions.

Listing of Armourers/Vendors – Directly identifying armourers/vendors is prohibited. Identifying them increases the risk of litigation to them, the 501st, and our subreddit. This means that posts that include direct links to armourers/vendors, listing vendors for individual costume parts/sets, or public offers to sell costumes/parts are prohibited. Anyone requesting this information should be directed to the appropriate detachment forum. A listing of these detachments can be found here:

Keep it Civil – This is a civil subreddit. We are all here to share our love of Star Wars and costuming. Feel free to engage in polite discourse, but keep the language PG (there are minors here), and show respect to each other, to Disney/Lucasfilm, and Star Wars in general. You’re welcome to dislike whatever you want, just be mature about how you voice your dislike.

Spam/Unrelated Content – This community has been very active about flagging spam and unrelated content, and that has kept our community clean and safe for everyone. If it’s not about the 501st, helpful information about costuming, or the costumes we make, it belongs elsewhere.

Thank you all for being vigilant and helping to keep our subreddit active and focused. If you see any content that violates these rules, or just seems suspect in general, please continue to report it. Your mod team is working to keep the content on topic and the subreddit safe and enjoyable for us all.
