Hello everyone hope you had a good holiday and are settling into the new year.
We on the BIFL mod team have been discussing how we want to improve this year and after a long discussion we are ready to roll out phase 1 of the changes this includes.
Updating our Rules:
1 This is a subreddit emphasizing products that are Durable, Practical, Proven, and Made-to-Last.
2 Products that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are accepted.
3
Except on weekends, when posting about a product, make sure it's still available for purchase, or a similar product is still available from that brand, and include a product name. After all, this is Buy It For Life.3 Requests Post titles Must begin with [Request]. should include your budget (if any), products you have already searched, and how you'll primarily be using the product.
4 Use the search bar and check the sidebar/wiki before making a request.
5 Low-effort Posts will be removed.
6 BIFL product posts must include the Brand, years owned or Date of purchase Circa the decade is acceptable on items older than 1990
7 No handmade items and no new or unreleased products
8 No referral codes or affiliate links.
9 /r/BuyItForLife is not a place to advertise your business. Want to advertise on Reddit? Start here.
summary of changes Here:
-
Old rule 3 has been removed
-
the rest of the rules shift in its place.

rule 4 (now 3) has been expanded.

rule 6 and 7 have been added.
these rules come into effect immediately on all future posts.
An update to Post Flairs:
As you may have seen some posts have flairs with a category before this was done by hand by the mod team but today we are opening this for users to be able to flair their own posts now.
New Sticky threads
To coniside with the New Rule 5 are now having a weekly discussion thread on smaller BIFL items/discussion/questions or Requests or commonly requested
Every Tuesday at 12:00 UTC we will have a “Simple Questions or Requests of [16/01/2016]” Thread.
We would love to here what you think of these new changes and what you think we still need to improve or change you can either comment in this thread or message us directly.
Thanks
