It's come to my attention that some of the moderators have been going beyond their call of duty to keep up with non-English posts and comments. As our job here is to promote safety, and this forum continues to grow exponentially, I can't have them getting sidetracked into translating stuff. For now, I ask that any foreign/non-English speaking members use GBT to translate their comments and posts before participating in order to reduce moderator workload and keep r/sounding a happy and productive venue. There is currently no penalty for this, but please understand the reasoning behind it and do your part to help out the moderation team and other members. Moderators have been instructed to remove posts and comments that are not in English without question. If your post or comment is removed and sited for this, please feel free to repost in English. Thank you for your attention.

In an effort to promote safe sounding, professionalism in this craft, and the high standards set forth in this forum, as of September 1st, 2025, the penalty for violating Rule #1 (No posting of images or videos featuring the use of unprofessional sounding tools) is being extended from a 30 day ban, to a 60 day ban. All rules are clearly available to all members. It is your job to read them before posting.

Educational *discussion" of unsafe tools is permitted as long as it is marked with correct flare. Posts of this nature are intended for educational purposes only as discussions are meant to meant to preserve free speech and educate future generations on what not to do. Any comments or posts in blatant support of using unprofessional tools may be removed at a Mods discretion.

Message the Mod team if you are confused or have questions.
