• Requests for trades, requests to buy and letting others know you are selling bottle caps.

• Links to bottle cap auctions on Ebay, Craigslist, etc...

• Posting pictures of unknown caps to seek help identifying them.

• Displaying collections.

• Asking questions related to the hobby (eg. seeking methods for repairing damaged caps) which are not covered in the FAQ.

• Anything relating to obtaining information on caps, or the drinks themselves. This is more or less the general rule from which all of the other subreddit rules are derived.

• Making posts about feedback about a trade that you had with another user. This keeps the community safe.

• Bottle cap art, as long as it shows your different caps. If it's just the same cap over and over again or you can't actually see the design on the cap, it should not be posted. If you want to show bottle cap art and it doesn't not satisfy these criteria, you can now post it on r/BottleCap_Art!

Things that are not allowed

• Posts asking questions that are answered in the FAQ. It has a lot of good community answers, so you will most likely find your answer here.

• Posts related to Fallout. Comments related to Fallout are allowed. I only say this because I want this subreddit to lean more towards actually collecting and getting information on caps, rather than memes.

• Stories.

• Motivational posts that happen to involve bottle caps .

• Anything not involved with actually collecting caps or collecting information on caps.

• Very frequent posting (i.e. don't post something every day or two)

• Nothing related to non fungible tokens (NFTs)

• No posts that are not tailored to this subreddit. Basically, if you have submitted the same post to a bunch of other subreddits, it is not tailored to this subreddit and should not be posted.

If you would like to submit something, but are not sure if it is appropriate for this sub, feel free to message one of the mods!

If you want a custom flair (especially if you want to display your CC.I or CCSI identification number), let us know and we will make it for you!
