What is a Life Pro Tip?

A Life Pro Tip (or LPT) is a tip that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.

NO POLITICS

LifeProTips Rules

  1. Designate adult or non-family friendly tips as NSFW.

  2. You must begin your post with "LPT" or "LPT Request".

  3. Do not submit tips that could be considered common sense or common courtesy.

  4. Use descriptive titles when posting! Your title should explain the gist of the LPT.

  5. Posts must be either a life pro tip or a request for one.

  6. No tips that are considered illegal in the United States. See: Grounds for permanent bans.

  7. No religious or religion related tips. We are a religion free zone. Proselytize elsewhere.

  8. Please remember to Flair your post for ease of navigation of the subreddit!

Disallowed Life Pro Tips

These types of tips are not allowed and will be removed.

  • Product or service recommendations for their intended use. *Medical, Legal, Financial tips. We cannot verify the qualification of those making those tips. This includes practicing medicine, eye/vision, skin care, dental advice, diet/nutrition, and mental health. Medication tips. Law tips. Biomedical donations. Credit building tips.
  • Hygiene, personal grooming tips including make-up and hair.
  • Toilet-related tips.
  • Non-secular tips.
  • Tips about social networks, including Reddit, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter.
  • Tip lists or articles (Example: "Top ten tips you need to know!").
  • Parenting-related posts/tips.
  • Relationship posts/tips.
  • Troll or joke tips.
  • Commonly posted tips (Click here for an index of common LPTs)
  • Political posts/tips.
  • Driving related tips.
  • Pokemon Go-related tips.

Note: Moderators will use their own discretion to remove any post that they believe is low-quality or not considered a life pro tip.

Banning policy

Bans are given out immediately and serve as a warning. You may appeal this initial ban by messaging the moderators and agreeing not to break the rules again. Please acknowledge the rule you broke!

Note: Homophobia, racism, harassment and general hate on ethnicity, sex, religion or anything else will result in a permanent ban that cannot be appealed. Tips that advocate/support illegal activities are also grounds for a permanent ban as well. Tips or comments that encourage behavior that can cause injury or harm to others will be cause for a ban. As the majority of LPT Mods are US Based, we will be using US laws to determine whether or not it's legal.

Thank you.
