Community consultation: allowing build requests

Over on the subreddit, we’re holding a community consultation about a potential rule change. This would allow users to post requests for full builds, which are currently banned. This would entail a rewording of rule 2, as well as the following changes:

  1. We would generate a new flair ‘Parts list request’ so that users can filter these posts according to their preference.
  2. Posts flaired ‘Parts list request’ would be prompted to give sufficient information for the community to make sound recommendations. Requested information would include:
  • Location
  • Budget (with currency specified)
  • The purpose of the PC
  • Any parts or peripherals currently owned

Head on over to /r/buildapc to weigh in on the changes!
