Asking this because I saw an article being posted today but the fifth submission rule (which is part of the pinned post on top) states:
Post only images. No gifs, videos or articles.
the rules were written (and partially ripped off from r/art) towards the inception of the community, at a time when I naively believed we’d be flooded with all kinds of posts in need of tremendous filtration, but that proved to not be the case.
- Do you believe in the promotion of art regardless of the medium?
- Do you wish for a strict image only showcase of artworks?
- Do you favor the traditional_art taking a more forum-like path by encouraging texts and articles?
Just like how the video issue was settled, I’d like to open the article issue to the floor and let the viewers decide what’s best for the community moving forward.
I’m fine with articles, but would prefer them to be informative about process or history. It’d also be nice if any posted article included a piece of art in the thumbnail, so everyone still gets something to look at.
