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’d say that allowing articles would be good
Like articles about artists, art trends, art history type stuff
I would say that they should still be at moderators discretion.
Keep it art focused with good articles. Remove ones that don’t bring much for the reader.
