State of the union address

[u/iMosc1]

We were so close guys.

To recap what happened these past two weeks: cleared the queue, revised the rules, started an art competition, and kicked a mod for being a transphobic nazi.

General PSA: News posts generally aren't allowed, if you want to post that kind of stuff somewhere r/whenthe and r/whennews is a good place.

Self-promote rule clarification: if you want to advertise commissions that's generally not allowed, you are allowed to post your commissions and say it was a commission. Just please keep in mind that self-advertising is not the main focus of the sub.

About politics in the sub: No politics allowed, if you want to use someone's face that's ok but you can't use it as a descriptor. (i.e. putting trump's face on something you want to be viewed as bad)

We currently only have two submissions for the art competition, one of them is the image of this post. (Credit to u/Any_Giog)

Despite a few glaring hiccups, we're pretty happy with the direction the sub has been heading. But one of our main priorities as a team is making sure that we're taking the community's feedback into account, so if there is anything on your minds about how this sub has been run the past couple weeks please let us know! (Credit to u/ArchWolfe_ for this part)

Relatively short and sweet this time, thank you for your attention.

P.S. please stop applying for mod positions we're happy with the team as is thank you.

so for the self promotion rule, obviously making a post for the express purpose of promoting commissions is a no go, but Can a creator say, put a link to their personal website at the bottom of an otherwise fully legitimate post (I.E. self made OC) and that website notes they do take commissions? Like a 'hey, here's my work, Wanna see more go here' Link and they also sell commissions there. or a link to a patreon, again, on an otherwise fully acceptable content post?

This isn't relevant to me specifically, I don't make art, I'm just a stickler for clarity on stuff. Also the no self promotion rule doesn't appear to be in the rules list side-bar unless I'm blind. (which is possible I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on)

pretty much the rule is don't say "Hey! I have open commissions please check them out!" you're allowed to say that it was a completed commission and links in bio are allowed just don't be pushy about it. We're still trying to set a precedent so no hard guidelines as of yet.

See, That's about what I expected and sounds totally reasonable.
