As I'm sure you've noticed, we've added the need for post approval before your submissions will appear in the subreddit. This was done as an orchestrated effort to improve the overall experience of what you consume (and what consumes you) while you visit r/ArtGW.

Please note that if your post isn't approved, that doesn't mean we think what you've submitted is bad. It means that we think it doesn't fit the aesthetic we're trying to curate. Ultimately what stays and what goes is up to the mod team's discretion. We thank you for your understanding and encourage you to keep creating, keep submitting, and keep appreciating.

Edit to add: if we view your profile and you post the same ten photos/videos over and over for extended periods, you'll be banned.

You must have a total karma of over 200 and your account must have existed for over 21 days to post in r/ArtGW. The automod will immediately remove any posts made by accounts in violation. This is to cut back on spam.

If your account is established, meaning you've got plenty of post karma, but have a habit of regularly deleting posts so that only your most recent appear on your profile, that behavior is highly suspect and I will remove your posts.

Rule 1: If you didn't create it, don't share it!

• Basically, if you didn't take the photo, draw the picture, record the gif, or paint the painting, don't post it.

Exceptions to this rule are if you're the muse/subject in the image. No other exceptions.

Rule 2: No Rule34

• Meaning anything that isn't model and artist, don't post it.

No cartoon/comic characters, no TV characters, no actors, no porn stars, etc. We aren't saying those creations aren't art, we're just saying this isn't the sub for them.

Rule 3: No soliciting / No involving people not in image

• NO SOLICITATION. No asking for upvotes, invitations of any kind, requests for follows, asking for models or commissions, etc. And please, for fuck's sake, stop quoting that scene from Titanic.

This also means outwardly seeking something from someone that isn't in the image. When you directly adress another party in a sentence stating your desire, such as "I want you", that's outwardly seeking. If you use the title "Left wanting", or something similar that doesn't directly address another person, it won't break the rule. Hope this helps!

This means no titles like the following: "Is this art?" "Hope you like [whatever]!" "Would you f*ck me?" "I think I'm [any negative thing], do you?" "Commissions are open!" "Come [action] with me?" "Looking for someone to [action]!"

Get creative with your titles! How does your work make you feel?

Rule 4: No paid site links

• No soliciting your paid sites. We absolutely support your right to sell content, but don't sell it here. This platform is for sharing art, not advertising.

This includes, but is not limited to, Onlyfns (even FREE Onlyfns, because you can still make a profit there) and Patreon. Any link you click and have to pay a subscription to view the content is a no go.

Rule 5: Be creative!

• If you're going to share a photo of ONLY your genitalia, make sure it isn't just an everyday dick/pussy pic. Be creative! Use lighting, angles, props, or photo editing to make it interesting for everyone.

We've all seen penis. We've all seen vulva. Now make it ART. If you want to share your dick/pussy without putting any artistic effort into the photo, there a plenty of other subs to do that.

Rule 6: Post limit

• Please limit the number of posts you make to 2 per 24hr period. Anything more than that will be removed.

Rule 7: No phone visible in photos

• Smartphone photography is absolutely acceptable, but we shouldn't be able to see your smartphone in the photo.

Most smartphones have a timer function in the camera app, and some smartphones even have a voice activated shooting feature. Use those instead!

Rule 8: NO SPAM

• If you share an image to five or more NSFW subreddits, including this one, please be aware that your post will be removed and you will be banned from sharing with us again. Putting a filter on the image to "make it different" will not exclude it from this rule.

Reddit is a wonderful platform for sharing your work, but there's absolutely no reason why you should abuse it by sharing the same photo or gif to every NSFW subreddit.

Rule 9: Do NOT include your age in the title or body of your post

• We don't need to know your age to appreciate your art. Let the art speak for itself!

​

HAPPY ARTING!
