Traditional ArtEnglish · 8 days ago

From the beginning, this community has only allowed images as posts.

Recently with the community getting more activity there have been a number of users posting articles as posts. I’ve had a user ask where the appropriate place to post art articles is, and I didn’t have a good answer for them. As far as I can see there isn’t a true fit.

After giving it some thought, I’m going to trial a new post rule and see how it goes with the community.

Articles as posts WILL be allowed, so long as the article focuses on traditional art or traditional artists in relation to their art. Articles as posts must be tagged in the title with [ARTICLE].

Sidebar will be changed to match.
