We don't allow drop shipping, mass production, or Kickstarter-style promotional posts. - POST REQUIREMENTS
Each post type has it's own required flair, and each flair has it's own post requirements. We've done our best to keep these simple while also making sure the minimum needed information is given for artists and buyers to connect. You can find more information about what's needed per each post in our [rules under "Post Requirements".](https://www.reddit.com/r/artstore/wiki/rules/) - SALES POSTS ONLY
r/ArtStore is a place for buying, selling, and promoting work only. We're not a sub for discussing trends or marketing. For something similar, try r/ArtBusiness. - ART THEFT AND AI
[Our AI Policy](https://www.reddit.com/r/artstore/wiki/index/ai_policy/) || [Full Rules on Art Theft](https://www.reddit.com/r/artstore/wiki/rules/) In short, we only allow third party posts by galleries, and those galleries must state they are galleries representing the artist. Otherwise, you may only post your own work. We do not allow generative AI of any kind. Presenting another artist's work as your own, attempting to scam the community, or using AI is grounds for an immediate ban. - NSFW CONTENT
While we do allow NSFW posts, they must have the NSFW filter if any of the images in the post have nude, overtly suggestive, sexually themed content, or gratuitous violence or gore. We do not allow images which depict body types which appear to be children to a reasonable individual nude, in suggestive or sexual positions or situations. - SUB SPAMMING
To avoid spamming on the sub, we allow one post every two days. If you are found to be excessively spamming links to your work in comments on this sub it may result in a removal of your comments or a temporary ban. Repeating this behavior may result in a permanent ban from our sub. - SITEWIDE SPAMMING
Excessively spamming links or off-topic comments with little to no other account activity, your posts may be removed and you may be banned from our sub. Site spamming is against Reddit's Terms of Service, and is a sign of bad faith for our community. - HARASSMENT
Treat others with respect. This should be an easy rule to follow. If you've had a bad experience with someone on our sub, please reach out to us via ModMail so we can investigate the situation and remove any bad actors from our community. - DON'T MINIMOD
While we really love when people are helpful, at the end of the day trying to police the sub through arguments isn't actually helping anyone. Arguing with people who are behaving badly on the sub generally just feeds their bad behavior. Please report bad actors so the mod team can show them the door instead. We're happy to step in for bad situations and, when it's needed, show people who are harmful to the community the door. - NO EMERGENCY POSTS
We understand bad situations occur in life, but every artist posting here is looking for money. Due to the way people often abuse the title "emergency", we've decided not to allow it on our sub. - FIVERR
We don't allow links to Fiverr. Fiverr has a predatory business model which takes 20% of the artist's payment before processing fees and has an over-extended delay for payment to be released from Fiverr to the artist. There are many other ways to find work. Be careful out there, artists!
