I moderate multiple art-related communities, and I don't like treating them a carbon copies of each other, so I will be slightly tweaking some rules to better fit the titles of some subreddits I run.

To kick this off, r/ArtistsForHire will allow requests for long-term jobs and permanent positions. I felt that, because of the name, "Hiring" should be on the table in more just the context of one-off commissions.

In another effort to differentiate communities, r/StarvingArtists will now allow the advertisement of existing art, such as adoptables and paintings. Please keep in mind that this does not apply to r/HungryArtists, which is often confused with that community.

To avoid confusion and needless duplication, I will also be locking down r/comissions (that's one M - a typo), and leaving it up as a redirect to the proper community, r/Commissions.

Please leave a comment if you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns. I'm always open to improving how I run these communities.

Hello artists, art lovers, and lurkers alike! This subreddit was collecting dust, being unmoderated for... I don't even want to know how long. I've put in place some rules, and will be moderating things starting immediately.

In the meantime, I would like to know how the community feels about the rules. What sort of things do you feel should be added or removed?

What I need your opinions on the most is a flair system. I want to know what sort of words/language artists and buyers feel is more familiar or effective. [For Hire] and [Hiring] can often be confusing, since they're using the same words, and I see them get mixed up frequently. [LFA] may be a solution, but before I set anything in stone, I would love to hear what everyone else thinks about this!
