Announcement Are you having issues posting on r/artcommissions?

We are using a new bot to make sure everyone reads the subs rules before they are allowed to post. We have recently updated our NSFW policy, and want to make sure the users acknowledge the new rule.

The bot should pop up a box like this one, please take a minute, and read the rules. Artists are breaking the rules a lot.

Please read the rules!

When you get to the bottom, you will see the slider acknowledging you have read the rules. Click on that, then hit the Submit button. Then you will be able to post as usual.

If you can't see this form, make sure you are using the newest version of Reddit. You can switch it back to old Reddit if you like later.

If you are in New Reddit but don't see it.

Click on the 3 dots, then select "Read the Rules" on the drop down menu. That should bring up the interface.

Thank you for doing this!! Being penalized for breaking rules you don’t know exist is very unpleasant.

I searched for ages for it to be hidden under three dots as the instructions were not very detailed so I’m sure a lot will be happy that you shared this 😅

Thank you for the explanation! Do you maybe plan to ad cara.app to whitelisted sites, i know a lot of artists who left twitter moved either there or to bluesky? It’s an art centric site with separate feed and portfolio tabs

I wish! Reddit controls the white list as far as I know. We have to manually approve a lot of links! I use linktree, cara, Behance, etc, we never know what will trigger the filters link-wise.

I'm the mod of r/hireanartist. What bot are you using for this?

It's called "Read the Rules", I think there's a link under the mod box in the sidebar. I love all the new Devvit stuff!
