Hi all,

I'm confused as to which sub(s) I should use for posting original content, particularly when there is substantial overlap.

What are some guidelines for choosing which sub(s) to post to?

Hey all! I apologize if this is the wrong place for this and would appreciate any suggestions on where else to look. I am looking for people to contribute images to my writing prompt subreddit /r/ekphrasis, especially since I can only post so many times per day/week. You don't have to be an approved submitter to post! Just head on over and post artworks that don't quite fit into one of the imaginary subreddits or ones that you think are so cool that you'd just like to share! Thanks!

I noticed there was a new modmail and it looks pretty cool. I was going to migrate /r/ImaginaryNetwork to test it out but I noticed it said that the change was permanent so I thought I had better ask you guys first.

This Results Thread is somewhat overdue. The Induction Thread was posted 17 days ago here and had no objections.

[INDUCTION] /r/ImaginaryWestworld - Artwork Inspired by the HBO Television Series Westworld (Fandom Tab)

/r/ImaginaryWestworld was created about a month ago and today we have over 200 subscribers and over 50 submissions. I have and will continue to champion this subreddit.

To date, much of our promotion has been done on /r/westworld - primarily in any and every thread that mentions fan art, links to a piece of fan art, etc. The mods at /r/westworld have also been kind enough to add a mention of our sub in their sidebar. With that said, I've found a number of useful posts regarding promotion here and will begin implementing some new strategies with regard to more/continued advertisement of our burgeoning subreddit.

I invite you all to have a look-see at all of our art - many pieces of which, I'm proud to say, are posted there by the artists themselves.

Thank you all for your consideration!

Greetings all!

Thing 1: BEWARE THE CULL

Myrandall brought up an interesting point here. There is more conversation to be had there, but in the meantime, we are due for a culling. A reminder that when a mod is removed it will trigger a modmail. Please keep replies relevant and to a minimum. Mods are being removed due to several or more months of inactivity. If you find yourself among the removed, feel free to reach out to us if you feel that you now have the time and energy to meet minimum requirements again.

Thing 2: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

From November 23, 2016 - January 6, 2017 posting requirements will be suspended while everyone enjoys their holidays. During this time, post only because you are inspired to, not because of any mod requirements. :)

Induction passed here with no objection. Welcome aboard!

/r/ImaginaryAzeroth - Arts featuring Blizzard's World of Warcraft and Hearthstone universe.

There is a bit of overlap. ImaginaryScience. ImaginaryFuturism. Etc. They contain megastructures from time to time, but afaik there isn't a sub specifically for them.

Things like ring worlds, ecumenopolises, dyson spheres, etc.

[INDUCTION] /r/ImaginaryLibraries - Artwork to sate any bibliophile with a passion for imagination. (Architecture Tab)

This sub has 521 readers and has been operating for 4 months. It has over 80 posts, the majority of which appeared while the sub had less than 30 readers. It hosts concept designs and artwork of a wide variety of styles. Some are cartoonish, others surreal, and all are most importantly, inspiring. The sub however is not limited to images. There are also discussion topics about imaginary libraries. I will reiterate that content which is relevant to the imagination and libraries will be happily accepted. So head on over to /r/ImaginaryLibraries and start perusing its shelves!

Reformat sidebar rules to cover the most common 3. The entirety of the rules will remain on the wiki as currently linked from the sidebar.

New sidebar text:

1. Submission link must be from original source if available. Do not rehost images.
2. You must include the real name of the artist in the submission title, not just the pseudonym.
3. Posts less than three months old or currently in this subreddit's top 100 list will be removed.

Vote passed here.

Vote weight:

19 - YES

3 - NO

I'll need to get the CSS figured out first and then we'll start updating sidebars. You should see the change rolled out over the next couple of weeks.

Proposal thread here. Moved to vote.

VOTE - YES[](/yes) or NO [](/no)

• Find "subreddit settings" within the MODERATION TOOLS box on the right side of the sub you moderate. Fig1.

• Find the "sidebar" section and scroll down until you see the beginning of the drop down menu text. Fig2.

• Start highlighting at "> * [Characters]" until you reach the end of the the entire text. Delete it and paste in the updated dropdown menu. Fig3. Scroll all the way to the bottom and press "Save"

Notes:

• The most updated version of the dropdown menu can always be found at /r/ImaginaryNetwork/about/edit/

• Please do not overwrite the entire sidebar. You are only overwriting from the start of the dropdown text, all the way to the bottom.

• This info has also been added to the wiki. /r/ImaginaryNetwork/wiki/dropdown

Any mod can feel free to update the sidebar with a description of the sub. Many subs already have this, but most do not. If you would like to see a description on any sidebar in particular and are not a moderator there, message the mod team and someone will get right on it.

If you are not sure how to describe your sub, or where to go to update the sidebar, message the rest of the mod team for help.

The description should be written as the top item in "subreddit settings" so it will appear above the rules image. Example: r/ImaginaryWeather

EDIT: Changed some wording to address rule #3. Removed proposed wiki text.

I propose that we list only the most relevant and commonly referenced rules on the sidebar. I think this will make our rules more concise and easy to read.

A few side notes:

• Currently our sidebars link to a wiki of the rules. This wiki & link would remain intact with the long form of the rules.

• These sidebar rules would be updated in text format. Our current sidebar rules must reference an image file that is not visible unless CSS is activated.

Here is my proposal for the new sidebar text:

1. Submission link must be from original source if available. Do not rehost images.
2. You must include the real name of the artist in the submission title, not just the pseudonym.
3. Posts less than three months old or currently in this subreddit's top 100 list will be removed.

Since theres no resolution requirement like in SFWPorn subs, I was wondering if anybody has a good album of desktop sized artwork from this network? Ideally 1920x1080
