Been thinking about this after someone posted a video to this community for the first time

Post only images. No gifs, videos or articles.

This is one of the rules stickied to the top of the community. But it’s only there because at the time of creating traditional_art I looked to r/art for guideline inspiration and took it from there without further thought.

It only makes sense to have rules that are voted on by the rest of the community. So what do you guys think? Should users be able to post videos? (and gifs and articles to that extent about art instead of merely being restricted to images?)

    I think video art and art commentary is great, but lumping it all in here would make this place less interesting to me. I’m also not sure anyone looking for video art would think to look here for it. Maybe having periodic threads to post commentary or non-image art could be a good compromise?

    I acknowledge that’s somewhat arbitrary, but I don’t think we can ever eliminate that entirely where art is concerned.
