New Title Format Requirements
Hello r/Art!
To improve the quality of our feed and make posting a bit easier, we're updating our required post noscript format effective immediately. The new format is intended to be cleaner and more consistent, taking into account the numerous issues we've been seeing with the (me) tag. The format will remain mostly unchanged, but there are some key differences to note.
The basic required structure of Artwork Title, Artist Name, Medium/Media, Year will remain the same. Please be sure to mind the amount of commas, placement of the commas, spacing, and punctuation. Our most common issues continue to be users adding or removing spaces, adding punctuation that is not required, or adding/leaving out commas.
Most importantly, we are replacing the (me) tag with an OC tag for artists who wish to identify themselves as the creator of the work, and we're making this tag optional. If you're the artist and you want to be recognized as such, you may add OC to the end of your noscript. If you don't wish to identify yourself as the artist, you're welcome to leave the OC tag off of the noscript. Some things to note about the OC tag:
- The OC tag must be at the end of the noscript, nowhere else.
- Please be sure to include a space before the OC tag, and always include the brackets.
Examples of the new format:
- Starry Night, Vincent Van Gogh, Oil/Canvas, 1889
- Frosted Plains, Jimmy Smith, Acrylic, 2025 OC
- NYC Cityscape, u/Art-ModTeam, Digital, 2025
In addition to the above changes, based on community feedback, we've updated the format to allow for the use of parentheses (), ampersands &, exclamation points !, colons :, and apostrophes ' within your artwork noscripts to better support series and studies. Please note that these symbols can only be used in the Artwork Title slot.
As an unrelated friendly reminder, we also just wanted to remind users to review rule 6 on keeping your frames clean. We've seen quite a lot of posts being reported and removed for not keeping the frame clean. While we won't necessarily remove every post that has a slightly visible object in the frame, and we understand that some artwork can be tricky to capture without objects being visible in the background, we simply want to ensure that your art is the focus and that your post remains visible for the community.
Thank you for being a part of this great community! If you have any questions or concerns regarding the updated noscript format, you're welcome to use this thread or send us a modmail any time.
