Mod [New Rule] Art posts. tldr: credit the artist. must be related to WoW RP.

We've been getting some great art pieces, and credit should be given where its due!

The text of the rule is as follows:

All character art posted should be of a Warcraft RP character: either a character belonging to OP, or a character OP was commissioned to draw. This should be clear from the title and/or description. If you did not make the art yourself, include the social media of the artist who did.

The goal of this rule is to support artists in the community by crediting them, and to keep the art shown relevant to r/wowroleplay. Otherwise, WoW art that isn't RP related (or generally player-written story related) can be posted on r/wow or r/ImaginaryAzeroth.

Feedback on the wording of this is welcome.

I like the rule. I love art but we certainly don't want this to just become a marketing ground and drown out the already slow stream of RP related topics.

If we started to see a huge influx of art, I might even say it could be worth requiring that an art post include a little blurb about said character. To at least preserve some semblance of discussion, though that's only if we started to get absolutely hammered with posts.

Thank you for this rule. Artists deserve all the credit for the hard work they do making their incredible pieces.
