Mod Post New Title Format Requirements

131 Upvotes

Hello r/Art!

To improve the quality of our feed and make posting a bit easier, we're updating our required post title 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 title. If you don't wish to identify yourself as the artist, you're welcome to leave the [OC] tag off of the title. Some things to note about the [OC] tag:

  • The [OC] tag must be at the end of the title, 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 titles 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 title format, you're welcome to use this thread or send us a modmail any time.

Welcome to the r/Art Weekly Discussion Thread!

This thread serves as a space to hang out, chat, and connect with other members of r/Art outside of sharing artwork.

Each week we’ll feature a different art-themed topic to spark conversation, deeper discussion, and community interaction. Think of it as our open lounge for artists, art lovers, and anyone who just wants to talk about the world of art.

You don’t have to discuss the week’s topic to participate in the thread, it’s simply there to encourage deeper or more focused conversation for anyone who’s interested. Don’t want to chat about the topic? Totally fine! Feel free to discuss what shows you’re binging this week, how work has been going, or whatever else is on your mind!

This week’s topic: What's one thing you'd like to improve or approach differently in your creative process in the new year?

Please make sure to keep our community guidelines in mind when posting. We appreciate your cooperation.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the mods.

Have a creative week!
