r/space rules

1. 1.

   Submissions must be related to Space/Cosmology

   This includes "circlejerky" submissions or space-related art, with the exception of art from space agencies or historically-significant art.

2. 2.

   No sensationalist/misleading/unscientific content or titles

   Post titles need to be descriptive and non-clickbait. When submitting images titles need to accurately describe the content of the image (e.g. if an image is a composite this needs to be clearly stated), and without attempting to draw in upvotes or comments. The image should stand on it's own.

3. 3.

   No spam/blogspam/paywalled/pirated content

   This also means that news articles should be a top-level source.

4. 4.

   No petitions/surveys/crowdfunding

   News articles about space-related crowdfunding campaigns are allowed, but direct links to crowdfunding campaigns, petitions or surveys are not allowed.

5. 5.

   No social media links

   No social media links such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Exception: Twitter links are allowed for breaking news by official sources. This does not include YouTube videos, which are allowed as long as they follow the other rules.

6. 6.

   No duplicate or re-hosted content

7. 7.

   Images are only allowed on Sunday UTC

   Images, gifs, and gif-like videos (those under 2 minutes and which don't rely on sound) are permitted only on Sundays UTC. Please no DALL·E mini or other AI generated images.

8. 8.

   No low-effort or meme images are permitted at any time.

9. 9.

   If an image is not OC you must give credit to the original photographer.

   This applies even if the source is a space agency such as NASA or ESA.

10. 10.

    No low-effort/meme/joke/troll/insult comments

11. 11.

    No unscientific or anti-scientific comments
