  1. Submissions must be related to Space/Cosmology
    Priority: 0

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

  2. No sensationalist/misleading/unscientific content or titles
    Priority: 1

    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. No spam/blogspam/paywalled/pirated content
    Priority: 2

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

  4. No petitions/surveys/crowdfunding
    Priority: 3

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

  5. No social media links
    Priority: 4

    No social media links such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Exception: Twitter links are allowed for breaking news by official sources.

    Priority: 5

  8. No low-effort or meme images are permitted at any time.
    Priority: 7

  9. If an image is not OC you must give credit to the original photographer.
    Priority: 8

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

    Priority: 9

  11. No unscientific or anti-scientific comments
