/// OFFICIAL MODERATION NOTICE ///
Following discussion and feedback in this thread, here is a place for you to post political cartoons (and only political cartoons may be posted as images in this here) and only in this thread. We all know what a political cartoon is, and what it isn't, and I'm not here for arguments about your borderline images that aren't political cartoons. Do not post images that have been edited by someone not the artist. Moderator's discretion applies for images that do not fit the thread.
Here are the rules for this thread:
You are limited in how many cartoons you can post per day.
The previous version of this thread started off strong, but eventually came to be dominated by a single poster posting a torrent of cartoons. The Soap Box does not exist for that kind of posting -- we have a higher standard. Each individual person can post up to four political cartoons per day. We can revisit this limit later and revise it up or down as needed.
The cartoons must have a visible artist's signature.
Attribution to the original artist is required in the form of the artist's signature. It would be nice if you included a link to the artist's website or primary method of publication. If you actually find a rare artist that does not sign their cartoons, PM me and we'll work something out.
Cartoons must be uploaded to the thread using the thread reply option. Do not hot link images.
No hot linking, of any kind. You can click the little picture icon and attach the image, you can drag and drop the image into the reply window, you can copy and paste the image. If you find a cartoon and the artist restricts distribution of their work, you must respect it and not post the cartoon here. Artists have the right to decide how their art is reproduced; if they wish to disallow it, then we're just going to respect that. There will be zero tolerance given for breaking this rule, and I will make liberal and extended use of the thread ejection mechanism if necessary.
Discussion of the cartoons is fine in thread.
The issue that we were trying to avoid in the previous thread never really developed, anyway. Please feel free to discuss the cartoons.
All the other rules still apply.
You are still required to adhere to the Posting Guidelines and the Soap Box Rules of Engagement.
