Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Limit of two posts per person per day.
Bots aren't allowed.
Banned users will have their posts removed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Unlike Reddit, it's possible to edit the link a post links to after the fact, so it's possible to swap in an uncropped link later instead of just removing the post.

I'd be in favor of that. Not an instant ban rule but more of a "No link provided, please use TinEye or something to find the original and update your post"

This is the key. If someone shares something that may have the attribution missing or is too jpg, the post link can be edited to the better version.

If users are posting too many comics that are missing attribution without following through to update post links to versions with them, then they'll get the book thrown at them and won't be allowed to post anymore.
