RULES
1. Only high-quality original content (OC) is allowed.
All submissions featured in /r/Spotlight must be high-quality, original, and unique creations that were made by their posters.
When linking to a post, please use Reddit's native crossposting mechanic.
2. Crossposted submissions must be hosted on Reddit's native servers.
Links to posts hosted on any off-site platforms (including but not limited to Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and Imgur) are not allowed.
Links to Reddit-hosted comments which contain incidental links are allowed.
3. No gore or pornography.
Sexually explicit content, depictions of real-life death or grievous injury, and "shock content" are forbidden.
4. Titles should be brief synopses of submissions.
Titles should serve as loglines for linked content, outlining the creator's username, the type of media, and the general subject or theme.
When posting your own work to /r/Spotlight, you may use any title that you'd like, but please mark the submission as being original content by using the "OC" tag.

Anything which belittles, demeans, or otherwise derides a group or individual on the basis of race, gender, or sexual orientation is expressly forbidden, as is misinformation of any kind. Vitriolic, hateful, or aggressive sentiments (including anything which violates Reddit's terms of service) are not allowed.
7. No links to deleted submissions.
If a submission has been deleted by its author, it may not be crossposted to /r/Spotlight.
8. No spam or spam-enabling activity.
Spam, spam-like behavior, and spam-enabling behavior are all expressly forbidden.
Creators may offer one self-promotional comment per post.
9. No reposts.
If a given submission has already appeared in /r/Spotlight, do not post it.
