• Before submitting, please take a minute to review our posting guidelines and our legal/privacy policy. By submitting, you agree to these terms.
• If you found the link on another link site or weblog etc, credit the source by putting its name in the Or: box on the submission page.
• Make the tagline funny.
• Make sure the submission is at least somewhat humorous.
• When making taglines for Photoshop or caption candidates, describe the picture.
• Try to make headlines have a noun and a verb. This isn't always possible.
• Don't link directly to videos. Link to pages where videos can be watched instead.
• Don't submit parody threads.
• Don't spam the queue repetitively.
• Don't capitalize every word like news headlines; write normally.
• Avoid the use of articles, just like news headlines. Instead of "A man discovers that he has two asses" write "Man discovers he has two asses."
• Articles from the following sites will automatically be rejected:
  • Sites that shut themselves down after getting a lot of traffic, like Geocities
  • Ananova (long story)
  • Any site requiring logins or registration to read articles
• Don't get discouraged if your link doesn't get picked -- we get thousands of link submissions a day, and less than 5% make it to the Fark main page. However, they all show up for TotalFark subscribers.
• Submitting to Fark will not affect your ranking in search engines, even if it is in the 5% of links that get picked, so spammers, don't waste your time (or ours).
