Submission Form 'Title' Section: Small Update

Hey everyone,

Stopping by to inform everyone that a small line of text has been added to the title section of the submission form.

• “(If submitting for the theme do not use the exact theme name as a title to avoid identically named submissions)”

The reason for this addition is that we’ve received several submissions on a regular basis with exactly the same title. This makes it difficult to display them on any listing where the author’s name isn’t present.

We might in the future revert this as we figure out how to display archive data with author names present, but in the meantime, we’ll try to follow this guideline. We’ll be working on a fix for the issue so that all used are free to name the work however they please.
