First I want to welcome you all to AnthroArtistsUnite your one-stop group for anything and everything anthro/furry, related!!

Now for the not so fun stuff, the whole "what's allowed" "what isn't" type deal - So IF your submission has been declined, its possibly the list below is why so please make sure you take time to review over the rules and even the list below so you have a heads up before submitting! Plus it helps me a ton. Haha.

1. Did not follow the group theme:

The theme of this group is anthropomorphic art, crafts, fursuits, etc.

3. Submission was submitted to the incorrect folder:

This is pretty self-explanatory, and a reason is usually given when you do submit to the incorrect folder.


4.Did not meet groups standards:

While we are a submission strict group, we encourage everyone to submit their art, and if your art does happen to get decline please don't feel discouraged it just means that particular submission may not have passed the quality control. Nothing to be ashamed of, just keep on trying!


Hope that this helps you all to understand a little better as to why your submission may have been declined. If you are still unsure why your submission has been declined you are more welcome to comment on the declined submission itself or send the group a note! When sending a note to the group please make sure to include a link to the declined submission to make it easier!  I do ask when sending a note asking why your submission has been declined that you remain calm, cool, and most importantly respectful. Lastly, all comments left on the front page and/or this journal will be hidden since it is just basic journal regarding the rules and a slightly more in-depth reasoning to clear up some things hopefully! Thank you!

_{On another note, I want to give a shout out to Kreftropod for the awesome group icon! Go give them a watch now. ^^}
