Hello, please understand it was submitted for review. Deviant art checks everything thoroughly and it did not effect anything as they felt that it was within bounds. It is good that things are checked because there are a lot of art thieves unfortunately. I spend time reporting other websites who take people's work without their permission and sell it on merchandise. This happens a lot. I'm glad your page is legitimate and sorry it caused you worry. Reports are not public when deviant art reviews them and when everything checks out ok, nothing happens with the account. I've been here 15 years, I do understand the importance of building reputation. Resubmission of other people's work when it's not collaboration is not usually a common practice. People usually use feature journals, the favorites galleries, and clubs because it keeps traffic going to the original artist's work. That does effect their life because it otherwise takes away views from something they worked so hard for. Exceptions of course are collaborations, dedications, and manipulations that are credited to the artist for inspiration. Your particular instance was unusual so I apologize for deviantart checking that it was ok.
