Da--Revolution

1. Welcome to the official @Da--Revolution club, where you can share your thoughts and experiences with the administration and members of the DeviantArt community. You are also more than welcome to present your art and creativity here! This group is concerned with reformatting the site, showcasing our illustrators' genuine talent, and reporting major issues on this platform. Before you ask us anything, we recommend that you read our code of conduct. Please send us a note if you have any questions.

NOTE: We do not allow AI-generated artwork. Don't post this here. We have zero tolerance for artworks crafted by programs that steal art from others to generate new digital illustrations.

Please send your reports via notes.

Do not post your reports in the comments section!

2. NOTE: Members must have accounts that are at least six months old on the platform before they can join our group. It is nothing special, but there have been several attempts to allow people with empty accounts to join our group. Even if your account is new, you can join the group if your gallery features genuine artwork (NOT AI-GENERATED ART!).

Allowed!

3. Folders related to stamps, including those about copyright violations, deviantART idiocy, anti-pedophilia, anti-pornography, and anti-Rule 34.

4. Folders for digital illustrations, traditional art, ACEO cards, tribal tattoos, movies, animations, and other content. You can submit whatever you like as long as it’s not stolen; we won’t stop you.

5. Folders for tracking and reporting on critical issues such as pornography, pedophilia, cybersex, and other significant problems. Please post journal entries on this topic in the related folders to facilitate easy reporting. Submit the relevant literature, complaints, and other written materials to separate folders.

NOT ALLOWED!

6. BLOCK ABUSERS! If you have a reason to block someone from harassing, trolling, or doing something cruel to you or your friends, go for it. If you're blocking merely for fun or because someone significantly saved your artwork, then you're not welcome here. Get out!

7. Politicians, the rabid fandom community, and politics.

Yes, they can sometimes—usually always—be stupid, but we don’t want to see you submit your written pieces or illustrations related to this matter. While we may love delving into these subjects, they’re not compatible with our mission at @DaRevolution. Please refrain from starting a discussion or injecting anything into these categories.

Go to @WeDontThinkSo, @Express-Your-Hatred, @DAPoliticalForumClub, @ControversyInc, @Anti-Illuminati-01, @AntiAllThings, and @Explicit-opinions for stuff like politicians, rabid fan communities, or both. If you want to express your opinions on politics and the fandom community, there are many groups out there. We are not one of them. Special thanks to @LoboTaker for mentioning the last two groups dedicated to this theme.

8. Stuff that creates more drama than help.

We won’t tolerate that; you have a profile where you can express your hysteria as much as you wish. Nobody will stop you from doing that. Please keep your useless drama away from our group. Thank you. Also, strive to be as repellent as possible, and your life will improve. That is all we ask of you.

9. Trolls. You'd think this is obvious, but it isn't. Once it's revealed that someone is an Internet troll, stop communicating with them, stop mentioning them, and stop contacting them. Do you want to return to DeviantART kindergarten to learn more? If you spot a troll, report it and move on! Yes, you can send reports about the trolls you have discovered.

NOTE: Co-leaders (co-founders) have the same responsibilities as the founder; they only help moderate the entire group.

Co-Founder

Co-founders have the same roles as founders, but they also have additional responsibilities that they can fulfill. Your co-founders are those who hide unnecessary comments, such as spam, trolling, and complaints. They are also the ones who moderate what goes into the gallery and respond to some of your messages.

10. Please keep in mind that administrators may not always reply to your comments or notes because we are all busy with other life commitments. Please be patient; someone will arrive shortly to address your message.

11. We are not operators of DeviantART; we are simply deviants seeking to protect the community. If you thought the silence was peaceful, you have yet to meet us. DeviantART is currently filled with obscene images from pedophiles, perverts, trolls, and more. Our goal is to assist the moderators in rectifying this issue by reporting deviations and users and by helping to reduce the number of such images and members on DeviantART to create a much friendlier environment.

12. The group’s mission is to help administrators modernize the community by forwarding all complaints and issues that we encounter. We will also do our best to help the victims of DeviantART's corruption raise their voices and share their experiences with the corrupt development team. We also like to feature our loud opinions and thoughts about this community as well.

The only thing they see is darkness, but what they don't know is that the darkness can see them too.

13. The primary purpose of this group is to encourage silent, anonymous reporting; nevertheless, we also assist in reporting when required.

14. We no longer support or endorse screenshots. DeviantART prohibits them; therefore, it is not our fault. Unless it’s a tutorial or something helpful, we will allow it. No stealing. If anyone is stealing work, please inform us.

15. Please show respect to our members and the administration in this group. No harassment of the group or other members is permitted; we do not allow trolling. I’m not in the mood to deal with individuals who get themselves banned. I will not reinvite you; it makes us look foolish. We will remove all of your work from our gallery.

16. We will not tolerate publishing content that creates more drama than it resolves.

17. We cannot report plagiarized art; we simply cannot. If you believe it is necessary, please inform the original artist, not us.

18. If the gallery requires another folder, please specify the group, and we will gladly add it.

19. NO PORNOGRAPHY. There is a difference between art and pornography. LEARN THAT!

20. We do not tolerate harassing ANY deviants for ANY reason; sometimes they genuinely don’t realize what they have done wrong. Our oversight will include politely reporting their mistakes.

21. Please do not attempt to involve the group in personal disputes with users. If we see your judgment directed at that, we will flag it as spam.

22. Please respect the reporting system and do not abuse it. Don’t report everything that offends you and claim that it is worth reporting.

23. Review the “How to Report a Violation” tutorial.

24. DON'T FLOOD THE GROUP! Only new reports about pornographic artists or deviants are to be submitted. We mark hateful comments about a group or its members as spam.

25. NO FLAMING OR ARGUING WITH OTHER MEMBERS! Do not start an argument with someone on the homepage. If you feel that another member is out of line, notify the group by sending the URL of the malicious comment, and the group administrators will investigate the issue. Members found starting an argument on the front page will be blocked without warning.

26. If you have any problems, please notify the group. This applies to everyone, members and non-members alike. Do not, I repeat, do not post hate comments or slander against the group on the front page. Don’t even do it in your journals. Do not complain about how we run the group on the front page—it will draw attention and encourage harassment.

27. We will hide reports related to harassment because third-party harassment reports are no longer valid. Blame Daniel for this, not us.

28. The official copyright website can keep you up to date with anything you need to know.

29.  * A petition asking for art theft policy reform.

If this reaches two thousand signatures, we may well see a change in the way this website handles various cases of possible copyright infringement.

* The petition has been locked. It's no longer active.

30. This is a Tumblr page devoted to stopping theft! Another deviant asked @Silent-enforcers in the community to have it here.

31. Artist confessions can be used to disclose popular art thieves anonymously so that their fans will not swarm your page with hateful messages. They also serve as a space for artists to reflect on themselves and one another.
