Information kiosk.

We, as a group, are not liable for what others say in the comments. We do not support harassment, false accusations, or other similar matters.

The rules of our group are very simple. Follow them and everything will be fine.

1. We are NOT the deviantART operators' only deviants looking to protect the community.

2. The primary purpose of this Group is to encourage silent, anonymous reporting; nevertheless, we also aid in reporting when necessary.

3. We do not tolerate harassing any deviant for any reason; sometimes they genuinely don't know what they have done wrong. We do oversee telling them politely of the mistakes they have made and reporting them correctly!

4. Please DO NOT try getting this Group involved in personal fights with users. If we see your judgment dedicated to that, we will label it as spam!

5. Please respect the reporting system and do not abuse it. Do not go addressing everything that offends you and saying it is worth reporting.

6. You can review the terms of service and the etiquette policy to see what is permissible and not permissible on this site.

7. We cannot report plagiarized art; we can't. If you think so, you must then tell the original artist, not us.

8. We no longer support or endorse screenshots. DeviantART prohibits them, so it's not our fault. Unless it's a tutorial or something stupid, then we will allow it.

9. If you want to join, then you must not have anything that violates the terms of service in your gallery. We also recommend that your conduct remain appropriate while you are a member of this group.

10. The “Report Deviation” button is your greatest weapon against TOS violators; use it wisely.

11. Due to the removal of third-party copyright infringement features, we will no longer be accepting the addresses of copyright infringement altogether. Sorry, blame ProtectArt for this, not us. I like how you make a whole journal about art theft but never do anything to cease it. Users have to report thieves manually, rather than the website doing it themselves.

12. Do not send reports related to minors or ban circumvents if you cannot file the report yourself, then contact the group by note, and an administrator will help you. We will hide any report that requires contacting the help desk.

13. We will hide reports related to harassment, as third-party harassment reports are no longer valid by the deviantART Administrators. Blame Daniel (realitysquared) for this, not us. However, you can still send us harassment reports, and we will do all we can to push administrators to take care of the problem. But we won't guarantee you anything.

14. Don't ask to be a founder, co-founder, or contributor; we will hide and ignore your query.

15. From now on, when you want to report a user to the group, don't send us any reports that contain codes such as:

“Dev”

“Icon”

“@”

“Thumbs xxx"; otherwise, this “directly” identifies them, and they begin filing against us for harassment. We are suggesting you don't bring us any drama here. If you have an issue, note the group and one of the administrators will assist you.

16. We are not your army; we will not tolerate people mobbing or bombarding anyone, including members and administrators of dA-Is-Not-Porn.

17. You can use these applications to send reports related to pedophilia, child exploitation, cyberbullying, missing persons, misuse, harmful content, and Internet hacking.

18. To report censorship and an attempt to stifle your freedom of speech and expression, visit these websites.

19. If you want to report a potential suicide threat, please visit the following website: www.suicidepreventionlifeline.com.

20. Copyright Policy! Learn it and live by it.

You'd better understand this before sending anything to the group, even a comment.

21. You can watch these Groups by catching official DeviantART feature upgrades, news, and stuff:

hq DevNews communityrelations communityops BetaTesters dt

22. BE ALWAYS POLITE! Do not harass T.O.S. violators! Only make polite comments and report them in their images by clicking the “Report Deviation” button. How do I report a violation?

23. DO NOT FLOOD THE GROUP! Only send new reports related to pornographic artists, deviants, and other TOS violators. We will flag hateful comments toward the group or its members as spam!

24. NO FLAMING OR ARGUING WITH OTHER MEMBERS! Do not start an argument with someone on the front page. If you feel that another member is out of line, note the group by sending the URL address of malicious comments, and the group administrators will look into it. Members found that starting an argument on the front page would end up being obstructed without warning!

25. NOTE THE GROUP IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM! This goes for everyone, members or not. 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. Refrain from sending complaints about the way we run the group on the front page. You'll attract the bad type of attention, as well as encourage others to harass you because of that.

For any misunderstandings.

26. The official Copyright website can keep you up-to-date with anything you need to know.

27. * A petition asking for art theft policy reform

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

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

28. This is a Tumblr page devoted to stopping theft! We were asked by another deviant in the community to have it here.

29. Artist Confessions can be used to disclose big popular art thieves anonymously, so their fans won't swarm your page with hateful messages, it also serves as a place for artists to reflect on themselves and one another.

Thank you again for supporting a wonderful and worthy cause. Let's take care of this problem!

Affiliation with cryptocurrency is a big mistake.

Oct 14, 2021

You have heard that they will affiliate the website with cryptocurrency. One of the most notorious technologies is one that many countries have blacklisted. Here is what they wrote in their latest article: COMING SOON: Offer Fans Crypto Payment Options We’ll be integrating BitPay’s cryptocurrency payment processing as a new payment option on the platform. BitPay’s blockchain payment rails integrate and provide deviants with the opportunity for new sales by attracting buyers who prefer paying with Bitcoin, Dogecoin, or other cryptocurrencies. Yes, you heard it; this is not a joke! Here is an article on what cryptocurrency is and how dangerous it is. What is cryptocurrency? A cryptocurrency is a digital asset that serves as a medium of exchange and uses cryptography to control transactions, ensure their security, generate new units of currency, and verify currency transfers.

A continuation of my popular blog from 2020. Missing features: Favorites. Affiliations. Forums and announcements. Widget to display blog authors. Widgets to display gallery contributors. Monthly statistics. Weekly statistics. The radar for displaying visitors of our group. The watch button. Now you must join the group to watch it? The countdown widget. The Twitter widget. The list of gallery folders on the group's home page. Example: Administrator area: No visitor widget. No custom box. No recent notes. No affiliates. No button to create a new post. No log tab to see the recent activities of the group. No management members? No information kiosk. No widgets to use in the administrator's area, like on the home page. No recent annonucements. No recent journal entries. Ruined features. 1. The inability to add multiple deviations in bulk with a single click. In the old user interface, you could select up to ten deviations to feature them in the group's folder. There was also an option

DeviantART Inc. has really spiralled this time.

Mar 19, 2024

Oh, God. I remember the time when I used to post journal entries without complaining much about anything except art robbers, bullies, and trolls. Those were the good old days when navigating this platform was a breeze but then came Eclipse, and it’s been a mess ever since. Their constant updates have made finding anything impossible. The entire website is a hot mess! Before, I checked for comments and replies quickly. Now, I must navigate cluttered sections with red numbers. It’s frustrating, to say the least, and it feels like Eclipse was a mistake. A HUGE MISTAKE! :grump: :thumbsdown: I’ve been on DeviantArt for over ten years, and I’ve seen many stupid changes in my life, but the recent updates have made the platform a toxic shithole that no longer cares about artists. DeviantArt allows AI “art” that generates theft and lets people sell their AI creations without holding AI users accountable for tagging failures. It’s all about profit, not creating a wholesome community. I

I will not rail about how material on the website is being scraped for AI Composites or about how DevArt’s “protection” against it is a new checkbox that you will have to tick for every image you’ve uploaded. No. You should expect people to misuse your work and DevArt to be incompetent. Fortunately, after the backlash they got from us, they implemented a system that does that by itself. I expected they would misuse your work and that DevArt would not be up to par. Once something is put online, it’s out there for anyone to access. That’s the nature of the beast. If you don’t like it, don’t upload content. Simple as that! However, I am furious about the deluge of AI composites flooding my feed here. I see more of that crap than genuine new content now. Devart has an AI tool, and they guarantee it won’t consume user content, but let’s not discuss it further. I came here to discuss this: https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/954598039/5054059571 Once you grant a diamond badge to a

I chose the perfect time to be as active as I can now that this place is on the brink of bankruptcy and dying! Bravo to me. I remain persistent and resilient, yet it is a sorry sight to behold the deterioration of this place. Many people I used to talk to are no longer here. A substantial amount of them have migrated to other platforms or ceased using the Internet for a long time, which is justifiable. It is sad to see in what direction this place is going. The big artists I used to follow are no longer active. They are only here to upload their stuff, log off, and that's it. I recalled when it was a bustling community of garrulous people. Since the eclipse, everything has died overnight. The administration divided the community thanks to these inane updates. Half of the group are proponents of this disreputable UI, while the other half are opponents. I'm not flabbergasted to see this because I got used to it. I understand that many of the people I used to converse with daily

This user accused me of so-called art robbery, even though I mentioned to her that I was quoting what talented illustrators had stated. Since the discussion I had with her went nowhere, I blocked her, but that didn't stop her from writing this call-out and getting her followers to report me en masse. She is 35 years old and behaves like a spoiled brat who doesn't understand when to give up and mind her own business. Journal in question. ART THIEF WARNING!

NEWS PROVIDED BY Joseph Saveri Law Firm LLP Jan 14, 2023, 15:51 ET Related articles: SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14, 2023, /PRNewswire/ — Stability AI Ltd.; Stability AI, Inc.; Midjourney Inc.; and DeviantArt, Inc. have created products that infringe the rights of artists and other creative individuals under the guise of alleged "artificial intelligence." The Joseph Saveri Law Firm, LLP—a leading class action firm with offices in California and New York—along with Matthew Butterick and Lockridge, Grindal, and Nauen P.L.L.P. have filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of a class of plaintiffs seeking compensation for damages caused by Stability AI, DeviantArt, and Midjourney and an injunction to prevent future harms.

DeviantArt fucks up massively by embracing AI-art.

Nov 14, 2022

The website knows it is wrong, but they went right ahead and did it, anyway! :dummy: DeviantArt is a website that has survived multiple generations of the internet because it does one thing and does it well: it lets artists upload and share their work. That’s it! :shrug: So it’s both funny and more than a little tragic to see the website try something new last week, only for it to be the worst thing imaginable, implemented in the dumbest way possible. The idea of artificial intelligence-generated art is cool in theory, but it has been used to steal art and deprive working artists of work, which is what it should do. While popular with the people who will talk to you unsolicited about how now is the best time to buy crypto, the practice horrifies actual artists. So artists, the actual users, and the entire point of the website were upset last week when DeviantArt published a blog post. It led with “Introducing Dream Up, an image-generation tool powered by your prompts that allows

DeviantART's stance in AI-generated artwork.

Nov 12, 2022

Yep, they support it. They have a Dream up program. It’s free, so don’t forget to opt out of your art being used in the program. If you do not want to opt out now, they will charge you. There is a plan to get into the cash grab. Disputable, irritating, disappointed, and not surprised. We had an insignificant victory, thanks to our appeals. They will opt our art out of this AI-sharing option by default, but it still means they will allow users to flood the art feed with more annoying AI art. Other journals from popular artists. I'm out! Follow me anywhere else. SIX YEARS LATER. Guess this is the final nail in the coffin. Leaving DeviantART... This website has crossed too many lines, and implementing this now does not fix the day third parties and their own trash AI have had to steal from users. DeviantART Inc has speed run how to destroy what little community it had left. Destroy what little hope those still here had that they all may one day be better. This website has lost so

Massive lawsuit filed against Pornhub.

Jul 16, 2021

I got this in my mailbox. In the most significant hit against Pornhub and its parent company MindGeek to date, an explosive RICO, racketeering, trafficking, and child pornography lawsuit was filed on behalf of 34 victims, 14 of whom were children when they were sexually assaulted and abused for Pornhub's profit. The 176-page lawsuit complaint lays out in disturbing detail not only that Pornhub was engaged in the intentional monetization and distribution of “child pornography”/CSAM, rape, criminal abuse, and sex trafficking, but was also operating as a “classic criminal enterprise.” In the lawsuit, whistleblowers from inside the company reveal a mafia-like culture where top executives are involved with crimes such as money laundering, tax evasion, and racketeering. However, the most important part of the complaint centres around the harrowing stories of Pornhub's victims. Courageous survivor Serena Flietes led the lawsuit. She was the young woman who went public in the December New

Been hearing bout this for the past few weeks now. Decided I'd repost since she keeps coming back. And I know she is watching me... And I ain't happy with her... I've had crap with her in the past. And now I'm hearing from =Lilyunad (https://www.deviantart.com/lilyunad) how she is harassing her... So I decided to repost Lily's journal. The person the journal is about once commented on a status after a month since I had posted it that it was racist (It wasn't) and then made her own status about me... A MONTH after I had posted it... It wasn't even directed to her at all... Damn.... I haven't spoken to her since then I don't think. No clue why she is watching me now.

Group Info

We are NOT the deviantART operators' just deviants looking to protect the community. If you thought silence was peaceful, you have yet to meet us. Currently, deviantART is filled with lewd and obscene nude photographs, pedophiles, perverts, trolls and more. Our goal is to help the moderators fix this by reporting deviations and users and help cut down such images and members on deviantART to make deviantART a much friendlier place. We also like to feature our loud opinions and thoughts about this community as well.

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