Comments or Cruelty?
*SeductiveByatch
reports, August 21
reports, August 21I know some may see this as an issue only for BBW models, but really think about it, how many of you have gotten comments that were not helpful in any way, just hurtful, rude and cruel.
I know we can not regulate manners but I think the difference between critiquing someones work and insulting them personally needs to be addressed

reports, August 16Ok, so the title is a little sensationalistic, but I was afraid "How to Make Your Collaborative Project Succeed" was a kind of boring title.

Nip Netstalking in the Bud
~sanjouin-dacapo
reports, 1d 2h ago
reports, 1d 2h agoNet stalking is one of the more unpleasant things one can experience when using a forum or art website such as deviantart. The boundaries of real life are often blurred or ignored, resulting in skirmishes, flame wars, or long episodes of stalking by someone the target doesn't know. Even though this stalker often cannot hurt you physically, knowing that you are being followed can be scary. Here are some tips on preventing or lowering the likelihood of being stalked, as well as avoiding becoming a stalker yourself.

Deviation vs. Scrap
=confused-equine
reports, November 23, 2006
reports, November 23, 2006I'll just state the obvious - deviantART is an art community.
So, why do so many deviants insist on submitting random pictures of two of their friends at a party with no respect to, well, anything?
Newsflash - this is not MySpace. This is not an online photo album. It's a gallery. If you want to submit random pictures of you and your friends, submit them as scraps. They are not art, and frankly, are an insult to what truly is art.
Before submitting a deviation, I suggest you question its purpose. Would you like to see this piece framed and showed in an art exhibit? If so, submit it as a deviation. We don't see sketches on notebook paper (unless it was done purposefully) framed in a gallery, do we? We don't see inartistic snapshots of ourselves and our friends, do we? No, these are the things that may be in a little frame on your desk, if they're even good enough for that - you know, pictures of your family, friends, etc. A photo album, even.
Now, I'm not claiming that every deviation should be an incredible example of art. However, I am saying that your art should exemplify your talent, the best of your work. Don't degrade yourself.

 reports, 23h 42m agoI can't believe so many artists dedicate their efforts and time to create authentic works of art for us to USE freely! In the world of 3D stocks [ most of it unknown to the photomanipulators ] you can find truly inspiring fantasy and surreal elements that could never be captured by a regular camera. And the best part is that most of them come in a transparent background, so we can simply click and drag onto our work. How fun, fast and easy is that? |

The pattern in the Chaos
Gonna have to go ahead and not agree with you.
Here's the unwritten rule:
Good art is creative, bad art is destructive.
and...
this seems kind of destructive.
If you don't think it's art, then don't look at it. It will only making yours look better by comparison anyway.

My news article was not art. In fact, it was basically arguing that very point.

Only the artist can judge what is art to him and what is not. Sometimes, his art is not appreciated by the others, but still, he likes what he does, and it is art from the simple fact that (s)he created it believing it was art.
There can be art even in a webcam shot for an ID picture (even though I never saw anything that I could call art myself through a myspace-like picture...)
However, I'll have to agree with your point, sometimes it's annoying to have all these anime fanboys and myspace whores around, but just leave them alone and ignore their art rather than attack them.
The world is large enough for everyone.
Keep what you have, and don't destroy other people's belonging just because you don't like them.
The problem is, what do you say or do? So many times I want to scream "take it to flickr or myspace!", but that would be rude. I'd love some templates for this sort of thing, like on Wikipedia. Firing off a {{notart}} would be so much simpler...
I agree with you in the point that people really should not use it as a photoalbum. There are other services for that like flickr or picasa webs.
But you can't just say:"This is not art!". Only if the people insist it themself

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
Benjamin Franklin
The fact of the matter is, the people who do whats being described here aren't submitting pictures of their highschool buddies because they feel its a fantastic piece of art. They're doing it because they can and they have no regard for the purpose of DA or quality of their gallery as a whole.
If someone submits things like this because they genuinely think its artistic (even if we don't agree), more power to them. Thats not the case with most of them, though. They do it because they can, and thats it. The argument that "you can't judge what is art" just doesn't hold up when even the artist doesn't even mean for it to be art.
