More and more non-art accounts...

=GiZmO0o:iconGiZmO0o: reports, June 3, 2007
whats going on today? i got this link some minutes ago ([link]) and just thought; what the f*** is going on?
when i tryed to talk to people in the "official" dA chatroom about what art is i got kicked multiple times...
when i looked up the user profiles of people in this room i found: nothing. a clear account, no art, not even favs, nothing. whats this about?
dA is an Art comunity and is here to share art, information, ideas, creativity...to show skills, get and give critics...

the number of non-art accounts is growing day by day and deviantArt becomes more and more deviantSpace.
i dont know if it's helpfully to tell those people, that dA isnt meant to be a myspace-like comunity, but it might be worth a try.

i think many artists on dA know the situation i described above.
dA is not just about faves, it's about constructive critics, helping people to improve.

cheers GiZ

yea! I know what you mean! I get so many people that just show up and chat and they are nothing but chatters who make this seem like I've gone to visit a teeie bopper fan club! Bold statement I agree!

Whats so wrong with people chatting though DA? I know a few people who do, they're not harming anyone.
Just because this is an art community it doesn't mean they can't make friends and chat with them here.

If they were actually doing critiques that's one thing but I believe the majority of the accounts I've come across are younger--10 to 15 years of age. Now, I've met several very talented 15 year olds (~gothicgoose being one of them) whom actually use DA for it's original purpose and that's fantastic, more power to them, but the problem is this isn't myspace; this is for people who wish to show their work, get reviewed on it so they can continue to improve their skills. And this should be done in the most likely of places the #Devart chat--the official chat room for the site! It should be concerned about it's reputation as an art site not whether or not the next episode of "Naruto" will be another cliff hanger. A more sense of professionalism in the way of the arts is what would be more appreciated here.

#devart is more a general chatroom. For art discussion, #Thumbsshare or others chatrooms ([link] has listings) is a better place (in fact, posting thumbs of your work in #devart is banned.)

As it's a general chat, they thought they'd have fun this month and have "weddings" in it. While they were setting up for it, everyone was kicked. Although I have to admit that must have been unsettling for people who didn't know what was going on :hmm:

I don't know what users you were talking about, but they could be new users, or they could just be art appreciators. You don't need to post art to be here, but some users like to have an account to look and comment on people's art.

I have this account and one other which I'm going to use as an account my Family can go to, so they do wonder what I'm into when they see all the "parental advisory" symbols :D. And you have a very good point, I have some friends on here that use Da as a place to up their photos from trips and the photos aren't very good at all.

Really, if they're under 13 they shouldn't have accounts on dA and if they're discovered they'll be banned until they hit 13.

The trouble is, like you said yourself, a large amount of the members on this site are of a younger age, even though I thought the law in the US meant anyone under the age of 13 cannot join DA? But DA cannot choose who it wants as its members, it can't judge someone for not posting art but for using the site just for the chat rooms. Can you imagine if DA decided to delete all accounts that didn't contain art, favourites or if the user hadn't commented anywhere etc. It'd be like the whole Jark thing all over again where by everyone would leave admins would step down and so on. All I'm saying is, theres not much that can be done about it.
