DA has its 7th birthday.

I had birthday too, and I got a present by another deviant.

This was the wonderful artwork "Under The Jaguar Moon",
it was made especially for me,
that`s why I am a member of the jaguarclan.
The artist didn`t want load it up at theirs own gallery,
I should do it in mine.
"Under The Jaguar Moon" was required by the DA-staff some days ago,
I was told in a note it were a "violation of copyright".

A very "nice" person "reported" the artwork to the DA-staff.

(In the deviations description everybody could read that it was a birthday-present from dear to me. Or what do you think, how could the reporting fool know that this was not made by me? He could only know, cause I wrote it and gave credit to the artist.)

And in the same note I was told if I'd do it again my "account may be suspended for a period of time or banned".

I am the owner of this work, I cannot violate my own copyright, or what do you think about that?

When I came to DA, I loved this place.
Here I can share ideas with artists, here I can look for artworks for my fantasy- and game-world.
Here I find artist relations.

Yes, I love this place.
That had changed for a moment, cause I thought DA deleted my birthday-present.
OK, I can get the file back from the staff, they saved it.
Yes, I had no file at my computer, cause I thought DA were a safer place for artworks than my old PC.
Yes, the artist had it not longer at theirs PC, cause artists always need the space for new art.

But the kind comments in the comment section of the required deviation are away forever. The congratulations to my birthday are disappeared.
What would DA and the community say, if I could delete all the congratulations to DA's 7th birthday now?
OK, I cannot, and I want not.
Because I am here for enjoying art and not for destroying art.

DA is for art and enjoying art, right? Right.

If DA deletes the art of the copyright-owner (in this case the copyright-owner was me) from theirs own and paid account,
this is NOT enjoying for sure. Only the spammer is enjoying, for disappointing another deviant.

I am sure, the person who "reported" the required work never paid for a subscription. Not for theirs own, not for another sub.

I would like if I could love DA as well as before.
For that it would be useful, further not to believe to such anonymus persons who use the "report" like SPAM.
I know, other deviants have the same problem with "disappearing" works in theirs gallerys.

I have a wish to DA`s birthday: bann such spammers, not working deviants, please.
Because it can be EVERY artpiece reported by this or another anonymous fool tomorrow.
A good method for true "reporting" were to make it NOT anonymus.
The DA-staff should know who reports. If it is anonymous, every art-thief can start a revenge here at DA.

For the next 7 years to come
with fine art and not SPAM!
(Haha, I would say: rhymes, but it rhymes only in german pronunciation.)

Thank you very much!

Happy Birthday, deviantART!
