Recently I have felt the need to report various images on dA for policy violations. Some for just being obviously wrong, some for copyright violations, some just for mis-catergorisation.
I reported this image the day it was submitted:
in the description she admits she is only 13 in this image! I have been told by TWO separate helpers in the #Help channel that this is a violation and yet still hasn't been removed!
This image I reported for mis-catergorisation yesterday and has been recatergorised:
As advised by a helper in the #Help channel I noted that the entire gallery needed looking at as most submissions were in the wrong catergory (all in self-portraits) but still for example these are in the wrong place:

- in self-portraits

- in self-portraits
This final one I reported a couple of days ago, that submission was removed by the deviant and has resubmitted it. It is a copyright infringement that dA are already aware of and even mention in gallery info for monuments:
Now, I know the staff of dA have a life outside of dA, but surely, if one policy violation can be sorted this quickly, and one that is unimportant compared to nudity and copyright violations, then surely these should be sorted by now?
Devious Comments
All the staff; paid or not, work incredibly hard and yes some stuff does slip through the net or can't be dealt with immediately, but you really need to give them a break. Complaining like this only demoralises the people that are working to make DA better, and believe me it doesn't help them. You would be much more productive if you continued to report violations which supports and helps the gd's and admins keep the galleries free of the wrong/inappropriate material.

Please, only watch me for my art, not coz I watch you.
b) Reporting violations like the last one is just a waste of time, plus this violation doesn't really harm anyone, except according to some it weird copyright issue that has to do with the tower's lighting. Honestly, I can't find why it has to be your business or why it bothers you so, or anyone who isn't dA staff (who are obliged to check for every possible copyright violation).
If you want to help people you could find art thieves or serious violations instead and do some good to the whole community.
Otherwise, by complaining and reporting people for having a couple of picture into the wrong category or just because they didn't see the regulation about Eiffel tower, well, I can't see where you want to get.

The mis-catergorisation doesnt really bother me that much, but if you look at who the artist is who had mis-catergorised you will see that it iss the SAME artist that has breached the nudity policies! In my eye this makes the fact that dA staff have recatergorised one of her photos, and not the others and not taken action against the nudity violation all the worse.

Copyright infringements and nudity etc are handled by the admin, I believe there are about 4 or 5 on the policy enforcement team at best guess FOR THE WHOLE OF DA.
Thats 17 initial gallery categories split into on average another 10 sub categories which are in turn split into between 2 and 8 sub-sub categories... and how many active members potentially reporting policy violations to this small team of people? 4 or 5 million? Do you see where I'm heading with this?
