Christians Attacking Artists and Age Limits.

~sphirux:iconsphirux: reports, January 6
Christians and kids. Normally I ignore them cause if I don't they either annoy me or shove their faith on me. Only a few here I can stand.
This is pushing bounds of retaliation.
Recently a highly liked and popular anime artist on here was flammed by GOOD Christians on her paintings and her front PAGE saying that she might as well keep sinning cause she's a sinner and damned to hell. What the flying hell. Others were THREATS to her as well!

Look. I'm highly tolerant due to having friends of several ethnicities and preferences of sex and religion. But this is really freaking ridiculous. You Christians who like your faith and advocate it in journals and signatures...be wary of this. Because it's happening to all sorts of artists now--GANG attacks by GOOD ol' Christian kids. I suggest you say where you stand on this with me, because I am not watching any user who does this or ADVOCATES this kind of activity. You want converts or people to respect your religion? Stop these idiots. It'd be nice if it also quit help making LAWS. :censored:

I mean, hell. That's like me creating accounts to go to straight people, white people, asian people, African American people, Indian people, Catholics, Christians, gays, or what the hell ever you are and flaming you til you ban me and get buddies to attack back. It's absolutely stupid and uncalled for.

Nonetheless, this does need stopped. If you see it, say something. I know I'd rather go to "hell" if THEY are the ones going to "heaven."
Over zealots are ruining my views about any Christians I come into contact with even on my watchers list. I'd like to say that I want to respect people of this belief, but your group just keeps screwing me over. How is it okay for this to happen without reprimands from insulted Christians worrying over their own reputations? After all, the religion itself seems to change everything to suit its best interest regardless.


Also, I've seen an 11 yr old and a few 12 yr olds faving my work. :wtf: Thanks, but I really don't think you should be here yet. One, you're still developing art...but really you're WAY too young and highly vulnerable to all sorts of shit. Even the GOVERNMENT is investigating that stupid Myspace.
Kids will NEVER learn, apparently.

This said, I believe there needs to be an age limit on users who enter devART, not just for artists to deal with them and their unknown sense of art, but for their safety. I know there's not much sexual predatoring on devART but kids treat this like a Myspace and are endangering themselves by doing so regardless. It's the internet. There's danger in all kinds of places.

This definitely had to be posted for people to know. deviantART tries to cover things up and its about time someone makes a few things known. Especially 11 and 12-year-olds on here. With the amount of nudity and pornographic like material on here. Its just no place for exposure.
You did a good job wording this and making it known, love. Most definite impact.

Little trick, I like to call it "do the right thing and notify Help Desk".

FAQ #696: How does deviantART comply with COPPA?

Every user under 13 will be banned, the end, and every person spamming about their religious views will be disciplined as per the etiquette policy, the end again.

FAQ #687: What is news and what is not news?


If I fav and run, it's because I like it and don't have any constructive critique, get over it.
~sphirux:iconsphirux: Jan 6, 2008, 2:37:16 AM
Kind of sad that when I've done that they don't give a crap.
~sphirux:iconsphirux: Jan 6, 2008, 2:38:30 AM
Actually any time I've reported harrassment or anything by doing the right thing, they reply like I'm worthless.

Any other suggestions that have no underlying insult?
=IBinsanity:iconIBinsanity: Jan 6, 2008, 2:40:50 AM
Err, not speaking out against the CEA team via public channels might be a good start.

:hmm: i find that hard to believe, if there's any evidence to prove that they are in violation of the policies. especially on the 13+ rule, i've yet to see a case not dealt with promptly.

~sphirux:iconsphirux: Jan 6, 2008, 2:43:09 AM
Honestly I'm confused.
I reported this because I felt it was wrong for users to attack artists in this manner that I saw.
Am I evil for trying to help warn people or am I worthelss cause you don't seem to care?

By the way, I just had something huge in the past hour happen in my family. I'd appreciate some respect.
~sphirux:iconsphirux: Jan 6, 2008, 2:45:25 AM
Find what hard to believe? That an artist I watch was harrassed by kids who were damning her to hell?

I reported stuff concerning a user who hurt a dear friend of mine with death threats and my friend was told off for saying something about it.

But, I see your opinion and respect it.

I can't delete this anyway, but I was so angry I had to type something.
=IBinsanity:iconIBinsanity: Jan 6, 2008, 2:54:28 AM
It's not that I don't care. In fact, had you left out the age bit, this would be a +fav from me. But, when you add something that will make your article seem poorly researched and like a rant, it becomes non-news. If it's a major issue, CEA will step in - assuming they've actually got grounds to step in. And CEA can and will ban any user found to be under the age of 13, even if only by a day, in order to clear dA from any criminal culpability under COPPA.

I have no way of knowing your personal situation, and I don't give or deny respect when I comment. I state facts. That is all.
