News Flash! deviantART Still Pissing Off Artists

Journal Entry: Thu Aug 30, 2007, 5:48 AM
.
<a href="[link]" title="Attila's Digg Submissions>
Digg!

deviantART deletes artists work citing, vaguely, "Unaddressed Requirement"

Seriously, deviantART, Inc. get a clue, a raging clue. To think deviantART has been running for 7 years and STILL is not operating on par with its users expectations.

UPDATE: Just a few hours after posting this journal, a core staff member from deviantART, Inc. addresses the issue on the artists journal.

UPDATE 2: And a day later, $realitysquared posts a news item outlining the new policy procedure for dealing with works that require permission. My suggestions have been implemented, about time. This all hearkens back to ideas and suggestions that myself and others have expressed for a long time, that if implemented in a timely manner, would have saved a lot of unnecessary turmoil.


I'll update this with any other instances I find of deviantART, Inc. operating contrary to the expectations of its members. I mean, even in the first case cited, deviantART had nothing to gain by deleting this artists work, they just did it because they could. That, to me, is unacceptable. If you have your own deviantART horror stories, pass them along.

At least they listened and fixed the problem in a fairly timely fashion. Anywhere else you would have to wait half a year before they even get back to you. :(

Yea, but like I was saying, this is year 7.. in the grand scheme of things. This issue has been brought up before, the handling of policy violations - et al. :)

I think that most of the staff are doing their job well enough, but to the one's who aren't then they need to be checked. In regards to this issue, I think that it was fault on both part of the user and the system. He shouldn't blame dA for something that was probably a reaction to what he did, when he was on staff. But the situation is probably more than what was described at face value. I just think that things need to be looked over thoroughly before casting judgment. No doubt, I know this happened in the past, but it's a big community what can we expect. :shrug: But that's just my opinion. :p

Given the size of the community plus the number of dicks there are on the internet, I'd say the relevant staff here do a good job of keeping a lid on it all.

Yea but this really doesn't have anything to do with 'dicks on the internet' but rather, with productive artists in an art community in relation to the Administrative arm of said community that doesn't or can't relate to them on that level.
