"Download to View" Issue. (UPDATE)

Wed Jun 9, 2004, 4:03 PM




Don't Forget! I'm gonna be a guest at Portcon Maine June 18 -20. I'd love to see some peeps!


Mood: Intimidating Don't piss me off.
Listening to: "Peace and Love Inc" -Information Society
Reading: Paradise Lost

Well I need to take some time now to discuss a serious DeviantART issue. I have recently discovered a disturbing number of people who seem to think they can put Yaoi up on DeviantART. And in the most underhanded way at that.

I keep coming across images with tiny previews and discriptions that read "^__^^ Ooooo~! This is dirty hardcore yaoi! *lol* I'm so naughty! Download to view!".

No.

This is not right.

If you had to make it "Downloadable" it probably didn't belong on DeviantART to begin with. You're still hosting porn on DeviantART. Porn is still against DeviantART policy. You had to know it was wrong if you're bothering to hide it.

So for now on, if I catch you sneaking particularly harcore yaoi*, yuri*, hentai, ecchi, yiff, whatever onto DeviantART via a preview and a download, I WILL ban you. I don't care who you are, how long you've been here or even if its my favorite yaoi pairing. I'll be one stonecold mofo if I have to be.

So I suggest if any of you reading this have such things in your gallery that you do the right thing and delete them NOW. And find some site like VCL (only non-furry) that WILL host these things, because we don't allow them here. We never have. We never will.

Pass on this Journal to anyone you think may need to read it.


*P.S. For those of you who can't get your terms straight: Yaoi and Shonen Ai aren't the same thing. Yuri and Shoujo Ai aren't the same thing. When it comes to images, one means porn, the other means just a romantic boy-boy or girl-girl image.

Personal Update

Wooo someone reminded me... yeah! I've been on DeviantART one whole year!

:cake: :party: :dance: :boogie: :strip:

I was gonna do something but... uhhh.. I guess I forgot. ^^; So lets all just dance. I'm just adding this to the end here because I want to keep this information about this current problem up.

And thanks to all my new watchers and people leaving mesages on my site down there. I know I don't respond to messages like I used to, but I've been exhausted lately and we have that whole 2 message limit now.

GASP Where the "Advertisement Corner"!? Well I decided to move it to the new "Shout Board" now available in the blog features for Subscribers within me Journal. ^^; I'm tweeking it, but sorry.. heh.. the load time will still be there.

Please, if you do see it :salute: be a good Deviant and report it. The PV team gets a nice little Report Desk now and they're generally taken care of within 24 hours.

hey, vcl is just not porn...
o well, this should be funny to see someone start bitching back at you for this.
:iconkarmazmatic:
You have all the right to ban them if people are pulling shit like that...

And of course, being very sneaky about is, in my own opinion is a major offense and would make one a prime subject to being banned... Regardless of how long they've been here on DA.

Hopefully, we won't see anymore of this... But hell, I don't know the future.

But stick it to those damn violators... They deserve to be banned for pulling something like that.

that's such a stupid thing to have to make you download it to view if it's yaoi or yuri or whatever :| if it shouldn't be on XD it shouldn't be on :salute: I'll be on the lookout Sai

From the day I was born until the day I die, the only side I'm on is my own.
:iconmangapunksai:
Of course when its deleted people get into their "DA is homophobic" bitchings. :lol: Though.. I guess they can't pull THAT card if they know I'M the one on the prowl.

C&C Sunday Archive


"C & C Sunday" was a weekly News Feature that I started while doubling as Gallery Director of Cartoons & Comics and Anime. This feature displayed four thumbnails each from an assortment of artists who submit largely to the Cartoons & Comics gallery in order to expose the variety of work that comes out of this wonderful DA community.

Budding Manga Artists Archive


"Budding Manga Artists" was a weekly News Feature that I did while I was Gallery Director of Anime. The aim of this Feature was to give exposure to underexposed manga artists in the deviantART community, as well as exposure to manga artists who's skills may still be developing, but their potential shines through.
