When I went to report three deviations (so far, but now I'm thinking, "Why Bother ?"), there was a "Case Closed" message with the following :
Status: Invalid Comment: A reviewing member of staff has determined that this deviation does not meet the definition for pornography which is currently in place. No action needed.
Clearly says "Male subjects may not be depicted with an erection."
So... during the course of my life, I've seen some erections - in person. Now, I feel mislead. What I THOUGHT was an "erection", I guess... isn't. I guess this complaint is about how I've been lied to all my life. I guess all the guys I've know to get an erection were just lying about the state of their penis because they couldn't achieve the real dea (whatever it is).
Also, if THIS [link] : is not "vaginal spreading" enough to be removed, I guess I shouldn't even bother reporting this : [link] ?
I don't really care about the content. I report because I want to help dA keep its rules in place. I wouldn't really give a shit if erect penises were allowed. I feel kind of annoyed that since I've started reporting, it seems like rules get ignored in some cases - seriously, when is an erection not an erection (dada construction site ?) ?
I wish the rules would either be applied to everyone or just done away with.
And I'm posting this here because I don't really expect anything to change.
This reminds me, I was reading a "Send in Your Questions" section of a teen sex info web-site, and ... IF IT CURVES TO THE LEFT, IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT AND HOW CAN I FIX IT ?!
Personally, I think all cropped crotch shots should be banned. 99% of the time they're just boring and a waste of space and the 1% of people who can do something interesting with them likely have places besides dA to show their art.
First off, everyone here at deviantART would like to say THANK YOU!!! We have received an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm for the launch of version 6 and believe that this has been our best-received launch to date.

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More

FAQ #565: You prohibit the submission of 'pornographic material'; what do you consider this to be?
