How does this sound? I have had a few occassions where I have seen a deviation that's REALLY cool and deserves to be favourited; BUT in my favourites list I only want a specific style of artwork to be seen. Afterall, to favourite a piece of artwork is a very personal thing, it means that the arwork you have favourited has a deeper meaning to you, the individual, it means LOTS to you,.. that's why it's a Favourite. So, what I was thinking was,..... What if there was a way you could slap a nice 'Recommended', or 'Approved' etc,.. label on the piece you really like instead so it doesn't get listed in your favourites, but a 'rating' of the piece gets shown on the page of the artwork itself. The way it would work would be relatively simple,.. you see a piece of work you really like,.. you don't want it to be seen in your favourites list really, but you really DO like it, so you slap a simple 'Recommended', or 'Approved', label on it,.. the more people who do that, the more :devart:'s, (1 actual icon but with a number next to it), show up on the artworks' page, based on average number of 'recommendations', or, 'approvals'.
Whadduya think? :)

That could be nice actually. Either that or to have the option to organise your favourites gallery like your main personal one so effectively it's a favourite, but not immediately visible. (I borrowed this idea from another deviant btw, I don't claim it as my own just incase they see this lol)

Some levels of faves would be useful indeed: some people use them as visual bookmarks, others routinely fave everything a deviant they love can do (I even saw a request to automatically fave all the deviations of a gallery! :(), others like me, and apparently you, only fave deviations they find exceptional, for a reason or another.
Now, the problem is that, like any tool, such feature would be misused, by ignorance, by laziness or carelessness, etc.

82% of statistics in signatures are made up. :rip: (This is a recursive signature...)
Spreading them is un-original and sheepish. If you agree, copy this in your... wait, no! :D
No to signature clichés! You are on an art site, be creative!

A level of fav's is a good idea maybe categorys of favs too.
