DA problems.

[Lionel]

So guys, to Deviantarters more. Can you help me?

I got a comment on one f my drawings. I was hoping just to see someone say nice or something like that, but instead there was a link to a page, about witch I won't be speaking. I reported it as spam, but is there anything else I can do so that person would get punished for putting such links?

[Kirsui]

Ouch, sorry to hear about that. Those appear at deviantArt at times.

deviantArt's FAQ says the following about reporting people:

How do I report people for abuse, harassment, or another issue I think is a problem?

Comments which are extremely aggressive, insulting or otherwise extremely abusive should be reported to the deviantART Customer Service Center as an Abuse Report.

When reporting deviants please be certain to be clear in your explanation and to include the link(s) to the comment(s) which you wish an administrator to review. In order to link directly to a comment you will need to right click on the timestamp, located next to the username in the comment box and click Copy Link Location (or Copy Shortcut - depending on your browser). Paste (right click and select Paste) these URLs into your customer service ticket.

Be certain to also identify the profile which you are reporting by name.

Other than that there's not really much you can do. Also note that sometimes dA staff answers really slowly to reports, but it's better to do one rather than not do anything about it.

Seems that the persons account is inactive today. does this mean, that staff have seen my report?

[Kirsui]

Either that, or other people reported the user too and the staff (or what ever it is that keeps track of reports) took notice and either temporarily or conclusively banned the user account.

EDIT: Speaking of reporting, I just did a ton this morning at uni while randomly browsing dA. Some of it were stolen images, most though was something very inappropriate that I would have liked to never ever see. <_<

[Lionel]

Will the bad comment e gone, or will it stay there as the only comment on my picture.
( It makes me feel wierd having a comment like that...)

[Kirsui]

Unfortunately enough, I think it'll stay there, though it should be hidden if reported as spam (or alternatively, you can hide it yourself). It's a bit annoying, I have to admit, that you can't remove comments from the stuff you upload to deviantArt. :/


EDIT: This is also explained *here*.

[Zorayda]

This is part of the reason why I'm glad I'm not popular on DA

[Lionel]

WEll, I'm not popular, but some randrom person comes and messes my page up like that.

[Lokisenna]

Double check for viruses that troll has been attaching evil things to those unmentionable pictures. My friends have been getting him/her/it on their art.

Just be careful D:

[mane6]

Im not a populr artist and i do not get bothered, its just sad people do things like this to hard working people.

[Kirsui]

Nah, you don't always need to be popular for this type of things to happen. It's rather random really. Just keep reporting, and things will be taken care of. :3

[Lionel]

This may be off topic, but I just wanted to say - If anyone has time to check out and comment, there are some new drawings in my DA page. Just click the link in my siggy.
EDIT: I wanted to add 2 new ones today, but i didn't get a chance. But you can still check out the other ones.
