Deviants

What is Community Operations?



DeviantART's Community Operations Department is dedicated to providing a high standard of community development, encouraging innovative and creative opportunities within the community.

Areas which we are responsible for include:
:bulletblue: Providing community support and assistance via the Help Desk.

:bulletblue: Providing customer service for prints and merchandise customers.

:bulletblue: Developing and enforcing policies, including copyright issues, inappropriate content and other violations.

:bulletblue: Providing opportunities for interactive events and encouraging collective action within our community via the chat network and forums.

Our department drives an environment where deviants can come together and be empowered within, and by, the community. We believe that community development is not a department -- it's an approach which helps people to recognise and develop their ability to reach their potential. By providing this organised, motivated, accountable and effective department, we are leading the way for deviants to continue participating in a way which they feel listened to, valued and inspired.

I think my group join requests are messed up. My friend joined it, and she saw that she was able to join Co-Founders. How do I make it so only joining members is available?

Immature people complain about "art theft" but honestly, I think the people who complain about "thieves" do much more bullying than the thieves do. Copyright is just a form of control that squashes freedom and creativity. and the self proclaimed copyight police who enforce it are just immature bratty bullies who want power and want to feel big. da, we need to protect the sensitive feelings of those who trace, edit, use stuff without permission but in a harmless way, etc, because unlike the copyright bullies, they are NOT bad people!
