Day 4 of DA ban
Working on commissions and my portfolio lately.
Even if I am banned from Deviantart, I still have to work and pay the bills.
So I am still waiting for the reason for my ban, but I did notice yesterday that they assigned the appeal to $kozispoon (she's the Copyright & Etiquette Admin).
She has become the go-to mod lately for any communications I have had with the help desk ever since I complained and showed that $realitysquared was being unbiased on an of my appeal rulings which they seemed to.
She was also the admin who told me 2 months ago after the July 4th deletions (when I found out it was the mod themselves who were monitoring and deleting my deviations and not external complaints) that I should stop testing them and behave.
So I did listen since we both got our points across.
So why is this relevant?
I toed the line and behaved since that day, adhering to the guidelines when I posted images on DA. I respected her wishes and even apologized for past behavior because we had finally come to understanding of each other.
Everything that was posted was kosher - and this was during my Hat-a-day challenge.
So when I got banned for posting a "prohibited" image and afterwards got the notices about a deletion from my gallery of a "prohibited" image. I could only assume THAT was the image that got me banned.
Funny thing.
That image I posted was from an image appeal I asked for in June and during/after the appeal the moderator had no issues with this image when I used it as my evidence of inconsistent DA policy enforcement.
So I left it in my scrapbook.
Do you want to see it?
Are you sure?
It was what made SOMEONE on DA staff hit the perma-ban button.
Ok.... you were warned...
It can still be accessed via this page but you can't link or see the image link directly here or here
Scary stuff people!
Scary, scary stuff...

Day 3 of DA ban
Hey everyone!
As a matter of fact I miss the entire DA community - the fellow artists, not the politics and bureaucracy.
I miss sharing things, helping out new artists and being inspired by great works.
What other site would have all this in a single package?
It is kind of like a huge mall like Mall of America with all the shops and stuff to see. Maybe you are there to check on someone, or see something cool and on the way you see something you didn’t expect to or make a new friend. Everyone definitely hangs out in the food court to recharge their batteries and just chill.
Right now, I feel like I am stuck outside the mall and looking in through one of the large plate glass windows in front. Like the guy who wants to go shopping but the mall just closed it doors and won’t let people in.
Blogspot and Tumblr is great for sharing stuff with everyone, but it can feel a little one-sided with regards to feedback and conversation. Personally I have the guilty pleasure of listening in on others conversations when an interesting topic is discussed - which happens a lot on DA.
I still do have the ability to read the comments on DA and I did note that someone asked if I had a gallery for mainly my non-mature works.
Deviantart *was* my gallery for non-mature works.
With their mature filters to shield people from mature art (which I believe was the reason for it in the first place) and the ability to create sub-galleries, I was able to make a site that was friendly for a general audience - like how my Featured gallery had no mature content in it at all.
(It’s funny how art that was not mature in the first place got deleted from my gallery for being “inappropriate” and “mature” content... but I digress...)
I originally created the blogspot callmepo.blogspot.com as a place to house any art deleted from or not suitable for DA, but it got co-opted as my fall-back site. It was the original “art deleted from Deviantart” site.
Same goes for callmepo.tumblr.com which I announced earlier as my future location for mature commission work.
Funny how plans can change.

Day 3 of the DA ban (nice how it coincides with the actual date) and first of all I would like to thank all the support posts and journals I am seeing on DA (yes, even when banned I can still do searches for my nick to see what has been posted to date). Many thanks to Limeykat for being my liason during the ban appeal process.
It feels great to hear the words of encouragement from supporters and fans (and a few barbs from stick-in-the-muds) - trust me, I really do appreciate it when you can't participate in conversations.

Funny how plans can change.
callmepo.tumblr.com and callmepo.blogspot.com are now my main sites during the ban appeal and I am re-directing my mature art to another site I had in the works called pinupsushi.tumblr.com!
So yeah, I can still see and answer questions from you guys from DA thanks to Limeykat and my alternate sites. But just give Limeykat a little extra love for the help she has been giving me for the last few days ok?

View from the other side...
In case people were curious, this is the screen that greeted me BEFORE I got the note or the email about the deleted deviation.
This is the view from the other side of a banned site on DA. All you guys see is that I was banned.
“You have been banned from deviantART permanently with a reason of Re-submission of content previously deleted by staff.”
Still no note or email on the reason for the ban so this is the only likely indication for the reason for the DA ban.
I really wish they actually gave me more details.. or at least a warning or 2 week temporary ban as a warning shot.
Shego's "ME" time...
Heck!
I can't keep this image hidden away from you people!
I will just to draw more! ^_^
