Can the DA AN mods do what they're supposed to and cleanup the AN category? I've reported probably a hundred or more blatant miscats ranging from people drawing stick figures in Microsoft Paint, to guys with raging hard-ons, to women spreading their vag wide open, to people not even being nude at all. The overwhelming majority of them are STILL in the AN section, and the porn violations are STILL on the site. You guys need to do what your role is supposed to do, otherwise AN will stay nothing more than a dumping ground for people's porn collection, or people who just want to put their stuff in the category in an effort to get views even when they know their stuff has no business being in it.

When you allow people to just crap all over the category you belittle the people who actually DO post artistic nude photos. The people who pose and photograph ANs deserve to have their category be free from people who don't belong there, and it does nothing more than make the category an area for exploitation. The people who belong in there should feel like their work is appreciated and special, and with the way it looks now it's far from it.

My reply:


I'm not part of the staff for years, please find the current volunteer gallery moderator to speak your mind and give your "critique": FAQ #18: Who selects Daily Deviations and how are they chosen?

When I was part of the staff, however, I got a lot of crap for deleting what I deemed porn and for scrapping what I deemed not artistic enough, finding very soon that was not the role of a gallery mod, so good luck with that and please keep in mind gallery mods are volunteers and do not have a final say on these matters. You want to get angry at someone contact the main staff, the ones who get paid for it. They have money symbols behind their usernames. For example: moonbeam13

Miscats are why I rarely browse dA these days. Front page is usually set to Popular All-Time for my sanity. I did have a look in the AN gallery, only a few miscats in there thank goodness. Not so good over in Fractal Art, although it's a LOT better than it was a few year ago. :phew:
