How do I report a submission which I think breaks the rules?

Beneath every Deviation or Scrapbook submission you will find the Artist's description area. At the top right of this boxed area you will find the Report Deviation link preceded by a small symbol to help it stand out.

Upon clicking the Report Deviation link you will be offered a standard form where you will be able to make selections and enter information or explanations. We have tried to word each selection to be as clear as possible.

Your report will be kept completely anonymous. Only a small number of staff with the proper set of privileges will have access to the report and the person that you report will not receive your name or any information with which to identify you.

All reports will enter the Moderation System where they will be reviewed as soon as possible by a member of the deviantART administration. Since the volume and complexity of reports has a direct impact on how quickly any one report can be handled we cannot give an estimate to how long your report may wait before it is reviewed.
Once a report has been reviewed and the case has been closed by staff you will receive a notification outlining exactly what sort of action occurred.
