What exactly is an "Abuse or Exploit of the System"?
An abuse or exploit of the System is any action which takes advantage of a feature which we offer here on deviantART in a manner which is inappropriate or otherwise not as originally intended.
Some examples are; creating large numbers of accounts in order to award yourself (or anyone) large numbers of Favorites or badges, use of a script or automated system to artificially boost your profile pageviews, use of a script or automated system to comment, favorite or devWATCH for you, offering a link which causes a deviantART account to preform an involuntary action (such as adding a Favorite), or any other similar activity.
