Why did I receive some sort of administrative action when someone else did not?

Some submissions are removed simply because they were seen before others, and some deviants will receive a warning or punishment because they were caught misbehaving while others were not.

Due to the high amount of submissions and interaction all problems, concerns, violations and other situations all violations of policy will be addressed in the order in which they come to the attention of the deviantART staff, whether this occurs via personal browsing efforts or anonymous reports made through official channels.
