Sooo what’s the punishment for falsing reporting someone EVEN IF THEY ARENT A MEMBER OF THE SITE
… help me out here. How could someone who is not on this site be reported? What would they even be reported FOR?
I mean, let’s assume someone reported someone on DeviantArt for something they did on DeviantArt - that is not as rare as it should be. I’m dealing with someone right now who is absolutely incensed that I won’t ban someone from DeviantArt. Because apparently mods here are mods of every other site on the planet in some people’s heads.
reported for good reasons about bad edits made of their art
If someone is making bad edits of an artist’s works, that sounds like a perfectly legitimate Rule #1 report. No one would be banned for that.
And now all of their art is suddenly gone after they were trying to report badly made edits of their work they did not want on the site
What do you mean “all of their art is suddenly gone”? This makes me suspect I still have no idea who you are talking about.
I need to know why and how this occured
Well, that’s a problem because you aren’t the person banned, and whomever was banned was banned for reasons that are purely their confidential and private business.
The only thing that I could find that was even CLOSE to what you’re saying is this temporary informational ban that began; “This is an informational ban, as we have no other way to contact you - you have done nothing wrong” and then told them how to get in contact with us so we could talk.
Is that what you are freaking out about?
