46 Rules of DevianTART

1. DeviantArt is serious business
2. One day, I’ll be a great manga artist
3. The longer the journal entries, the better my art becomes
4. The more flashing friend icons, the better my art becomes
5. Tracing and recoloring is the same as using a reference
6. Blurry MySpace pictures of myself, taken without even using the timer mode are art
7. Photoshop filters are the same as photography skill
8. Lens flare makes EVERYTHING better!
9. Critics are only critical because they are jealous of my stick figures
10. All male game or anime characters are in love with each other
11. All characters split into two versions when entering DeviantArt: normal and furry, and the furry version is always better than the regular one – cat ears are obligatory
12. All characters have child-like alter-egos, which I prefer, but not because I’m a paedophile
13. People don’t know there’s a Full View function, so I must inform them of it, and demand that they use it every time I upload something, no matter how crappy, by commenting “FULL VIEW PLEASE!!!!!!”
14. The whole world is only waiting for one thing: seeing me naked
15. It’s art if I say it is!
16. 2,000 pageviews means I have to make a kawaiiiii picture thanking people for looking at my other kawaiiii pictures, preferably with as many hearts as possible
17. Being on DeviantArt means I am special
18. It’s not paedophilia when I draw it
19. Comments any less positive than “OMG awesome!” must be considered flames, and even the slightest bit of criticism is worth starting a fight and getting banned over
20. The DeviantArt comments system is a great chatbox, especially if it’s someone else’s page!
21. There is nothing wrong with inflation art
22. If I fave one of your pictures, you have to fave one of mine, no matter how terrible I am, otherwise you’re ungrateful
23. Everyone is interested in my private life, so I must spam my journal full of uninteresting junk (see #1)
24. If people troll my account due to a mention in ED, I must throw a tantrum, threaten to hex them, say they’ve fallen into my trap, bawl to the moderators and/or threaten legal action and claim lawyers are already on the case
25. I have more pageviews, therefore my art is better than yours
26. Making alternate accounts praising my main account is a brilliant tactic
27. Copy-pasting an “I like your art” comment on loads of Random Deviant pages without looking at the art is a brilliant tactic
28. Making a thread in the ThumbShare forum, dedicated only to me with the sole intention of throwing my own art into everyone's faces is a brilliant tactic
29. No matter how crappy my art is, and regardless of the fact that no one would hang it on their wall to save their lives, I must still make all my art available as Prints
30. The human body is beautiful and never pornographic, even if it’s being penetrated anally by a furry’s cock
31. My profile icon flashes or moves, that means I’m a better artist than you
32. Submitting Deviations without commenting anything more than, “me again”, “lol”, “...” or “meh” is artistic
33. Poetry isn’t artistic if it doesn’t have elementary-school rhymes and isn’t about razors or angst or slitting wrists
34. We’ve made porn of it. No exceptions.
35. There will be fav w/o comment drama. No exceptions.
36. Art memes are fun, and when they say I must tag three people, I must always tag EVERYBODY!!!11!
37. The cool kids set themselves to invisible
38. I must threaten everyone who might possibly steal my art with physical violence, even though I’m behind a computer
39. Snape is perfectly capable of getting pregnant
40. I AM Asian. Really. Can’t you see the painted cat eyes and the V-sign I make with my fingers?
41. My Desktop picture must contain a World of Warcraft-icon, and the wallpaper may under no circumstance have the correct aspect ratio
42. I paid money for my account, so everything I made has just become better than everything you’ll ever make
43. Even though I spend every minute I have on DeviantArt, I must still complain how much it sucks as often as possible.
44. I must always be proud of making the first comment, even when I have nothing more to write than, “First comment!”
45. I can always delete my account and make a new one
46. It was an accident retard

There are various ways in which you could get your ass banned from devianTART. They include:

* Making any kind of comment, positive or negative, on a Daily Deviation. (Usually a piece of porn that's featured for a day)
* Don't suck Japan's dick
* Being a bad reference to the site
* Putting crap in the wrong category.
* Trolling. (That's an easy one, especially now that tartlets don't have to BAWWWWW to the mods every time due to the recent addition of a "Report Spam" button)
* Promoting warez.
* Singling another deviant out in your journal No longer in effect, since an admin can't do his/her/it's fucking job. See moar here.
* Labeling another deviant as "bitch." (see: Bleedman)
* Jokingly referring to another deviant as a "godless devil-worshipper."
* Having ever visited any *chan board
* Pointing out the really very manly mustache that the admin chix0r has.
* Linking to ED articles with the aim of potential lulz.
* Asking people if they liek mudkip.[4]
* Not brown-nosing Snapesnogger.
* Opposing animal abuse (see poeticirony )
* Being a fan of EncyclopediaDramatica. The moderators will get even more butthurt if you mention it on DevianTART, particularly the profile of a moderator.
* Questioning anything on the site.

* Contacting someone who has blocked you (Place of contact has to be outside of their userpage, thus making the Block system utterly worthless).

It also appears that devianTART hates Koreans. See Cheon-Yeosol[5], who was planning to own the North Korean Lulz Coalition art club for military themed art[6], in which both accounts were banned within 40 minutes of creation, and not a single comment had been posted by either one.

Many potential lulz exist when doing any of the above. The users and administrators do not like criticism of any form, people who are opposed to anime porn, and people who are in touch with the outside world. They prefer the type of people who will throw away money for the site (this act has been named "subscription")
