Description BEFORE READING, THIS IS A TL;DR THAT SHOULD GO INTO A JOURNAL



Self explanatory, Rule doesn't apply to admins because...well, they actually have their symbols for something.
Let's face it, having an '*' or an '=' doesn't make you different from an '~'...same with `seniors.

If you had read the FAQ #29: How do I become a Senior Member? you will know that it's simply a recognition given to a deviant due to their work in the community. Premium users and Beta testers are same as normal users, yes, they have a bit more privileges than the average user, but not necessary ones. They can use image linking and thumb code, while regular users can't...but they can use a [link] or plz accounts in case of stamps. Normal users have to browse with ads on(lolwut? ), they can't use the poll widget for asking questions because they don't have the journal one either, neither can't use journal skins Oh!! Eyecandy! or custom boxes because they can't put a bit more of description in another box...in fact, regular users can't receive proper critique because they can't have that function enabled even though a highly though comment would have the same effect and besides that they receive WAY LESS PAGEVIEWS !! (If you don't know what that is it's a little number upper on the right of your page that indicates how many persons have visited your page...I actually don't know what it is for but having more looks like fun and you can get a little badge if you choose an option that toggles them off...I honestly like that badge

...I though deviantART was a community about art, not exactly about all of those things, it doesn't matter how "popular" you are on a website or your statistics, the talent doesn't measure by numbers...everyone can draw~

What does that means anyways? it means that everyone with no exceptions can be a very talented artist if they dispose to, as =DoItForTheLulz said, "My art is crap...but I will get better!" . No one starts as a big artist the first time, if you progress quickly I am glad for you, deviantART also has the tutorials categories where other artists share their methods alike to help others.

Anyone can enjoy deviantART, it's just the way you look at it how you express. For instance I had some trouble back then because they were updating some Muro feature so we could draw on user pages...actually I would like if they worked on the 7 day delay security option first .

Yeah, screw me, why am I complaining about this but I am still here? it's because...I love deviantART.
dA is a wonderful website full of amazing people, and really, can someone give that up? -*SparkLum

...so...I should be honored to be part of this community, and in fact I AM HONORED.

...just in case someone want's to see that symbols actually mean a lot to me , you can download the script on this [link]

"This is a simple yet powerful script for deviantART.com which changes everyone's symbols from whatever they are to ~ (unsubscribed.) The point of this script is that I feel that seeing the symbol of someone affects our view on their art, and so changing them to one symbol allows us to remove that subconscious thought and appreciate their art, regardless of symbol!

- Words from Creator of the script, AKA *SparkLum

(...yes...I think I have an obsession with that dude......I think we have the same thoughts )



...and...TL;DR, dA can be good or bad as your point of view.

I treat *, ~, and = the same, but ' with a little more respect, because you know they're better more experienced than you. I don't see why 's aren't that important, they're like a daily devenation.

But it's a little bit up to personal prefection.

Senior members are, in fact, deviantART's most active and generous members willing to help the community indeed.

Excellent description by the way, though I am confused by all the strike-outs

and I thank you for making it

Heh...those strikes means sarcasm because I can think that either without premium membership one can have almost the same things

I do have to admit, the type of symbol in front of a user's name does instill a preconception in my mind of how good an artist that person is. Users with the premium-member symbols in front generally tend to be (though of course there are exceptions) serious enough about their art and this website to spend the money, or, if the membership is donated, that means they're popular enough to have people who'd be willing to foot the bill. In either case, I feel there is a general correlation between a person's symbol and the quality / popularity of their work, so if you're trying to say that there is no correlation, I respectfully disagree.

Kheltari In reply to mjponso [2011-01-03 10:10:07 +0000 UTC]

The general idea of this was to mention that no matter what, you are you, a deviant is a deviant, art is art and it shouldn't be changed because a symbol. As you said they are exceptions of persons with premium memberships and not being serious yes, but there are also deviants with no premium memberships being serious with their works. You might say that there is no correlation, I respect that idea, but in my opinion I would prefer investigate a little bit more before judging.

mjponso In reply to Kheltari [2011-01-04 07:59:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, I don't make judgments from just a person's symbol and only one example of their work. I will take a glance at the rest of their work.
