Description Here's a random tutorial for people who don't know how to disable comments. Or if you HAVE disabled comments, but can't remember because you haven't been on DA for a while, this is also for you. I hope you found it useful ^w^ And now a typical infomercial script.

HEY PEOPLE ON DE INTERWEBZ/DEVIANTART!! Are you tired of haters commenting on your artwork? Do you wish they would stop, but they WON'T? Do you not want the hateful comments to get to you anymore? And do you WISH you can make them disappear, but you don't know how to make them disappear?? Well NOW you can! With this helpful tutorial, you won't have to deal with the haters anymore Remember, even though some of these are positive, some of them CAN be cruel.

Idk if somebody else did that, but I did one anyway

Edit 5/31/17: Woah, how did this get so popular? (ok, it's not that popular, it only has 13 faves but still!) It's so old, I'm surprised this helped a lot of people XD Thank you guys!

Edit 2, 12/16/17: Okay. You guys are insane. This year and a half old tutorial has 30 faves, omg X'D I'm really glad this helped you as best as it could. Thank you with all my heart!

Edit 3, 6/6/19: Seriously?? 50 faves on a 3 year old tutorial that I made XD Geez. That's actually really awesome! I really just made it out of boredom but I am legitimately glad this tutorial was able to help you out. Once again, thank you all!

Edit 4, 5/11/2024: Oh my god, 76 faves on this old deviation?! Part of me is wondering if I should just reboot this tutorial so it's much MUCH easier to read xD But seriously, I was 14 years old when I made this, annoyed that there wasn't already a tutorial made on how to disable comments. But I am genuinely, genuinely amazed this has helped so many people out! Even one of the dA staff members noticed it Thank you all for the support, and definitely let me know if I should make a 2nd version of this!

Well, thanks for the tutorial. I plan on doing this for the MMD form of someone that I will not bring his name up, but I won't mention the reason why.

if a deviation has disabled comments but they were open later on so people made comments yet they cant be seen now, how can i see them again?!?!

👍: 1 ⏩: 1

MythicalPotat In reply to DevanterReturns [2019-09-02 21:23:59 +0000 UTC]

Well it depends. Only the person who's made the deviation can disable the comments. But if people made comments and you're the only one who can't make them it's possible you may be blocked? I think it's an error thing but I have no idea what to say other than to refresh it or if that doesn't work I suggest try reporting it to the staff. Sorry you're experiencing this issue

Is there a way to hide the entire comment section on the front profile page? Someone anonymous person is harassing me and I don't know how to stop them from commenting on my page as they keep making new profiles.

MythicalPotat In reply to Amanda-Kulp [2019-02-25 05:52:16 +0000 UTC]

I'm sorry this is happening to you! But sadly I don't really know if you can hide the entire comment section on your own profile page. The only thing you can do is block said anonymous person and report them. I found something similar to this, it might or might not be useful: www.deviantartsupport.com/en/a… 
Hope it helps!

Amanda-Kulp In reply to MythicalPotat [2019-02-25 05:54:57 +0000 UTC]

I have reported and blocked but the anonymous person keeps making new profiles. I have like 12 profiles blocked. They just made another so clearly support didn't do anything. It is such a bummer DA doesn't allow us more privacy in certain aspects such as disabling notes and comments. Thanks for the help anyway!

MythicalPotat In reply to Amanda-Kulp [2019-02-25 07:00:39 +0000 UTC]

Dang... yeah I definitely agree dA support sucks at this kind of thing, they should really do more than just blocking the person and reporting. It's like the phrase always goes, "Nice guys finish last", you feel me? You know, because some people get banned for no reason and some trolls get away with everything. But yeah, I'm sorry I couldn't be any more help I hope this troll comes to a stop sooner or later! Just remember the one that's harassing you just wants attention and nothing more

Amanda-Kulp In reply to MythicalPotat [2019-02-25 07:02:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I stopped responding to not give any more attention and reported. Support took 3 weeks to get back to me and when they did all I got was an automated email stating the issue has been resolved. What a joke.

That's a pity. That just shows what a great job dA support is doing (not really)

GurehaiSoraku [2019-02-21 23:18:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for this. It really means a lot, since I despise enabling comments. I'm really prone to hate, and you never know what people will say right away. Anything could happen, and I'm not comfortable with that. Even though Deviantart is meant for interactions, I'm one who doesn't feel ecstatic about it.

MythicalPotat In reply to GurehaiSoraku [2019-02-22 03:03:07 +0000 UTC]

No problem at all, I'm glad this was able to help you I definitely get not knowing what would happen or what people would say about your artwork. It can be pretty intense yes, but sometimes people don't even comment at all so sometimes it's nice, sometimes not. However some people are nice on there so they might also have something nice to say. Keep that in mind as well!

I also saw you just joined dA so welcome ^^

If you have blocked someone, can they still reply to comments made by you on their deviations or vice versa?

Ex. Persona A commented on one of Person B’s deviations, but then blocked Person B. Can Person B still reply to that comment?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MythicalPotat In reply to Chronicler-of-Soul [2018-09-13 00:54:40 +0000 UTC]

Sadly no they can't. If Person B is blocked by Person A, then they can't view Person A's profile at all nor can they reply to their comment. In other words, once you're blocked you're blocked and you won't be able to see their activity. I hope that helps
