----- NEWS -----

As we just learned, the national-socialism group has been banned. We do not know whether this is a temporary or permanent ban though, however, as for now they are gone and our main aim has been accomplished. A "thankyou" to all of you who have been here!
But: Where shall we take it from here? Note us or post a comment!

The talks with the UNdA were unsuccesful at first but I believe we go there eventually. Please have a look at their website!

On a sidenote, a member of the community has started an onlinepetition on petitiononline.com opposing the holocaust-denial and hate on deviantArt.! She now has over 1500 signatures, which is sufficient for what she aimed for. I am in touch with her and I can guarantee you that you will get to know about the deviantArt-issue outside of deviantArt soon. If you haven’t signed yet – go for it and sign! Every name counts.

---GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP----

This group is supposed to be an online petition to the deviantart administration and an active group against right-winged beliefs on deviantart, acting as an information-centre. Please watch the group to show that you stand up against right-winged ideology, that you disagree with fascism, racism and the denial of the holocaust as promoted by some deviants. If you can, please link to us in your journal, make this group well-known! Note: We will not screw your message centre with thousands of journal-alerts, nor will we submit many deviations (at the moment there aren't any planned anyway), we will make a major-journalupdate once a week and that's it. Your watch will be counted as a signature - signing a petition has never been so easy!

Deviantart has recently had more and more submissions concerning right-winged beliefs, the website has been used to promote Hitler and his ideas, deviations promoting hate against jews and foreigners have been submitted and althought this violates the deviantart rules (see FAQ #12: Am I allowed to submit art that is pornographic, hateful or demeaning? FAQ #12: Am I allowed to submit art that is pornographic, hateful or demeaning?) and the terms of service (see [link] 19 (b)) and some countries's laws (the terms of service do not specify which countrie's laws apply), the administration does not delete or restrict these submissions. If you discover fascist comments or submissions please send us a note. We will add your reports to this journal - anonymously.

We will link to deviants and deviations regarding right-winged beliefs in our journal, which will be updated as soon as we have new information, however, it will only be classified as a MAJOR edit (i.e. you get a journal-alert in your message centre) ONCE A WEEK and you will be informed about the latest developments in an extra section of the journal) - what you do with the mentioned deviants and deviations is up to you. We do NOT ask you to insult these members or write spammails to the staff - however, we DO ask you to openly comment on their work (i.e. directly on the deviation, journal or comment or even on their userpage) and report their submissions. Please do not note them.

-----AIM------

1. To ban all extremely right-winged, racist and fascist ideology and all holocaust-denial from deviantArt.

2. To restrict the use of NS-symbols such as the SS-sign and the swastika, also the use of photos of NS-soldiers, SS-troops, Adolf Hitler, Heinrich Himmler etc. These symbols and images should remain usable for art, however, they should not be used in a gloryfying context or as propaganda nor should a submitted artwork consist of nothing but such a symbol.

3. To stop deviantart being a meeting point for the extremely right-winged.

-----STAMPS-----

has created two stamps for the subscriber's journals; use :thumb32373354: or :thumb32373354: or to incorporate the stamps into your journal! The stamps have now been added to our gallery, too. If you are not a subscriber you might add them to your favourites.
