So you became a member! Congratulations! You can get started by submitting art, but we recommend reading our guidelines for members first...
Behavior
Your behavior effects not just this group, but each person who comes into contact with our group. Please be respectful of other people's opinions and ideas. #deviantHEART is a group whose purpose is to promote positivity and warm-fuzzies. If conduct is consistently unbecoming, we can permanently remove members from the group (but we sure would hate to do that).Chatroom
Our chatroom is #devheart and has the same purpose as the group. The rules are very simple: treat people they way you want to be treated. If you cannot do that or cannot maintain a positive attitude, you will be asked to leave. If the behavior becomes a problem, we have the ability to permanently remove members from the channel (though we would hate to have to do that).Submissions

These are not set in stone. Art is subjective and is decided on a case-by-case basis in #deviantHEART. Please send a note to the group if you have questions on why a submission was declined or why one was accepted. We do not always leave a message when declining.VIP Members
VIP members are members who have given their time freely to help improve both dA and #deviantHEART. They follow the same guidelines as regular members with the exception that they can submit more per week, not require votes on their submissions, and have access to the backroom. If you are interested in becoming a VIP member, you will want to read the Volunteer Guidelines for #deviantHEART.Appealing a Ban
We hate to see members go, but even more, we hate to see a member get banned. If you find yourself "deviously denied," you can send the group a note and ask why. If you know why, you can send Lantiis a note and plead your case: What lesson have you learned? How do you intend to ensure the same situation does not happen again? A ban can only be appealed ONE time.
