So, a lot of you are confused about how to actually use these shiny new submissions limits! Here are some examples that should help you sort out what to do to get your limits sorted the way you want them to be...
Submission limits are found in the "Manage members" settings, under "On Gallery" or "On Favourites". (You can limit both gallery and favourites and the settings are completely independent.)
I want to limit my members to 3 submissions per week in total, whatever folders they put them in
Choose "3 per week" from the dropdown next to "Featured" and then make sure all other folders are set to "Global Setting".
I want my members to be able to submit 2 a day to each folder
Click on "show all folders" then select "2 per day" for every folder.
I want my members to be able to submit as many deviations as they like, but only one a month to the featured folder
Choose "1 per month" from the featured dropdown and set all the other folders to "unlimited". (Technical part: one per month will then be your global setting but the other folders will override it.)
I want my members to be able to submit 10 a week but only 1 a month to the Contest Folder
From the featured dropdown select "10 per week". Then set Contest Folder to "1 a month" and all other folders to follow the "global setting". (Your Contest Folder submission won't count towards the 10-a-week limit.)
I want my members to be able to submit 5 a week, to any folder except featured, where they can't submit
Choose "5 per week" from the dropdown next to "Featured", select "not allowed" for submissions to featured and then make sure all other folders are set to "Global Setting".
I don't want a submission limit!
The default setting should be no limit

I donβt see a βfeaturedβ drop down anywhere in admin area/manage members. How do I set a limit of 3 submissions per week?Β

There is no unlimited option, not even for Founders. Please remove it!

For some reason, 10 is my default but I want it to be unlimited!

Yeeeeeeah. There's no unlimited option. Just checked the dropdown menus for my group. I: Ten is apparently the limit. The literal fuck?

What if you want unlimited submissions but no submissions to featured?

what am i doing wrong...? i just created a group for the first time and i'm trying to figure out how to have unlimited favourites? i can't find the unlimited option anywhere??

Same .__. there is no unlimited option

There should be an option for admins & group creators to review the things posted in Groups on DeviantArt.
Β
Something similar (doesn't have to be exactly the same) to how approving a post works for Facebook Groups.
Β
Plus the 10 limits a day obviously isn't working well for many members on DeviantArt cos' it applies to anΒ entire Group (including all the folders and sub folders with in the group). ie: One member can only submit 10 items to any One Group in a single day (doesn't matter which folder or sub folder it goes into).
Β
And the above applies even if they are an admin or they are the Group founder.

please get rid of the limit, it's seriously irritating

glad that i have to wait to put all important info in my new group and by glad i mean irritated considering im the founder
but thanks for the generous 10 submissions. i'm sure that will reduce spam (read: it wont)

I feel that I should be able to submit as much art as I want. It's my group so therefore my rules. Makes sense no?

Is there a big right now with the submission limits? I am apart of a group called Domain-of-the-Wolf and every time I try to submit more than one thing it gives me a message saying "Submission would exceed the global limit of 1 deviation per 1 day", but upon speaking to the staff they say that their settings are unchanged and are still set on unlimited. Could someone please help? I'm not the only member having this issue.

I'm having an issue right now with limitations. Until the recent group change, I had my group limited to 2 a day with global setting enabled as well as no submissions to featured. For the past two nights, I've noticed one member has been able to submit over the usual 2 limit.
Someone please help me fix this. I just want my members to be able to submit two deviations a day.

Where do you know about a change in groups? is there an official post about that?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm referring to the one that deals with removing the 1,000 and 100 deviation submission option. I've seen that one myself. It was after it that I started having a problem with my limitations.
I went in after I first noticed a problem, and saw the change in the submission limit. So I reset my folders to featured not allowed and I believe abstract is my first folder in alphabetical order to 2 per day, then the rest to global setting. Which I thought is how you do it. I could be wrong. I probably am. I'd just like for members to submit two pieces a day and none to the featured folder.
π: 0 β©: 1
ah, is not officially told, you realized as many here :/
for my group is bad because I do a lot of submissions in one take and then I leave the group alone for a time. Like 100 one day and nothing more for days...
maybe with low submission is easier to recover it...

They've not made a notice yet, but it is a thing active founders have discovered.
That's why I don't agree with limiting founders or co-founders. They should be allowed more than ten a day, but someone had spoken to a customer service rep who said they had conducted research and found that "most groups only add a few deviations to a group. Ten is more than generous". I can understand restricting members, but not the people who actually run the group.
I've not been able to fix it yet. I just had the same member I noticed a few nights ago submit four to one folder instead of two. I'm getting a little annoyed that I can't fix my group how I want it fixed.

On global submission limit, the list only goes up to 10, with no option for unlimited submissions. Is the dropdown I'm supposed to be looking at somewhere else (im looking at global submission limit; x deviations per y) or did I do something else wrong?
edit;; I don't know if it matters but the group I need this for is baroque-adoptables

I think the only folder that our members are able to submit to is the featured folder, the others seem to be locked..
Is there any way to fix this?
π: 0 β©: 1
You need to go to Admin Area>Manage Members, then click on members. On the right hand side should be an "On Gallery, Members" option in bold. Click "Show All Folders" just below this in blue and all the individual folders will show up, and you can set limits on these (they're set at "Can't submit" by default :'D).
I know this is an old question but I thought I'd answer it just in case, or in case another person has the same problem C:

Itti ,
Here's what I'm having a problem with right now...
In a group I help to run, All-World-Works , I current have the Global Submission Limit at 1 per week as there are about 50,000 people in the group.
No one is allowed to submit into the Featured Folder, while every other folder has the limit applied.
I don't know what exactly is wrong, but it seems that the system is ignoring that limit entirely and allowing members to submit as much as they want.
Worse yet is that I also have all the individual folders set to the Global setting as well, with 'week' selected.
I know the Members are, or at least should be set up correctly, and are set in that way.
Contributors, Moderators, Co-Founders, and the Founder have a few different settings, would those settings affect the regular members?
How do I fix it to where we only receive one submission, period, per person per week?
I know my group members and I are tired and frustrated with having to decline almost 20 or so pieces at once from a person who had selected nearly their entire gallery to place into our group.

I'm having the same problem in my group, I have it set so that members should not be able to submit to featured, and a limit of 3 a day to all other folders, but members seem to be able to submit as many things as they want to anyway.

I found out that there is an option underneath the Gallery for just members to change their Global Submission setting.
Go to where it says submit to featured, and allow it for that moment to bring up a separate menu.
It'll display the global submission limit from there to where you can change it.
Each tier of members including the Co-Founders, Contributors, Moderators, regular Members, and the Founder have this option.

Thanks for sharing that, hopefully that takes care of it :3

Woo I hope someone can answer me ;v;
I assume the Featured folder = default/global settings
That being the case, I want NO ONE to post in the Featured Folder, while everyone can submit 2 images a week total anywhere else. How would that work?
I have it that each folder is 2 a week, but that sounds like they can post 2 in every folder (I have like 5 folders)... so would they end up being able to post 10 images if they submitted in random folders? Since that is what I don't want to happen. >.<

How can you see what the submission limit of a group is, if you're just a simple member?
π: 0 β©: 1
You can't from what I'm aware. Usually the mods of a group would make a journal or some sort of indication what the limits are, but sometimes they won't. You'd prob have to ask the mod of said group, maybe even ask them to post the information.
Otherwise, you'd have to do trial and error I guess. XD

Hi, I was just wondering, is this information still upto-date? I want my group submission to be Not Allowed for Featured then 2 per day overall for the other folders (not 2/day per folder). i followed the instructions, set the Featured to Not Allowed; 2/day for the folder after that, then set the rest to global setting however, a regular member was still able to make more than the designated limit. is there something else i should do? ><
π: 0 β©: 1
Right, I blocked the submissions to Featured (submissions to "Featured": are not alowed) but members still submit their work there
π: 0 β©: 0
Hey I'm trying to get a piece I already uploaded to go into the "Featured" section of my gallery like I always do with my submissions...why is this one work having this problem? Even when I hit the edit button, the normal "submit to folder" option doesn't even show. Help please!
