Description
Nothing to see here, folks.---
deviantART has begun making decisions for me about what is an isn't art in my own gallery, moving legitimate submissions from a dA gallery to my scrap folder.
Original deviation : [link]
My journal entry :
So my snarky Text Art submission was mysteriously moved to Scraps by deviantART this morning. Honestly I'm kind of surprised and a little disturbed. Just a little bit on the 1984 side of site management.
This is the offending Deviation : [link]
The note I had this morning : [link]
Why was my deviation relocated or moved?
Your deviation may have been reported by a member of the community for being in the wrong category and as such a member of the CEA or Help Desk staff has deemed this correct and moved the image to a gallery that is more suitable. Also, many Volunteer Gallery Moderators browse the galleries and when they discover something which seems to be in the wrong place or in the wrong gallery they will remove the work from that incorrect area and place it in a more suitable one.
If you have any questions about the exact reason that your deviation was moved you may contact the Help Desk where your inquiry will be forwarded to someone who can speak with you about the matter.

So apparently deviantART decided that my submission was not art, but in fact a scrap, as that is the "more suitable gallery" that they moved it into. I really enjoy the irony of deviantART's anti-SOPA efforts, only to have them turn around and make decisions for me about what is or isn't art in my own gallery just because it's critical of dA.
