YOUR COOPERATION

2.500 "admins" ?
Yup, we need some more cooperation from you.
Some of you might know about the "club deviations " issue. An issue that's often enough mentioned to dA staff, and promised to be solved...
Meanwhile, awaiting...
Naturpics-club is a big club, with over 2.500 members now, so you can imagine it's a lot of work for the admins to keep track of all submissions, contests, comments,... Unfortunately, we're wasting a lot of time on sending reminders to visitors, members and non-members, favving club gallery deviations, instead of doing the effort of going to the original by clicking the link we always provide in the submission "Artist's comment".

What we ask from you ??
Please keep track of your submissions yourself.
You always get noticed when your submission is uploaded to our gallery, so it's easy to find the url-link.
So, visit your submissions in our gallery regularly, and if you see it's favved there (see the "Who"), send a reminder to them and ask to the original.

Example (what we usually send) :

"Hello,

You've added a club's deviation to your favourites/collections!

You are not allowed to add to your favourites or collections here, so please remove the [link] (--- change to your submission link ---) favourite/collection and re-add it from the original deviation, by following the link that is in the "Artist's comment" below.

Thank you very much
Wim *Wimley (--- change to your name ---)"

This means...
We will ignore messages from now, and count on YOU!

THANKS for understanding and cooperating!
