Deviation Actions
(I thought this would be useful. Everything marked with a * is what I'd like your opinion about.)
Hello Amerimano lovers! It has come to my attention that not all of you know the rules. Yes, someone's art recently was removed from the group, I am not nitpicking at you, others are having the same issue as well. I don't mean to be strict and if you let me explain real quick you'll understand. Here's a copy of the rules, in which you can find on the front page:
Quick Rules:
♥ Please refrain from posting the following:
-Disaster art
-Screenshots/wallpapers
-Bases
-Official art
-Exact copies of other pieces
-(de)Motivational posters
-Other pairings
♥ Make sure you post your fanart in the correct categories. Monthly, the deviations that are in the wrong folder will be moved. Don't worry, you did not get in trouble!
*Notify EmpressRain is anything bothersome happens/comes up in the group. Grazie!

I know that a few of you might find this unfair. The reason for this is because dA has a lot of problems with people who post things that aren't their art or even art at all. That includes screenshots and wallpapers, bases, official art, copies, and (de)motivational pictures. I understand bases can be art too, but I'm sorry to say that 90% of dA only takes a few minutes on a base. I want your art, and all of your art. You have a hand, and although you think you may not be good, even the best of artists had a point in which they were just as advanced than you. It takes practice and dedication, and, this is an art site. I want to this to have 100% your art that you have taken your time into.
*I've also been wondering if I should ban MMD. I'm not a big fan of them, and to what I know all you do it download that character and you're good (if I'm wrong please excuse me). Like I said before, I am looking for art, not all AmericaxRomano material. I am not that desperate for a large group.
Disaster art and other pairings should be self explanatory. If a disaster that still affects the world today it being played with in a picture, it will be automatically removed, and not just that, but I could kick you out of the group just for the sake of being a jerk. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to seem like I'm throwing a bunch of tight rules at you. Like I said, my main focus is to have your art, and 100% your art. This is an art site.
*Some people will find the group and shove all their pictures of America or Romano into it. It surprises me when I go to see my inbox and suddenly have 10+ for this group, but to my disappointment, it's all solo characters. I mean, yeah, the folders exist, so have fun with them, but this has forced me to put a limit of only letting you guys post (globally) 2 to each folder a day. Submissions to Featured (AmericaxRomano) is unlimited and to Cosplay is 3 because if you come home from a con, you usually have many pictures and I thought 3 would be an okay limit.
What bothers me about this though is that people will hint to other pairings. They literally find all the pictures they have of America or Romano and send them all into the group. Please, this is spamming.
*So any opinions on adding or removing any rules? I will not argue, in fact I'm interested in what the members of this group want. Also if you have any ideas for activities or events such as another contest to get the art back going, please do say so!

So I've found another AmericaxRomano group. 'Course, we've been around much longer, buuut I still thought you might want to check them out just in case. It's

CONTEST DUE SOON
Alright, as I post this, it is the 18th of December. However, the contest ends on the 20th, meaning you guys have two more days. The thing is, I will not be judging them until after Christmas, as promised before, so if you manage to get your entry in before then, you're okay! So at this point, you actually have 7 days, a week.
Here's the journal containing all the information:
http://americaxromano.deviantart.com/journal/CONTEST-Due-Date-Extended-272278594
I am delighted with our current progress!
Get them in quickly!
CONTEST // Due Date Extended
Alright, I already received feedback from four people on the first day of posting a blog asking about an extension. So, yes, I will extend the due date for the contest until Tuesday, December 20th. However, the judging will be AFTER Christmas, so anyone if a bit late, that may be alright.
_________________________________
I hope you guys are happy with this date! Here is a copy of the information from past journals:
Amerimano Contest, Still Going!
The point of the contest is to have more members contributing art to the group, spread the love of Amerimano, and decorate the new Tumblr with your colourful pieces!

CONTEST DATE EXTENDED // FOLDER FIXED *Update
Alright, so I had been getting complaints about the "2011 Contest Entires" folder not working. I have offically found the problem, and now it is fixed so that any deviant has the right to submit their entry into the folder. Apparently you couldn't submit anything into the Cosplay folder either, so I fixed that. All folders are automatically approved, so no excuses for slipping things in the wrong folder!

I wish I had read this journal last night, cause had it not been for the restriction on how many pictures of single characters, I would have totally 'spammed' you. I feel like I have to apologize for that, if I had known how you felt I would have made an effort not to do it.
I love the way you've written this journal, it's straight to the point and clear with expressing your feelings about the rules in a professional yet also casual way. I totally respect you for that. Your interest in what the members of the group are thinking are also a sign that you don't hold yourself in such a higher regard above us, and that you take this group seriously. It truly amazes me.
As for my opinion on what I think of the rules above (the * ones anyway), I think that MMD should be banned. I have no problem with the program or anything like that behind it, but I do agree with you in that I don't really consider it an art.
I hope in some way that this helped.
