DeviantArt is a place where members are able to express themselves in a reasonable fashion, but we recognize that members will express a varying level of courtesy or rudeness to one another that can cause social conflict.

To assist our members, all DeviantArt profiles are equipped with a set of self-moderation tools, described in our article Social Conflicts and Self Moderation.

While DeviantArt is tolerant of a certain level of conflict, we prohibit members from utilizing certain tactics and behaviors and will intervene in severe situations.

When another person adds your profile to their Blocked Users list, respect their wish to cease all interaction with you. Let the situation to come to an end. 

Efforts to continue to contact the member who has blocked you, or other efforts to continue to escalate the original conflict, can result in your behavior being classified as abusive or harassing in nature which, if brought to the attention of our staff, can result in disciplinary action being taken against you, up to and including the termination of your DeviantArt account.

Members are allowed to make use of their journal and status posts to discuss any argument or social conflict they may have with another member and to express their opinion and viewpoint of that situation in a reasonable fashion. DeviantArt attempts to be tolerant of these kinds of posts, but posts that pass a certain threshold, in regards to how they are written, can be removed by our staff.

DeviantArt discourages members from using their posts in this fashion as doing so can cause an existing conflict or situation to escalate.

Any provocative material you may make concerning members whom you have added to your Blocked Users list can make it difficult for our staff to intervene in your issue, should your post appear to directly cause your situation to escalate or for those blocked members to make attempts to contact you in order to debate or counter what you have posted.

Posting screenshots of the online activity of someone with whom you have an ongoing or past conflict is not allowed. 

DeviantArt does not allow posts of screenshots which serve as personal attacks against other members. This includes any screenshot of any online activity, and are not allowed even if identifying information, such as username and avatars, have been censored out. Submissions of this nature are most often used to attack, embarrass, or "call out" other deviants and are a common tactic in cyberbullying and other harassment campaigns and as such are prohibited entirely.
