PLEASE READ! VERY IMPORTANT!

I saw a journal entry from =Master-Kankuro , who pointed out to me a VERY drastic club system change on dA.

They´re finally trying to seperate clubs from private accounts.
With the intention to limitate the inactive/dead clubs, they have suggestions for pretty
hard limiations for clubs.
Examples:

ONE club per moderator!
Only 100 members per club WITHOUT premium membership
A submission-limiation, so only a ceratin ammount of fanarts can be posted there.

More about the planning changes and how people have reacted on them here:

There also is a "prototype" for such a club-account which you can visit here:

WHAT YOU CAN DO?

Please COMMENT on #communityrelations , either on their page, or on their blog. CommunityRelations is owned by $Moonbeam13 , and she is the one responsible for listening to the community and giving feedback to the developers. I’d say it’s more important to comment on #communityrelations than #devBUG
Feel free to copy this text and post it in your journal. Anyone can copy this text. (make sure the links work)

If you’re a member of a club, please contact your club owners, because in my experience, they probably don’t know! So many people didn’t know a club system was being developed. Some still don’t know.
If you’re a club mod, please post a journal, asking people to comment on #communityrelations Feel free to copy all of this text, making sure the links work.

It’s only people commenting on either #communityrelations or #devBUG’s blog that will make it seen. Replying to this journal most likely isn’t going to have any impact. Take the plunge, and comment about what you think of the limitations on #communityrelations

DON’T REPLY HERE. Please say what you think of the situation on #communityrelations , whether you think these limitations are a good idea or not. Most importantly, say WHY.

THIS IS A GOOD CHANCE TO GET A DECENT SYSTEM, considering they are testing basic (unsubscribed) groups at the moment. Lots of feedback will be more likely that they will see reason, and, in my opinion, removing the groupie limit will be good for dA as well as the users.

Welcome to the Shino X Kankuro club
This club is for people who like the couple Shino X Kankuro, this couple may not be fave alot but I believe there will be enough people for a club



Rules:

*Moderators must put their signature at the end of a journal or comment and such. Keeps the confusion to a minimum, and helps us know who's keeping up.

*No bashing! If you don't like the couple and our site, just click the back or exit button! That way you don't have to waste your time talking to us, and we don't have to waste our time listening to ya! You celebrate your favorite couples, we celebrate ours!

*Members are highly encouraged to submit deviations at least once a month. It lets us know that you're paying attention and you're still alive.

*Do not favorite any deviations from the club. Go to original and favorite it there. The link is always on the work. Videos are the only things you may favorite here, unless the artist has posted it in author comments as an individual deviation on their page.

*Moderators are encouraged to keep a log in the journal of the date they log into the account. Please include your timezone as well. This makes us more able to keep up with each other as well as the members. This log will be cleaned weekly and renamed for the present week. Ex: "Thursday, August 14th - ~Fingahs - Eastern Standard Time" (Example is Fingahs because the one writing it is Fingahs >-< )



Contest rules:

*To enter a contest, send a note to us with the subject "Entering" or "Contest" Note: If you do not give it a subject of "entering" or "contest" your note will most likely be automatically deleted!

*When you finish a piece of work for a contest, send us note with the subject "entry" or "contest entry" Note: If you do not give your note a subject of "entry" or "contest entry" your note will most likely be automatically deleted!

*If you're writing something, we'd prefer for it all to be put together. Or in two parts, instead of many chapters. Regular submissions can be pretty long, but shouldn't exceed more than 75 parts. But when it comes to contests, let's keep it in small portions, okay?




To join:

*You must like the couple or the 2 characters as close friends.

*Send a note saying you want to join.

*Add us to your watch list and put our icon on your journal.



Artwork submissions:

*If you wish to submit something, just send us a note with the subject "submit" or "submission" with the linked picture. Note: If you do not set the subject as "submit" or "submission" your note will most likely be automatically deleted!

*You may submit pictures of just Kankuro and just Shino, alongside pictures of the two together. We will not accept submissions of KankuroxKiba or ShinoxKiba, or any characters that have nothing to do with the reasoning for this club to be in existence.

*Submissions will be accepted or rejected within a 48-hour basis unless a notification is posted saying otherwise. We have three moderators, so it should be kept up pretty well.

*When submitting writings, they can be pretty long. But they shouldn't exceed more than 75 parts.



Club news

Quick edit: I also noticed that there were like ten people that had asked to join a long long time ago, and were never added to the members list, even though they watched and we watched back! I'm glad that I caught that. I thought that we hadn't had anyone want to join in forever. XD Don't forget, you guys(mods) that we need to mark our comments! See what we miss? <.<

Long time no see, eh?! Just dropping by to say "hi" I noticed we haven't had any submissions in a REALLY long time! We had almost 300 deviations in our watch list, and I only found one KankuShino in there. Where's the spirit? And almost 200 messages. The majority were journals and polls. I was so surprised to find NO notes and NO submissions! I think I need to take more care of this club. The other mods and I have a lot of stuff going on in our lives, so it's tough to get around to it these days. My birthday is coming up. So I have to clean house for my party on the 18th. My bday is on the 16th. So I'm stressing greatly that my laptop gets here before my party at the very least... Anyway, I'm having a few physical problems that are causing me trouble with a multitude of things. Don't worry, it's no technical disease. xD I'm just having some issues eating, and I've been getting dehydrated a lot lately. But my whole sick thing left me, now my mom has it. My throat is still a little sore, but that's possibly from the vocal practice I'm doing nowadays. Anywhos, despite the problems I'm having right now, I like to work to give myself something to do, and keep from thinking so much that my head blows up, or I break down. XD

So, this account is ACTIVE ONCE AGAIN! after so long. Feel free to enter any more submissions! Perhaps soon I'll make some updates to our group. But I have two other groups to keep up with and update as well. Well, g'day/week/month/year. X3
