Some Changelog Info!
To better protect our admin team and members alike, the Coordinators have decided to implement a Changelog to better record our corrections and discussions so admins may link directly to this to show members that things have been fixed and discussed!
The Changelog will update every Friday as that is when they is most available to make changes and answer group notes. That is also the day that we check the Suggestion Box on the website!
How Can I Make a Suggestion/ Update Request?
There are currently Three Ways to make a suggestion for group betterment or to show a correction that needs to be made. They are listed in order of EFFICIENCY. The fastest way to contact the team is listed first.
- NOTE THE GROUP – The Group is not leaving DeviantART at this time and this is the best way for us to keep tabs on member suggestions and edits. If you post a Question in the Discord Chat you may be asked to send that question in to the group so it may be reviewed. It’s conclusion will be posted here and you will be tagged with a link to the changelog at that time.
- LEAVE A WEBSITE SUGGESTION – The Website Suggestion Box is anonymous to members and will be kept that way. You will not receive a tag telling you that the suggestion/ change has been made.
- LEAVE A DISCORD QUESTION OR SUGGESTION – You may ask a group related question in the #Questions channel on Discord, or leave a suggestion in the #Suggestion-Box channel. PLEASE NOTE: We have a “Don’t Block The Box” policy in the Discord Chat and most times, the suggestions will be left with no answer. Discussion is discouraged in that channel; please move discussion to the General Chat areas. Suggestions made on Discord are not anonymous and you will be tagged with a link to the changelog when they have been resolved.

- Pointed out by Bluroan#0612 (Discord)| X
- Zombie brains is missing from the website. [B]
- Currently, there are still several different items that are missing from the website. We are still in the process of transferring them over and are hoping to get this done as soon as possible.
- Pointed out by elisethechemist#4672 (Discord) | X
- Suggestion to allow members to utilize the Discord chat to stream their art. [B]
- While we encourage our members to share their art, we, unfortunately, do not have enough admins active at all times to be able to monitor the Discord chat to make sure what is being streamed follows our rules. We want to make sure that everything that is being shared follows along with our guidelines and is not abusing the Discord chat. This means that at this time members may not use the Discord chat to stream their art.
- At this time we will have to shelve the idea of members reserving a time to stream art on the server until after we finish our transition.
- We highly encourage members to stream using other streaming services and link to their stream in the #art-share channel so that others may see it!
- Suggested by Flinty#5677 | X
- Suggestion to add an item that removes or swaps out non-breedable traits. [B]
- At this time the team will have to shelve this suggestion while focusing on website fixes. We will revisit this suggestion when our transition is complete.
- Suggested by The Edgiest of Grandpas#4639 (Discord) | X
- Updated various links on the FAQ page to redirect to the Website counterparts [B]
- Anything that still links to somewhere not on this website has yet to be transferred over but the link will be exchanged out once that information has been transferred.
