Hello and welcome to ~devARTdetectives!

How many times have you been browsing through deviantart, and found something that you KNOW is stolen? You've seen it somewhere before or it doesn't match up with the rest of their gallery.

The problem? You can't remember WHERE you saw it, or WHO it belongs to. So now you have a bigger problem--you're on deviantart, where, sensibly enough, it's a policy violation to call out an art thief and ask people to look through their gallery and find sources for you.

Well, no more problem!

If you find an artist on deviantart whom you believe to be an art thief, NOTE (not post on the main page) this club privately, and the detectives here will review their gallery, hunt for sources and hopefully recognize who they belong to, all anonymously. They'll then report back here, and we'll do everything we can to get the deviations removed.

If you'd like to become a detective, send us a note with the title join.

If you'd like to report someone who might be stealing, send us a note with the title theif.

There will be NO calling out art theives anywhere publicly on this page. If you do, we will report you ourselves to the PV team. I'm sorry, but this is a precaution we have to take to keep dAd running.
