SLASH-YAOI-ORIG-FICS has finally grown big enough to need moderators!

SYOF REPORT:
What was removed from this group so far:
1) Random art and fanart submitted to literary folders
2) Various fanfiction submitted to literary folders (Naruto, Star Trek, DBSK RPS, and more)
3) Random manga pages submitted to literary folders
Most of these offenses were done not by regular group members, but by the
serial submitters*, who submit their work to over 9000 groups without any regard. The removal went without notifying most of the offenders, and they probably didn't even notice.
-----------------------------
Moderated folders: Art folders (ILLUSTRATIONS; BOOK COVERS; MANGA COVERS) were put on moderated submission status some time last summer because of huge influx of
junk submissions** there back then. After imposing moderation, the influx of junk submissions there became less, but it is still happening and all getting rejected.
CONCRIT FACTORY was moderated from inception because submissions placed there for critique are just the copies from the main folders. It is done by author's request only.
Non-moderated folders: Literature folders (NOT RATED; 13 plus, 18 plus) were never on moderated submissions status. Most group members submit right stuff to correct folders, sometimes an honest error happens, but not often. Serial submitters are the main offenders here. Should these folders to be moderated is up for discussion, but doing so will require stuff because of submission volume.
* serial submitters - dA members who desperately want exposure, pimping their deviations to a large number of groups without reading the rules or participating. The number of groups they join and submit to may be shocking to a regular user.
** junk submissions - submissions that clearly do not belong there (literature to art folder, etc). Mostly done by serial submitters.
