Deviation Actions
If you do not know what a chat bot is and are 100% sure you never will, then you may ignore the rest of this article.
Bot Registrations
Although we do not support bots on the chat network, we do allow you to operate one if you choose. In May 2007, we introduced a process whereby deviants had to apply to register their bot to ensure clear accountability between the bot owner and its use. This process worked well and we learned a lot about the number of deviants that abused this privilege, how they abused it, the number of deviants that owned bots, etc.
I have been meaning to review this bot application process for some time and recently have done just that. In doing this I have learned several things:
The vast majority of deviants that own bots on the chat network operate them responsibly.
The small percentage of deviants that abuse this privilege can easily be dealt with by the crack team of Volunteer MN@.
Deviants hate filling in forms and they'd much rather be creating art or chatting in a chatroom.
The Volunteer MN@ team have much better things to do than to review bot applications. Things like chatting it up in #devart, thinking of fun chat events and contests, and generally doing things that are more enjoyable to them.
The logical conclusion was that bot applications were a waste of time for both you and my volunteer team.
As of this writing you are no longer required to submit a bot application if you choose to introduce and operate a bot on the chat network.
If your past application for operating a bot on the chat network has been denied, then that denial still stands, and you won't be able to have a bot. If you have questions about this, feel free to contact the Help Desk.
If you have sent in an application recently and have not heard back that it is denied, then you can assume it has been approved.
The removal of bot applications in no way whatsoever relieves you of the responsibility for your bot. You will always be held accountable for any misuse of it on the chat network so please be mindful of who you allow access.
Thanks for reading and have a great day in the chatrooms and forums!

Hey Everyone,
Today turns out to be my last day as an employee of deviantART.

On a dark and scary stormy night...
within the Zombie Kingdom of dAmn...
monsters are stirring!
The Fella Zombie King needs your help! He needs to grow an army of monsters in the Zombie Kingdom in preparation for Halloween Night. Mummies, Zombies, Vampires, Demons, and WereWolves will all form their own Armies and build up their numbers by biting and infecting human victims and turning them into Monsters!
The Fella Zombie King will bestow prizes on the strongest Monsters! But you must make sure that the humans you infect and turn into Monsters stay in Zombie Kingdom so that they may learn the ways of the Army and be ready for Halloween N

Long, long ago, on a website not-so-far away...
Within the mighty village of dAmn, a war is brewing -- a war to appease the Great Fella God!
Many in the past have sought ways to please this angry beast, and many have failed. These tales of great battle and loss are still whispered around the campfires of #devart: DaPineapple (https://www.deviantart.com/dapineapple)'s valiant attempts to offer kingmancheng (https://www.deviantart.com/kingmancheng) as a virgin sacrifice, or fourteenthstar (https://www.deviantart.com/fourteenthstar)'s struggles to serenade Fella with her dulcet Scottish tones .. but nothing could be found to please the Great Fella God, not even a scantily clad FritsPlays (https://www.deviantart.com/fritsplays).
But now the tides are turning and the war is changing!
