Regarding our Club Avatar!



I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time on ensuring that all of our members display our avatar in their Journals, Shoutboards, linked to other Journals displaying our club avatar, OR our club name in your signature line.

My Reason?.....................again, is very simple.
I will not give exposure to someone who has us on their watchlist, but has left DA without removing us, or who has never been active with the club since they've joined in any way.

I was recently accused of asking you guys to place our avatar in your journal to get pageviews. Needless to say, I was very offended when accused of this.

I have had several people question my reasons and/or make a case for why they'd not like to display our avatar, and I want you guys to know that I do respect your right to creativity on your Journal page.

I have made a decision just this morning.

I will no longer require that you display our avatar anywhere, or our name in your signature line as a requirement to be a member or submit to our gallery. All that is required is that you watch us.

However, those of you who have been around long enough, know that one of the best ways to get exposure here is through our Journal features and contests.
Our contests require that you find other members to expose.
It will be a requirement during these contests that when looking for members to feature, that you see our club avatar displayed somewhere, or our name in their signature line.
Let me warn you that looking for an avatar on someone's front page is alot simpler than digging through comments under photos for a signature. I suspect that most members will stop at looking for avatars on Journal pages, and those of you who choose to display our name in your signature, may miss out, or lessen your chances of being chosen for a Journal feature.

So to reiterate, IF you choose not to display our avatar blah blah blah, You WILL NOT BE FEATURED IN OUR JOURNALS.

Enough said.

This goes into effect now.

I will, however, continue to go through our member list, and delete those members who have appeared to have left DA.

They will recieve a note advising them they have been removed giving them a chance should they return to DA to notify the club.

Also, it would be greatly appreciated that is you choose to leave the club that you let us know so we can remove you from our watchlist.

Thanks for your patience and understanding, this has been a very tedious task for me.

A wonderful idea hon. It makes perfect sense. Expozure is a great club, and the only way for more members is advertising.

I was sorry to hear that you were accused of wanting more pageviews. That's a disgusting claim. Pageviews shouldn't mean anything. The art should mean the most.

I love this club, and I'm making an effort to become more involved in it this year.

Thank you for your admin work and guidance. It is greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work :hug:

uh, i can understand your problems...i have two clubs i manage, created one more to leave it to be maintained by others because of some unreasonable people, and also left admin position of Nature Club for i could not take attacks of some people anymore, i don't have time for such stuff.
my opinion is that you don't need to give any reason for club rules, you as an admin have a right to display in your gallery what you wish and make your own rules for club and eventual contests. who does not like the rules, doesn't have to be a member or participate in the contest. and i think it's fair to give a club exposure in our jourals as the club gives exposure to our deviations. it's a community which is beneficial firstly to the members as club has nothing off the large amount of members or pageviews - but more members are in the club, and more pageviews the club gets - better for the members, right?
thank you for your effort, hope you won't loose your will to run a large club as i did :hug:

Don't get it... Exposure of the members work will be only get larger when more members join in.In order to realise that you needexposure of the club. Don't people get that?

I appriciate your work and will continue to display the clubs avatar on my page.... Hope the other members will do so to...

Keep up the goos work :hug:

So far I try not to let those who give me an attitude get to me.
I do have to say that 99% of this clubs active membership are such amazing people. All very cordial, mature and appropriate and accomodating to me. I guess we all get those people once in awhile who like to make life interesting. But for me, I never lose sight of who I am or my values. I have never done anything for self interest and many people who "know" me know this. I put my members first here in the club. I could care less about pageviews.

Thanks for your kind words, and as someone who has been there I know you can appreciate all the hard work that goes with running a club :heart:

I joined *Ex-po-zure because lots of deviants with deviations I found interesting had its avatar in their journal. And what's wrong about promoting the Promoter? In the end I profit from a growing *Ex-po-zure community, too. It helps to increase my audience after all.

Just my :twocents:.

Stupid people.... People just want a free ride. If I see a photo that interests me, I go that user's page in hopes that they have other great photos. I'm more likely to look through their gallery if they display that avatar in their journal.
