Time for a change *Important*

Journal Entry: Sat Jul 3, 2010, 8:25 PM


Its Time


Attention Manga Academy, its time to change what we do and more importantly how we do it.  We have failed you by being less active then we should be and I implementing changes so that Manga Academy will be the Group it was set out to be.

Step 1 A lot of our moderators are... inactive.  Any mod that doesn't send me a note in the next week will be "Let Go", yes harsh but im tired of people doing nothing or telling members false things... Gato and DragonFire, you are the Reason this group functions at all :D You deserve much more credit then you guys get.  

Any member Wanting to be a mod can Apply by sending us a note titled "Mod Application" Tell us about yourself, why you love Manga, where you live!! We dont know how many new people we will take so try to get them in as fast as you can!

Step 2 Im tired of not looking at tutorials!  Go FIND SOME!! We are not All knowing! We try but most likely you have found a tutorial that we dont have that could be helpful! Message that person! Tell them to submit to MA, YOU are the Ambassadors For MA!! :love:

Step 3 Weekly Feature! I asked Members What they liked most in the old MA and they Loved the Front Page Feature Slide Show, I loved it too! And That means one thing, We Are opening the Gallery to more Art!!

"But Wait JP, I got Spammed last time that happened!?"

Its Ok, With dA's new Deviation Stacks, You wont get spammed and you can scroll down to the Tutorials you want to see!! Dont worry, we will still sort through the tutorials and Drawings to make sure their still is a Standard!

Expect Gato and I to Reorganize the Gallery folder in the next few days! So dont jump on the Submit button just yet! :heart: By The Way Gato, Dragonfire, and MLeth, you have been promoted to Burnt Toast! Congratz!

Step 4 We Now Have a New opening in our Staff, MangaAcademy Loved.  If your a good enough Artist and Participant you can be voted into our MALoved Position and Have access to the Back Room and other Cool Things like setting up or Designing layouts on the site! Only the people that truly love MA will ever get to this spot! :love:

So What do you Guys think of the Changes? Please Give us your Advice!

JP out-

I believe that art submition should be enabled, but there should also be folders in the favs area. Since many members complain about spam. Maybe the quality check you did should be a bit more strict. Only artwork which is really well-done ( I mean the artist has put a large amount of effort, not just finalised, properly finished pics) should be placed in the group.

i think if the art should stick to the fav's, i like having the tut's in my inbox without the then tons of art that was there before the old changes.
(or that dA should let us watch folders of groups, but i think that suggestion got ignored)
