Q: What is #PhotoThumb?
A: #PhotoThumb is a dAmn chat where deviants come to socialize and share their photography. It is a place where mainly photographers can come and pool their collective minds and talents. Photographers can unite in celebrating their freedom, expression, voice, and wisdom. #PhotoThumb is about comfort, inspiration, and growth. Visitors to PhotoThumb can enter expecting encouragement, constructive criticism, humor, fellowship, and advice. Come to get inspired, stay to inspire others.


Q: My thumbnail isn't showing up, it appears as a grey box or says "[deviation: -title-]".
A: This is a problem that occurs with some deviations. The deviantART staff know about this problem and are looking into it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.


Q: What is a "Member" and how do i become one?
A: Currently the difference between "Guests" and "Members" is the number of thumbnails and emoticons allowed per line. To become a member the following must be true:

1. You have come into #PhotoThumb often and contribute, whether with thumbnails or conversation.
2. You know our channel Rules and abide by them.
3. You represent the channel well and offer help to other users.
4. For promotion to be considered, you need to add ~PhotoThumb to your devWatch.

Promotion is not instant. Please do not ask, hint or beg for a promotion.


Q: Must I add ~PhotoThumb to my watch if i want to be a member?
A: No, you will become a member by being promoted by our Staff.


Q: How do I become an "Operator" or "Moderator"?
A: We will ask you. "Operators have full authority to take control of the chat room. Moderators are like Operators but they can only promote the level of "Member" and do not unless otherwise specified have access to edit this community.


Q: What is a "Senior" and how do i become one?
A: Seniors are long time members of #PhotoThumb that have shown consistent good conduct and a healthy spirited attitude. "Seniors" are NOT #PhotoThumb staff. The first rule of being promoted to the Seniors level is not asking to be promoted to Seniors.


Q: I was banned, when will it be removed and who do i contact for help?
A: If you were banned from the #PhotoThumb channel, then only the Operator, Moderator or Founder who set the ban can remove it. If you have any questions or concerns, please send them in a note to ~PhotoThumb and not to the staff members personal accounts. Refer to the Rules for more information.


Q: All right, I got it, but what are the rules of the #PhotoThumb?
A: Rules
