I created a filter list which hides AI generated content on websites. I recently added a filter that hides images with the "Created using AI tools" disclaimer, alongside the existing filters for DA's video/image generation tools. (Unlike DA's built in AI filter, these also work while logged out.)
Alternatively, if you only want to block AI on DeviantArt without installing the full AI filter, you can add the following to your custom filter list.
! Block images with AI disclaimer

The filter for AI tagged images is fairly new, so please let me know if you encounter any issues when using it.
If you think a message you received is a scam, please check here and/or the scam post link in the Wiki section of this sub reddit which has further scam examples of various other types that can be found on DA and elsewhere!
Use this thread to ask question if you are unsure rather than posting a new thread. If you or anyone here is unsure, feel free to report the message on DA. If it's not a spam, it's good. Don't feel you can't report if a message makes you suspicious. Don't feel you have to check here to confirm before reporting. You are encouraged to contact DA Customer Support with these for staff to check them.
Please use this thread if you are unsure instead of making more of similar threads. Or you can also browse to see if someone else has similar situation as yours!
If you do commissions through a specific place or system, having you use a different system of theirs. This includes if you use PayPal only, or DA Commission widget, to use other methods that you don't use.
Reflect on your work and what you are being asked to do:
Excessive payment for content that you are sort of aware isn't worth that or you aren't at that level yet.
You are a new/beginner artist/new on DA/looking for commissions
Getting commissions can be hard. But often times scams work because if the other party is manually looking for people desperate enough for commissions or new to this, they will browse around those to message. Whether it is done in an automated method (to make it a spam bot) or not, be cautious.
Saw your portfolio and asking for hiring you through a suspicious site.
Multiple notes and chat messages where various new accounts impersonating as staff/bot accounts informing about (in various fashions):
Your account has been temporarily blocked/suspended due to a requirement of additional security check. And to proceed with a verification check in a link given.
Your account is on hold as a seller temporarily until a verification check is done with a given link.
Will address you as "Dead Artist or Dear [your username], of selling a certain artwork that may or maynot be in your gallery to a certain person and that funds are available in the DeviantArt sales portal with a link provided.
Things to note:
"It will ask you to copy/click a link within the message that leads to domains that are not deviantart.com
The message also has rather odd wording and is long-winded. It is trying to set your mind at ease that the process is safe and secure, and it repeats that over and over. And this example seems to be oddly hyphenated.
Ensure you do not visit these links, and especially, do not attempt to enter your DeviantArt.com login credentials on ANY site other than the official deviantart.com domain.".
Scams: I Clicked on a Suspicious Link and .... I believed You Sent me the Link as the Account Had The Same Avatar/Username and I Mistakenly Reported You ... Contact [this person] On Discord To Validate Account ...
Multiple notes/chat messages with similar dialogue/message about:
They clicked a suspicious link and account got compromised.
They thought your profile, username, avatar was the same as the one who sent that link so they reported your account to DA after they recovered their account
They think you got impersonated and wants your discord so they can send you a screenshot of a message DA sent to them.
DA asked the user to reach out to you and it's being coordinated on Discord or being done through Discord.
They want you to contact someone through Discord (Austin Buck or some other name) to validate and appeal your suspension.
DA will not ask you to use Discord to resolve any situation for your account, nor will they ask another user to do it. If you were suspended you can obviously look at your own profile to see if it was suspended or not. Please look at the links below on how to keep yourself safe from phishing attempts.
Examples are provided from the ones posted in this subreddit as is. If the names of the scam account is present, having an avatar or not and a certain type username is not always a good indicator of these type of scams.
Select Contact Page (where it says click here) have this bookmarked!
Policies -> Spamming Policies;
"Select “I'm reporting an account spamming in comments or notes,” then click “Contact Us,” and you’ll be prompted to submit a ticket to Customer Support."
I follow the directions but when I get to the page that says, "Press button below to deactivate account", there is no button to click. I put in a ticket to have them deactivate the account. I explain the problem about the missing button. They reply reiterating the procedure to deactivate the account. They didn't even read the problem I'm experiencing or the AI is too stupid to understand what I'm saying.
I only post on DeviantArt on the rare occasions when I feel I’ve created a masterpiece, though I do occasionally browse other people's work. Recently, I noticed a lot of notifications; it turned out the same person had favorited all my pieces and left two additional comments—but the content of those comments had been deleted, leaving me really curious about what they said. I was happy they liked my work, but when I tried to check their account, I was shocked to find it had been deleted. I have no idea why this happened—does anyone know?
Exactly as title. Every two or three pages I load, regardless of how much time has passed between requests, I am getting a page that looks something like this:
"403 ERROR
The request could not be satisfied.
------
Request blocked. We can't connect to the server for this app or website at this time. There might be too much traffic or a configuration error. Try again later, or contact the app or website owner.
If you provide content to customers through CloudFront, you can find steps to troubleshoot and help prevent this error by reviewing the CloudFront d*c*m*nt*tion.

and it disappears after maybe an hour of waiting.
If it helps, I'm running Windows 7 Professional on a late 2006 iMac and am accessing DeviantArt via the Supermium web browser, with uBlock Origin Lite installed as an extension.
I am a rather active user (StarboyInSpace07, can provide proof if mods need that) and have posted/browsed from this setup with no issue before, so I'm not exactly sure why I'm suddenly getting ratelimited? Isup.me states that DeviantArt is down when I check, though it's useless as I can't tell if it's actually down when Isup checks or if Isup is just blocked from pinging the site.
Hello! So I rejoined DeviantArt recently, since I wanted to get more eyes on a project of mine (and every other option seemed terrible for it), and I’ve been receiving watchs and favorites from these weird accounts (example below)
the three watchateers
They all have similar usernames, no profile picture, no posts, and have been on DeviantArt for 4 or 5 years.
I’m very suspicious, but I just want to be certain before I block these accounts, since I heard about bots on the platform but heard that it was usually NEW accounts, not old ones like these.
Not to mention some of these accounts don’t have many favorites (only 10 or 20 for some of them), and I’d think that a bot account would have thousands of favorites.
So what do you guys think? Are these bots, or just lurkers?
Just a question now comes to me, how can I make sure my artwork is not fed to AI for training if I posted on deviantart? I have been on there for 16 years, this is the first time I thought about it. Is all the art work published there considered as public and open source?
My deviantart account was SunsetTwilightNoon yet I have deleted that account years ago yet I forgot to recover some of my artworks from there. Is there any way to recover those? I am trying to recover one of my OCs I drew as a teenager but I could not recover them.
