iv. We will no longer address issues involving personal journals; deviants are free to discuss other deviants in their personal journals (commonly termed “calling out” ). We will continue to address hate speech, etc in personal journals.

Bad idea if I ever heard one. Now you're going to get every pissed-off n00b on the site making lists of the Deviants they hate and rallying their friends against administration for carrying out their duties.

It's nothing new, but for some reason you guys have suddenly decided to allow it. :|

Well, the fact it is nothing new and goes on constantly and in the end doesn't harm anything ( aside from our ability to police things that truly matter ) where is the harm in simply saying settle it yourself?

Doesn't harm anything? Now you can get someone rallying their friends against another deviant, resulting it even more dA drama and probably flooding of the deviant's page with flames.

Unfortunately, a user can only block 20 people. If someone with more than 20 fanbrats calls a user out in their journals, that user is going to need more than 20 block slots.

gg dA; catering to the deviantDIVAs and trolls since 2000 :/

This whole news post screams "I don't want to do my job properly so I'll half ass it."

that's my view entirely too... :/ they look after the trolls, harrassers and flamers more than the actual artists who just want to have a good time on here. im sick of it.

I agree.... I don't really think allowing calling-out in journals is a good idea at all. Hell, people already flame the living fuck out of people that dare to insult their idols if they can find out who they are. We can only hope that those popular people won't start listing names or we'll never see the end of the fangirls and boys bitching at people for 'OMGZ insulting teh awesomeness ~kawaiiiiiii~ artist ILOVETHEMLOL ur a bitch for insulting them DIENOW'
