Comment on Stamp - Too Bad by stop-tracing
Holy shit, that's the most ridiculous new article I've ever read. What's with all their flip-flopping? Jeeze, the stuff they'll be "lenient" to is plainly against their own copyright policy.
Tracing will hone someone's kills?
That's laughable at best. What bullshit. DeviantART is basically encouraging people to trace instead of learn properly. Wait until those kids go into the real world and find out that tracing gets you nowhere, or stuck with a lawsuit.

Yeah, notice it's from January... this has been going on for a while. I hoped that the AX poster incident would make them change their minds but it's been two months and they don't seem to be budging. 
Tracing is definitely NOT a good method for any beginner artist and deviantART needs to stop making exceptions for any kind of plagiarism if it wants to call itself an "art community." You're totally right; we need to stop letting them encourage this.
If the admins are no longer willing to handle all kinds of art theft, we need new admins. I've been here since 2004 and I remember when they used to delete traces for copyright infringement.
And thus, the stamp and the club

Thanks for showing me that article, I still can't believe what I read. 
Good luck with the club.
