~HelloKimmy13

Hello there, I have a problem:sick:. I think I am getting a few too many deviations per day in my inbox. How can I stop this from happening? :ohnoes: There has to be a easier way than leaving the group. :shrug:
$SL-Photography

A very easy fix to that! Before you go leaving the group because you think you are receiving too many deviations, follow these simple steps to remain in the group and not receive deviations from us anymore:
:pointr:First go to your "Friends" tab on the very top right of the window >> click "Manage Friends" >> uncheck "Deviations" for #PhotographLove >> press "Save". Also view FAQ #26: What is the deviantWATCH and how do I manage my deviantWATCH listing? ^^
~HelloKimmy13

Thank you so much! :hug:

I'm confused, where are we suppose to upload a photo without putting it in featured? By your submission guidelines/FAQ, submitting in featured gets you denied.
