Description Update: Thank you all for the feedback, was very helpful, so here's an update of my previous deviation about 'Groups - Declined Images'.
Added a drop down menu with reasons written on buttons.

Group Founders and Moderators please let me know in a comment/message/note, if this suggestion will work for you too, where you would like this drop down menu be placed, which are for your Group the main reasons to decline a member's submission and/or any other suggestion you may have. Thank you


Reason:

Many times I read in Groups' comments their members complaining for not given any reason, why their work was declined.
Happened to me and I had to send 2 messages to get the reply that was submitted in a wrong folder. I must addmit that I felt a bit uncomfortable to bother the moderators there because of the amount of images they have to check and all the other stuff they do...
So, I thought that it would be a nice way for this problem to be solved, if dA could add on those buttons few more words that will explain the reason why a member's submission was declined.

Would love to read your opinion about this, so please let me know what you think, and if this is something you'd like to see!

Update 2:
~ Suggestions for additional reasons ~

=gppr suggested "Incomplete credits"
~xXVampireDreamerXx suggested "Previously declined", "WIP"(incompleted work)
She also suggests that something like this can be used for contests or theme of the month activities as well.
=astralstonekeeper suggested "Not enough credit"
=gppr suggested "Incomplete credits"
~medreaming suggested "Does not meet quality standards", "Does not follow rules"
=MarcoMaxwell suggested "Add it to X folder", "Please, read the rules again"
*KassidiKeys suggested "Use of copyrighted materials without permission/copyright infringement"
=TheBourgyman wrote "The only thing I'd add to this is an option to write custom reasons, so groups with specifics rules should be able to give specific reasons for declining something, and not just select the generic ones".

Edit: I'm truly excited and thankful for this DD!

Huge 'Thanks' to =Flame-of-the-Phoenix , *SilverBrumbyThowra , *CACecil , =ikai-zixie and ~lavalampkap for suggesting it and ^ginkgografix for make it happen!

Thank you ALL for your kind comments and favs!

This would be great. Much better than having to always ask why your piece was declined.

Hi,
Got a question not directly related to this deviation. I remember seeing a section where one can "adopt" a group, or where group founders can list their interest in handing the group over to a new Founder, but I can't find where that was now and I thought maybe you'd know. Are you familiar with what I'm talking about?
Thanks.

Sorry dear, I don't know about this section. Usually I read about these in the Groups' journals I get.
Happy New Year

Declined - Because I don't like you

Lol, no, seriously, this is an awesome idea, and as an Admin of two Groups, I would love to see this implemented, not just for my members, but for me as well. It would just be so much easier for everyone involved.

Lol, sorry. Didn't mean to scare you. Just thought that would be a funny thing to add, because you know there's some admins out there that just won't accept a certain person(s) work because they don't like them for whatever reason, lol.

sirocco-rc In reply to ThoronWild [2010-09-26 17:53:51 +0000 UTC]

I'm not sure there can be anything for expired pics, because in my opinion the group's staff don't even look at them, so even if there's a possibility for an answer, they will never bother to send it.
Thank you for taking the time to view and comment

I moderate for two enormous groups here on dA -- #Realm-of-Fantasy and #digital-artists . We get hundreds and hundreds of submissions each week, and we have to give responses for each deviation we decline -- it's terribly time-consuming! This is a PERFECT fix to a huge problem we have, thanks!

This would be so helpful. Especially since my groups are so large and with 100+ subissions a day there is no way to leave messages for everyone. We need this for the grous. Great idea. I love it and think it needs to be implemented.

Man, fur shur!
I totally think this is a fantastic idea!
I've been declined so many times and never with any comments whatsoever. I mean, I see the "No Comments" and wonder "WHY! WHY! WHY!"
You've got it there to tell me so tell me!
