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 is such a great idea. I'm an admin for a group that gets a lot of submissions and selecting reasons from a drop-down menu instead of typing them out would make life so much easier!!

Genius!!! i often submit stuff from other members to my favourite groups, and it sometimes seems sad when they decline it and i dont know why, and i especially feel guilty on the rare occasion that i reject one from my group and dont tell why, especially since you cant tell who submitted it unless it was the artist

Tami6677 In reply to ??? [2010-09-10 21:16:10 +0000 UTC]

Yes. They need to dot his NOW. I really do hate writing it out a reason why it was declined and I hate asking why it was decline for the same reason as you.

The only 'bad' thing or 'down side' about this idea is that it seems a little cold and unpersonal seeing as there wouldn't be much communication with others anymore, but whatever. I mean sometimes its better that way because I have gotten in situations where this would have been the better option then talking to the person directly.

So really wonderful idea and well done I must say =]

This won't change. Anyone can choose to communicate direct with the member who's submission was declined, this option will remain as is. This suggestion is for those who send the 'Declined' message without further explanation. With this suggestion I just try to make both sides happy Thank you very much for commenting

Oh I know that the commenting wont change but I know some people would be thinking "Why comment when they can see what they did" you no? But you are right, if they want to talk or not its up to them. Though you are so welcome =]

I think thatΒ΄s a really good solution for each group..
So I really support this idea....
it's simple and convenient
and as an admin in few groups, I could certainly use this feature.

Oh man, I'm SO glad to see this got a DD! When I saw it a while ago, my FIRST THOUGHT was that it was totally DD material because honestly, this would be an absolute GODSEND for people who admin groups. Here's hoping they implement a nice solution to this in as elegant a way as you've presented. And congrats!
