:bulletred: Frequently Asked Questions :bulletred:



:bulletred: Can I join?
No need to ask, yo~! Just click the "Join Group" button around the top of the group's page, just below its basic info! :dummy:
If you're on mobile, simply go to the "Switch to Desktop Site" option and you should see the "Join Group" button like you would on a computer. :nod:

:bulletred: What can I do in this group?
Anything you want, really, for as long as it's not against the rules! :aww:
You can submit your work, admire everyone else's work, or just chat up with some other member. Bringing in other members for this group is highly appreciated~! :squee:

:bulletred: What can I submit?
Any fanart/fanfic/anything related to Super Mario, though we also accept any other thing Nintendo-related. Please refer to this guide for more information.

:bulletred: Okay, so I have something I wanna submit to this group. Which folder should it go to...?
Please refer to this article on gallery folders for more information. Be sure to read it thoroughly; we don't want any wrong submissions to improper folders! :noes:

:bulletred: Can I invite more members to this group?
Sure thing~! More members are always welcome~! :aww:

:bulletred: Can my group affiliate with yours?
Of course! Glad to have you guys~! :D

:bulletred: Can I become an admin of this group?
Sorry, but I prefer to provide admin positions to those I can really trust. :c
Don't get me wrong; I'm glad you're willing to help, but I have encountered far too many instances of groups getting "hacked" in and all its contents erased (and even its members kicked out) simply because a jerk had been invited in, so I just need to be careful. I hope you understand. :saddummy:
Same thing goes with inviting people into an admin position; you can't unless I approve of it. :no:

:bulletred: What is the purpose behind the creation of this group?
If you read my blog entry in the sister group (which is :iconmarioandfriends: ), you'll know that the idea for the creation of this group began mainly due to the lack of ability the admins have to kick out/ban troublesome members, and the inactivity of its Founder to provide that ability.
To make it short, let's just say since the Founder of the other group is pretty much gone in their account, the other admins can't do a darn thing about the troublesome members coming and going. :shakefist:
So basically, this group started to provide better administration and take action for any future instances of art thieves and rude/abusive members. :nod:

:bulletred: Why was my submission declined?!
Whoa, calm down; it may be that you submitted it to the wrong folder. Like as stated, we usually provide a reason upon the decline as well as a suggestion as to what folder should your work go to. After that, you may resubmit it to the correct folder.
(Keep in mind, however, that repeated offenses will lead to the work being declined on the spot with no explanation; it's on you to read the guidelines on which should or shouldn't be submitted. If we just kept telling you where to submit you works, then that would just defeat the purpose of having written those submission guidelines. Please actually read them.)

:bulletred: Okay, so it wasn't declined, but it's taken so long and the log expired!
We're very sorry about that; it may be because 1.) it was a misclick on the part of the admin and one of them was accidentally clicked out (in this case, you may resubmit it), or 2.) some of the admins in charge haven't been able to log in due to life, school, etc. (please bear with us in this case; we'll try our best to get around it! :thanks: )

Update: In light of dA Eclipse and how Groups are basically shafted into afterthoughts in this lackluster interface, it's gotten even harder to be able to keep track of submissions, as you're no longer personally notified of any incoming submissions in Groups you admin, meaning you'd have to manually check Group logs to see incoming submissions, and not everyone is able to remember that. We do try our best to be as consistent as possible though, but please know there can and will be slip-ups every now and then. ^^;

**More questions will be added in the future upon the frequency of it being asked**
