Hi Everyone!

I am not epiletic myself but I think it's nice thinking in others now and then. I had some doubts about reporting seizure images and the answers I've got might be useful to some of you.
I will put here my experince.

Hi,

I have 2 questions.

1-Should users use "mature content" tag when uploading seizure images?
I searched the faq and it only tells not to use too much these images in journals.

2-If I finnd a journal with excess of said images, what is the right category to submit to the "Help Desk"?

Your report is best suited for the Policy Inquiry section. By submitting your inquiry to the proper category, you ensure it will be looked at in a timely manner by the appropriate staff. I will transfer this ticket to the Policy Inquiry category and you can expect a response as soon as time allows.

Thank you for contacting deviantART customer service, I will be assisting you with your support ticket today.

We suggest that any flashing image which takes up a decent portion of the average screen be tagged as mature content to avoid casual or accidental viewing by those who may suffer from a photosensitive seizure disorder.

In the event that a member has used their journal or other profile page element to display a rapidly flashing image or mosaic of images you may bring it to the attention of our staff for review by filing a "Policy Inquiry" here in customer service.

So tagging as mature one single stamp is out of question? When you say a "decent portion of the average screen" it starts from what size (I just want to have an idea)?

................................................................

The size of a single avatar or average deviantART "stamp" is generally too small to be of a concern. Our moderation staff typically reviews flashing images starting from approximately 100 x 100 pixels and larger- the larger it is the more of a concern it can be.

I have subjected the profile page in question to analysis using the Photosensitive Epilepsy Analysis Tool designed by the University of Wisconsin. This tool recorded and analyzed the images for several factors related to luminance flash and red flash, both of which are believed to present the most risk for a triggering event.

The testing showed that the profile page was given a "Pass" for red flash and a "Pass:Caution" for luminance flash for isolated areas on the page while most areas of the page passed.
Our staff will typically only intervene in situations involving flashing imagery if analysis of the imagery gives a failing result, representing higher risk, which has not happened here.

That's it!  

Something that might interest: in the top dark green thing where your nickname is go in your settings > Browsing  > Comments >  uncheck the option "Show Avatars" > Save

Another one: Do you hate that festival of thumbnails all at once when browsing? > Browsing  > General Browsing  >  Paging > Click through pages > Save!

Only one more thing...watch out with people who send you llamas if you are more likely to have seizures...once I decided to return a llama...half the profile had those annoying images! I changed my mind of course.
