Due to thieves making accounts, selling the stolen adopts and leaving after they have the points.
So from now on you have to have been on deviantart for a certain amount of time before being accepted, it is set at 3 months.
for those who are already part of the group and have been on for under 3 months, you don't need to worry.
On another note, incase you weren't all aware. before I accept anyone, I go to their accounts and make sure the adopts aren't stolen
Anyway, have a good day
*Edit* I decided to make a slight exception to the three month joining rule. If you are have a new adopts account, but have a main account then you may join the group. However this main account has to have been around for 3+ months.
Example:
haunt-adopts.deviantart.com/ is a new member of our group, who joined a week ago, I happen to know the main accounts of the people who run it as one is me and the other is a friend.
