This is very important, even critical feature, and I'm really shocked it is not there already. Should have been among the first features to implement.

While I +1 this, for me my real problem is not people seeing my activity, but my activity spamming my feed instead of things that are actually important, such as status updates and uploads.

Also, I don't want to see 600 messages from my follows about who they followed and what they promoted, I want to see their status updates and uploads.

I can only hope this is why there was as much as 600 downvotes on that ticket. The idea of having so many pro-child-porn people in the community would make me feel pretty uncomfortable being in this community.

As for DRM, if something has it, the chances I want to buy it will drop like a stone. I still may bu it, but I would rather pay twice as much for an alternative that is DRM free. Reason is simple: Imagine you buy a new TV, and they send a security guard along with it who sits next to your TV 24/7 and hits you with a stick if you try to do anything with your TV that he doesn't like - that's what DRM is like.

That's what dA does: By default Download gives you the full res directly, but you can specify a downloadable file instead, that can be anything. That's how they put stuff like skins, photoshop brushes, etc.

Even on a site that does every single thing possible to stop you from downloading, it is very easy to work around that.

And honestly, people who would rather steal your stuff would never buy it anyway, so you are not losing any money. On the other hand, lot of people appreciate free stuff so much that they are much more willing to donate $20 for something free than buy the same stuff for $10. Free is actually a working business model, and it works well, given your content is good.

Everyone: If you want this to get admin attention, please do not forget to vote!

Funny that while Markdown claims to be for writing, it is the writers here that find it the most unusable for their needs.

Exactly! And journals are used for things like info pages, TOS, detailed "About me", anything lenghty you do not want to put directly on your profile.

That's a great idea! But it does not solve what journals are needed for. I'm not going to post my several pages long TOS as a status update and pin it to the top..........
