Secret-Teller is reopening!
First and foremost, the abuse that occurred did not, as far as we know, affect any DAS secrets. There was only one comment made on the same day as the abuse, and it appears to be legitimate.
However, due to said abuse, the way Secret-Teller works is going to change somewhat. The password will no longer be public. To access the password, email DAS.SecretTeller[AT]yahoo[DOT]com and request it. The password will be changed on the first of each month, and you will need to email again to receive it.
By emailing and requesting the password, you agree to abide by the rules of Secret-Teller (enumerated below), and you also agree not to share the password with anyone else, even if they say they've already been given the password.
We genuinely hope that this will prevent further abuse. Let's be very clear: If abuse happens again, Secret-Teller will be shut down permanently and blocked from DAS' page.

Rules:
This account is only to be used to respond to comments on DeviantArtSecret secrets.
The person using Secret-Teller is only to comment on their own secrets.
DAS' rules still apply. Do not flame or insult, under any circumstances whatsoever. There's no faster way to get this account closed.
Do not create or submit anything to this account, including journals, polls, deviations, etc. This includes adding and removing favourites. That is done only by the account admins.
Do not change or delete any of the profile information or anything that is already set on the account. This account is only to be used to reply to your secrets anonymously.
If you have any questions at all, email DAS.SecretTeller@yahoo.com. If you have any problems with a secret or comments on your secret, contact DeviantArtSecret. The admins running the two accounts are entirely different, so a complaint lodged here will not be read by DAS staff.
Secret-Teller's online status will be public, so pay attention! If the status shows as 'online', don't log in! Someone else is already using the account, and logging in will automatically log that person out.
Please don't delete anything in the inbox that is not yours (e.g., replies to your ST comments). This includes notes, others' comments, watches and dA site-wide notices. (Note: Comments will be deleted after 30 days.)
Please don't read any notes, as they can't be marked 'unread' again and the account admins won't realise they're there.
Be quick when you're logged in, so there isn't a long line of people waiting. Write the comment you plan to make beforehand. Also, be sure to log out when you're finished!
Remember, if you break deviantART's rules, the creator of this account as well as DAS itself may be banned in addition to Secret-Teller itself. In essence, we are putting ourselves at risk to give all of you an opportunity.
Above all, please be responsible and use your common sense!

Remember that this account is here for you, all of DAS' secret tellers, to be able to anonymously clarify your secrets or to thank someone who's comment really helped you.
Good commenting!

DAS Comments Closed
So... DAS has closed comments on new secrets.
In good news, that doesn't mean that Secret-Teller (https://www.deviantart.com/secret-teller) is obsolete! There are still plenty of old secrets with open comments that folks may wish to respond to. Nothing here is going to change.
This too, shall pass. :)
We're Still Here!
Hello! :wave:
THANK YOU to all you lovely Secret Tellers for using this account responsibly! :heart: This account was made for you, to respond to your secrets in anonymity and to do so with the official recognition of DeviantArtSecret (https://www.deviantart.com/deviantartsecret).
We've been seeing several accounts made by people to serve a similar function but without DAS' approval, so we figured it's time for a new journal to remind all of you watchers that we're still here and still fully functioning. The official ST email is checked at least daily and responses provided within 48 hours.
As ever, please double check the rules of using this account.
Thank you again, and happ
Please note!
Another reminder for those of you who did not completely understand the rules of using Secret-Teller (https://www.deviantart.com/secret-teller).
Please, do not ever read notes. It has recently come to the account admin's attention that several have been read by non-admins, thereby removing the notification from the account inbox. Replies have been delayed as a result.
In addition, if you send a note to Secret-Teller (https://www.deviantart.com/secret-teller), don't specify your secret in any way, unless you want anyone who has the password to be able to discover that information.
On the upside, Secret-Teller (https://www.deviantart.com/secret-teller) has now been reopened for over six months, with no (serious, see above) abusive activity reported! :w0
Just a[n edited] reminder
Yes, this was an April Fool's journal. :giggle: Gotcha!
However, the second part of this journal is definitely valid, so please be sure to read and understand it!

Please note:
If you haven't yet read ☃DeviantArtSecret's newest journal, please do so now!
As a result of this unfortunate turn of events, ~Secret-Teller is now defunct. It will remain open for comments for another month, and will then be shut down.

Also, if you've ever used Secret-Teller (https://www.deviantart.com/secret-teller), please remember to check back and see if someone has responded to your comment, and to delete or reply to it. There are comments in the message center that have been dele
