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:
:bulletpurple: This account is only to be used to respond to comments on DeviantArtSecret secrets.
:bulletpurple: The person using Secret-Teller is only to comment on their own secrets.
:bulletpurple: DAS' rules still apply. Do not flame or insult, under any circumstances whatsoever. There's no faster way to get this account closed.
:bulletpurple: 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.
:bulletpurple: 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.
:bulletpurple: 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.
:bulletpurple: 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.
:bulletpurple: 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.)
:bulletpurple: Please don't read any notes, as they can't be marked 'unread' again and the account admins won't realise they're there.
:bulletpurple: 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!
:bulletpurple: 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.
:bulletpurple: 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!
