Something about from Top Users. Um... I would just like to know what anything what refferals are? And idk the meaning. And if you answer what if referals are, then how do ppl do it? Thanks for reading! (for those who just read it x.x)

Referrals are when you get people to join this site.

When you were making your drawingnow.com account, did you see something that said "friends who referred me" or something l iek that and there's a space? That's for whoever told you to join this site to put their name. If you go to xXLadyUchihaXx or sexiisakura4eva's profile you will see under their country and age that I referred them to this site.

Yeah, no music or movies because this is an art-only site.

(Basic overlay of the site)

There are many things to do on Drawing now. We’ll start at the top. The white writing on the blue allows you to check messages (also referred to as e-mails and PMs). To send a message, click a user’s screen name and look to the Contact Panel on the left. There will be a button to message them.

Next there is the Live Chat. This is a chatroom. There is also the instant messenger if you want to only talk to one person as quickly as you can in the chatroom. Bookmark is pretty obvious, as is Logout. The orange Drawing Now Banner… click the blue categories in the orange banner. (Manga, Animals, Cartoons, People, 3D, Fantasy, Nature)You'll be faced with a list of pictures, these are tutorials. Click one and scroll down until you see a coloring page on the right, on the left will be the tutorial and instructions on how to play it.

To put a drawing in your gallery, click the purple/pink button on the orange Drawing Now banner. You will be taken to a new screen that says please upload your ORIGINAL artwork. (Meaning art you yourself have drawn) There you can upload your drawing. Only drawings please, no photographs unless they are of your drawings.

Now to the white on blue text below the banner and add. Home returns you to the front page, Tutorials includes many tutorials and even allows you to make your own, Drawings allows you to look through drawings or make your own. Gallery allows you too look through uploaded art, Members allows you to search through members. Blogs allows you to search through blogs. Forum takes you to our wonderful forum where you can make tutorial suggestions, site suggestions, ask for help on your art, talk about whatever… it’s very open just try to be polite as on everything on this site.


Polls, self explanatory. Groups are like clubs, factions, or guilds. Top Users is self explanatory, as is Arcade. My Account. Ah, that’s your control panel. It is where you design your profile upload blogs, polls, art and bulletins. It is where you change your user picture. Very useful.

Profile. Your profile is your page, it allows users to post comments… it’s a lot like Myspace. When someone leaves you a comment you click their user name to go to their page and leave them a comment. Be nice.

Understand that clicking the Settings tab in your My Account will allow you to design your  your profile. Profile settings is where you put text- including coding for picture viewers, html goodies, playlists and videos. Design My Profile is where you can select background colors, text colors, highlight colors, and border colors.

To add a background click Design My Profile. There will be a blank text box with a browse button next to it. Smile Also on that page you input the colors you want to have on your page- text colors, highlights and backgrounds. To make your background visible type TRANSPARENT in the Background Main box.

To put a video on your profile
, you’re going to need an Embeded Link Code. Say you go to youtube and click a video. There will be two link codes. One says URL, the other says Embeded. Right click and select the entire embedded code, then copy it, and go to Profile Settings. Paste the code in a large text box. And to put up an image, upload it into imageshack.com or photobucket.com and copy the IMG code and paste that into your profile.

To put a playlist on your profile, try going here to make one, then copy the provided code and you're good to go. For a cursor (arrow thingy), my best advice would be to go to

Activity Points and Referals

The blue stars on your profile are like a status symbol. The more points you have, the more the stars change. To earn points you post on other users profiles, the forum, pictures, and blogs. Smile Also, you can earn fast activity points by particpuating in challenges I host from time to time. A like to a page with more info on that is on my profile (near the top).

Referral points are points given when you refer someone to the site, aka, get them to sign up. You have a referral link. When you go to My Account, and scroll down, above the bulletins there will be two links. Copy one of them and give it to your friends and if they sign up you get referral points.

To add someone to your friends list, go to their user page. On the left, underneath their user info, (name, age, location) will be a Contact Panel. Click Add to Friends. That will send them a friend request that they can approve or deny.

How people get banned:
Step 1. Either someone clicked the report member button on someone’s page, or sent me a message reporting someone. In either case, the admin or I will check for proof. This can be given by the victim in the form of a screen shot- you make a screen shot by pressing the Prt Scr button on your keyboard, which will make a copy of a portion of your screen, which you can open using MS paint or other graphic editing programs such a photoshop, paint shop pro, or painter. You upload the image to photobucket.com or imageshack.org and send it to me.


Step 2.
If we find proof or are sent proof we will give the reported user a warning. Why? Because some people just make mistakes, are dim towards the site’s etiquette standards, or simply need the warning in order to behave in a way that allows this site to remain open to all ages. Anyway, we give the warning UNLESS the user has posted pornographic images, is making a member feel extremely unsafe- including asking that member for sex, a photo, a full name, a phone number, or an address-, has threatened to kill someone, or is attacking someone based on race, religion, gender preference, or age.

Any and all members doing such things will have their accounts deleted permanently.

Step 3.
If the reported user has been issued a warning and continues to break rules then they will be banned. If they were just using foul language then the banning may be short for a first offense. If they continue their behavior the banning period won’t get longer… they’ll simply lose their accounts forever. The end. No pleas from friends and family, no rallies against the staff member who banned that person.

In fact, harassing staff members is just a good way to get that person in even MORE trouble. Why invite a member back when they’ve encouraged their friends to disrespect a staff member? The staff is here to make this site as great as we can, while keeping it as safe as we can. It’s hard work to moderate this site and even harder work to admin it, and thus we deserve appreciation. If you don’t like us or our rules, then kindly leave the site we work so hard to maintain.

We’re not a corporation. So before you start yelling “WHY WAS MY FRIEND BANNED FOR NO REASON” and calling names and saying you want staff members to die or that they are scary, think about the fact that we are just people like you. And even consider what you would do if a member who had always followed the rules and was praised as such a kind person was suddenly messaging you saying their mom or dad or legal guardian was not going to allow them to be on the site any more.

When you ask why, you get to hear their guardian yell at you about the language on the site, or the bullying, the death threats, the constant chatter about suicide that makes it sooo common it’s like you’re insane not to kill yourself when you miss the bus on a rainy day and have to walk. So that member who has done absolutely nothing wrong has to leave. What would you do? What would you do if you got messages like that EVERY DAY?

Accept everyone for their race, beliefs, gender, and age. If you have time to judge others, you're not looking closely enough at yourself.
