I'm really interested about who it is. Can you PM me the name?
Hello!
8/9: New PSA added.
5/14: 2 new PSAs added.
4/8: New PSA posted and additional information on Squidribs added to relevant PSA.
It was suggested that there should perhaps be a general thread for PSAs which is a fine idea. A place that links to other PSAs and keep things organized.
You can link your threads/PSAs/etc, and I'll add them to the posts. :D
Please Note: I can only accept public PSAs. Anon PSAs are too much of a risk to accept, as they can be open to slander.
Things That Count for PSAs!
-Scams
-Illegally chargebacked (you did a commission, but person claims you never did, for instance)
-Being shifty on doing owed things (taking months on an icon for example, lack of contact or updates, etc)
-Tracing and profiting off of it...
-Etc...
Things That Don't Count!
-Someone has better art than you
-Rude behavior
-Subjective issues
-Dog ate your homework
Obviously, this is just the basic frame work. Each case is different. For instance, someone could go around harassing artists for art and customs, or for people to give up their adopts and whatnot, and that could almost certainly be considered for a PSA...
Of course, it would be great if no more PSAs occur, but in the case they do, I support people posting them because they keep the community safe and will link to them in this general thread. owo/
There'll be two posts, one for PSAs and one for resolved cases! ^^
So I kinda need some advice on an issue. Yes I was aware since that adopt is one of the popular closed species (but it's a guest artist) and I actually bothered coz the design itself looks heavily reference of my main OC with the kimono outfit (which is designed earlier around last year July). I once tried DM with one of the mod in their discord server and she knew what I coming yet it replied it's not copy + coz the japanese aesthetic design is like this.. and I was pretty much rage quit on their discord and try to move on until today, my friend DM me with the issue so I decided try to ask advice in here.. I probably need more time on investigate on the issue or just giving up even I keep telling myself to move on. At least please enlighten me what I really should do... Due that outfit design was very precious to me and the designer took alot of time and soul to create a gorgeous outfit! ;-;
I apologize on my english yet I was very salty due that adopt sold in high price. Also if someone want to see the adopt design comparing to mine please let me know so I can DM you to see what's your opinion!
CattyNing Could I see the comparison? I'm afraid that I don't quite understand what you are saying and I think seeing the images would help me understand a bit more.
Hello! I'm a person who usually gets freebies and such, so I check the tags and sometimes I come across people who are selling / trading freebies. A particular person I've found has multiple (at least nine), that they've received recently (one was from four days ago) and even claimed they "really wanted the character," on one. I just wanted to ask if this is okay, or is this something to be concerned about? None were from me, but I just wanted to know how other people would handle this. I personally don't feel it's PSA worthy, but I do believe something should be done in case this person ends up profiting off of other people's generosity.
And, yes, I will PM anyone who asks about who the user is. I don't want this to be public yet, as I have no proof that they've profited off of this or if they've done so in the past. Just ping or message me! Edit: proof is now provided via pm!
blimp may I know as well ;u; (Im about to do a purge as well due to a project of mine becoming commercial-use and well I have a lot of "personal-use" only characters that I want to give away for free)
