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! ^^
EDIT: Post was taken down, thanks to anyone who helped!
Could anyone with an existing Amino account help report/message the buyers of this adopt that it was stolen? I'm the original buyer and I never resold it. I'm also not comfortable with this app's verification methods nor its general reputation for lack of security, so I don't want it on my phone.

PM me for further discussion on this, thanks. I'll work on the PSA soon.
I honestly didn't expect my situation to draw this much attention, but it makes sense people want to be informed with how common commission scams are nowadays ^^
I believe I've reached out to everyone who's asked so far, but for anyone else who may want to know please PM me rather than pinging here!!
Beefy That's such a tough situation. It's not impossible that they forgot to update a profile, I know I'm terrible at changing the ages on my social media accounts... I have one that says I'm 25 when I've been 27 for a while now fbldksf but I feel like if they hadn't originally corrected you and if its a social media account the person uses at least semi-frequently that it probably would have been accurate the first time you looked. I doubt there is any way that you could prove, or get the mods to prove their age if they registered with a fake birthdate (you could still try though!) but what I'd personally recommend is blocking the user. I'd probably go as far as to make a personal PSA on my bulletin warning others to be cautious. A minor that is tricking people into discussing or distributing nsfw materials to them is reeeeaaally dangerous and uncomfortable.
