"Artists BEWARE!"
A Community to Warn Others of Good, Bad, and Ugly Commissioners
Name:Commissioner and Theft Warning Community
Location:United States
About:Here is a place for artists of any kind, be it furry, fantasy, anime, whatever, that have recieved harassment, threats and just plain disrespect from their commissioner or requestees. You can also post positive remarks about commissioners. (We encourage positive feedback!) Share stories, vent, and warn others of terrible commissioners. The purpose of this community is to help decrease the stress and release inner frustration, if any, from poor art commissions and requests. This community also accepts reports of art theft. If you find art theft, it will be GREATLY encouraged to post the link and the artists' stolen works.

However, there are some policies to this community:

1. NO FLAMES. PERIOD. We understand that this person (or persons) have pissed you off, but please, try to act mature. If someone else in the community offends you, contact the moderator.

2. Keep the advertisments to a minimum. We know you need the money, well so do we. If you absolutely have to offer a commission, include it with a post.

3. If your post is going to have explicit swearing, LJ Cut the entry. Yeah, I may be a hypocrite saying this, but some may not want to scroll through and see "F**KING F**KER DOESN'T F**KING PAY THE F**KING C**T!!!!!11" in large, bold letters.

4. If you would like to post the commissioned image, LJ Cut it. If it is a graphic sexual or violent image, please state a warning!

5. Whatever happens in the community, stays within the community. Do NOT go to the offender's LJ or art site account (DeviantArt, FA, etc.) and harass them, or contact them any other way that does not regard you.

6. No screening of comments. EVER. This is a community for open discussion. You don't get open discussion if you screen anyone who disagrees with you.

If you notice anyone screening comments, please email one of the moderators. Our addresses are listed below. Not only can we unscreen comments, but we intend to use a three-strikes system to enforce this:

     1st strike: You receive a polite reminder of this rule.
     2nd strike: You will receive a Stern Warning and two-week ban from the community.
     3rd strike: You willl be permanently banned from the community.

There are no exceptions; if you see a troll or something incredibly offensive, email the mods. We will determine if the comment is truly trolling and can screen it ourselves.


If any of these policies are broken, offender's post will be deleted, they may be suspended, or kicked out from the community.

Although this community allows people to defend themselves if they are accused of being a bad artist or commissioner, we ask that you not post about yourself unless you have some extreme circumstance that may call for it - like losing all of your customers' contact info in a computer crash, sudden and/or long-term hospitalization, etc. If you are slow with commissions in general, slow with mailing, or have any other relatively common issues when it comes to dealing artwork, it is recommended that you provide this information to your customers at the time they commission you for work, rather than leaving it here where they may not see it.

When in doubt, feel free to post, but please do not feel offended if the mods reject it.

Other than that, have fun!
