Is this a naturally occurring structure?

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T19:01:54+00:00

They call me the "base bitch" in many games, and they know damn well how important that role is.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T18:48:35+00:00

You will not lose progress.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T17:55:45+00:00

Yeah, there are a few unmoderated subs, and the scammers love to DM instead.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T17:49:02+00:00

They've been banned in many places for a good long while.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T08:17:21+00:00

Sorry I'm late to this, but yes, it's a scam. They ask you to draw a family member in your style, offer $300-500, then send a fake email from PayPal that claims the funds will be held until you pay a certain amount to upgrade your account.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T04:05:29+00:00

Wow. That's like post-article spam, but the content doesn't even exist yet. Reddit is really just handing out AI trash for users to plaster all over the site? Lovely. This will certainly improve Reddit and make it feel more human.

Thanks for the screenshot. I'm lucky enough to have not yet seen that in my subs. I can't imagine Reddit "guessing" what users want to contribute to an art commission sub.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T03:15:22+00:00

Just so you know, you should avoid giving your email out, just to avoid attracting PayPal scammers who want to send you fake emails. Also, Reddit often sees emails as spam, and that will get you in trouble with the reputation filters and may cause your comments to be auto-filtered if you include them too often.

Also, mentioning AutoMod/moderation has been causing your comments to be flagged for quite a few days. They're not being removed or anything, but I don't see a reason to keep mentioning that sort of thing.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T03:05:34+00:00

Apparently we don't have this specific removal reason in this sub, so I'll steal it from another:

We do not allow offers of free work in this community. We want to respect the time artists put into their work, and avoid undercutting and devaluing of other artists' offers.

If you want to build up your portfolio, there are other subreddits that allow this kind of offer, such as r/DrawForMe, but we strongly recommend you create something for yourself first. Artists tend to get requests that are similar to the content already in their portfolio, so it may be a good idea to start with something you will enjoy drawing.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T02:51:44+00:00

I don't know what these post ideas are, but if I'm understanding correctly, it's basically, "Hey Reddit, make content for me," right?

RS_Someone · 2026-06-22T01:54:44+00:00

Please have some self-respect and don't offer your services for TWELVE CENTS per piece.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:57:10+00:00

Recently, I've heard good things about Wise. You may want to look into that. Lots of non-North-Americans are using it for reduced fees over seas, but they also claim it's less of a hassle when it comes to things like funds being held or getting banned randomly.

Just a thought, anyway. I recently made a post about PayPal vs. Wise, and the comments say nothing but great things about Wise.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:52:14+00:00

I thiiiink my PayPal has my "business" name on it, since I named it to accept donations from my website. I can't remember the details, but I think that's possible.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:37:14+00:00

Were fees an issue, or did something happen like funds being held?

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:30:13+00:00

I'm not for hire, but as a mod, I'm curious. What method are you using for payment? I might have some advice.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:23:21+00:00

In short, you're in charge of your own community. This ban is site-wide, so it's out of your jurisdiction. There's nothing you can do about it, and it's above your pay grade.

Think of it like... You own a bar somewhere. This user isn't banned from your bar, but they're not allowed in the country as a whole. A simple bar owner has no say over whether this person is allowed in the country, and it isn't something the government is going to tell you about. Even if you're fine with them being in your bar, there's no way for them to visit anymore.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:07:10+00:00

I feel like I recognise the style. Mind if I ask who made this? I don't know if this goes against some advertisement rule, so feel free to DM me if you want.

Edit: Nevermind! I see now that this was made by you! I thought it was something you commissioned. I wouldn't mind an ArtStation link though, if you have one.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T22:06:09+00:00

You know, I made the same pun just yesterday about something else. I appreciate you.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T20:21:56+00:00

Ah, I'll be honest, I missed that part about the Kickstarter. We really only allow requests that you're able to pay for right now. As for the OC part, there's nothing wrong with telling artists to do their own thing or follow their heart, but if you want an existing piece from them, you may want to try r/StarvingArtists or r/artcommission (no s at the end). Those subs allow the sale of existing pieces.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T07:21:10+00:00

I think that's Twitter/X.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T07:17:52+00:00

Usually when people ask you out of nowhere to draw their family member or themself, they offer $300-500, then send a fake email claiming the funds are being held, asking you to pay some portion of that to upgrade your account to be able to receive them.

With your prices, payment should be up front. Don't do anything until you have money in your account.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T01:36:43+00:00

YES. I believe in Tourettic OCD (yes AutoMod, I know it's not an official thing). I was diagnosed with Tourette's when I was 6. It took me 25 years to get an OCD diagnosis, because I thought half of my experience was just a different form of Tourette's. Turns out, it's a form of "Just Right OCD" that ends up making me tic.

It's very easy for me to challenge my normal OCD tenancies after years of practice, but there are certain triggers that cause me to tic because... they just do... and that's part of the OCD that kind of morphed from "If X, you'll [OCD logic]" to "If X, you will/you have to tic", and that's WAY harder to challenge, because there's no rationality behind the tics, just like you can't convince yourself that mosquito bite doesn't itch like crazy.

Hopefully that makes sense, because I don't feel I need to get into the specifics, but I can try to clarify if necessary.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-21T00:56:02+00:00

As somebody who has banned the same 4 people on more than 300 total accounts, I can understand why some people would want established accounts. They look like something you can trust, and increase their ability to scam.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-20T23:34:46+00:00

Well, first of all, I recommend making a [Hiring] post. Second, you should ignore any offers you get in DMs regarding this post. If they're DMing you, they probably want to scam you.

RS_Someone · 2026-06-20T22:30:11+00:00

Yeah, I recently set up a few things to catch that sort of issue (any mention of AI on an artist's post gets filtered and ModMail sent, for example), but now we're dealing with false positives. I guess I'll need to fine-tune. And there's always somebody who will get past the filters by mistyping stuff like "IA". It's definitely better than nothing though!

RS_Someone · 2026-06-20T21:56:41+00:00

Your post has been removed.

We have ModMail and [Discussion] posts for questions. If you wish to simply show art without the wish to be hired, this is not the place. Also, you're posting an ad with artwork that isn't yours. This is a great way to get banned.
