I didn't receive any new soliciting messages in a while, but I need to make a journal in order give advice to my fellow commissioners/art appreciators out there that may potentially get solicited by random strangers.
A) If you receive a PM on FA, DA, Inkbunny, Weasyl, Newgrounds, etc. from a random stranger (that you don't know very well) asking you, unprovoked, to commission them...
B) If a random stranger sends you a friend request on Discord or Telegram and you accept it, only for them to solicit you to commission them...
or C) If the stranger leaves a comment on your front page, submission or journal soliciting you to commission them...
Just simply and politely tell them "no", calmly explain how rude/annoying it is for them to solicit people, and block them. Especially if they have badly traced art and AI slop in their galleries.
This sort of thing has been a trend for these scammers to solicit popular commissioners (including me), and most of the soliciting resulted in a polite rejection and a permanent block.
I hope you guys find this journal helpful! :D
