Hi, this is my first journal in many years on FA. And I could talk about better things than the new update that added shinies as a tip to artist to use for their fans to give them something small. A nice thought but reading the update journal a set of comments mentioned something I think we should know about when this update was implemented about shinies.

Just a fair warning, your user name for FA is seen on when such a transaction is made.

In the Order Details field ON paypal, the field will read "Transaction for <FAUsernamehere> - Fur Affinity." If they wanted to investigate you, a charitable act from someone else has effectively exposed your FA name to Paypal.

Now according to what I have heard about Paypal some artist have been permanently banned for apparently being furries or being on FA at all. That is what I have heard on third hand so it might be true about somehing that happened in the past. But, big but, maybe that isn't the case anymore. Just be casrefull when you use shinies!
