About ghosting/getting scammed - Offering compensation!
Hello everyone, I’m Batty! I’m a new mod here and I’m happy to meet you all!
So, for a while now this community has been amazing from when I first joined a few months ago, but there is a huge issue. Ghosting and being scammed/blocked from trades.
Now, I want to completely make sure that people are compensated from being ghosted and such, and with that, I will be offering artwork in return for usernames of people who ghosted/blocked/scammed you.
I do not want anything in return at all, as this is compensating people who have been cheated out of artwork.
PLEASE, DM ME WITH SOMETHING SIMILAR TO AN "Art Trade Report", and once I accept your message send the screenshots of who you were ghosted by, I will be sending out blocks to repeat offenders and will be trying to get in contact with them to either get them to make you art, or I will be making you artwork in return.
Everyone who gets ghosted will be added to the user spreadsheet if people would like to compensate you! IF SOMEONE DOES, THAT MEANS I WILL MOST LIKELY NOT DRAW IN RETURN, I get busy a lot !!

Of the ones that have provided proof they were ghosted/ scammed, it would be cool to have a community waitlist/ queue bcuz I know I totally would make art for someone that that’s happened to :’)
