      When: 10/02/2020
      What: Commission



    Shout opened for commissions in October of 2020 and being a fan of their work I jumped at the chance. I can't find the tweet with the original commission opening; sadly they seem to have mostly nuked both of their Twitter accounts. I have attached acceptance of the commission and proof of payment though.

     

    So I paid, and then... nothing. For months. I sent them an email, left them a shout on FA (which they deleted), tweeted at them, then tweeted at them AGAIN and still received nothing.

     

    Then I get a Twitter DM saying I will get a refund at the end of the month. I would rather have the art, but great! Sounds good.

     

    No update from them since. Radio silence. I even tweeted at their NSFW account recently and still nothing. I am guessing, judging by their TWO lengthy Trello queues and constant nuking of social media accounts and making of new ones that I'm not the only person this has happened to.

    Good lord, it's horrifying that this has happened to you too. Their behavior and work ethic is horrendous, especially with all the false promises they give. Along with the fact that they're always active on their NSFW account. I can definitely confirm a beware against them after commissioning them back in December 2020; they've nuked not long after and ghosted me ever since, despite requesting updates.

    Your beware against them is very well-deserved, and I hope this gets resolved for you.

    Re: being active on their NSFW account... they're actually active on two separate Twitter accounts, which means they probably see my tweets at them and still choose to ignore me. Infuriating.

    I would also note that another person in my situation apparently did get a refund, but only after Shout massively guilt-tripped them about how much the refund hurt them financially. 

    Also thanks to James for the edit to the main post; knew I missed something lol
