While there many be nothing wrong with tracing for learning and studying as long as your not posting as your own. But this is really often the worst way to go tracing others artwork for a buck which will always eventually end badly for an artist doing business. And eventually will lead to some really serious issues in the future.

I think it's fine to post as your own as long as you're open and honest about the tracing, and have the permission of the original artist to do so. I think it also helps if an artist highlights why the traced the work, as that could lead to people giving them information or resources that would help them improve their artistic skills so they'd no longer need to trace other's artwork in that area.

oh woah was following this guy and interested but that attitude is what really does it for me. id hate to pay someone and have them act that way toward me. im sorry that you had to deal with this and thank you for the warning!

Yeah echoing this. I've un-followed him now. While life can be messy and throw us all a curve ball, that's no excuse to take such a tone with people. After all we aren't the ones making the exchange difficult. Not to mention that in the OP's case, he showed no signs of actually fulfilling his side of the contractual agreement. Beware well warranted @Digitalpotato.

You would be correct. We were under the assumption that users could still see their hidden comments like on the old site, but upon further testing the "mod note" option is simply for us for personal notes.

We will have to pm users manually for rejected comments.

Noted. I decided to let zrcalo know through their Twitter account, though I'd suggest making sure they get sent an email about it, since they were the one that lead to the discovery of this and them essentially paying the sort of "price" for this discovery. 

Good luck with getting to grips with this site in the future, Celestina. it's always hard learning something new like this. And keep up the good work. ?

I have recieved zero notifications of this incident about my comment.

I will decline from further interaction with this website.

Just guessing but that might be due to an error with the site's notification system, not working as it should. Artist Beware might be an old group but this site is entirely new. Error's and bugs appear on sites like this naturally.

I'd suggest going to your Messages by clicking the envelope icon at the top, and print screening that there are no notifications in their and sending the image to a member of staff alerting them to it.
