For those who may be confused as to what's going on, this artist posts a lot of YCHs. They've lost the ones OP has originally bid on, and wanted OP to pick new ones to have done.

Howdy. It wouldn't be a beware, no. No exchange of money/ services, no beware. Whether or not it can be a caution post will be reviewed on a case by case basis. Though we are unlikely to accept "this person was a bit rude to me". It has to be bad. If you feel it is something we should look at we will be happy to review. Just please bear in mind that we reserve the right to reject a post.

Locking this as it's a rather old post, and let's not necro post. I also want it to be known Artists Beware's official policy will continue to follow Boozy's article. We won't accept anything from individuals who are attempting to interpret law on their own.

Need advice on a character being sold twice.
Eden replied to ladyfenrir's topic in Advice for Commissioners
Howdy. This isn't something the advice forum can answer you. Only a queue mod can when a post is in front of them. However generally speaking when personal relationships are muddied like this we are very hesitant to accept a post. To a small extent because we have to weigh in that someone may be doing this as a jilted ex trying to spite their partner. And we don't want to be used in that manner. But mostly because proof is going to be difficult to supply. Not only because we don't allow mentions of personal issues, but also because relationships there aren't character custody hearings. The onus of proof that the character was 100% yours when you broke up is going to be on you. Not "implied" because as you said, it was "co-owned". Explicitly said to be yours. Whatever money you spent is irrelevant. If I divorced my husband tomorrow I wouldn't be able to get a refund on the couples art we got while together. We will be happy to look at whatever you send us if you feel we should see it. I'm going to close your thread because there's nothing the community at large can answer -

It's essentially like a temp ban. I won't comment on what that means about them as a business as facebook can post block for a variety of reasons. Not all of them are legitimate.

We were discussing this post in the mod chat and were all dismayed that this seller seems to think it's on you to ask about allergens. It's the responsibility of the seller to do so. Honestly, I hope you get a favorable resolution. Someone like me would be SOL, because the mere presence of smoke smell aggravates my allergies.

As notated in the automod post: bewares are not deleted. To delete one after resolution would defeat the purpose of the archive. As such, the ability to edit or delete is removed from everyone but moderation staff. Am I reading this correctly that she's holding resolution hostage for deletion? Or was this extra, unpaid work? Edit: oh never mind. Serves me right for skimming. I'll mark your post as resolved.

Teahound/ Shroomyeen/ Lildogmeat, unfortunately, has a long history of poor delivery of commissions. I hope he actually does right by you and delivers.

Escalate to a claim as soon as you can.

I hope you get your money back. Though the partner is right: they aren't their partner's keeper. My husband knows I do comms, but he wouldn't know anything either about what I take on or what projects I'm doing long term. People harassing Cou's partner aren't helping, and he's likely as powerless as everyone else is.

Just for clarity Boozy is a lawyer. If anyone wants to refute his claims we ask that they state their credentials. We are always looking to improve our understanding of the legalities.

The auction details state "2 char any gender"

This is weird as heck. If it were a mistake, I could understand. But they don't even say they're sorry, and seem to defend the choice? Why even make more work for yourself? It just strikes too close to "it'd be better if this was gay" which I used to get all the time if I made art of my spouse and me. I'd be just as upset as you are, and wouldn't grovel to have a bastardized version of my character not posted online. Not sure why you would even want it with you, though. Anyway, a caution well warranted. I wouldn't touch anyone who changes genitalia configurations without my permission with a 10 ft pole. Fingers crossed that they don't put it on Patreon or anything.

As a heads up we approved Luna's comment because they supplied proof of it being the same person privately.

Currently I am still responding to messages, but will take a little longer than usual to handle beware issues. Please don't send multiple messages.
I'm currently held up with irl commitment.

Adoptables are something that Boozy Badger has covered before. You can see the article here. I asked him personally how reclaiming and refunds work, and his response for that is here. The tl;dr is that yes, you can take back the adopts any time you want. Adoptables are a license to use a design. Do you legally have to give a refund? No. However, what is legal and what is considered moral are two different things. The adoptable market depends on trust, and an artist who recalls adoptables without a refund sours the trust. Here we also consider it a bewarable offense.

Hello OP! If Zapp still doesn't deliver to you in another month please leave a comment or send a message to one of us and we'll upgrade this to a beware. Edit: My mods pointed out they're active on Twitter, so this has been upgraded.

This would be considered an "abandoned" commission. If you don't have how these are handled in your ToS, now is time to add it. Since you were blocked everywhere it can be handled in two ways: You issue a full refund and resell the sketch as a YCH. This can prevent further bad feelings on their part. You issue a partial refund for what you haven't finished yet, stating they've made the commission impossible to finish. If it were me I'd do option one just to avoid the hassle of chargebacks in the future and any issues of bad feelings.
