Update: opened a case on September 2 after not receiving any response from them. I got my refund today after, again, no response to the claim on their behalf. Would exercise caution if this person ever resurfaces as I doubt I'm the only person they've ghosted.

Update: As of August 4, 2021, both of these pages have been deactivated. I will be sending the user an ultimatum via email.

FA: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/gfy/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Jorah_art I commissioned GFY around mid-May 2021 for an animated pixel icon. He gave me one WIP after a few days, but then suddenly ceased all activity on both his FurAffinity and Twitter, as far as I can tell. He claimed in a journal made in May that he "had to go offline" for unspecified reasons, but that he would continue work on commissions regardless. Between May and June, I sent him a note on FA, a DM on Twitter, and an email to the one attached to his PayPal; I have so not gotten a reply to any of these, and as the note is still unread as of July 23, 2021, I doubt the others have been read either.

Yeaaaaahhh that tweet of yours wasn't exactly Innocent... I get it, they're giving you the runaround, but that doesn't justify "screwing him over so hard he never wins another raffle". Like yikes

Update: they got back to me two days ago, and I got my refund today.

Their FA (deactivated): https://www.furaffinity.net/user/xxcoffeeobsessed I commissioned this person around mid-December 2020 for a 3k-word story after they posted an ad. One month later I poked them again only to find out that their page had been deactivated. As of the writing of this post it still is. I have sent them two emails over the course of two weeks using the one attached to their PayPal (which I will not share as I assume it is private information), both of which went without a single reply. I'm currently not aware of any other aliases if they have them.

Thank you both for your replies 🙂 A tad bit disappointed that the honor system allows leeway for minors to get NSFW art (PayPal's age requirement has been circumvented by others before), but I guess I'd rather that than have someone risk getting their identity stolen or worse. Again, thanks!!

Hi everyone! I'm not really going to open commissions anytime soon, but I wanted to get some advice on something I've been thinking about for some time. So it is generally agreed that clients should be 18 years or older in order to commission adult/NSFW artwork, and in some cases artists have this requirement for any type of commission. I commissioned three artists for the former, but something struck me as off; despite their TOSs claiming that they only take 18+ clients for NSFW commissions, neither of them explicitly asked for confirmation of my age. Granted, I had my real age posted on the handle I used to contact them, but without showing any proof I could have very well been lying about my age. I feel like more artists should ask for age in a more explicit way, but how would one go about it? Would you ask for state ID? I feel like asking for one infringes on people's privacy, but how else would you confirm someone's age if not that way? Many thanks!

I'm not sure how it works on FA, but have you tried filing a DMCA takedown? They quite literally stole your art...
