Scams: NFTs for Artwork, Murals for Clients, Interested in Commissions, etc
How to spot scams (starter package):
- New account
- Absolutely new, even months old accounts with no to barely any activity,
- Old account but only active in the past few days/weeks/months and only through notes/chats,
- You are being contacted randomly/out of the blue.
- Bad grammar
- Addresses you in generic terms,
- Generic initial message that addresses your content in exemplary generic terms.
- Will attach links to their message which lead to domains NOT ending in
.com,.org,.netand 3rd party suspicious sites - Wants to use a different method for communication.
- It's not always but this is a sign of scamming or spam. They are likely to use different communication platforms like Whatsapp and or Telegram.
- Suspicious long winded payment methods or promise
- Speculative payment incentive (promise to pay when the client pays/when it turns profit/when something clears through)
- Making content for a client and promise to pay for time and effort among other things.
- Asking to pay with PayPal friends and family gift instead of invoice (this is for buyers to be wary of scam artists as a bonus!)
- Payment through methods or systems that are elaborate because of various reasons!
- Payment with cheque and over payment. Read More!
- If you do commissions through a specific place or system, having you use a different system of theirs. This includes if you use PayPal only, or DA Commission widget, to use other methods that you don't use.
- Reflect on your work and what you are being asked to do:
- Excessive payment for content that you are sort of aware isn't worth that or you aren't at that level yet.
- You are a new/beginner artist/new on DA/looking for commissions
- Getting commissions can be hard. But often times scams work because if the other party is manually looking for people desperate enough for commissions or new to this, they will browse around those to message. Whether it is done in an automated method (to make it a spam bot) or not, be cautious.
- Saw your portfolio and asking for hiring you through a suspicious site.

Wait is there legit no categorization or filtering at all or am I doing something wrong?
There's no way someone would be so stupid as to make a website like that, right? Like, if I want to browse literature, there's no "literature" category? You just have to type literature in the search bar and wade through every single thing on the whole site stuffed into one huge intermixed pile, with literally zero way to filter or sort it whatsoever? And if I wanted to browse like fixed verse, or free verse, or romantic or religious, there's NO WAY AT ALL to disambiguate ALL of the literature submissions of ALL KINDS AND TYPES from one another?
I'm thinking I'm missing something major cause I can't possibly believe that's how the site is. Is it??
If so, it's completely unusable. How do you find anything?

How do I view literature on deviant art?
Hello, so I found literature that sounded interesting on deviant art but it only shows the first few sentences than cuts off. They only show the full story for newer posts but older ones are cut off and I’m unsure as to how I view the whole thing. I’d appreciate any help thanks

Scam Report thread
All posts about scams should come here, if you want to ask whether what you are experiencing is a scam please post here. I've been seeing too many posts about scams here, and of course nobody even bothers seeing the wiki, which is this https://reddit.com/r/DeviantArt/wiki/scams/
can the mods sticky this thread it's going to make things more coherent , so any discussion pertaining to scams comes here and posts outside this thread are deleted. The numerous posts have become annoying

How to search images that have no tags?
Over 10 years ago I saw an image (fan art of Marceline from Adventure Time) that now I'm looking for. I don't really know if it was on DeviantArt, but it's possible it was there. Tried to look for it using tags, but I couldn't find it, and the oldest results are from July 2016. I'm sure I saw this image before that. The oldest images in my favorites have no tags, so I pressume tags were introduced around the time of the oldest search results (?).

Is there a reason I can't view the art from an artist's base subscription tier; despite paying for their highest tier?
Basically title. With at least 2 artists (I haven't checked my other subs yet) I'm subscribed to their highest priced tiers, but can not view the artwork posted to any of their lower tier subscriptions. The subscriptions I chose also say that I should have access to everything from the lower tier subscriptions as well. Idk if this is a known bug or something I'm doing wrong, since I haven't been on DA very long

Boost is almost pointless
So I have a CORE and I have access to 2 boosts per month.
Never gave me any real improvement compared to my regular art, even hype badges (100 fragments) are better than this paid option.

Help, help! Is this a new scam or something legitimate?
One: In the next image everyone can see the prompt for the art. Why are they asking if the prompt is up there?
Two: What do they need the prompt for? Isn't that just copying a different user?
Three: What did they put a link to the same page with it?
Please tell me if this is a new scam or something legitimate, because I am finding this sus.
