DO NOT commission Timitei on FA [udated]

This is an update of this:

She came back to FA about two weeks ago, claiming she had NO POSSIBLE way to get internet access for the past 5 months [even though its only been 4 months since her last submission] and she had been giving people shouts and favs that I saw throughout this whole time, so I honestly don't believe it. And even so, she could have found a way to get up with her PAYING customers.

Well, she FINALLY finished it, after I talked to her a few times asking her what was going on.

I basically commented on one of her submissions to get her attention to finish it, it was personal art which she had been posting ONLY personal art in the past two weeks since she came back. So I commented on her newest submission and asked why was she drawing personal art instead of working on commissions. She proceeded to be very rude to me and was coming up with excuses. I told her it was her JOB to do what she was paid for and if she spent all the time that she had been doing personal art[I counted about 6 pieces since shes been back] then she could have gotten it done by now.
The submission we talked on is still there but she has hidden all of our comments and I was not able to get a screencap before so but here it is: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7178207



Well she posted the submission of my commission a little bit later..

Submission: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/7178585/
Screenshot in case she deletes it or changes the tags: http://oi43.tinypic.com/2czyrlu.jpg

She even wrote in the TAGS of the submission that it was rushed [in a very rude way]
I pretty much don't even want to use it now, she has left a HORRIBLE taste in my mouth and it makes me extremely weary to ever commission anyone I don't know again.

This artist is extremely unprofessional and I would NOT recommend commissioning them.

What exactly is the significance of "agreeing" to something that you have no say in? It is pretty clear that the client had no choice or say either way, and there isn't any evidence that the piece was even started for it to be "redone".

Well it means that the customer may have supported the decision. Besides, aside from one word we don't know how much say they had.

Let one of them show proof! That's all it takes to know for sure and it's the only thing I'm suggesting. Is that really worth arguing with me over?

If their only discussion was on the image the OP linked above, I think the artist has hidden any proof that might have existed. The previous post the OP made seems to imply Timitei didn't respond to notes requesting a refund.

Can people "unhide" comments on their own page FA, or is that something only admins can do?

Edit: Ugh, typos

[ocelotish]

Yes, but it sounds like this took place about two weeks ago, not on the image in question.

I'm not arguing with you over the issue of proof, I just find it ridiculous that you seem to think it's unreasonable for a client to get impatient after waiting for over 5 months, with little to no contact for the entire time and no evidence that their art was even started.

Don't put words in my mouth!

What I said was: "Five months is quite a long time, and I completely understand the frustration there, but if the OP did readily agree to an entirely new sheet 2 weeks ago, then the commenting on the submissions seems a little bit more out of line."

That in no way even suggests that five months is an acceptable waiting time!
