Before posting, please consider taking a look through our existing posts to get a better idea of how a post should look.

LJ-cut FAQ for long posts

WHO: List the aliases or business name of the person (Artist or Customer) this post is regarding. Censor all legal names, emails, paypal emails, addresses, or phone numbers.

WHERE: URL where they base their business out of. In case your beware is regarding something that occurred at an event (example: a con), you may list that too.

WHAT: Was it traditional art, digital art, sculpture, fursuit, jewelry, etc.?

WHEN: A rough time line of the situation from initial conversation, to 1st payment (or agreement of trade) to signs of trouble.

EXPLAIN: Tell your side here. What happened, what went wrong, where did it go wrong, have you attempted to fix the issue(s), ask for updates, refunds/legal warnings, etc. Post any additional screencaps here that correspond with your explanation. Be as clear, concise, and to the point (no additional drama, try not to ramble, no third parties/proxy writing) as possible.

PROOF: Feel free to place your screencaptures here, including albums, but please note the above about including them alongside claims in the EXPLAIN section, so as to make it easier to follow. Make sure you censor out unrelated third parties in your caps!

Current Mood: accomplished

8/23/2011 EDIT: To be fair and considerate to all who use this comm; if you intend to post to Artists_Beware, please be prepared to come in and edit your entry after approval, in the event there is need of an LJ-Cut, clarification or more. Also to answer any questions and requests the community at large may have for you.

Happy March everyone!

To start the month off, aside from the soon to come Positive Reviews post, here is the final completed reports template for the community, modified to wrap best around our ideas and your suggestions.

So from today forward, the mods strongly encourage you to follow this template when submitting a beware for approval.

This is the Artist's Beware Situation Report template. This template is here to assist you in getting your beware written out in a clear and fluid manner, get it approved in a much speedier fashion, and get your answers and advice to you faster than before! But before we begin, please take note of the following:

- Due to the potential lengthy nature of these forms/posts, please be prepared to insert an 'LJ-cut' into your post if you will be providing more than 3 links and/or the overall word count is over 1000.

( HOW TO INSERT A CUT )

- Screencaps (images taken of what is on your screen), are strongly suggested to be included into your post (they will be addressed in the template for the best place to include them). They are a big plus to your case, and can often answer any questions a community member might have for you.

- In a case of a multi-item beware regarding a single artist, please clearly list each article and their issues separately within each category of the post.

- This form is allowed to be changed/modified to fit your individual situation (i.e: trades rather than commissions). So if the field does not apply, you need not fill it out. That said, this template is for bewares, questions or advice posts need not follow this pattern.

Disclaimer: Even with use of the template, approval is still at the sole discretion of the moderators of
