These are confirmed information !๐Ÿ—‘โœจ

Here is why and how this is the best way to deal with art thieves and trolls on @Artfol! ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘…๐Ÿ‘๏ธ

๐Ÿšฉ First and primarily, it is best not to respond to their hateful words because your reaction gives them even more reason to continue (or to make even more accounts). So, if you block and report them right away, you will save yourself a lot of energy!

๐Ÿšฉ For your information, reporting multiple times from one account will not make a difference - the Artfol system will automatically count your reports as one.
The more different accounts report an user the higher the case will be ranked in the system and the sooner they will investigate in this case! (So yeah "mass" report will increase the priority!)

๐Ÿšฉ Furthermore, please use the various reporting methods of the Artfol Report System, such as:

- To report an art theft, select the "Art Theft/ Impersination" report option and link/source the original artist/artwork. (Artfol needs proof to deal with the art thief!)
-or Harassment, Bullying | Inappropriate Content | or others.

(Alternatively can discuss about a certain users on the Discord server as well. You can message or ping (Pockii), which will help them taking appropriate action sooner.)

๐Ÿšฉ I also recommend checking if the user has multiple accounts - for those who saw the "dw@ft" account, this person created multiple accounts to steal dwaft art, post hateful comments, and be transphobic, among other things.

๐Ÿšฉ If you share this with others, they may re-recognize the user and share other accounts belonging to the same person, causing them to be reported and banned as well.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘…๐Ÿ‘๏ธ And last but not least REPORTING on ARTFOL actually works and helps to keep this community healthy & toxic free! ๐Ÿฅฐ

๐Ÿ”ฅ So let's work together and kick out some scammers! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

I made the mistake of liking without visiting the portfolio. But usually the style will all be different since they steal from many people, and the title will be very generic. Not about the story of the piece. Its not every time these can be used but its common!

I reported someone for tracing others art and having a big amount of followers for that, but i haven't got a notification if the user/post was removed yet lol. (The tracers account is called Lavendermoon i think.)

I always report people using the app to upload stolen memes. That might be okay on IG, but not art portfolio websites.

While it makes me sad to see trolls in here, it makes me glad it got visibility soon and actions were taken instead of just doing nothing and normalize his behavior like it happens in most sites. I reported that user in his second account and now he is gone ๐Ÿฅฐ

A lil headsup: @/dwarfofthemountain seems to be a side-acc of the one we kicked out, watch out for him

Alternatively, if you donโ€™t want to make a โ€žpublicโ€ž fuss about it you can share the users account via direct message with your followers/ Artfolians you trust. To report a specific user together- so if you have one of the trolls to report you can send me their acc as well then I can help you to report them!
