So, this is more or less a rant journal, or more of a PSA. There is a User on DeviantArt known as CrimsonColt7. Now, you're probably wondering, "what happened to his policy of never mentioning someone he talks ill about?" Well, I just need to say that you should be aware of him and what he's trying to do.

About a week ago at 6:30 in the morning I checked DA and found a note. It was from CrimsonColt7 asking if I was open for requests or an art trade. Since time was tight, I said I could do an Art Trade with him but not a request. He then notified me he could only make cutie marks and logos. I thought to myself, "I could use a logo for a business if I make one," so I accepted that. Then... He rescinds the offer. No explanation, no nothing, as if to say "You know what, I'm going to try to weasel my way to getting a request." He then had the audacity to say that he'd post the 'trade' on his page, somethings I don't generally allow, since it's free booting. I said I'd have to deny the trade if he wasn't willing to put forth equal effort, and he wasn't willing at all. He pretty much BEGGED me to do the art for him, and when I finally responded with "You had your chance, I'll have to block you for trying to swindle your way to free art" he spouted some nonsense about bronies and pegasisters helping each other out(I am neither of which) and I'm fairly sure that he referenced some degree of hatred towards me on his profile afterwards.

Now you're thinking, "Why do I need to know this? How does it effect me?" If he gets around to you, he'll essentially try to cheat you out of your effort by switching around deals. Avoid him if at all possible.

I also feel that I need to say that you should NOT confront him! This will only lead to drama, confusion and a bad time for everyone. We all stay happier if you do not confront him. I only posted this journal to help every one of my watchers stay safe from this megalomaniac.



tl;dr You need to read, reading is good for the brain.

Allow me to disagree with this, madam. This scallywag, this embossed carbuncle deserves a good lesson and I aim to bring him to a manly confrontation.
