I dont claim I am a smart person, but either people who request are really stupid or I els I am aprently being more dificult then I think.
the problem is in, in my shop I have a few rules, and always I MEAN ALWAYS, I have to ask people to fill out the form, answering all qustions,
as of now not a single person have requested I havent had to waste time asking to follow the rules, often I have to ask two or 3 times.
this is the form for an art cover, A FREE art cover, I dont understand is it diffcult to answar, am I being unreasible, because it dosent make sense to me, I dont find this harsh to ask for, but I still have to ask over and over. so there gotta be some problem

Summary
This text will be hidden
I honestly consider closing my art shop, I love doing art for people, its just people are really dificult to draw for sometimes. I tried to make it as easy as possible, and still, here we are.
I am sorry I am really distress right now, and yes this is a bit of a rant, I am also crying a little bit, dont know why I got so emotinel over it right now.
That is not your fault BTW. People are just being stupid and not reading. All they see is âFree Artâ, and they go for it. That form is not too long. Itâs just detailed. If people canât fill it out, then just tell them that their request is denied.
Itâs all good. They just need to pay more attention, especially when requesting from free artists.
A google form might be easier since you can make it so they HAVE to fill in the questions and canât skip over them.
I get that you donât want to deny people, but if they donât do whatâs asked one time, sure look over it, but over 2 times is already too much. I think you wonât even have the motivation to make that piece after that.
When I made a request I did not get the ââplease follow the rulesââ if this helps to make you feel better? I totally understand how you feel that was why I read through your rules over and over. I followed your rule #15 too
I will support your decision, whatever it is (to close the art shop or not close it)
The entire layout of my shop is 1) no banners, 2) lots of the âhidden textâ things and I (when Iâm actually open) donât really have the issue of people flat out not following rules/filling out forms. And if someone doesnât do it right, I only typically tell them once and then they correct it. If they donât, I ignore the request.
Now, Iâve been seeing tons of new accounts on the forums lately, and I havenât had my shop open for a little while so maybe I havenât experienced enough of this newer crowd yet. But my advice is to just stick to your rules. If they donât follow them, remind once. If they still donât follow, then deny. Youâre literally giving them free art, the least they can do is respect you and your shop. If they donât, then wash your hands of it. Itâs not your problem
itâs not your fault. people have blatantly ignored my shop rules over and over but i try not to fuss about it. you havenât done anything wrong. people look over things sometimes, or either choose not to notice themâ itâs their fault, really.
You are not being difficult whatsoever! You are offering free art to people who follow rules. If they canât follow the rules, thatâs on them. Itâs not your fault at all!
