Nesting Grounds

anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.

THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.

report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

The dislike button differs depending on your device but it should look something like one of these:

I don’t own these characters and these were likely created by someone who has been harassing me. If it’s not too much of a bother, please report these accounts/characters for impersonation:

I’ve kept quiet about this because I’m not really fond of bringing drama on soc/med. But this person has already crossed the line multiple times:

For over a year now, Schezar Skyblade from Mateus has been harassing me both in and outside of the game.

At this moment, I cannot publicly reveal any details, but if you see any accounts claiming me or my commissions are a ‘scam’, please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns:

I’ve posted about this issue before (original linked below). From the trail we’ve found online, this was the work of the same person who has been harassing me both in-game in FFXIV and across other social media platforms:

I really do like this outfit and really want it in game. To the point I actually doodled it… originally it was supposed to be someone else but a certain someone pointed out that it definately had a diluc vibe. So… yeah. Also, yes I realize drk could also work…
